Massive New-Hampshire -- Pre-Dating Vermont and Maine

Scarce early map of the United States, published in Paris by Lattre.

The states of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia extend to the Mississippi River, and numerous forts and Indian villages are also located.

The configuration of New Hampshire is quite unusual.

A table in the Atlantic names the 13 states with their capitals. West and East Florida are part of the Spanish possession of Louisiane.

Jean Lattré Biography

Jean Lattré (fl. 1743-1793) was a Parisian bookseller and engraver who published many maps, plans, globes, and atlases. He worked closely with other important French cartographers, including Janvier, Bonne, and Delamarche, as well as other European mapmakers, such as William Faden, Santini, and Zannoni. Lattré is also interesting due to his propensity to bring suits against those who copied his work; plagiarism was common practice in eighteenth-century cartography and mapmakers struggled to maintain proprietary maps and information.
