I don’t know if this helps, but we have a Low’s Almanac in our collection from 1777 which features a map of the key war locations in New York.  I am attaching a digital scan.

Subject: [NYHIST-L] Maps in Public Buildings

 

I am investigating the distribution and use of maps in New York between 1750 - 1830.  One of the subjects that interests me is the extent to which maps were displayed at that time in public buildings, such as taverns, libraries, museums, and courthouses.  Does anyone know of  specific instances of maps being put on public display at that time?  Any information at all would be helpful.
