This significant 32" x 20" antique map, titled "Map of California and Nevada," 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 these two burgeoning Western states. It delineates counties and geographical features with precision, offering insights into the post-Gold Rush and early settlement periods. An excellent find for collectors of antique Western Americana maps, history enthusiasts, or as a distinctive decorative piece.
