Map of the Straits of Florida and Gulf of Mexico. To accompany a report from the Treasury Department by Israel D. Andrews in obedience to the resolution of the Senate of March 8th 1851. From the archives of the U.S. Coast Survey, A. D. Bache Superintendent. 1852.
1853, Communication from the Secretary of the Treasury, transmitting in compliance with a resolution of the Senate of March 8, 1851, the Report of Israel D. Andrews, consul of the United States for Canada and New Brunswick on the Trade and Commerce of the British North American Colonies, and upon the Trade of the Great Lakes and Rivers; also, notices of the internal improvements in each state, of the Gulf of Mexico and the Straits of Florida, and a Paper on the Cotton Crop of the United States.
Fair. Solid paper, nice impression, light uniform brown tone, minor spotting/staining along a seam, and a few small spots. A ~4 inch tear repaired long ago with tape, not a perfect repair, but unobtrusive; additional minor seam reinforcement with archival tape. Small voids at seam intersections, the largest probably about .25 inch wide. The back of the map was used to do some calculations in pencil. Overall a very attractive map.
