- Description
Map of North America showing land divisions between France, Spain, England, Sweden, Denmark and Holland. The map is detailed, labeling cities, forts, island, rivers, lakes, mountains, regions, and Native American land. The map uses sinusoidal projection to simulate the curvature of the earth. The entire north western region is blank, devoid of any speculation. The title cartouche shows the crown and coat of arms of France at the top. Nude Native American women wearing feathered headdresses lounge on both sides of the crown, one holding a squirming child, the other a staff. Two parrots sit underneath the women. This version features a few manuscript notes, labeling cities along the east coast such as Boston and Charleston, and a larger manuscript annotation appears in the lower right margin.
