About this Item
Description:
Engraved map, 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches. Two small marginal chips, three tiny pinholes not affecting image. An occasional fox mark, faint offsetting. Very good. A 1796 map for the proposed town of Franklinville, Kentucky, which was printed for William Winterbotham's lengthy work on the history, geography, and commercial prospects of the United States and England's remaining North American colonial possessions. The town was supposed to be located at the meeting of the North and Middle Forks of the Kentucky River, near the present day site of Beattyville, but it was never built. Winterbotham was nevertheless optimistic about the prospects of the town, writing in his chapter on Kentucky that in Franklinville: "The farmer will have no need of manuring his grounds for many years to come, nature having already replenished the soil with a stock not soon to be exhausted.".
