Cartobibliographic notes:
|
This map is a collaboration between Coronelli, Tillemon, and Nolin. It is the earliest French map of the English colonies in North America and includes brief historical notes describing Dutch, English, and French explorations and claims to parts of the area. This map was number 18 in a made-up atlas, Cartographie du Canada, assembled by Henry Harrisse and later bought by Samuel Latham Brown. It was disbound when purchased and is held separately by the Library.
