Description
MOUZON, Henry (1741-1807).
An Accurate Map of North and South Carolina with their Indian Frontiers...
Engraved map with original hand color in outline.
London: Sayer & Bennett, May 30th, 1775.
41 1/2” x 56 1/4” sheet, 45 3/4” x 60 3/4” framed.
This map by Mouzon is considered the most important map of the Carolinas; it includes the coastline and extends westward to the Appalachian mountains in the Cherokee country. It was considered one of the region's most impressive cartography maps and chart ever produced. The landmark map was the standard for the next 50 years and played an essential role for the American, British, and French forces during the American Revolutionary War.
Today, George Washington's copy is in the American Geographical Society collection; French commander, the Comte de Rochambeau's copy is in the Library of Congress collection; and Sir Henry Clinton's copy is at William L. Clements Library.
