DESCRIPTION : NO REFERENCES HAVE BEEN FOUND THUS FAR TO THIS SMALL MAP OF BALTIMORE. THE DATE "1857" IS WRITTEN IN PENCIL ON THE REVERSE SIDE, BUT NO REFERENCE IN PHILLIPS WAS FOUND. WE HAVE NO IDEA WHERE THIS MAP APPEARED, OR WHO THE AUTHOR WAS. THE PUBLISHER, ARCHIBALD FULLARTON & CO. WAS A PUBLISHER AND ENGRAVER IN GLASGOW, SCOTLAND FROM 1834-1870. TOOLEY'S DICTIONARY NOTES THAT THIS FIRM PUBLISHED A GAZETTEER OF THE WORLD IN 1856, SO THE MAP MAY HAVE BEEN FROM THAT BOOK, ALTHOUGH WE HAVE NOT SEEN IT AND DON'T KNOW WHETHER IT IS THE SAME SIZE.

EDITION & STATE INFO : NO INFORMATION IS KNOWN ON EDITIONS AND STATES BY THE WRITER.
