Description: Up for sale is an ORIGINAL, LARGE, HISTORIC, ANTIQUE map from the township of HIGHLAND, located in Chester County, Pennsylvania. This map has property specific detail of the town in 1883. .This map measures approximately 28 x 20 inches, including the border area. This map is from the Breou's Official Series of Farm Maps of Chester County, Pennsylvania. "Compiled, Drawn and Published From Personal Examinations and Surveys" by W. H. Kirk, & Co., Philadelphia, 1883. On these maps of the townships, boroughs, and leading villages in Chester County, will be found a careful delineation of properties therein located. They break down the lots and farms and show the names of the owners who held the deeds for the properties. Maps this early and showing this much detail are hard to find. The map has fantastic hand coloring to it. Lots of color coding to represent various attributes Brick Dwellings, Frame Dwellings, Brick Stables, and Frame Stables. Different shapes are also used to reference stone dwellings, brick dwellings, frame dwellings, stone barns or outbuildings, brick barns or outbuildings, and frame barns or outbuildings. The map also notes the location of the United States Postal Offices. Map is blank on the reverse side. This map is generally in Fair- Condition. Some browning, foxing and staining at the edges.There is a crease down the middle where it was originally bound. The left side of the map is particularly torn at the edges. The map also has some other tears, chips and creases around the edges, but most do not affect the map, with the exception of the very bottom near the middle of the map. Some other dings and stains here and there. This map is a great piece of Pennsylvania history and with the beautiful hand coloring, and it will look very nice when framed. Please note that while I have included a picture of the Title Page of the Atlas this map was taken from, it is NOT included in the sale, as it is a reference piece to determine authenticity for the other maps. I would be happy to include a copy if requested. Please see my store for other great items. Inventory R-14
