"Carte Geographique, Statistique et Historique du Kentucky", Buchon, Jean Alexandre

This attractive copper engraved map details counties, roads and towns. It is surrounded on three sides with French text describing Kentucky - its history, religions, etc. The size given is for the map only; it is on a large folio sheet measuring 24.5" x 19". Buchon produced the French edition of Carey & Lea's American Atlas. He used a better quality paper and today his maps are generally found in better condition than their American counterparts.

Lovely original pastel coloring. Bit of very faint offsetting and a couple of very faint spots, else very good.
