This remarkable 16" x 19" antique two-sided map offers a dual historical perspective on two key Southern/Midwestern states: one side features a detailed map of Kentucky, while the other side presents a comprehensive map of Arkansas. Published by G.W. Gray & Son, a prominent Philadelphia-based firm established in the late 1860s, this map is a testament to their renowned cartographic quality. Celebrated 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," this piece likely dates from the 1870s. It provides invaluable insights into the post-Civil War landscape, delineating counties, cities, and major geographical features. An exceptional find for collectors of Americana maps, history enthusiasts, or as a truly distinctive decorative piece.
