Paris, 1825. Engraved map, 24" x 17.5". Contemporary colouring in outline. A very nice, clean copy with generous margins. Plate number in upper right: No. 32.                  Very early appearance of the "54-40 or Fight"  Oregon Territorial boundary.   The explorations of the Hudson's Bay Company are in evidence as well as significant topographical detail throughout the region.     An uncommon map of Alaska, Canada and the Northwestern US, in the decade following publication of Lewis & Clark's seminal map of the Northwest.   Russian America appears in the Polar regions, as does a region referred to as Nouveau Cornouilles. The limits of Mackenzie, Franklin and Hearn's expeditions are noted, with dates showing the the years of exploration. Excellent detail in the Bering Straits for the period.     The first edition of the map, which would appear in Vivien St. Martin's Atlas Universel for the next decade.
