Old antique map of North America by Schrämbl F.A. 1788
One of the largest depictions of North America made during the 18th century, based on Pownall's 1783 second state map, which showcases the former thirteen colonies as the newly independent United States of America.
Completion of Schrämbl's ambitious World Atlas, started in 1786, based on the best available sources of the time, was much delayed and the maps were issued piecemeal year by year until the whole atlas appeared in 1800.
