The Traveller?s Tour Through the United States. New York: F. & R. Lockwood, 1822. Engraved map outlined and shaded in color, used for an early American board game, backed on board and evenly browned and faded, several repaired edge tears and stains. Gameplay takes the players around 139 numbered and labeled stops on the map, their advancement being dictated by the spin of a teetotum (spinning top). Lot includes map only, and lacks the accompanying pieces (slipcase, spinner, tokens, and book). Overall 13 3/8 x 16?. Printed on one sheet, unfolded, unlike other copies of this rare map located by WorldCat/OCLC, which are instead cut into sections and linen-backed for folding into the slipcase.
