Fine copper engraved chart details the trade winds and sailing courses across the Atlantic. The area covered includes most of eastern North America. Ornamented with rhumb lines, a beautiful compass rose and a decorative scroll-style title cartouche. Filled with numerous notes and comments. One table compares position data between this map and "Mr. Popple's great Map of the British Empire in North America." Jolly calls this a nicely executed map. This is the first edition and not to be confused with the 1755 state.
