ANVILLE, Jean Baptiste Bourguignon d' (1697-1782). Amérique Septentrionale. Paris, 1746.
Engraved map of North America on 4 sheets joined as 2, some outline coloring, image 928 x 873 mm (1092 x 1130 mm sheet). Elaborate cartouche. (Some minor staining and a few short marginal tears.)
D'Anville's large and important map. "To illustrate the [North American] cartography of the second half of the eighteenth century, a d'Anville map is essential. He dominated not only French but all contemporary geographers. His representation of the Great Lakes is superior to that of his contemporary John Mitchell" (Tooley). Karpinski p. 138; Lowery 381; Tooley America p.316; Wagner 552.
