Description:
Engraved map, outline color. First state (of five).
French edition of the Fry-Jefferson map, considered one of the most important 18th century maps of the region. Due to the rarity and high value of the four-sheet English version of the Fry-Jefferson map, the first state of the single-sheet French version is the earliest obtainable map to accurately depict the interior of Virginia beyond the Tidewater. The present example is first state with the Limites du Lord Fairfax delineating the Fairfax Grant in Virginia's Northern Neck and the vast region northwest of it. The signature of the engraver, Elisabeth Haussard, is below the cartouche.
Provenance: Altman's, 8/65
Condition
A bit of darkening along centerfold, ill-crease at the bottom, a few verso tape repairs, a tiny brown spot; very good or better.
