Gray \u0026amp; 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 the \"Land of 10,000 Lakes,\" clearly delineating counties, towns, and significant geographical features, including its numerous lakes and rivers. It offers valuable insights into Minnesota's development during a period of rapid settlement and growth in the post-Civil War era. An excellent find for collectors of antique maps, Minnesota history enthusiasts, or as a distinctive decorative piece.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Versailles Art Gallery","offers":[{"title":"400","offer_id":62615596794015,"sku":"9217","price":400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/1827\/3412\/files\/9217.jpg?v=1765816020","url":"https:\/\/www.versaillesartgallery.com\/products\/antique-1870s-g-w-gray-son-map-of-minnesota-32-x-20","provider":"Versailles Art Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
