Copper-engraved map, hand-colored. 48.3x66.1 cm (19x26"). One of the most popular contemporary maps depicting the new United States. It is a derivative of the Lewis Evans map originally published by Thomas Kitchin in 1756. Evans' map contributed enormously to the cartographic knowledge of the Ohio Valley and was the first map to indicate the presence of petroleum in Pennsylvania and coal in Ohio, as well as denoting important passages through the Appalachians. The plate was changed 17 times while passing through the possession of Thomas Jefferys, Sayer & Jefferys, Sayer & Bennett, and finally, Laurie & Whittle in 1794.
