Canada, Louisiane, Possessions Angl? par le s. Robert de Vaugondy, Géog? Ord? du Roi; Gravé par E. Dussy
| Map of European claims in North America, with France shown as having claim to the most land, and the British colonies confined to east of the Appalacian Mountains. Regions, Native American land, forts, lakes, and rivers are all marked, along with a few settlements and cities. A large inset map in the upper left corner shows the Northwest Passage discovered by the fictional Admiral de Fonte according to Joseph de'Lisle. A forest scene, foliage, and what appears to be a waterfall decorate the title cartouche. |
