World (Carte Generale du Monde, ou Description du Monde Terrestre & Aquatique), Covens & Mortier, Amsterdam, ca. 1730. 18.7 x 15”. (HC) This is Pierre Mortier`s unique world map drawn on Mercator`s projection. It depicts California as an island and the Detroit d`Anian connected by dotted lines through the Northwest Passage to Button`s Bay located to the west of Hudson Bay. There is an erroneous large lake shown as the source for the Rio Norte (Rio Grande River) located in the Southwest, as well as an early, open-ended version of the Great Lakes named Mer Douce. A small coastline of New Zealand appears in the Pacific. The northeast coast of Asia is severely truncated and shows Witsen`s Cap de Glaces. Australia`s northern coast is shown connected to New Guinea, and two disjointed coastlines appear to the south, including Van Diemen`s Land. The most interesting features of the map are the five spheres presented along the top depicting day and night, the flood, the phases of the moon, and the Western and Eastern Hemispheres. The map was precisely engraved by Jan van Luchenburg (imprint at lower left). This is the second state with the Covens and Mortier imprint. Ref: Shirley no.622. There is an archivally repaired tear that enters 2.5" into image at bottom and a faint pencil mark to the left of North America. (+B)

Colonial United States and Canada - Great Lakes (Le Canada, ou Nouvelle France, &c.), Sanson, Paris, 1656. 21.5 x 15.8”. (HC) This is one of the most influential seventeenth century maps of the French and English colonies in North America. It concentrates on the region of greatest French interest with the boundary lines reflecting the French version of territorial boundaries. Sanson based the map primarily on Jesuit sources, retaining Champlain`s basic cartographic model for the northern parts of Canada. He added some nomenclature of James, Foxe, and Button and retained the earlier concept of Button`s Northwest Passage, in the southwest corner of the bay. The most important aspect of the map is the first appearance of L. Erie, ou du Chat as a recognizable lake. This delineation influenced the cartography of the region for over 100 years and was not superceded until Delisle`s Carte du Canada in 1703. The entire Great Lakes basin and the St. Lawrence River are shown in great detail. Lake Superior and Michigan (Lac du Puans) are left open-end to the west. Other geographical improvements introduced with this map include a more detailed Hudson Bay, the introduction of Long Island, and the correct position of New Amsterdam. Engraved by Jan van Somer. Ref: Burden no.318; Kershaw no.133; Schwartz & Ehrenberg no.62; Pastoureau, Sanson V [86]. Original outline color on watermarked paper with light toning along centerfold and a printer`s crease at bottom left. There is an extraneous crease at left and two unobtrusive manuscript ink marks at top left. Remnants of paper hinge tape on verso. (+B)
