Restoration Dec. 9/74
A rather accurate map of the western hemisphere showing islands, land masses, political divisions, place names and the tracks of various explorers to 1710. The map was originally published by G. De l'Isle in 1724 and bore his own imprint. This copy by Covens and Mortier was included in numerous collections of De l'Isle maps published by them between 1730 and 1780. The LAC holds two copies of this map, one the separate sheet described and the other bound in an atlas comprised of collected De l'Isle maps. The atlas has been given the tentative date of 1741. A copy of De l'Isle's 1724 publication is also held, the only difference between it and the Covens and Mortier copy is in the imprint.
