Item Details
Description
Rigobert Bonne (6 October 1727 – 2 September 1794) work represents an important step in the evolution of the cartographic ideology away from the decorative work of the 17th and early 18th century towards a more detail oriented and practical aesthetic. Printed in 1781, during the American Revolutionary War, this map covers the geographic knowlwege from the Grand Banks south to Florida and westward as far as Mexico and Texas. Shows the British holdings in America at their fullest extent. Following the French and Indian War, the British laid claims to all of Canada and the entire Great Lakes region. France maintained its hold on the territory west of the Mississippi River to New Mexico. It mentioned the "sea of west" which was wishfull thinking that there was a nothern passage from the Atlantic to the pacific in the form of a sea covering the North west of northern America . The Amiral De Fonte description of a possible entrance could be a fabrication , no proof of the existance of this navigator has been verified.13 x 8.5 in actual map , with mergin 15 x 11 in. Condition report: Good condition; light toning and occasional faint age spots; some marginal handling marks , engraving with some water color
