A Collection of Early United
States Maps
These maps are
from "Atlas Geographique, statistique, historique, et
chronologique des deux ameriques et des iles adjacentes" is
illustrated of 63 plates on double page including 51 engraved maps and
finely colored at the time. 34 maps are devoted to North
America, including 28 which represent states of the Union and 17
others of South America and the Antilles. 27.5 x 21 in (69.8 x 53.5
cm). This book is a
very beautiful
French edition of the American Atlas of Carey & Lea, "A
complete historical, chronological, and geographical American
Atlas," published in Philadelphia in 1822. Nevertheless, it's
different from its American model: seven new maps were added, not
appearing in the American edition, including a map of the United
States, dated 1825; three of them were modified, like the map of the
Russian possession which reflects the Treaty of 1825 between the
United States and Russia on the limits of the north-western coast.
