"AN EXACT MAPP OF NEW ENGLAND AND
"AN EXACT MAPP OF NEW ENGLAND AND NEW YORK", COTTON MATHER, 1702 [London: Printed for Thomas Parkhurst, 1702], engraved map, slight wear and repaired closed tears to outer margins. Recogniced as the first 18th century map of New England (Schwartz & Ehrenberg), this map was used to illustrate Cotton Mather's famous history of the Bay Colony, "Magnalia Christi Americana: or the Ecclesiastical History of New England from Its First Planting". The map provided little new geographic information, since it was based on an earlier printed map -- Thornton, Morden, and Lea's 1685 map of New England. Mather's history of the settlement of New England is one of the most interesting and valuable sources for the study of life in early colonial New England. It is generally considered to be America's most famous 18th-century book. 11" x 14" on laid paper, thread margins, losing scale edge at top asnd bottom, toned edges, discolored vertical center fold.
