"Canada Louisiane et Terres Angloises", Anville, Jean Baptiste Bourguignon d'

This large-scale map is the northwest portion of a four sheet map featuring the Great Lakes and upper Mississippi River. This map extends to the southern end of James Bay, and shows all of Lakes Superior, Michigan, and Huron, with a portion of Lake Ontario. The Keweenaw peninsula is named as Kiaonan, and Isle Royale is called I. Minong. The map was based in part on John Mitchell's famous map of the United States. D'Anville's usual, superb cartographic detail is seen throughout. A handsome cartouche designed by Gravelot fills the upper left of the map.

A good impression with delicate color. There are centerfold separations at top and bottom that have been repaired with archival materials, and some faint spots along the centerfold.
