Description:
This reproduction was electronically captured directly from an original copy without photographic intervention. It is individually ink jet printed upon request using color fast, fade resistant ultrachrome inks on 100% rag archival paper. Bellin's map of the Great Lakes is one of the cartographic landmarks of the region. It is noteworthy for the introduction of the islands in Lake Superior, which would remain on maps for nearly 100 years. The map summarizes the knowledge of the region as the French knew it toward the end of their occupation. It shows the river systems known to the French explorers, locates French forts and settlements, and identifies Indian Villages. The map also incorporates some of the work of the French explorer Sieur de La Verendrye. The map was first issued by Bellin in 1745 and re-issued by the Homann Heirs on the eve of the French & Indian War. A well engraved and highly detailed piece.
