Description
This map is a rare and valuable map of history, showing North America in 1719, during the colonial era. It was made by two famous French cartographers, Nicolas Sanson, and Hubert Jaillot, and published in Paris. The map is hand-colored and copperplate engraved, and it is in excellent condition. It measures 25 1/2 x 18 inches, and its authenticity is guaranteed. The map reveals how much was unknown or imagined about the continent then. The northwest is blank, while California is an island and the present state is New Albion. A large lake appears in Georgia, where none exists. The British colonies are marked, but the French claim the Carolinas. New Mexico and Florida are huge, and Mexico is divided into regions. The map also shows Canada, the Caribbean, and Greenland as three separate islands. This map is a fascinating glimpse into the past and a great addition to any collection. It is a great opportunity to own a piece of colonial history, a unique and beautiful map of North America from 1719, and to see how the Europeans perceived the world in the 18th century.
