Historic Map : Chapman Pocket Map of Wisconsin , 1856, Vintage Wall ArtThis is an extremely rare and unusual 1856 pocket map of Wisconsin by Silas Chapman. Chapman appears to have published two maps pocket maps of Wisconsin in 1856, this map, delineating the entire state, and a another smaller map showing only the surveyed portions (bottom 2 3rd) of the state. This larger map is by far the rarer of the two. Consists of the entire state bounded on the north by Lake Superior, on the East by Lake Michigan, and on the west

This is an extremely rare and unusual 1856 pocket map of Wisconsin by Silas Chapman. Chapman appears to have published two maps pocket maps of Wisconsin in 1856, this map, delineating the entire state, and a another smaller map showing only the surveyed portions (bottom 2/3rd) of the state. This larger map is by far the rarer of the two. Consists of the entire state bounded on the north by Lake Superior, on the East by Lake Michigan, and on the west by Minnesota Territory. The copyright data at the bottom of the map has a date of 1855, but below the title an 1856 date appears. Our research shows no evidence an 1855 version of this map actually being printed. Chapman did issue a smaller version of his Wisconsin map in the 1855 "Traveler's and Immigrants Guide," but there seems to have been no independent issue of a Sectional Map of Wisconsin of this size and form until 1856. The coloration of this map, with light red outlines defining the counties and the state itself outlined in blue, is very similar to that which appears in the map issued with the "Traveler's and Immigrants Guide", but is quite different from other versions of this map also dated 1856. Nor is the red linen binder similar to other 1856 issues which used green linen. This leads us to believe that this map is in fact a very early 1856 printing, most probably a first state and first edition, of this important Wisconsin map. Depicts the state of Wisconsin in considerable detail especially in the surveyed portions of the state. The U.S. soldiers, lacking an interpreter, ignored his plea. Further east, along the Mississippi, the map also shows the site of the Massacre of Bad Axe. Fleeing the aftermath of the Battle of Wisconsin Heights the remaining Sauk, mostly women and children, were cornered against the Mississippi River and slaughtered.

Pleased!

I purchased two of these shelves. Both were received but one was a busted up return from another customer that didn’t get taken out of circulation. Parts were missing and damaged. Returned that for a replacement. It came in perfect. These are easy to put together, minus the pesky stickers that took a lot of patience, Goo Gone, and scraping to get off. I love the 2-tone of the black metal and brown wooden shelves and extra nice touch the middle shelf folds down.

Perfect shelf for the office
Size: 24 Inch, Color: Rustic Brown, Size: 24 Inch, Color: Rustic Brown
When we bought our house it came with an office space and this little wall space in between the cabinets lol. We had no idea what to do with it BUT our monitors took up so much room that we couldn't put anything on the desk really. Then we got the idea of a floating shelf and well this was perfect! Matches and really looks like it came with the house haha. It has held up and now I get my office supplies and can look at pics!
