Description

Fine example of Chiquet's map of North America from his Le Nouveau et Curieux…

The map includes a description of California in French text in the lower left corner and additional text and several ships and sea monsters in the Atlantic.

Very detailed throughout, with excellent example of California as an Island on the 2nd Sanson model and excellent detail in the Mississippi River Valley and Great Lakes regions. The interior parts of North America reflect the explorations of the Jesuits and the Spanish in the Southwest.
