THE FAMOUS BEAVER MAP MOLL, HERMAN. A New and Exact Map of the Dominions of the King of Great Britain on ye Continent of North America. Engraved 2-sheet map joined, 1000x610 mm, margins trimmed to platemark or just within, but ample; hand-colored in outline, beaver scene entirely hand-colored; several neatly closed tears in the bottom half of the image, one measuring 110-mm and the other about 200-mm (not unsightly and neatly done), otherwise a lovely copy. London, 1715
- Notes: Kershaw's state C of the map, with the "I. King at ye Globe in ye Poultrey near Stocks Market" reading (McCorkle identifies this as the second state). This map has warmed the hearts of collectors for generations with its inset of a bunch of busy beavers at work. Kershaw II:331; Cumming 158; Stevens and Tree, page 34; Schwartz and Ehrenberg, page 138; McCorkle 715.1
