A large handsome map of the Americas that includes the discoveries of Captain Cook in Alaska and Hawaii with several additional islands depicted in the Pacific. The United States is shown confined east of the Mississippi River. The text panel at right names the thirteen original states with additional notes concerning the creation of the new states of Maine, Vermont, Kentucky, and Tennessee. The "territory" of Washington is noted as the capital of the United States. Originally by the Robert de Vaugondy family, this map was reissued by their successor, Charles Francois Delamarche. The map is based on the work of the Robert de Vaugondy family, but was re-engraved by Delamarche to incorporate the latest information gathered by the explorations noted.
