Note:
This is the only War of 1812 map in the Streeter sale. It covers the area of conflict along the U.S. and Canadian border, showing forts on the U.S. side and a great deal of detail on Canadian townships with a separate listing of towns in the various districts. The Karpinski copy adds Doolittle as engraver. The following year Kensett with Shelton put out a more general map of the U.S. showing vignettes of sea battles. Outline color. Not in Phillips. Scarce.
Reference:
Streeter 1061; Karpinski 13 (lists Doolittle as engraver with Kensett); Winearls Mapping Upper Canada 1780-1867, 38 (lists Doolittle as engraver with Kensett)
