Canada, Long Island New York – Antique Map by Bonne, 1780

Description: This 1780 copperplate engraved map by the esteemed French cartographer Rigobert Bonne, titled L’Isle de Terre-Neuve L’Acadie, ou La Nouvelle Ecosse, l’Isle St. Jean et la Partie Orientale du Canada, provides a highly detailed representation of British North America. Spanning from Newfoundland to the Saint Lawrence and Nova Scotia, this map highlights the essential fishing banks that were vital to the economy and exploration of the region. The lower part of the map includes a detailed depiction of New York’s Long Island and the entrance to New York Harbor, making this a rare and valuable resource for understanding 18th-century North American geography.
