Summary
[edit]| Title |
Français : L'Amerique Septentrionale |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Description |
English: With cartouches by Charles Simonneau the Elder. Engraved by Berey. Guilaume Delisle was only twenty-five years old when he constructed this map, which was soon recognized as a landmark map. With this map (shown here in a later state which corrected an earlier westward bend in South America), Delisle was one of the first cartographers since 1625 to correctly show California again as a peninsula rather than as an island. By choice he left a big portion of northwestern North America blank since he had determined (correctly) that no reliable information was yet available for the area. Delisle, as a geographe de cabinet, was focused on the scientific accuracy of this map. Charles Simonneau's elegant baroque design for the decorative cartouche includes female figures symbolizing four continents. |
