The maps include the world (2), Europe, Asia, Africa (2), North America, South America, France (4), the United States, and the Holy Land. The map of the United States depicts the western boundary along the Mississippi River with a large Mississippi Territory, and a large Indian Territory occupying today’s Indiana and Illinois. The states of Vermont and New Hampshire are reversed. The map of North America shows the northwestern boundary between the United States and Canada along the Columbia River, reflecting British claims in the region. Quarto, hardbound in blue paper boards. Deckled sheet edges.
