Amerique du Nord (NORTH AMERICA)
Out of stock
This is perhaps the most beautiful 19th century North America map we presently have in our stock. The engraving is full of the subtlety and texture of a master’s hand with a clarity and detail that is astounding. Showing us the continent from the artic circle down to the northern coast of South America, this is a thorough and notable map. Coastal regions include notations of seasonal air and water currents, delicately etched islands, and very defined shorelines. The US interior is a study in territorial history including the expansive Nebraska, Kansas (here “Kanzas”), and Utah territories. Complimented by beautiful hand color, this is a wonderful historic map with strong aesthetic appeal.
