    Blunt is a noted figure in 19th century chart making, and this smaller map is from a practical reference that Blunt made looking at the specific parts of America's eastern shore. A fine engraving that shows the coastal outline as well as the depth of the nearby waters in fathoms. A great reference from the time. .
