[DCRM-L] Maps in "Révolution de l'Amérique. Par M. l'abbé Raynal ..."

[Oksana Linda]

Thank you, Richard.
Both maps are contemporary, no imprint. Plan of Boston could be by Bellin.
The map at end is torn, so it's hard to tell, but it's probably by Joseph
de Laporte.
Binding is of sturdy sheepskin, edges painted red (could be contemporary).
I'll treat it as a 2nd copy, 'extra-illustrated'.

/Oksana.
