copper-engraved map, four sheets joined, approx. 104.5 x 98cm, [ 41" x 38.5"]., original outline colour; minute loss at few folds; with two detailed insets, one of the city of Boston and the other of Boston Harbour; with the large cartouche depicting the Pilgrims arriving at Plymouth Rock in 1630. A lovely example of this scarce map, some detail wear on the frame, beautifully matted and framed but, rare. Cumming. British Maps of Colonial America, pp45-47. McCorkle. New England in Early Printed Maps, 774-4. Stevens & Tree. Comparative Cartography, 33 (e). This is the fifth state of this work, which was first published in 1755 and updated periodically thereafter; this map was in Jefferys' posthumous (and notoriously scarce) American Atlas of 1775.

He became an extremely practiced and professional cartographer, and held his profession to the highest level. This map contains family names of real estate holders, as well as cartographic details of the New England states from the latitude of 44'30 in the north to Long Island Sound in the south, encompassing part of Maine, Rhode Island, what is now Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, northern Connecticut, and eastern New York from north of Crown Point through Lake George and down the Hudson River. One of the most important of North American maps, this version was published shortly before the Revolution.…
