Item Details
Description
BLAEU, Willem Janszoon (1571-1638).
Extrema Americae versus Boream, ubi Terra Nova / Nova Francia.
Engraved map with original hand color.
Amsterdam, 1662.
21" x 25" sheet.

This handsome map of the Canadian Maritimes is based on Samuel de Champlain's great map of 1632, and augmented with place names from De Laet and Jansson. This is Blaeu's only map of Canada. It shows Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Labrador and the Davis and Hudson Straits as well as the southern tip of Greenland and a portion of northern Maine. The elaborate cartouches symbolize the importance of the Grand Banks fisheries, which are boldly engraved on the map (Burden, 371).
