'United States of America'


A rare 1819 map of the United States by William Home Lizars and his brother David. The map names and delineates the first 20 states admitted to the Union (up to and including Mississippi in 1817), plus Illinois Territory (admitted as the state of Illinois in 1818), Alabama Territory (admitted as the state of Alabama in 1819), Michigan Territory (part of what was admitted as the state of Michigan in 1837), North West Territory & Missouri Territory to the west of the Mississippi River. The map covers in detail the region between the Mississippi River and the Atlantic Seaboard, and from the Great Lakes to northern Florida and the Gulf of Mexico. Cartographic detail is sparse west of the Mississippi, where it includes some Native American settlements. Areas and settlements populated by American Indian Tribes prior to the 1830 Indian Removal Act are marked across Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and Tennessee. This map appeared in David Baillie Warden's "Statistical, Political, and Historical Account of the United States of America".

Condition Guide

We assess the condition of each item using three categories: Good, Fair, and Poor. We strive to ensure that any significant flaws are clearly shown in the images provided and detailed in the accompanying condition statement.

Good

The item presents well, with no significant flaws, and is in frameable condition. Minor imperfections—such as light spotting or offsetting, small blemishes, tight margins, neatly repaired tears, or discreet/professionally executed restoration—do not materially detract from its overall appearance.

Fair

The item shows noticeable flaws but remains in frameable condition. Some buyers may feel these imperfections affect its visual appeal. Typical issues may include more prominent spotting, blemishes, bleed-through from the reverse, obvious offsetting, visible or extensive restoration, wear along fold lines or junctures, small wormholes, trimmed or closely cropped edges, or less carefully executed repairs.

Poor

The item has major flaws that significantly impact its presentation and/or suitability for framing. These may include heavy spotting, staining, bleed-through, offsetting, unrepaired damage, or poorly executed repairs such as tears, holes, or areas of paper loss (including within the printed image). The item may also be fragile and prone to further deterioration.
