Engraved map, partially hand-colored, 445 x 562 mm. Latin text on verso. (Some light staining and offsetting.) Matted and framed.
Derived mainly from the Samuel de Champlain Nouvelle France, 1632, this map "reflects the growing importance of the waters of New France to Europe" (Burden). The present example is extracted from the first Latin edition: Joannes Blaeu America, quae est Geographiae Blauianae pars quinta liberunus volumen undecimum, Blaeu's atlas of America, the eleventh volume of his great Atlas Major. Burden Mapping of North America 371; Koeman I:71-5; See Coolie Verner in Tooley, The Mapping of America, chapter 4, p.166.
