A fascinating engraved map dated third years after the French revolution showing all of North and South America published in Paris by Basset, based upon work of Johann Baptist Nolin.

At the left and right margins, the map includes a detailed description of America. Elaborate cartouche showing tobacco plant, native Americans smoking a pipe and apparently worshipping fire.
