The image area measures 28 x 43.7 cm [11" x 17¼"], and the full title is "Map of the Frontiers of the Northern Colonies with the Boundary Line established Between them and the Indians at the Treaty held by S. Will. Johnson at Ft. Stanwix in Novr. 1768." The wording in the lower corner of the text block reads "Corrected and Improved from Evans Map by Guy Johnson, Dep. Agt. of Ind. Affairs." An inset at the upper left is titled "The Remaining part of Ohio," and the credit line in the lower margin reads "Engraved & Printed by Gavit & Duthie, Albany." The coverage area of the map extends from Lake George to the intersection of the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers, including Niagara, Philadelphia, Albany, Kingston, Carlisle, Lancaster, part of Lake Erie, and scattered forts, including Fort Stanwix. Accompanying the map is a 6-page transcript titled "Deed Executed at Fort Stanwix Nov. 5, 1768 Establishing a Boundary Line Between the Whites and Indians, of the Northern Colonies." The Treaty of Fort Stanwix was a treaty negotiated between Sir William Johnson, his deputy George Croghan, and representatives of the Mohawk, Oneida, Tuscarora, Onondaga, Cayuga and Seneca tribes, whose signs and seals are affixed at the end of the document. These are original, authentic antiquarian documents, not reproductions or modern reprints, and they are fully guaranteed to be genuine. They were printed in Albany, New York, 1849 in The Documentary History of New York. Condition: Both are in very good condition, with no rips, tears, or writing. The map is bright and clean, with folds, as issued, and it is blank on the back, with no printing on the reverse side. The text pages, which measure 8¾" x 5¾", have some minor foxing.
