A handsome and well engraved copper plate map of the Americas that also includes a good bit of Western Europe and Africa.

The Pacific Northwest is virtually blank with a notation concerning the Russian explorations in 1743. The European colonies are shown by dotted lines. Simple title cartouche and nice compass rose. A lovely copy in black and white, as issued.
