Description: MAP OF BOSTON ITS ENVIRONS & HARBOUR REBELS WORK AGAINST TOWN IN 1775 Water damage mark across the bottom of the map see photos, water marks blend in with map markings. Paper backing on back of frame is ripped. This remarkable map of Boston was based on a map drawn in Boston in June of 1775, probably just a few days before the Battle of Bunker Hill, and published in London by an act of Parliament on 28 August 1775. It is a fine example of one of the earliest obtainable maps relating to the American Revolution, immediately following the arrival in London of the original drawing of the American Siege of Boston Harbor. The depiction of Boston proper shows the city as an island linked to the mainland via a narrow causeway. No street detail is given, but the Common, Mill Pond and Long and Hancock’s Wharves are identified, along with fortifications both on the mainland and on nearby islands.
