Description
Scarce map of the Southeastern portion of the future United States, based upon De L'Isle's map of 1718.
The map extends from the Rio Grande River to the confluence of the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers, and east to include the Chesapeake and Delaware Rivers, and south to Florida and the Bahamas.
A superb, striking image, with rich details throughout and a striking cartouche showing an Indian hunt in the New World. Excellent detail in Florida, the Gulf Coast, and the Texas coastline, as well as in the interior of Texas and the South. The two large Mohawk villages, illustrated like European cities, adds an unusual touch. S. Agostino is also shown as a large fortified town as is Charleston and Filadelphia.
Map published in Venice by Giambattista Albrizzi.
Albrizzi's maps, derived from the works of Guillaulme de L'Isle and Iasaak Tirion, were prepared for his Atlante Novissimo, che contiene tutte le parti del mondo from 1740 (volume 1) - 1750 (volume 2). At the same time, they were also used to illustrate Lo stato presente di tutti i paesi e popoli del mondo naturale, politico e morale con nuove osservazioni degli antichi e moderni viaggiatori. Scritto in inglese dal signor Salmon. Tradotto in Ollandese, e Francese, Tedescho ed ora in Italiano.
