Title: Amérique Septentrionale dressée sur les Relations les plus modernes des Voyageurs et Navigateurs ou se remarquent les Etats Unis Author: De Vaugondy, Robert Place: Paris Publisher: Date: 1783 Description: Copper-engraved map, hand-colored in outline. 48x58.7 cm. (18¾x23"). North America with inset of the Northwest including Nouvelle Albion, Strait of Anian, and other various fantastic possibilities of a Northwest Passage (Partie Nord-Ouest de l'Amerique, 18x17.5 cm.), perpetuating the fallacies of Fonte. Wheat notes it as "incredibly obsolete geography."
