| This remarkably preserved 32" x 20" antique map, titled "Map of Canada" and focusing on the province of Ontario, was published by G.W. Gray & Son, a prominent Philadelphia-based firm established in the late 1860s. Renowned for producing one of the most successful atlases ("Gray's National Atlas") and for being "one of the last to employ hand coloring on maps," their meticulous detail is evident here. Likely dating from the 1870s, this map provides a fascinating historical snapshot of Ontario and its surrounding Great Lakes region shortly after Canada's Confederation. It clearly delineates boundaries, waterways, and early settlements, offering valuable insights into the geographical and political landscape of the era. An excellent find for collectors of antique maps, Canadian history enthusiasts, or as a distinctive decorative piece. |
