Nouvelle Carte Particulière de L'Amérique où sont Exactement Marquées la Nouvelle Bretagne, le Canada ou Nouvelle France, la Nouvelle Ecosse, la Nouvelle Angleterre, la Nouvelle York, la Pensilvanie, Maery-Land, la Caroline Septentrionale
Map of the northeast corner of America and Canada with hand-colored boundaries. The map shows colonies, Native American nations, fishing areas, and detailed topographical and geographical features. Depths for the banks are sown by soundings. Numerous illustrations of various types of ships dot the ocean and the "Great Fishing Bank of New-Foundland." A hand written note in the top right corner reads "about 1690," an inaccurate date. |
