Description: Cropped illustration of Charles Mason surveying the Mason–Dixon line, circa 1763–1768. (Neither Mason nor Dixon are clearly labeled as such, but this figure is positioned at left and is handling a map that may be Mason's "A Plan of the West Line or Parallel of Latitude". The illustration was created long after they were both dead, so the image is more a representation than an exact likeness anyway.)
