1834 Burr Map of Pennsylvania

Description: 1834 Burr Map of Pennsylvania WE SELL ONLY ORIGINAL ANTIQUE MAPS - NOT REPRODUCTIONS Title: Pennsylvania. Description: This is an important 1834 first edition map of Pennsylvania by David H. Burr. Depicts the state in detail, noting rivers, roads, cities, town and other topographical features, with elevation rendered by hachure. Offers color-coding at a county level. It is very uncommon to find an early 19th century map exclusively depicting Pennsylvania, as most maps of the period bundled it with New Jersey. According to Ristow, although Burr is credited on the title page, he left this atlas incomplete. He was appointed as topographer to the U.S. Post Office, and of the sixty-three maps finally included in this atlas, only completed eight. The rest of the maps were then completed by Illman and Pilbrow in Burr's style. This map was ‘Entered according to act of Congress in the year 1834 by Illman and Pilbrow in the Clerk’s office of the District Court for the Southern District of New York’, but was not published until the atlas was released in 1835. Published by D. S. Stone in Burr’s New Universal Atlas. Size: Printed area measures 11.5 inches high by 13 inches wide. Condition: Very good. Minor foxing. Original platemark visible.

Sometimes duty or tax is due in China, but is seems very random. Hong Kong, Singapore, Korea, and Taiwan have never assessed duty on a map we shipped. Maps shipped to the UK should be duty free as educational materials, but from time to time duty of 5% is assessed incorrectly by the UK customs agents.
