Chisholm, of Braintree Massachusetts, this pictorial map attempts to illustrate the history of Boston on a single sheet.

Subjects covers range from the former 'Slave Market' in the Boston Common, the 'Cage for Sabbath Breakers' near St. Paul's Cathedral, to the Bath Tub prohibition of 1845.

The verso of the map details the greater Boston area with a focus on the rides of Paul Revere, William Dawes, and Samuel Prescott. The map covers from the Concorld River to Boston Harbor and from the 'Road to Bedford' to South Boston. Numerous vignettes illustrate historical figures, house, and events.
