"Carte de l'Amerique Septentrionale & Meridionale, ou se Trouveur les Trois Voyages de Cook...", Herisson, Eustache

This uncommon French wall map of the Americas shows the three voyages of Captain Cook, along with the tracks of Vancouver, Mackenzie, and La Perouse. The map extends beyond the Americas to include nearly all the South Pacific with both islands of New Zealand shown. It also extends to show western Europe and Africa. The United States reaches to the Mississippi River with Louisiana Territory to the west and Florida is still under Spanish control. In the Pacific Northwest, British claims extend south of the Columbia River. In South America a small remnant of Lake Parime is still shown. Six insets feature islands in the West Indies. Printed on two sheets, joined.
