This beautifully engraved copper plate map, after Didier Robert de Vaugondy, describes the Maritimes and New England with an inset of the Great Lakes and course of the Missouri River. Fine stipple engraving defines the Bank of Newfound Land. The title is enclosed with a simple oval cartouche. It is identical to John Cary's map of the same title published in John Seally's A Complete Geographical Dictionary (circa 1783), except there is no engraver's or publisher's imprint. The map likely appeared in Michael Adams' The New Royal Geographical Magazine (1794) or Guthrie's Universal Geography Improved (1795).
