    Finely engraved copper plate map of the southeast part of North America based on Delisle. It covers the region from Filadelfia south to the Bahamas, and the coast of the Gulf of Mexico to Tampico. It shows the same area as Ortelius' 1584 map and several earlier maps, but most of the earlier names have been replaced with later names for rivers, towns and villages, and political divisions. The British colonies are confined east of the Apalache. The large pictorial title cartouche features natives aiming arrows at resting lions with elk in the background.

Condition Description: Issued folding on watermarked paper with a few minute pin holes and some light printer's ink residue along the platemark.

Ref: Cumming #277.

$1,300.00 - $1,600.00
