Partie Occidentale De La Nouvelle France Ou Du Canada

A well engraved version of Bellin's landmark map of ten years earlier focusing on the Lakes with large decorative titlepiece above. Despite a little overall age-toning, typical of this publication, this is a fine copy of the most decorative eighteenth century map to concentrate on the Great Lakes and surrounding areas. The German publishing firm created by Johann Baptist Homann was continued by the so-called "Heritiers de Homan", or "Homann Heredibus", who have here reissued Jacques Nicolas Bellin's second major map devoted to the region.
