Handsome and uncommon map that details the independent Republic of Texas, the Southwest United States and Mexico. The lower left quadrant is filled with a large inset with Central America shown on the same scale as the main map. The title contains one of the few direct references to the Republic of Texas. Excellent detail throughout. With Brue's embossed seal and surrounded by a decorative keyboard-style border that indicates longitude from Paris. Fancy title lettering embellished with flourishes.
