Rigobert Bonne. "The United States of North America." (Translated)

Paris: 1788-1790. 15 1/4 x 11. Engraving. Original hand coloring. Centerfold as issued. Small amount of foxing in lower margin. Otherwise, very good condition. 

This detailed early map depicts the eastern United States, spanning the Atlantic seaboard from New England to the Georgia coast. It was created by Rigobert Bonne, a prominent French cartographer of the late eighteenth century. Renowned for his expertise in mathematics, physics, and geography, Bonne succeeded Jacques-Nicolas Bellin in 1773 as Royal Cartographer to France, serving in the office of Hydrographer at the Dépôt de la Marine.
