This attractive copper engraved map details counties (each in full hand coloring), roads, and towns. County configuration is current to 1822, as New London has yet to expand to the north. The map, originally engraved by Young & Delleker in 1822, is surrounded on three sides with French text describing Connecticut - its history, climate, government, religion, and more. The size given is for the map only; it is on a large folio sheet measuring 26.8 x 21.3". Buchon produced the French edition of Carey & Lea's American Atlas. He used a better quality paper and today his maps are generally found in better condition than their American counterparts.
