Illus: Decorative cartouches surrounding title and scale.
This map of North America was originally drawn and published by Guillaume De L'Isle in 1700. it was probably the best map of America available in 1700. The fine quality of this map made it popular for over 80 years and it was published by many publishers and changed very little in the process. Covens and Mortier published the map several times. The map was re-engraved, and the only changes were the location of the cartouche and the exception of De L'Isle's "avertissement" for his: Nouvelle introduction a la Geographie. The N.M.C. holds two other copies of this map published by Covens & Mortier. (See Note 1)
