Description
VAN KEULEN, Gerard (1678-1727).
Carte de la Nouvelle France on se voit le cours des Grandes Rivieres de S. Laurens & de Mississippi...
Engraved map with original hand color.
Amsterdam, ca 1720.
23 1/4" x 39 1/2" sheet, 34 1/4" x 51" framed.
A Rare Large Scale Eighteenth Century Land Map of North America.
The map includes all of present-day Texas on a quite large scale, and with a plethora of detail. The map extends as far west as Arizona (to the Casa Grande area) and far north into Montana, Canada, etc. The Great Salt Lake is located. The detail in New Mexico, Arizona, and Northern Mexico is excellent, too. Van Keulen had the advantage of borrowing from Delisle’s superb Carte de la Louisiane, but Van Keulen’s map extends considerably further west than Delisle’s. Van Keulen’s map is not listed in Wheat, Transmississippi West. This map makes an excellent example of the cartographic war carried out by Europeans making claims to territory in North America.
