BLAEU, Willem (1571-1638) and Jan (1596-1673). Extrema Americae, Versus Boream, ubi, Terra Nova Nova Francia. [Amsterdam, 1662].
Engraved map of northeastern Canada with contemporary outline coloring, image 450 x 573 mm (548 x 650 mm sheet). Latin text on verso. (Some minor staining.)
Derived mainly from Samuel de Champlain's Nouvelle France, 1632, this map "reflects the growing importance of the waters of New France to Europe" (Burden). The mouth of the St. Lawrence River is shown with more detail than on other prior maps. It was first printed in 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 371; Koeman I:71-5; Tooley America, p.166.
