This finely engraved map was published in Paris for a French Edition of one of J. Fenimore Cooper's books titled “The Pioneers or the Sources of the Susquehanna. A Descriptive Tale,” written in 1823. The map shows Lake Otsego & the town of Cooperstown located on the southern shore of the Lake & depicts the source of the Susquehanna River & forested regions around the Lake. James Fenimore Cooper was born in New Jersey in 1789 & died in Cooperstown (named for his father) in 1851. The map was engraved by Pierre Tardieu, one of France's premier engravers, & published under the direction of Aristide Michel Perrot (1793-1879). This is a fine map for admirers of Cooper's novels. The most famous of which is perhaps “The Last of the Mohicans.” which was published in 1826, 3 years after “The Pioneers.” A decorative title cartouche is drawn in top left & ornamented with leaves & scrolls.
