Scale Most likely from an edition of Coven's and Mortier's: Atlas Nouveau..., the map is a copy of the first state of the first edition of the map published by De l'Isle in 1722. The florid lettering of "D'Amerique distinguishes this state from a second state of the first edition. Shown on the map are physical features, town, political divisions etc. The map is only one of 21 editions published between 1722 and 1830. The N.M.C. hold two copies of the 1739 edition. One is coloured original found in a bound collection of maps by De l'Isle, published by Covens and Mortier. The second copy is a coloured facsimile by Penn Prints.
