The map was published in Paris circa 1710.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA superb map of the North American continent illustrating the territorial claims and geographic understanding of European powers at the turn of the 18th century. Complete with early settlement place names, ancestral lands of indigenous cultures, numerous cartographic errors and misconceptions, this map offers a little something for everyone with an interest in the history of the New World.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a spectacular early map of the North American continent with a focus on European possessions and Native American habitation. The map was originally created by the French map maker Nicolas Sanson in the mid-17th century. Jaillot succeeded Sanson's business and undertook the re-engraving and publishing of Sanson's maps and atlases. The Amsterdam publisher Mortier lived in Paris between 1681 and 1685 and was well acquainted with the Sanson\/Jaillot maps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginal color delineates the territories of the east coast as Nouvelle France, N.Angleterre, N.Suede, Virginie, Floride Francoise and Floride. The great lakes are shown to consist of 6 bodies of water with which Ontario is fed by a separate branch of the St. Laurence, and Erie is depicted as landlocked. A possible Northwest Passage is indicated through Button’s Bay and California is mapped as an island. In the west, a series of indigenous tribes are shown to reside between two mountain ranges and along the “River of the North,” which is fed by a large nameless lake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdorning the map is a large, elaborate title cartouche flanked by indigenous warriors and surrounded flora and fauna found within the new world. Two other warriors rest on either side of a distance cartouche containing eight various mileage scales. Both cartouches boast exceptional original color and gold accents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e This map is in A+ condition with wide margins and an overall clean appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInventory #18691 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1200 W. 35th Street #425 Chicago, IL 60609 | P: (312) 496 - 3622\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New World Cartographic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":799108229,"sku":"18691","price":3750.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0390\/9705\/products\/18691a.jpg?v=1736982513","url":"https:\/\/nwcartographic.com\/products\/1710-l-amerique-septentrionale-divisee-en-ses-principales","provider":"New World Cartographic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
