Historic Map : Burr Map of Upper Canada or Ontario, Canada and The Great Lakes, 1835, Vintage Wall Art

This is an attractive 1835 first edition map of Upper Canada or Ontario by David H. Burr. Centered on Lake Ontario, this map covers from Lake Erie northward to Lake Nippissing. Throughout, various cities, rivers, mountain passes, and an assortment of additional topographical details are noted.

According to Ristow, although Burr is credited on the title page, he left this atlas incomplete. He was appointed as topographer to the U.S. Post Office, and of the siin xty-three maps finally included in this atlas, only completed eight. The rest of the maps were then completed by Illman and Pilbrow in Burr's style. This map was ‘Entered according to act of Congress in the year 1835 by Illman and Pilbrow in the Clerk's office of the District Court for the Southern District of New York'. Published by D. S. Stone in Burr's New Universal Atlas.
