By the mid-1830s, Delaware's population was nearly one hundred thousand. The states' commercial opportunities had been expanded with the completion of the Chesapeake and Delaware canal in the earlier part of the nineteenth century. Comprised of only three counties, the State was established in 1638 by William Penn and was one of the original thirteen colonies. The Battle of Cooch's Bridge was a significant military engagement between Colonists and British forces during the American Revolution. The border between Delaware and Maryland forms the Mason-Dixon Line, which is considered the de-facto point between the American north and south. Delaware was the first colony to ratify the United States Constitution. By the early nineteenth century, the ports and waterways allowed the State to import and export numerous goods. These ports would become essential features in the following decades as the American Civil War would rage on the Maryland and Virginia borders, Delaware became an important location for troops and armaments. Lucas' depictions were among the most prized of the era, and this is truly a piece of American cartographical history. He became the most successful mapmaker in Baltimore, and his contributions to early American mapmaking are considerable. Delaware's mid-atlantic location and coastal geography have contributed to the development of a distinct culture and identity that blends Northern and Southern traditions. Our ready-to-hang wall art are printed and framed in the USA using the highest quality materials with professional craftsmanship.
