About This Item
London: Gentleman's Magazine, 1754. unbound. Map. Engraving. Measures 8 3/4 x 11 inches.<br/> <br/> Fascinating map of English and French forts in the Colonies during the French Indian war. Many Indigenous names are included. Strange boundaries extend west and north in the colonies, revealing the disputes over land with the French. Strange cartouche with a mans head in a bush with an arrow in it. Mounted on linen and margins cropped but otherwise in good condition.<br> <Br> The Gentleman's Magazine, founded by Edward Cave of London in 1731, was the first to use the term 'magazine' for any periodical. With its widespread distribution across the British Empire, it was read throughout the English-speaking world. Although the magazine went into decline during the late 18th century, it ran uninterrupted until 1922 reporting anything it thought would be of interest to its readers, from Latin poetry to commodity prices. PJ Mode collection: 2247.01.<br/> <br/>
