Johann Baptist Homann's magnificent engraving shows the greater part of known North America, Mexico and the West Indies and is an elaborately decorated copy of De L'Isle's foundation map of 1703. Among other features, the original was the first map to accurately delineate the course of the Mississippi and incorporated the recent reports of the French explorers Bienville and D'Iberville. In addition to the cartographic importance of the map this version is the most visually enhanced with vignette scenes of naval battles, natives trading and mining, and an elaborate title cartouche. A good impression, attractively coloured, of a dramatic and artistically presented view of the region.
