About the Item

Rare 1793 Map of North America: French and Indian War Boundaries and Historical Notes This remarkable engraved map of North America, printed in 1793 by Emanuel Bowen and John Gibson for Robert Sayer, captures the complex geopolitical landscape of the continent during the French and Indian War. The map is an extraordinary blend of artistry, cartographic precision, and historical commentary, offering a detailed depiction of British, French, and Spanish dominions. Spanning four joined sheets, it measures approx. an impressive 1033 x 1166 mm (image) and 1068 x 1281 mm (sheet), making it both a practical document of its time and a visually striking historical artifact. Key features include a large figural cartouche, which adds an elegant artistic touch, and two inset maps: one of Baffin and Hudson's Bay and another of Fr. Kino's passage to California, illustrating contemporary knowledge and exploration. The map is rich in detail, showcasing boundaries, cities, towns, forts, missions, roads, trails, trade routes, portages, Indian villages, and tribal territories. It also highlights routes of navigation in the Gulf of Mexico and provides historical and descriptive notes that enrich the viewer's understanding of the geopolitical climate of the era. This map is an essential piece for collectors and historians, reflecting not only the geographical understanding of the late 18th century but also the conflicts and territorial claims that defined the time. It is an excellent example of Bowen and Gibson’s dedication to cartographic accuracy and narrative detail. Condition Report: The map is in good condition for its age, with minor marginal stains that do not detract from its overall appearance. The engraving is clear, and the hand-coloring, where present, remains vibrant. The four sheets are expertly joined, maintaining structural integrity. Framing and Matting Tips: Due to its size and historical significance, professional conservation-grade framing is highly recommended. Use an acid-free mat and UV-protective glass to prevent fading and discoloration. A wide mat border will enhance the visual impact and protect the edges of the map. Choose a frame style that complements the historical aesthetic, such as a traditional wooden frame with a natural or gilded finish. This map would be an outstanding centerpiece in a study, library, or collection room.
