Very large 1859 map of North Carolina with decorative border containing images of North Carolina buildings and natural features.

Samuel Pearce published a huge map of North Carolina in 1859, embellished with decorative elements at the top and bottom. It represents the final map printed from the copper plates first used to print the 1833 MacRae-Brazier map.
