Progress (Original Grants, Colonial Territory)
From Statistical Atlas of the United States (1880)
As these charts of grant progress show, there was a lot of land-granting going on in the United States in the 1600s. Vast, overlapping grants continued westward indefinitely. Oh, for a time when land was so open and grant-able (except, of course, for all of the people who had been living on much of that land for centuries)!

All prints are on matte, archival, acid-free paper, and all framed prints are framed in satin black wooden frames.
We've done a little bit of cleanup to prepare the image for printing, but this is a faithful reproduction of the source material, and bears any scratches, smudges, or tears that were in the original. How charming!
