Attributed to Jacques Nicolas Bellin. "Grundriss von der Stadt Boston und ihren Gegenden".

Leipzig: Arkstee & Merkins, circa late 1750s or early 1760s. 6 1/4 x 9 3/4 (neat lines) plus full margins. Engraving. Excellent condition. Full margins.

This small, crisply printed, engraved map is based on Bellin's research and publishing of his great 1764 plan of Boston and the Port. A copy in the Library of Congress was recorded in Phillips' Maps of America (p. 147) as one of a number of documents in volumes containing documents such as this map. A key to the left side of the document names 16 locations on this map that also has two scales of miles. This is a fine example of the Enlightenment expressed through publishing in Germany as well as the rest of the European countries and their colonies.
