With light spotting, mostly in margins. Otherwise, very good condition. A very decorative German map published by Tobais Conrad Lotter, one of the leading German cartographers of the eighteenth century. The entire continent is depicted, though no information is given in the northwest part. This is because Delisle mapped only places for which he had accurate, first-hand information, and none was available of this region.
Topographical detail includes rivers, lakes and towns, with some indication of orography.
Politically the map is of considerable interest. Lotter has added his own aesthetic finish to the Delisle cartographic information with a very decorative title cartouche that shows a merchant, Native American and a sleeping lion. The British Colonies in North America. Engraving by Faden. Full original color.
