Map of the three southern New England states and parts of the surrounding states. The area depicted includes Cape Cod, Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard, Long Island and Dunstable, New Hampshire, which has since been renamed Nashua. Counties indicated in colors of green, pink, blue and yellow. A table of statistics gives the area and population density of each state, and the populations of the major cities in 1820 and 1830.
Eleazar Huntington (b. 1789) was a Hartford, Connecticut engraver active from about 1820 to 1840. His other works include a series of small American views for a school atlas, published in New York in 1828. In February 2003, two copies of the Declaration of Independence engraved by Huntington, probably to decorate a school or government building, were found in the archives of the Ipswich Historical Society in Ipswich, Massachusetts.
