Item Details
Description
Colonial Southeast United States. Arnoldus Montanus, Virginiae Partis Australis, et Floridae Partis Orientalis, Interjacentiumq Regionum Nova Descriptio, 1671 (published). Black & White. This striking map of the Southeast shows the French and English claims in the region marked with their respective coats of arms. The cartography in the southern part of the map retains Le Moyne's three imaginary lakes, the largest draining through the Carolinas via the May River. While the map is nearly identical to the Blaeu/Jansson model on which it is based, the decorations are entirely original. The title cartouche is engraved onto a buffalo hide displayed by two Native Americans and at top is a large view that illustrates a group of natives panning for gold.

LITERATURE: Burden #413; Cumming (SE) #67.
Condition
A dark impression on a clean sheet of watermarked paper with a faint, extraneous horizontal crease across the middle of the map image. Grade: A
