British Empire in North America 1776 Map
This map documents the British colonies in North America as they were in 1776. There is a detailed cartouche in the upper left-hand corner that shows the full scope of British territorial claims from Hudson's Bay Company lands to West Florida. It encompasses "all the countries comprehended between the Apalaches, Ohio & Missisipi."
Mapmaker Thomas Jefferys had published these territories as separate maps throughout the 1750s and 60s. This 1776 edition represents their first appearance together on a single map. While the Continental Congress was meeting in Philadelphia, cartographers were documenting what would soon become the former British North America.
We remastered this reproduction from a digital scan of the original 1776 map and preserved the period typography and geographic detail. Printed on archival paper with fade-resistant inks, this map captures a specific moment when colonial America was about to become something entirely different.
Available unframed or professionally framed.
