This fascinating map published during the period of The Republic by the London firm of John Arrowsmith is quite literally covered with hand written notes by an Englishman named Wm. Bollaert who had come to Texas at the behest of his friend William Kennedy who was subsequently appointed British consul at Galveston. Mr. Bollaert was commissioned to write a report for the British Admiralty and hoped to someday write a commercial book (he never did) about his travels in Texas. This beautiful reproduction is printed on parchment style paper and is excellent for framing.
