• The Outbreak of War with Mexico •
In 1846, Texas had just become the 28th state in the Union. The year prior, President Polk, to precipitate a war with Mexico to obtain territory, stationed U.S. troops along the border with Mexico. Following an 1846 attack (partially provoked) on American forces, in Texas, by Mexican troops, the United States invaded Mexico and the Mexican-American War was underway. This war would lead to the United States obtaining California and New Mexico.
This is an unusual and beautiful early German map. The original, from which this replica was made, featured hand outlined color.

All sizes shown are approximate. Matted maps or prints are smaller than the "matted" dimensions shown by about 6".
All of our authentic, more than 100-year old, maps and prints come double matted within museum quality, archival rag mat boards at NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE.
Due to the INCREDIBLY high shipping prices charged for OVERSIZE shipping, shipping charges may be higher than quoted for items that measure more than a total of 70" (matted height + width). For example a matted piece measuring 32" x 40" would be considered OVERSIZE (72"). For complete delivery information, see Information page.
All our authentic antiques are one-of-a-kind items. Since they are actual old works of art expect small imperfections. In some cases we may have more than one of a particular map or print. Since each is unique they may vary slightly from the item shown (when we have more than one if a particular item, the colors may be different than those shown). Each antique map or print has been dry cleaned by hand and are conservation mounted and protected in attractive rag mats. Every work in our gallery carries a lifetime guarantee of authenticity (authentic antiques only) and a 30-day satisfaction guarantee (see Information page for details). Again, the sizes stated are approximate.
