Schönes Exemplar der detaillierten Karte der Staaten New York und New Jersey, vom Delaware bis Lake Ontario, Martha's Vineyard und bis an den St.Lorenz-Strom reichend. C. J. Sauthier (1736-1802) war der bedeutendste Landmesser des Staates New York im späten 18. Jahrhundert. A fresh and uncut copy of this large and rare 18th century map (covering the area between Lake Ontario, Montreal, Boston and Baltimore) in two sheets (not joined); giving good detail of the area between Lake Ontario, Montreal, Boston and Baltimore, printed from two plates, loose as issued, in fresh contemporary colouring, "Engraved and published by Matthew Albert Lotter, Augsburg 1777". The map was designed after the topographical observations of Sauthier and based on the Meridian of New York (=74 degrees W from Greenwich). C. J. Sauthier was a German surveyor from Strassburg who immigrated to Carolina. He is known especially as a surveyor in the employ of the Governor William Tryon of New York, a formerly British Major-General. Sauthier's first map of the Province, including surveys by Bernard Ratzer as well as his own, was published in 1776. The boundaries of the regions are clearly indicated by an engraved printed and coloured line, and elsewhere in the provinces, much place-name detail is given. A rare map in very good condition (if two sheets pasted together, the size is 58 x 78 cm).
