`T Amerikaans Gewest van Florida Door Ferdinand de Soto This interesting copper engraved map is based on Sanson`s map of 1657. It covers the region from Texas to Chesapeake Bay, with many place names noted. The British colonies of Carolina and Virginia are shown east of the Appalachian Mountains, with the rest of the western part of the map named Florida. Lac Erie is shown considerably south of its actual location and the river systems are incorrect. A spurious north-south mountain range stretches through the central plains. Texas is labeled Terlichichimechi and the Florida Peninsula is named Tegesta Prov. A large title cartouche takes up the Gulf of Mexico with a scene of Ferdinand de Soto discussing his expedition with a group of Native Americans.See also lot 763 for Cumming`s excellent reference book, ""The Southeast in Early Maps,"" which discusses this map. A fine impression with very faint offsetting. Issued folding. 6 W x 9 H Aa, Pieter van der 1707

Opkomts, Midden, en Geen Eynde van den door Trapte Jan Lauw This engraving is from the important account of one the most infamous financial meltdowns in history, known as the Mississippi Bubble incident. The central vignette depicts John Law taking leave of the Dukes of Orleans and Bourbon in Paris. A medallion with a portrait of Law appears at top, surrounded by spider webs, snakes, thorns, and fishing rods. Sixteen additional vignettes show scenes from John Law`s career.John Law, a Scottish financier, established the Banque Generale (central bank) in France. He was then granted control of Louisiana and founded the Compagnie de la Louisiane d`Occident, in 1717. Law developed an elaborate plan to exploit the fabulous resources of the region, which quickly gained popularity and people rushed to invest, not just in France, but throughout Europe. This resulted in the development of several other overseas companies, such as the English South Sea Company and a number of smaller companies in the Dutch Republic. The share prices rose dramatically in a frenzy of speculation. In 1720 the bubble burst; speculators cashed in, caused a run on the shares, and the company went bankrupt. As a consequence of the failure, confidence in other similar companies failed, and thousands of individual investors across Europe were ruined.See also lot 7 for a portrait of John Law. A fine impression with a few faint spots and a small abrasion in sky of central vignette. Backed in Japanese tissue to repair a few tears in blank margins. 11.3 W x 14.7 H Anon., 1720
