Description
Nova Francia et Canada. Cornlies van Wytfliet (1555-1597). Engraving. Douai, 1597. 12 x 14 inches sheet. Cornelis van Wytfliet’s Nova Francia et Canada marks the first appearance of the name “Canada” on a printed map and the first map to focus on the St. Lawrence River and Gulf of St. Lawrence. Wytfliet’s map is a highly important early map of Canada from Wytfliet’s Descriptionis Ptolemaicae Augmentum, a pioneering work that set a precedent for the geographic descriptions and atlases of the Americas that followed.
