Antique French map of Boston and Vicinity

DESCRIPTION: SOLD

Antique steel engraving titled "Boston et ses Environs" - Boston and vicinity. Includes outlying towns of Roxbury, Dorchester, Cambridge and Charles Town. This early hand-colored map of the city, at that time largely located on only the Shawmut Peninsula, makes it clear just how much of Boston's current land area is the result of landfill and reclamation. It is said that upwards of 65% of Boston's land area did not exist when the city was founded around 1630.
