1827 Finley Map of Connecticut - Geographicus - Connecticut-finley-1827

A beautiful example of Finley's important 1827 map of Connecticut. Depicts the state with moderate detail in Finley's classic minimalist style. Shows river ways, roads, canals, and some topographical features. Offers color coding at the county level. Title and scale in lower right quadrant. It is very uncommon to find an early 19th century exclusively depicting Connecticut, as most maps of the period bundled it with Rhode Island or Massachusetts. Engraved by Young and Delleker for the 1827 edition of Anthony Finley's General Atlas .
