Description
Print of steel engraving titled „Vue du Lac Erie“.
Drawn by Milbert.
Engraved by Chavannes.
From „Etats-Unis D‘Amerique by M. Roux de Rochelle. Published by Firmin didot freres. Paris. 1839.
Lake Erieis the fourth largest lake (by surface area) of the five Great Lakes in North America, and the thirteenth largest globally if measured in terms of surface area. It is the southernmost, shallowest, and smallest by volume of the Great Lakes and therefore also has the shortest average water residence time. Lake Erie's northern shore is bounded by the Canadian province of Ontario, with US states of Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York on its southern and easternmost shores and Michigan on the west. These jurisdictions divide the surface area of the lake by water boundaries. The lake was named by the Erie tribe of Native Americans who lived along its southern shore. That Iroquoian tribe called it "Erige" ("cat") because of its unpredictable and sometimes violently dangerous nature. It is a matter of conjecture whether the lake was named after the tribe, or if the tribe was called "Erie" because of its proximity to the lake.
Approx. image size 14, 6 x 9, 1/20, 9 x 12, 3 cm.Condition: good.
