1755 MAP OF N. AMERICA

at the start of the French & Indian War

  • J. Lodge. "A Map of the British and French Settlements in North America." From Gentleman's Magazine. London: July 1755. Drawn and engraved by J. Lodge. 11 x 15 1/2. Very good condition.

    This map, issued in the Gentleman's Magazine in mid-1755 (magazine included) was published just before the war was declared. It shows "French Incroachments" and includes detailed text explaining the British claims. Also indicated are the numerous French and British forts in North America. For its excellent and timely detail of the region where the coming conflict centered, this map would undoubtedly have been studied avidly by its readers in the months that followed. It is certainly worthy of our similar avid examination, for it gives us a wonderful look back at the beginnings of the war.  Source: The Philadelphia Print Shop, Ltd.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS: 

By the middle of the eighteenth century, a number of monthly magazines were being published in London. These magazines informed their readers on a variety of subjects, including natural history, topography, sports, and of course current affairs. The British public was fascinated by the events of the war with France and so there was great demand for up-to-date information, especially related to the American theater of battle. The British magazines met this demand with articles and illustrations which they rushed into print as soon as the details became available to them. These are among the most current illustrations of the events of the French & Indian War which are available to us today.  Source: The Philadelphia Print Shop, Ltd.
