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
