Par Guillaume De l'Isle premier geographe de sa Majesté de la meme academie.

The area shown encompasses North and South America and the Pacific islands. Political divisions are indicated and the routes of various explorers to 1710 are shown. The map was first published by De l'Isle in 1724 and may or may not have been included in an atlas. No record of its appearance in a published collection has been found. The map was later republished by both Phillipe Buache (1745), (1760) and by the firm of Covens and Mortier [1741] and [1747] in a number of different atlases. The LAC holds one copy of the De l'Isle original and two copies of a re-issue by Covens and Mortier [1741]. The only change in the Covens and Mortier copy is in the imprint.
