Paul Revere engraved this map as the frontispiece for the Royal American Magazine on the eve of the Revolutionary War. It was the last of three views of Boston he prepared. It was based on his earlier engraving showing the landing of British troops in October 1768, an event that hastened the conflict. The image is double the size of the original to show more clearly the many fascinating details of the city and its crowded harbor.
