Nell'angolo in alto a sinitra, entro semplice riquadro, sono invece raffigurate le isole sotto il dominio della corona inglese che si trovano a nord della Scozia.

Condición: Very Good. Ginville, Vincent de Ilustrador. First Edition. Ginville, Vincent de. First Edition. Paper size 42.5 cm x 28.5 cm. Plate mark 34 x 22.5 cm. Marginal paper clip stain, inked '109' upper right corner, some marginal chipping to the paper, and old penciled price lower right. A few unobtrusive spots inside the plate marks. Copperplate engraving by Vincent de Ginville with later (awfully bright) hand color. This map would frame up nicely. There appears to be several versions of this map. The David Rumsey Collection has an example dated (on the cartouch) 1705 which he notes as being from Nicolas De Fer's Atlas Curieux, published later. The Library of Congress has an example of the map offered here, with the 1701 date, and a separate page with explanations of the map. We don't know where this 1701 example came from (separately issued or another atlas?). The map highlights locations of Indian villages found by La Salle during his explorations of the coastal areas of the United States. We see the Gulf of Mexico, Cap de la Floride and many inland village names. A nice map showing some early history of the southern United States. It includes parts of modern-day Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida, as well as the Bahamas and Cuba.
