Item Details
Description
  • Title: 1783 Delisle/Dezauche Map of Great Lakes and Canada -- Carte du Canada qui Comprend la Partie Septentrionale des Etars Unis d'Amerique…
  • Cartographer: Delisle/Dezauche
  • Year/Place: 1783, Paris
  • Map Dimensions (in.): 19.9 X 25.8 in.
  • Description: This is a superbly detailed map of the Great Lakes, Canada's Hudson Bay, Nortwest Passage area and part of Greenland. The map provides the most accurate rendering of the Great Lakes of the time, with the lakes fully enclosed and properly placed in longitude and latitude while still slightly miss-shaped. It names the Ohio River, but positions it north of the actual river course. West of the Mississippi, the fictitious Riviere Longue is prominently depicted. In Canada, special attention is given to the rivers and lakes between Hudson Bay and the St. Lawrence, and Lac de Assenipoils (Lake Winnipeg) connects to Hudson Bay, but not much is surveyed west of Hudson Bay. Sanson's three islands of the Arctic are retained. The exquisite cartouche is decorated with a beaver, natives (one of whom is bearing a scalp), and Jesuit explorers. A table of colors below the cartouche distinguishes the boundaries of the United States and European possessions. This map of Canada and the Great Lakes is one of the most outstanding and influential maps of the eighteenth century. First issued by Guillaume Delisle in 1703, this is the eighth state of the map, issued by Dezauche, before nearly all traces of royalty were erased from the cartouche in the wake of the French Revolution.
