A Map Of Philadelphia And Parts Adjacent ...
|
This popular version of Nicolas Scull and George Heap's map of Philadelphia and the immediate surroundings, published in the periodical Gentleman's Magazine gives a wonderful picture of colonial settlement with the names of estate holders stretched out along the roads, invariably given British names - such as Lancaster Road, York Road, Haverford Road and so on. A good example of the plates first edition, with the distance table at lower right, with one part of otherwise extensive margins reinstated.
