An early eighteenth century miniature map of the Americas, from Patrick Gorden's 'Geography Anatomiz'd: or, the Geographical Grammar.' Regional borders are outlined in hand colour.

Robert Morden (c. 1650-1703) was an English bookseller and publisher, as well as an accomplished geographer and cartographer. He is best known for a series of maps issued in 1695 in Gibson's revised edition of Camden's Brittannia,' engraved by Sutton Nichols. Condition: Vertical fold as issued.
