A beautiful copy of a very desirable and highly decorative United States wall map.  This late edition similar to earlier ones having an illustrated world map printed on the verso.  The stunning and perhaps garish coloring by county are incapable of diminishing the wonderful vignettes.  Nearly the full width of the map at top by five inches high appears a detailed birds-eye view of New York City.  Surrounding vignettes include the Statue of Liberty, Cantilever Bridge at Niagara Falls, Mount Vernon, Capital Building at Washington, Washington Monument (original design), American Eagle with Shield and Niagara Falls.  Areas not containing illustrations showing statistical tables or explanatory text.
