Additional Details

The very rare first issue of this map, with the Rio Grande simply called Rio Escondido and without Lake Ontario named or shaded. Though based on Sanson's 1650 map Amerique Septentrionale, this map has much more eye appeal. Burden 355; Wheat, TM, Vol. 1, page 41; McLaughlin 23; Leighly 38.
