Item History & Price
Reference Number: Avaluer:6860520 | Type: Nautical Map |
Year: 1871 |
This is just a great original piece. Eldridge's charts have become more and more rare lately. Back about a decade ago, I was able to buy a few every year. Lately, I rarely see them and when I do, they are priced way to high. Fortunately, I was able to buy a pair of early nautical maps from a lo...cal estate sale for inexpensive and so I am offering them out for a great deal. Actually, there is another later example of this map for sale published after this edition, priced at more than double I am asking. This is a wonderful original first edition of this large nautical map dating to 1871. Map measures 49 1/2 x 36 inches and is in good condition. On its original linen it has the 2 original labels on the backside. The map shows a slight water stain along the left side of the map but nothing too bad. There are the usual edge chips and small tears that are typical of these used charts from the 19th Century. Some wrinkles within as well but nothing really that bad. One of my favorite parts of this map is that it has hand colored dots within the map that are notations within the harbors. Really a good example of this scarce map. CHECK THE PICTURES ON THIS GREAT PIECE. DONT MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY.
