[MAP - VIRGINIA AND MARYLAND]

VAUGONDY, ROBERT DE. Carte de la Virginie et du Maryland Dressee sur la Grande Carte Angloise de Mrs. Josué Fry et Pierre Jefferson. [Paris]:1755 [but circa 1778]. Third state of five. Engraved map, hand-colored, central fold. 19 x 25 1/2 inches (48 x 64.5 cm) to the neatline. Light toning, a pair of wormholes, laid down on board with some remnants of glue and paper to margins.

Robert de Vaugondy's map of Virginia and Maryland is a reduced version of Fry and Jefferson's landmark map of the region. The title is changed to French but the place names remain in English. This is the third state of the map, with the Pennsylvania-Maryland border delineated to the western terminus of the map, the engraver "Groux" signing his name in the plate, and Vaugondy's title listed as "Geographe Ordinaire du Roi" in the cartouche. This Vaugondy's map was originally issued in his Atlas Universelle and is the earliest obtainable version of the Fry and Jefferson map.
