Description
Second state of this extremely rare separate publication. This separately issued map is one of the most beautiful of the thirteen American Colonies from the Revolutionary War period. It is also one of the earliest continental maps to focus on the conflict. The Chevalier de Beaurain was Royal Geographer to Louis XVI. At the time, France was secretly aiding the colonies, and the map was intended as a propaganda document to prepare the public for the moment when it would become propitious for France to enter the war on the American side. That moment came in early 1778, shortly after the British defeat at Saratoga.

Beaurain used John Mitchell's famous map of 1755 as a base map, and shows all of North America as far west as the Great Plains. But he has modified and updated Mitchell's political boundaries. The Southern English colonies no longer extend indefinitely to the west, but now have their western boundaries at the Mississippi River. The new Canadian province of Quebec, founded in the 1760s, has been added in, and numerous changes and additions have been made in the Midwest and deep South. The large and very decorative inset at lower right gives a detailed close-up look at the Mid-Atlantic colonies.
The entire map is heavily ornamented, with a rococo title cartouche at upper-left, and a lavish depiction of Mars, the God of War, watching Fame proclaim the new country.

The map is known in three states, which can be identified as follows :
- State 1: Title of the inset reads: Carte de la Nouvelle York d'une partie de la Nouvelle Angleterre et de la Pensilvany.
- State 2: Inset title has been altered to read Carte de Nouvelle York de la Nouvelle Jersey, d'une Partie de la Nouvelle Angleterre de celle Pensilvany du Maryland et de la Virginy.
- State 3: A folding flap has been pasted to the lower margin of the inset, which extends the geography south to Chesapeake Bay.

This copy is in second state : There are substantial changes between the first state and the second state. Lake Champlain is significantly revised, most notably in the south, as is Lake George. The upper Hudson River is also significantly revised above Albany. In the inset, there are dozens of new place names added.

Reference: Sellers and Van Ee #149, McCorkle, B.B. (New England) 777.3.

Condition and Coloring
We indicate the condition of each item and use our unnique HiBCoR grading system in which four key items determine a map's value: Historical Importance, Beauty, Condition/Coloring and Rarity.

Color Key
We offer many maps in their original black and white condition. We do not systematically color-up maps to make them more sellable to the general public or buyer.
Copper engraved or wood block maps are always hand colored. Maps were initially colored for aesthetic reasons and to improve readability. Nowadays, it is becoming a challenge to find maps in their original colors and are therefor more valuable.
We use the following color keys in our catalog:
Original colors; mean that the colors have been applied around the time the map was issued.
Original o/l colors; means the map has only the borders colored at the time of publication.
Colored; If the colors are applied recently or at the end of the 20th century.
