Map is on a 10 ¾" x 15 ¾" sheet that was taken from Nicolas de Fer's "L'Atlas Curieux" of 1715; no content on verso. Date of map was printed in upper margin along with the sheet number "125" and title; content in French. Hand-coloring is still bright. Map has very light toning to edges but is otherwise clean. This detailed map depicts Mexico City when it was surrounded by water and was linked to the mainland by the famous causeways originally designed by the Aztecs. Also pictured are aqueducts and farms and about 50 locations have been numbered on the map but the key is not present likely printed on another page in the Atlas. A beautiful map. . unknown

170123030Paris: Nicolas De Fer 1701. First Edition. Very Good. Ginville Vincent de. Ginville Vincent de. First Edition. Paper size 42.5 cm x 28.5 cm. Plate mark 34 x 22.5 cm. Marginal paper clip stain inked '109' upper right corner some marginal chipping to the paper and old penciled price lower right. A few unobtrusive spots inside the plate marks. Copperplate engraving by Vincent de Ginville with later awfully bright hand color. This map would frame up nicely. There appears to be several versions of this map. The David Rumsey Collection has an example dated on the cartouch 1705 which he notes as being from Nicolas De Fer's Atlas Curieux published later. <br /> <br /> The Library of Congress has an example of the map offered here with the 1701 date and a separate page with explanations of the map. We don't know where this 1701 example came from separately issued or another atlas. The map highlights locations of Indian villages found by La Salle during his explorations of the coastal areas of the United States. We see the Gulf of Mexico Cap de la Floride and many inland village names. A nice map showing some early history of the southern United States. It includes parts of modern-day Louisiana Mississippi Alabama and Florida as well as the Bahamas and Cuba. Nicolas De Fer unknown
