By Herman Moll — one of the most important British colonial maps of Carolina. Herman Moll (c.1654–1732) was an influential Dutch-born, London-based cartographer and engraver who became one of the most important map publishers in early 18th-century Britain. His work combining Dutch cartographic precision with British commercial savvy produced some of the most widely distributed maps of the period. His map of Carolina (1736) is a significant document of British colonial cartography, depicting the Province of Carolina with its settlements, rivers, and annotated notes on plantations and Native American territory — reflecting the intense British interest in the economic geography of their American colonies in the early 18th century.

The atlases, which he published were widely well known. He engraved as well maps for other English publishers (John Seller, etc.). In very good condition. A strong impresion.
