Carte Universelle du Monde Vulgairement dite la Mappemonde: Avec de Nouvelles Observations Touchant les Navigations de Long Cours Par P. Du-Val. Amerique Septemtrionale
Map of North America showing some colonies, cities, rivers, lakes, and Native American land. Ship routes spread across both oceans, including one decorated with an illustrated ship that was hoped to lead to China and Japan through the Hudson Bay. DuVal shows a land mass between Russia and California labeled 'Terre de Jesso.' A small title cartouche on the bottom is held up by two Native American men, one holding an arrow, the other holding a shield. Four men and women, representing the four corners of the world, hold up the large title cartouche in the upper left corner. |
