MAP, North America, Levasseur
North America. Victor Levasseur, Amerique Septentrionale, from Atlas Universel Illustre, 1835 (circa). Hand Color.

The United State's claims into present-day British Columbia reflect James Polk's expansionist policies. The map is surrounded by beautifully engraved scenes of North and Central America including local animals, a ship stranded in the polar sea, and a Mayan temple.
Dimensions: 10.9 x 16.9 in
Condition Report: Contemporary outline color with light soiling, a faint blind stamp in the bottom blank margin, and a binding strip at far left. Grade: B+
