MITCHELL, John (1711-1768). [Sheet 2 from:] A Map of the British and French Dominions in North America with the Roads, Distances, Limits and Extent of the Settlements. London, ca 1755-1757?]

Comprising one sheet only of Mitchell's 8-sheet Map of the British and French Dominions in North America. Engraved map hand-colored in outline of the Great Lakes and New France on one sheet, visible area 27 1/2 x 20 3/8 in. (699 x 518 mm). Framed (unexamined out of frame).

Mitchell's map, first published in 1755, was issued just prior to the French and Indian War, and is decidedly pro-English in interpretation. The second edition was the first to incorporate two large blocks of text in the Atlantic Ocean, and subsequent editions were published by Jefferys and Faden.
