About the Item

Antique Map of North America – Physical Relief Map by Hachette c.1883 Description: This antique map titled “Amérique du Nord” was published around 1883 by E. Hachette in Paris as part of their renowned “Atlas en relief.” The map presents North America with vivid hypsometric tints to indicate elevation, showing physical features such as the Rocky Mountains, Appalachian Mountains, Sierra Madre, Central Plains, Canadian Shield, and coastal lowlands in clear relief. The map extends from Greenland in the northeast to Central America in the south, and from the Pacific islands in the west to the Caribbean islands in the east. It labels key regions such as Alaska (shown here as part of the United States following its purchase from Russia in 1867), Canada, Mexico, and the entire contiguous United States with state boundaries outlined. An inset at top right shows a size comparison of France to eastern North America, highlighting the geographical scale for educational purposes. The title is presented in French, and the legend at lower left categorises elevations from depressions below sea level up to mountain ranges above 5000 metres. Condition: Very good condition with original hand colour preserved. Light age-toning and minor foxing in margins consistent with age. Ready for framing. Framing tip: This beautifully coloured educational map is ideal for framing in a simple oak or black wood frame to enhance its academic and historical aesthetic. Perfect for libraries, offices, geography enthusiasts, or anyone celebrating North American heritage and cartographic history.
