M. Craig. It features a lovely view of Quebec from across the St. Lawrence. The fortifications of the city can be seen in the background.

Levasseur published several different editions of his North America map - this being the most desirable due to its depictions of the ephemeral Republic of Texas. Though cartographically minimalist, there are a number of additional important elements that are worthy of note. <a href="http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/AmeriqueSeptentrionale2-levassuer-1852>... more</a> </p><br> http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/AmeriqueSeptentrionale2-levassuer-1852 http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/AmeriqueSeptentrionale2-levassuer-1852 <p><a href="http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/WestCoast2-vancouver-1799"><img src="http://www.geographicus.com/mm5/graphics/00000001/S/WestCoast2-vancouver-1799-S.jpg" alt="antique map" title="Antique & Rare Maps" border="0" /></a> One of the great navigator George Vancouver's most important and influential maps, this is the 1799 general reconnaissance of the west coast of America from San Diego to Kodiak Island, Alaska.

The map details all of North America in the last year of Texas autonomy (1836 – 1846), thus the continent is divided with color coding into the United States (Vereinigte Staaten), Texas, Mexico, British America (Canada), Russian America (Russisch), Guatemala (inclusive of Panama), and the Antilles or West Indies. <a href="http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/NordAmerika-lowenberg-1846>... more</a> </p><br> http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/NordAmerika-lowenberg-1846 http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/NordAmerika-lowenberg-1846 <p><a href="http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/NorthAmerica-colton-1856"><img src="http://www.geographicus.com/mm5/graphics/00000001/S/NorthAmerica-colton-1856-S.jpg" alt="antique map" title="Antique & Rare Maps" border="0" /></a> An excellent 1856 first edition example of Colton's desirable map of North America.

J. N. De L'Isle and Buache drew this map to illustrate their speculations on the feasibly of a Northwest Passage. Cartographically this map is a combination of data absconded from the Russian “Academy of Sciences” and Buache’s speculations on the Northwest Passage.
