This is a hand painted map of the United States, 1867. This map features the states, cities, rivers, elevation and major lakes on a political map constructed and engraved by W. Williams of Philadelphia.

I began with a vintage map of the US, PRINTED the map on archival rag matte paper and then HAND PAINTED the map with museum quality watercolor. I have more US maps available. (Click on 'US locations' in my shop sections.)
