Two maps on one sheet from the French edition of Carey & Lea's atlas. The maps each measure 8" x 8" and include North America (Amerique Sept.) and South America (Amerique Merid.). They are on a large folio sheet surrounded by panels of French text. Beautifully engraved and colored. The United States is shown with the British claims into the Northwest down to the Columbia River, reflecting the 54-50 or Fight controversy. The states and organized territories are depicted with dotted lines (note the large Arkansas Territory). Mexico is in control of Texas and the present-day Southwest. Alaska is not fully shown and is a Russian Possession.
