"Carte de la Virginie et du Maryland, ou de la Baie de Chesapeack et Pays Voisins pour Servir a l'Histoire des Etablissemens Europeens...", Bellin, Jacques Nicolas

Finely engraved colonial map that covers most of Virginia, Maryland, Delaware with a bit of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The interior is fully engraved with mountains and great detail along the rivers. An early network of trails and wagon roads stretches as far west as Frederic Town ou Winchester and north to Philadelphia. A delicate rococo-style title cartouche adorns the map.
