A very interesting folio sheet containing seven maps inset into panels of French text. The largest map (9 x 5.7") titled, "Carte de la Jamaique Nouvelle reveue..." shows the island in great detail and includes a large inset of the Gulf of Mexico and West Indies. The other maps are "Isle des Barbades," "Nouvelle Angleterre et Nouvel York," "Les Barmudes," "Nouvelle Carte de la Caroline," "Nouvelle Carte de la Penslvanie, Maryland, Virginie et Nouvelle Iarsey," and "Parte de l'Amerique Septentrionale." Together these maps cover all of the regions colonized by the English at the early part of the 18th century.
