Overview

This is a detailed facsimile of the iconic 1769 'Price Map' of Boston, the most comprehensive map of the city produced before the American Revolution.

Story

In 1769, Boston was a city on the brink of rebellion, its narrow streets filled with British 'Redcoats' and restless colonists.

Maker / Origin

William Price was one of colonial America's most enterprising businessmen, operating 'The King's Head and Looking Glass' in Boston.

Condition & Value

The print appears to be in excellent condition with no visible foxing or water damage. As a modern reproduction, the value lies in its decorative appeal and historical interest rather than rarity.
