Description

Scarce map of America, engraved by Z.Jackson for Payne's Universal Geography.

Despite the title and its supposed appearance in Payne's work, the map is apparently quite rare and we have only been able to locate a single copy of the map in the Bibliotheque et Archives Nationales, in Quebec. The map is almost cetainly a later use of Laurie & Whittle's map of the same name, with only decorative frame and a portion of the text in the title cartouche burnished out and re-engraved. As the Laurie & Whittle plate was in use as late as 1794, we surmise the date of the map as 1795, although the BANQ example is listed as [1793?].

Condition Description
Several repaired intersection tears with some minor loss of image, as illustrated.
