Artist/engraver/cartographer: Jean Alexandre Buchon. Provenance: Atlas géographique, statistique, historique et chronologique des Deux Amériques et des iles adjacentes; par Buchon, dédié à Le Duc d'Orléans, à Paris, à la librairie de J. Carez, éditeur, Rue Haute feuille, no 18; Chez Verdiere, Quai des Augustins, no 25; Chez Bossange, père, Rue de Richelieu, No. 60. MDCCCXXV. Type: Very decorative early 19th century antique hand-coloured engraved map. Text in French. The state boundary is drawn to include Boston Corner, now an outlying hamlet of Ancram in Columbia County, New York. Formerly part of the town of Mount Washington, in the extreme westerly corner of Massachusetts, the state boundary was redrawn to annex this area to New York State in 1857, because of its geographical isolation from the more populous part of Massachusetts. Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard, Cape Cod etc.
