• The Final Years of the Texas Republic •
The issue of Texas was the dominant political topic of the day. In the 1844 Presidential election, James Polk was swept into office, in part, because he supported the annexation of the Texas Republic and aggressive western expansion of U.S. territory. In 1845, Polk sent U.S. troops into Texas, and fulfilled his campaign promise by annexing the republic. Texas was officially named the 28th state on December 29th, 1845.
The importance of the Texas question is reflected in the existence of this map, which was created for the U.S. Department of State. The original, from which this replica was made, featured hand outlined color.

All sizes shown are approximate. Matted maps or prints are smaller than the "matted" dimensions shown by about 6".
All of our authentic, more than 100-year old, maps and prints come double matted within museum quality, archival rag mat boards at NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE.
Due to the INCREDIBLY high shipping prices charged for OVERSIZE shipping, shipping charges may be higher than quoted for items that measure more than a total of 70" (matted height + width). For example a matted piece measuring 32" x 40" would be considered OVERSIZE (72"). For complete delivery information, see Information page.
All our authentic antiques are one-of-a-kind items. Since they are actual old works of art expect small imperfections. In some cases we may have more than one of a particular map or print. Since each is unique they may vary slightly from the item shown (when we have more than one if a particular item, the colors may be different than those shown). Each antique map or print has been dry cleaned by hand and are conservation mounted and protected in attractive rag mats. Every work in our gallery carries a lifetime guarantee of authenticity (authentic antiques only) and a 30-day satisfaction guarantee (see Information page for details). Again, the sizes stated are approximate.
