One of the earliest maps of the state of Pennsylvania, this map is from the first edition of Jedidiah Morse's Geography , one of the first American publications of its kind. Morse, the father of Samuel F.B. Morse, established himself in the 1780s as a producer of fine American maps. His Geography went through various editions beginning in 1793, with the maps being regularly updated, and this is the only edition in which this fine map by Osgood Carleton appeared. The map shows not only the entire state of Pennsylvania, but also New Jersey, almost all of New York and the northern part of Maryland and Delaware.
