Item Details
Description
SANSON, Nicholas (1600-1667).
Le Nouveau Mexique et la Floride.
Engraved map with original hand color. Paris: Chez L'Autheur, 1679 (State 4).
21 1/4" x 28 1/2" sheet, 30 1/2" x 38 1/2" framed.

Sanson's map is the earliest to concentrate on Spanish territories from Florida to California and provided a protype for other mapmakers over the next 50 years. Engraved by Jean Somer, it improves upon Sanson's Amerique Septentrionale in many ways. Amongst them is the first application of ERIE LAC to a recognizable lake. The depiction of California as an island was one of two most influential models (the other being the Briggs model), and was used as a model by many later cartographers.Burden 319; Cumming 49; Leighly 27; McLaughlin 17; Wagner 374; Wheat 39-40.
