Item Details
Description
Colonial Southern United States. Pieter van der Aa, La Floride, Suivant les Nouvelles Observations de Messrs. de l'Academie Royale des Sciences, Etc., 1713 (circa). Black & White. This handsome map of the southern United States was based on Delisle's influential Carte du Mexique de la Floride of 1703. The map details early colonial settlements and Indian tribes. The large lake first found on Le Moyne's 1591 map is here called Lac Grande and is land-locked. The Mississippi River is shown too far west of its true course and the Apalachicola River flows from a large spurious lake in present-day Tennessee. Details of part of the Bahamas are included. The Gulf of Mexico is filled with a large cartouche featuring Native Americas and an incongruent lion.


LITERATURE: Cumming (SE) #155.
Condition
A dark impression with light toning, mild printer's ink residue, and a few spots of foxing. Grade: B+
