<b>Maps</b><hr><b>Beautiful 1720 “New Map of New England”</b>

<b>1720, “A NEW MAP OF NEW ENGLAND,” Printed for L. Clark, R. Ford, and R. Crittendon, Choice Very Fine.</b>
10” x 14” uncolored copper engraving--trimmed to size, no margins, silked on verso for stability. Superb early map of New England, highlighting Massachusetts Bay, New Hampshire, Connecticut, and New York, with just a tip of Nova Scotia. Includes small inset maps of “The Harbour of Boston” (with wonderful details of portions of Boston that were formerly under water but are now filled in as land masses), and “Part of the Northern Hemisphere” (which shows Canada: “New Britain” and New France” above “New England.”) Exceptional and beautiful map--perfect for framing and display.
