(Map of early USA): Etats-Unis de L'Amerique Septentrionale Avec Les Isles Royal, de Terre Neuve, de St. Jean, L'Acadie &c

Paris, 1785. Very good condition, early outline hand color, nice margins, published when Delamarche was at "Rue du Foin St. Jacques au College de Mtre. Gervais." Minimal foxing and marginal browning. The main focus of the map is east of the Mississippi River, and includes southeastern Canada. There is a table of the post-revolutionary war states and respective capitols in the lower right corner. One other interesting feature, below the list of states, is another list of "proposed states." These entries are from the Land Ordinance of 1784, which was superceded by the Northwest Ordinance of 1787. Thomas Jefferson was involved in these matters, and some of the proposed states (as of the 1784 document) as listed on this map, were: Silvania, Michigania, Chersonesus, Arsenistpia, Metropotamia, Illinoia, Saratoga, Washington, Polypotamia, and Pelisypia. Map reference: McCorkle 785.5. Reference re: 1784 Land Ordinance: McCormick, William and Mary Quarterly, vol. 50, 1993, pp. 112-122. The image measures 18.5 x 24.25 inches (47 x 62 cm.). . Map.
