Contenants - Title and contents page leaf from "Atlas Ameriquain Septentional" 1778
“Contenants,” (Paris: Chez Le Rouge, 1778), the title and contents page is here signed “Mitchell King, Paris 1840,” housed in a gilt wood frame, overall dimensions 29-1/2 x 22-1/4 in.
Description: Title and contents page leaf from "Atlas Ameriquain Septentional" published by Georges–Louis Le Rouge
This set of maps can likely be traced to antebellum Georgia attorney Mitchell King, whose papers are archived at The University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.
The German-born George-Louis Le Rouge published these maps in Paris at a time when France renewed its active participation in American affairs. The maps meticulously show a rugged North American landscape between Canada and the Gulf of Mexico with details that would aid travelers – and armies - of that era. Accordingly, the Le Rouge maps became highly prized by strategists on both sides of the American Revolution. All plates in the Atlas are copperplate engravings of the period.
