"AMERIQUE SEPTENTRIONALE"

Antique copper engraved map of North America, by Rigobert Bonne (1727-1794). The entire western part of the continent is left mostly blank on this map of North America. Indian tribes occupy the edges of defined territory, including Apaches, Sioux, Outagamis, and Assenipouels. The British Colonies and a few major cities are named along the eastern seaboard and in the Great Lakes region. Alaska is shown as a group of islands, the largest of which is labeled "Alaschka". A lot of names are noted in Mexico and the Caribbean.

Rigobert Bonne (1727-1794) was one of the most important French cartographers of the 18th Century. In 1773, Bonne succeded to Jacques-Nicolas Bellin as Royal Cartographer to France in the office of the Hydrographer at the Depôt de la Marine.

Bonne produced some of the most detailed and accurate maps of the period. Bonne died in 1794, his son Charles-Marie Rigobert Bonne continued to publish his work after his death.
