Description:
Copper-engraved map. 11x19.5 cm (4¼x7¾"), hinged to mat.
Map covering the northeastern part of the United States down to Virginia, focusing on the areas of conflict in the French and Indian War. A great deal of the conflict was focused around the upper Hudson and Lake Champlain, and along the St. Laurence River. The map locates numerous forts involved in the war. This map was published in the rare Grand Magazine of Magazines in the November 1758 issue. The related article "Description of the Map of America" notes "The intelligent reader, in the course of this work, will have frequent occasion to consult this little map, which is much easier referr'd to, than map of larger dimensions." A rare map from this short-lived publication.
