Circa-1770 colored French map of Florida and the southeastern corner of what is now the United States by Rigobert Bonne entitled "Carte de la Louisiane, et de la Floride". 10-1/2" x 16-1/4". An original copper-engraved map (colored later) showing Louisiana, Illinois, Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas and Virginia as they were demarcated at the time, very important in relation to the failure of the French colony there and subsequent "Louisiana purchase" in 1803, also interesting to see the city names and even the various names of native American tribes in the area, excellent condition except for ink stain in one corner.
