North America. "Amerique Septentrionale" by R. Bonne (1727-95), Paris ca.1780, printed area 12 1/2" x 8 3/4", with original hand outline color. Among the most popular maps from the "Atlas de toutes les parties connues du globe terrestre…" by G. T. F. Raynal, this handsome map of North America shows the coastal areas well populated. The interior regions west of the Great Lakes are largely unexplored, with the west coast showing anchorages from Alaska to Baja with California, coastal and peninsular, misshapen though attached to the mainland. The Caribbean and West Indies are well delineated along with Central America & the northern part of South America, and Greenland is still shown as part of the North American continent. Excellent condition, handsomely matted and ready for framing.
Estimated Value $275 - 350.
