With inset early map of Philadelphia. Holme completed his plan of the city in 1686 and then turned his attention to the surrounding provinces. The present is the scaled down version of his momentous and detailed 7 sheet map that gave the most exact delineation of the colony's 800 tracts of land.  A very fine example.
