This attractive copper engraved map delineates counties in full hand coloring, roads and towns. County configuration is current to circa 1821, with a large newly formed Hickman County in the southwestern corner. It is surrounded on three sides with French text describing Kentucky - its history, religions, etc. The size given is for the map only; it is on a large folio sheet measuring 27.6 x 21.3". Buchon produced the French edition of Carey & Lea's American Atlas. He used a better quality paper and today his maps are generally found in better condition than their American counterparts.
