New England & Mid Atlantic Regions. "Nouvelle Angleterre Nlle. York, Nlle. Jersey, Pensilvanie Mariland et Virginie." A handsome and important map from the Atlas Portatif, Universel et Militaire. By Gilles Robert de Vaugondy, 1749, Paris. A copperplate engraving with original hand outline color. Printed area is 7 1/2" x 6 3/8". Pedley-468. After the 1748 Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle, which ended the War of the Austrian Succession, Robert de Vaugondy issued an updated edition of his atlas with more detailed maps of the areas changed by the war and treaty agreements. In this map, we see the political boundaries in North America as France saw them at the culmination of the American phase of the conflict, also known as King George's War. Excellent condition.
