Nice group of copper engraved maps. First covers North America with the entire Northwest left blank. Alaska is shown as a group of islands, the largest labeled Alaschka. The United States is shown confined east of the Appalachian Mountains. Second covers the eastern seaboard from Machasuzet Bay to Maryland and inland to Lake Erie and the Ohio River. Includes numerous settlements and forts with excellent detail of mountains and rivers. Third is an attractive map of the Caribbean with good detail of Central America. Includes the Gulf Coast and Florida with St. Augustine, Pensacola and New Orleans named. A large inset of Bermuda is equally detailed along the coasts.
