Title

A New and Correct Map of North America, with the West India Islands.

Map shows the entire USA, Central America, the Caribbean, partly Canada and two partial maps "A particular map of Baffin and Hudson's Bay" and "The passage by land to California". Furthermore a magnificent title cartouche and a cartouche around the mileage indicator.This map was originally published in 1755 and underwent numerous additions and changes until 1798, based on Governor Pownall's surveys. This edition reflects the political boundaries established by the Treaty of Versailles of 1783 (or Peace of Paris), which most notably ended the American Revolutionary War. In the upper right corner is Article III of the Treaty, which established the fishing arrangements between the British and Americans in Canada.

c. 1786
