Rare first edition of this engraved plan of Baltimore, by Fielding Lucas, Jr. (1781-1854), one of the city's most prominent early publishers and cartographers.

The inscription is likely by Henry Fitz, Sr., or Henry Fitz, Jr. (1808-63), the latter a New York and Baltimore-based pioneer of early American photography (among the first in America to conduct experiments with the daguerreotype process) and a noted optician and telescope maker.
