Cloth Map: "Rebellious Colonies" 1777
Explore the geography of the American Revolution with this full-color cloth map of North America from 1777, depicting the continent as it appeared during the height of the colonial rebellion. Centered on the Thirteen Colonies, this vivid reproduction also includes the loyalist provinces of Quebec, Labrador, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, and Rupert’s Land, as well as the contested Ohio Country, Indigenous territories west of the Appalachians, and British holdings in East and West Florida, the Bahamas, and Bermuda.
This detailed map—the work of cartographer John Andrews—was originally titled “A new map of the British colonies in North America, shewing the seat of the present war…” and was crafted to help readers follow the conflict unfolding across vast and varied landscapes.
Printed on a crease-resistant cotton-polyester blend, the map measures 33 × 26.5 inches and makes a distinctive wall display. The fabric is machine washable and iron-safe on low heat, offering both durability and versatility.
Every purchase includes a QR code link to the Colonial Gazette, an annotated guide highlighting over seventy historical points of interest—from Iceberg Alley’s glacial waters to the smuggler’s haven of New Providence—perfect for enthusiasts of exploration, cartography, and Revolutionary-era history.
Carefully restored from the original artifact, this design preserves authentic imperfections while enhancing clarity. The map is printed using eco-friendly, water-based inks, then cut and hemmed by hand, resulting in slight variations and minimal shrinkage common to handcrafted textiles.
