Very uncommon map by this little known French cartographer. Depicts the continent and the West Indies with a good amount of detail except in the west, which is mostly blank and labeled Quivira with the coastline ending at N'lle Albion. Rococo-style title cartouche.

Condition: A

Very good impression and original color. Professionally backed on heavy acid-free paper. Some ink spots in left blank margin and unobtrusive manuscript ink in cartouche, still very good.
