Original outline colour; slight age-toning and minor spotting, otherwise very good.
"One of the most important maps of the North American continent" - William P.Cumming. This edition published by Covens & Mortier remains unchanged from the original edition of 1718. The first detailed map of the Gulf region and the Mississippi, the first printed map to show Texas [Mission de los Teijas establie en 1716], the first to show the land routes of earlier centuries - De Soto in 1539 and 1540 and his successor Moscoso in 1542, Cavelier in 1687, Tonty in 1702 and the recent routes of Denis in 1713 and 1716. The map had political implications and outraged the English by laying claim to Carolina "so named in honour of Charles 9th by the French who discovered it and took possession and established themselves in 15..." and as a further insult, "Charles Town [Carolina] named by the French Carlefort".
