Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

Good. Mended centerfold splitting. Uniformly toned; original wash color in a warm patina. Size 19 x 26 Inches. This is the Laurie and Whittle 1794 updated edition of Lewis Evans' foundational 1755 map of the middle part of the British Colonies in North America. Evans' map was the earliest to accurately detail the American frontier at the time of its original publication. It exhibits superb detail in the northern Appalachian Mountains and the Ohio River Valley, providing information about Native American tribes and transport, French and English forts, and other details pertinent to the frontiersman, including sources of salt, roads, and trails. It was hailed by Schwartz and Ehrenberg as 'the most ambitious performance of its kind undertaken in America up to that time.' So widely was the excellence of Evans' map recognized that he was unable to make any money on it at all, as it was promptly pirated by Jefferys, Sayer, Kitchen, Bowles, Crevecoeur, and, as here, Laurie and Whittle. This 1794 edition, at least, updates the map to indicate the outcome of the American Revolution - it names the United States and includes the boundary line between the United States and Canada as determined by the 1783 Treaty of Paris. This is also the first edition of the Evans map to include the new state of Kentucky - although erroneously positioned north of the Ohio River. Publication History and Census This edition of the Evans map - the only one to include post-Revolutionary War detail - was engraved in 1794 by London publishers Laurie and Whittle. It appeared in editions of Thomas Kitchin's New Universal Atlas . The atlas, and separate examples of the map, are well represented in institutional collections. References: OCLC 35065026.
