de l'Isle
L' AMERIQUE SEPTENTRIONALE
Paris, Rue des Canettes, 1700 - 45 X 60,4 cm - original outline colour - three margins cut short - full upper margin - very good condition
Scarce first edition of De L'Isle's landmark map. De L'Isle utilized his position with the King of France to gain access to the best available information from the new world. During this time period he acciduously compiled the geographical data from the reports of the French Jesuit Missionaries and Explorerers in North America, along with Spanish manuscript maps (often copied by the Missionaries while they were acting in the service of the Spanish as spiritual guides and gaining their confidence). The result of this work were a series of landmark maps of the North America, including this map of North America : L'Amerique Septentrionale, 1700), as well as Canada and the Great Lakes (Carte du Canada ou de la Nouvelle France 1703) and the Mississippi Valley & Gulf Coast (Carte de la Louisiane et du Cours du Mississipi 1708).
