Attractive copper engraved map ( 9.3 x 11.5} details counties (each in full hand coloring), roads and towns. It is surrounded on three sides with French text describing New Jersey - its history, religions, etc. 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. A lovely sheet.
