Hermann Moll "Beaver Map"
This is the famous “Beaver Map” entitled “A New and Exact Map of the Dominions of the King of Great Britain on ye Continent of North America…” Hermann Moll, another famous Dutch cartographer of the 17th century, published this map as two joined sheets, using the copper wheel method. This particular map is dated 1711. What makes this map particularly charming is the cartouche on the right side showing how beavers in North America lineup and carry their logs on their shoulders in a supposed military formation. Dimensions: 28"width 44.5" Height
Condition: Multiple folds. A small loss/spot of coloring missing. Near mint when folds are restored. Not inspected outside frame.
