North America From The French Of Mr D'Anville Improved ...
|
An important and detailed map attributed, by mapmaker Thomas Jefferys, to D'Anville's publication of the same year but with additional and new information derived from English travellers. Published in "The Natural And Civil History Of The French Dominions In North And South America", the map includes clear statements of political posturing with, at top left " a lengthy note on "French Incroachments" and at lower right "English Title To Their Settlements On The Continent". Jefferys' map, here in its first edition, dated 1755, proved very popular being reissued, with changed imprint, text content and new cartouche decorations over the next 40 years. Margins reinforced with upper neatline just clipped.
