A most unusual 1799 Rome imprint of the important 1788 Sartine / Dépôt des Cartes et Plans de la Marine map of the American Mid-Atlantic seaboard. Coverage extends from New Jersey and Pennsylvania southward through Maryland and Virginia, then along the Carolina coast to Georgia and Florida. While this map was originally by the French 'Dépôt General de la Marine' in 1778, the present example bears a 1799 Rome imprint. Although a nautical chart, this map features a magnificent wealth of inland detail as far west as the Appalachian Mountains and the Ohio River. (more details)
