Paris: Philippe Buache, 1745. Coloured. 485 x 660mm. An important map of North America, engraved by Simoneau from a map compiled by Delisle from the latest French discoveries. As geographer to the Royal Academy of Sciences Delisle had early access to the papers of French explorers, including the Jesuits in Canada and Pierre Le Moyne d’Iberville, the founder of Louisiana.
