Carte Nouvelle de l'Amerique Angloise
The noted antiquarian, James Phinney Baxter, commissioned to be copied many historical maps located in Great Britain and Europe in the late 19th century. He later donated the copies to the State of Maine.
This engraving, published about 1776 by Matthieu Albert Lotter, of the colonies of America shows primitive configurations from "Main" as it reached from the Atlantic to the St. Lawrence, but bounded only by the Kennebec and Penobscot Rivers, down to a distorted sliver of Georgia.
Copies of this image, as well as other maps in this collection, are available through our on-line store.
