{"product_id":"usa-map-2","title":"United States Territories","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis chromolithographic map by H.F. Walling and O.W. Gray captures the United States at a defining moment in its westward expansion. Published in Boston in 1871, the map documents a nation still healing from civil war while pushing relentlessly toward the Pacific. The familiar eastern states appear in their recognizable forms, while the West remains a patchwork of territories: Dakota, Wyoming, Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico await statehood, and Indian Territory occupies what would later become Oklahoma.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe soft pastel color washes distinguish each state and territory, while bold red lines trace the national boundaries with Mexico and British Canada. The decorative cartouche in the lower right corner displays the elegant lettering typical of American Victorian cartography. Walling and Gray were among the foremost American mapmakers of their era, and this piece exemplifies their commitment to both geographic accuracy and visual appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA compelling artifact for collectors of American cartography or anyone drawn to the visual documentation of the nation's territorial evolution. This map tells the story of a country in transformation, making it both a beautiful decorative piece and a fascinating historical document.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16.75\" x 25.5\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e H.F.
