DESCRIPTION

Magnificent, decorative map covering from the Great Lakes and Nova Scotia through the American southeast and French Louisiana, Central America and Venezuela, and Nova Mexico (present-day Arizona). The map is geographically based on an early work by Guillaume de l'Isle. The British colonies are shown confined east of the Appalachians. Relief is shown pictorially, and the map is filled with place names, Indian tribes, and waterways. The map is embellished with a finely engraved title cartouche depicting two native figures, fish, furs, buffalo, and grains. In the Atlantic is a large engraved scene of extensive gold mining operations with Indians bringing their treasures to fill the European's treasure chest. A gorgeous engraving of a raging sea battle is off the Pacific coast of Mexico. The cartouche and engravings are uncolored, with full color on the map.
