A James Wilson 1831 Artifact
This Artifact is a sophisticated piece of history, documenting our world and a young United States at a time of exploration.
Many blank spots of Earth have yet to be discovered. Neither polar region has been conquered by man. Interior areas of several continents still unknown, leading to speculations of what may be found.
Russia has still ownership of Alaska as much of the Untied States has yet to be formed. The Northwest is simply identified as “Missouri Territory”
A print date of 1831 is identified on the cartouche.
