"L'Amérique Septentrionale" during Revolutionary War. BRION DE LA TOUR 1777 map
Artist/engraver/cartographer: Gravées par André sur les dessins de Louis Brion de la Tour. Provenance: "Atlas, et Tables élémentaires de Géographie, ancienne et moderne; Adopté par plusiuers Ecoles Royales Militaires. Nouvelle Édition.", à Paris, chez Barbou, rue des Mathurins. Type: Antique copperplate map with original outline colour. The map was published during the American War of Independence, predating the Louisiana Purchase. Louisiana territory west of the Mississippi appears to be shown as French, while Canada and much of the territory east of the Mississippi including Florida and the Midwest appears to be shown as British. The eastern seaboard of what is now the United States north of Florida is shown as a politically separate entity, presumably the incipient United States.
