Engraved map of Newport, Rhode Island, published in London on September 1, 1777 by William Faden. Based on a survey by Charles Blaskowitz, this is the second edition of a detailed plan depicting the town, its harbor, and key buildings during the Revolutionary War. The map shows streets, dwellings, important buildings (including the Trinity Church and Touro Synagogue), and fortifications.

Complete run of the *Universal Magazine*, November 1776. This issue features a finely engraved map of New York City, closely based on Bernard Ratzer's 1776 map, but with updates reflecting the ongoing Revolutionary War. The map includes street names, buildings, wharves, ferries, fortifications, and notes on recent military actions. Notably, it marks the location of the "Jew's House," providing early documentation of a synagogue in New York City.
