EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print, titled "Map of Lower New York State and surrounding areas, c. 1775" takes us back in time to the eve of the American Revolution. Created by John Montresor, a skilled engineer and cartographer, this map offers a detailed glimpse into the geographical landscape of Lower New York State and its neighboring regions. Measuring at an impressive 76.2x97.8 cm, this meticulously crafted piece showcases not only the province of New York but also Connecticut, upper New Jersey, and Long Island. It even highlights the extensive land holdings of the Livingston Family Manor. The dedication on this map reads: "To the Right Honourable Sir Jeffrey Amherst Knight of the Bath and Lieutenant General of his Majesty's forces etc". This inscription serves as a humble tribute from Montresor to Sir Jeffrey Amherst himself. With P. Andreus credited as sculptor in the lower right corner, it is evident that great care was taken in every aspect of creating this masterpiece. Framed to an impressive size of 92.7 x 111.8 cm, this litho print captures both historical significance and artistic beauty within its borders. As we gaze upon this remarkable artifact from our nation's past, we are transported back to a time when America stood on the brink of revolution—a testament to both Montresor's skill as an engineer and his commitment to preserving history for future generations.
