(FLORIDA.) Williams, J. Lee. Map of Florida. Large engraved map of Florda, 855x755 mm sheet size, margins trimmed to neat lines or slightly within; considerable wear at edges with some loss, few scattered abrasions and small chips on map surface, some soiling and browning; fairly extensive manuscript additions showing the route(s) of DeSoto and Narvaez and side routes of Maldonado and Anasco, on the sea and overland; linen-backed. New York, 1837

Additional Details



A truly scarce map of Florida and worthy of notice despite its condition. The map originally appeared in Williams's The Territory of Florida (1837). The manuscript additions were not done with a practiced hand, but still add a great deal of character to the map.
