"Carte Generale et Politique de l'Amerique", Mentelle, Edme

This attractive and finely engraved map focuses on North and South America in an unusual projection with warped lines of longitude. The projection allows the inclusion of Africa and Europe at right, and New Zealand and the Pacific Islands at left. The United States is well shown with Georgia extending to the Mississippi River. Santa Fe is located but the entire Rocky Mountain region and Pacific coast is devoid of detail. On fine blue-tint French paper. Blank verso with page number 167.
