FIRST FRENCH EDITION OF THE MOST IMPORTANT MAP IN AMERICA'S
HISTORY

1756. OUTLINE HAND COLOR. COPPER ENGRAVING. Early French
edition of the famous Mitchell map, the map used for
international treaties up into the 20th century. Eight sheets in
wall map format on rods with turned ends. Of especial interest
in this French version is the coloring instructions found in the
German portion of the title. It states, in rather incorrect
German, that France possessed the green and blue areas, England
held the yellow and would also claim the green. Since Frenchman
didn't know or agree with the boundaries of the areas in
dispute, couldn't read German or wouldn't, few copies of the
French version are found correctly colored. Superb modern
restoration and coloring, which was taken from a sample in the
Library of Congress. Of Mitchell's original map there are 21
editions and versions, in four languages. John Mitchell was born
in Virginia and educated as a physician at Edinburgh. While
practicing medicine in Virginia he also made advances in biology
and chemistry and corresponded with Linnaeus describing plants
not known to him. In 1746 the Earl of Halifax commissioned him
to return to England and prepare a map stating the British
claims in North America. A partisan effort in rebuttal of
previous French maps, it is the only map Mitchell is known to
have drawn. A diplomat's map, the third English version was used
in 1783 at the Peace of Paris negotiations to establish the
boundaries of the United States as an independent nation. Many
historians have claimed it to be the most important map in
American history. 52"H. x 75.5"W. VERY GOOD. Price on
request.
