“So thrilled with my purchase! The map and frame turned out beautifully, and Justin was incredible to work with. He was communicative and helpful when I needed my item shipped as soon as possible/expedited. I even had to switch shipping addresses after my order was already processed, and they switched it with no problem. Will definitely be making another purchase from Archive! Thanks Justin!”

The Story Behind the Print
This detailed cartographic portrait captures Connecticut as mapmakers understood it during the 1800s, when westward expansion was reshaping America and precise state boundaries had newfound importance. The original surveyor's careful hand is evident in every county line, river bend, and coastal inlet—from the Connecticut River's meandering path to Long Island Sound's intricate shoreline.
Created during an era when railroads were transforming New England and industrial towns were booming along the state's rivers, this map represents more than geography. It's a snapshot of a young nation defining itself, county by county. The meticulous attention to townships and waterways reflects the practical needs of a growing commercial society that depended on accurate navigation and land records.
Reproduced on 325gsm museum-grade archival matte paper using giclée printing with archival inks, ensuring decades of fade-resistant beauty. Colors may vary slightly between screens and the finished piece — the print will always be richer.

Customer notes
From our collectors
“I couldn't believe my eyes when I unpacked the New York Times print. The quality is amazing and it really almost looks as if you have an old copy in your hand - once it's on the wall you can barely tell the difference. I am super happy with this print and would recommend shopping at this store anytime. Thank you so much!”
“I contacted Paolo to see if she had a map of a certain coastal area that wasn't currently available on her site. She responded within a few hours and located the print by the next day. I received the map a few days after shipping. I couldn't be happier with the quality of the print or the service. She was an absolute pleasure to deal with!!!”
