1775 map with Battle of Lexington and Concord and Battle of Bunker Hill — Archival print at actual size
Couldn't load pickup availability
This archival version is an advance order. I don't expect that we'll carry this longer term. We expect to ship this in late February.
In a few weeks we will offer a commercial print that will be 11" x 14". When that is available we'll announce it in our weekly Insiders newsletter.
An original sold at Christie's in January 2024 for $327,600. Both our archival print and our commercial print represent quite a savings.

P.S. And yes, I say that tongue in cheek.
From the label on the map: "A Plan of the Town and Harbour of Boston and the Country adjacent with the Road from Boston to Concord Shewing the place of the late Engagement between the King's Troops & the Provincials, together with the several Encampments of both Armies in & about Boston. Taken from an Actual Survey...by...J. De Costa. London: published by J. Hand, 6 December 1775."
The map is very detailed, including the names of geographic locations and encampments, and showing gun emplacements and lines of fire.
Christie's described it this way:
"The map shows the Boston area with the harbor and the coast north to Marblehead and south to Weymouth, extending inland to just west of the Concord River. Chronologically it covers the period from April 19th to the date of its original publication on 29 July. . . The deployment of the troops during the battle of Lexington and Concord are depicted with captions, as are the principal encampments of the patriot forces under Washington and Ward and the British army under Putnam following the Battle of Bunker Hill. Other locations or objects are number-keyed to 19 "references" in the title cartouche. Single soldiers, labeled "Minutemen" are shown approaching along the roads from Salem and Woburn. Lexington is shown after the battle: the only human figures are three prone wounded soldiers. The actual action depicted is the battle at Concord, where three groups of provincials are shown firing from behind stone walls or rocks at two British companies (there were actually three). North Bridge is labeled "the Bridge where the attack began." Two wounded soldiers lie on the ground, their headgear denoting them as British, while a group of broken pillar-like objects are identified in the reference key as "Stores & Cannon destroyed by the Kings Troops." To the east two groups of marching troops are labeled "Col. Smith's return from Concord" and "Lord Percy's return from Lexington," but there is no indication of the harassing militia who sniped at the British troops during the entire course of their 16-mile return to Boston."
The lower left cartouche reads:
"A PLAN OF THE TOWN and HARBOUR of BOSTON. and the Country adjacent with the Road from Boston to Concord
"Shewing the Place of the late Engagement between the King's Troops & the Provincials, together with the several Encampments of both Armies in & about Boston.

Timing
We try to ship orders within three business days of receiving them. This applies to in-stock items. Framed items or items requiring personalization may take up to two weeks longer. If there is an extended delay, it will be noted on the product page.
We close for a week over Independence Day and Christmas. A notice will appear at the top of every page of the site in advance of this closure.
We ship most orders via USPS, so if the post office is closed, we won't be shipping orders that day.
If you need to receive your order by a certain date, such as to give as a gift or have for a trip, we recommend ordering at least two weeks in advance, especially if you are using USPS shipping.
If you're looking for reliable, on-time deliveries, we strongly suggest upgrading to "UPS 3 Business Day Select Shipping."
Additional notes:
- When fulfillment takes longer, such as around the Christmas holidays, we'll put up an announcement in the site and will list recommended shipping deadlines below.
- If an item is out of stock, we will contact you.
- If one of your items is an advance order, that will be noted on the product page along with an estimate of when it will ship. If that estimated date changes, the product page will be updated.
