    Description

    We are selling four generations' worth of antique original maps. Please check our numerous eBay listings for more one-of-a-kind historic maps. Once they're gone, they're gone!
    This hand-colored map of Somerville, Massachusetts, measures approximately 33" wide x 21" tall. The Title Block says,
    "Plan of Real Estate in Ward 2, Section 5, Somerville, indicating Party and Sq. Ft. Assessed, May 1, 1894." Of note is the beautiful and elaborate hand-writing on this plan!
    It is in excellent condition. There are a few folds that can be smoothed out. There are no rips or tears. There is some evidence of foxing/discoloration due to age, but all information is clear and readable. There is one stamped inventory number on the bottom, and one hand-written pencil number in one corner. There are also a few pencil-marked notes, presumably made by the surveyors who used this plan in their work. Please consider the photos carefully as we cannot accept returns on this plan.
