The American nation:
This is a 1904 American history textbook edited by Albert Bushnell Hart and David Maydole Matteson, published in New York and London by Harper & Brothers for general readers and students. Its pictures are historical maps in a pale, flat palette, with pink and grey shading marking settled areas and outlines of colonial New England, the Chesapeake and the Atlantic coast. A designer could take from them a restrained cartographic style built on washes of colour over thin linework and labels.
