"[Lot of 2] United States [and] Etats Unis de l'Amerique, Corriges et Augmentes en 1803",

A. United States, by Sidney Hall, dated 1829 (9.4 x 7.1"). Nice small map with an extended Arkansas Territory that touches the border of Mexico (Texas) with the Red River serving as part of the southern border. The region to the north of Arkansas Territory and lying between the Mississippi River and the Rocky Mountains, with the exception of Missouri, is noted as Western States and contains the names of numerous Indian tribes. Texas is not named and is part of Mexican Territory. Wisconsin is a large territory that includes today's Minnesota and extends to the Red River of the North. Inset "Continuation of Florida" is on the same scale and locates Key Largo, St. Augustine, Cape Florida, Pt. Tancra, etc. Engraved by Sidney Hall and published by Longman, Rees, Orme, Brown & Green from Paternoster Row, London. Condition: Contemporary outline color with minor foxing and short centerfold separations at top and bottom that have been closed on verso with archival tape. (B+)

B.Etats Unis de l'Amerique, Corriges et Augmentes en 1803, by Tardieu, dated 1803 (8.0 x 7.1"). Nice view of the early United States with its western boundary on the Mississippi River and seventeen states listed. Includes a large unnamed Northwest Territory that extends to the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers and includes Illinois. Ohio, which had just been admitted as a state the year this map was published, is shown in a very early, truncated configuration. Everything west of the Mississippi is named as Louisiane. Good detail throughout including locating the several Army lands (Wabash, Illinois, Ohio, and New Jersey Companies) and numerous native tribes.
