Artist/engraver/cartographer: Jean Alexandre Buchon. Provenance: Atlas géographique, statistique, historique et chronologique des Deux Amériques et des iles adjacentes; par J.A. Buchon, dédié à S.A.R. Le Duc d'Orléans, à Paris, à la librairie de J. Carez, éditeur, Rue Haute feuille, no 18; Chez Verdiere, Quai des Augustins, no 25; Chez Bossange, père, Rue de Richelieu, No. 60. MDCCCXXV. Type: Very decorative early 19th century antique hand-coloured engraved map. Text in French. This fascinating map shows the territorial development of the United States up to 1825. The map states in French that at this time, the United States consisted of "24 states, one District (that of Columbia) and 6 territories (Michigan, Missouri, North-west, Oregon, Florida and Arkansas)". The map further states that "Florida will probably form a state within one year" - in fact it did not achieve statehood until 1845. The states coloured pink along the Atlantic Seaboard are the 13 original states, plus Vermont - later established on land originally claimed by both New York and New Hampshire. The area coloured yellow are the territories gained through the Louisiana Purchase of 1803. Florida territory - captured from Spain in 1821 - is coloured brown. The areas coloured green are the other then states and territories added between 1790 and 1825.
