A very comprehensive map of the north eastern U.S. state of Pennsylvania, taken from Gray's 'Atlas of the United States...' each individual county within the state is highlighted in a different colour. The map notes roads, railways, towns and cities, and some topographical detail. It was one of the original thirteen states that founded the United States of America. Pennsylvania became the second state to ratify the U.S. Constitution on December 12th 1787, some five days after Delaware became the first. The state takes its name after the English Quaker, William Penn. Size: 440 x 715 mm. Lithograph with original colour. Hole to upper central fold, otherwise in good condition.
