About the Item

Title: Antique Rhode Island Map Wall Art – Providence Newport, Rand McNally Description: This original antique atlas map depicts the state of Rhode Island in remarkable late-19th-century detail, presenting the smallest U.S. state with a density of information that feels both graphic and elegant. Towns, rivers, coastal inlets, and an intricate railroad network are clearly shown, reflecting Rhode Island’s industrial and maritime importance during this period. The map highlights key locations including Providence, Newport, Pawtucket, Woonsocket, Warwick, Bristol, and Westerly, with Narragansett Bay forming the dramatic heart of the composition. Rail lines are picked out in red and blue, creating a lively visual rhythm across the otherwise restrained engraved base. An inset map of the City of Providence adds urban detail and visual interest, making this sheet especially appealing to collectors and interior designers alike. Published by Rand, McNally Co., this map combines cartographic clarity with strong decorative appeal. Its balanced proportions and subtle color accents make it well suited for both traditional and contemporary interiors, whether styled as a single statement piece or as part of a New England map wall. Printed on original period atlas paper, the sheet shows the gentle patina and texture expected of a genuine antique map, adding warmth and authenticity impossible to replicate in modern reproductions. Condition report: Light age toning overall. Minor edge wear and small handling marks consistent with original atlas binding. No major tears or losses; a clean and attractive example. Framing tips: Frame in natural oak, walnut, or matte black with an off-white or light grey mat. Museum glass recommended to preserve detail and color.
