Cartobibliographic notes:
This map was originally engraved for Samuel de Champlain. A "proof" issue of the plate with the imprint of Champlain was made in circa 1616 (the only known copy of this issue is held by the John Carter Brown Library). Later Pierre Du Val acquired the copperplate of the map, finished it, and published it in 1653. This map is a later state of the plate published in 1677.
