Vintage Map The Town of Boston in New England 1722 Captain John Bonner 11" x 15 1/2". Old vintage stock have a few wrinkles but no stains or tears - see my photos. This vintage reproduction map was made for Edward Rowe Snow by Daniels Printing Co. of Everett MA. and dates to 1960's - 1970's era.  The Town of Boston in New England by John Bonner is the first printed map of Boston, Massachusetts. Bonner (circa 1643-1726) was a captain, navigator, and shipwright. A wealth of information about pre-Revolutionary Boston is available through Bonner's map, including street layouts, churches, and public buildings. The map also illustrates Boston's importance as a port city, detailing the location of docks, shipyards, wharves, and ropewalks. Bonner's map includes the years of construction for significant churches and public buildings, as well as the years in which there occurred great fires and outbreaks of smallpox. At the time of printing, Boston had 42 streets, 36 lanes, and 22 alleys. There were nearly 3,000 houses of which 1,000 were brick and the rest were of timber. The population was estimated to be near 15,000. Francis Dewing printed an unknown number of copies of the map and sold them throughout Boston. Updates and reissues of the maps were frequent through the end of the century. The map in the collection at the Massachusetts Historical Society is the only known copy of the third state of the 1722 map depicting Boston, likely published in 1725. It is in extremely fragile condition, is missing a few pieces, and has been placed on an archival backing.
