- Description
An updated and corrected version of Robert de Vaugondy's 1750 map "Amérique Septentrionale: Dressée sur les Relations les Plus Modernes des Voyageurs et Navigateurs, et Divisée Suivant les Differentes Possessions des Européens." The borders are hand colored, and the map shows rivers, lakes, cities, and Native American lands. An inset map in the upper left corner ("Partie Nord-Ouest De L'Amerique") shows a detailed depiction of the north west coast which had been left blank in the original map. Along with topographical features and a few cities, de Vaugondy includes notes on the routes and discoveries of various explorers (both real and mythological). An ornamental cartouche depicts fruits, vines, a turtle, a lizard, a bow, a quiver of arrows, and a feathered head dress.
