About this sheet

Original antique map titled 'Carte Géographique Statistique et Historique du New-Jersey'. One of the earliest obtainable maps of the State of New Jersey published outside of the United States. The map appeared in Buchon's edition of Carey & Lea's Atlas, which was highly prized not only for its cartographic information but the marvelous information about each of the states and territories included.

The atlas was issued in 6 editions in English, French & German between 1822 and 1827. The French edition is a completely revised map, with better engraving quality than the original Philadelphia edition.
