      (Map - Eastern Canada) British America, Comprehending Canada, Labrador, New-Foundland, Nova Scotia &c:

      Est: $200 - $230

      Eastern Canada. Clement Cruttwell, British America, Comprehending Canada, Labrador, New-Foundland, Nova Scotia &c:, from Atlas to Cruttwell's Gazetteer, 1808 (dated). Hand Color. This scarce map of Canada extends from Greenland across the continent to Great Slave Lake (here called Arathapescow Lake), north of today's Alberta. It delineates the lands of the Copper, Dog Ribb'd, and Northern Indians. The map shows a small portion of coastline far to the north on the Beaufort Sea at the delta of the Copper River. There is good detail of the river and lake systems from Great Slave Lake to the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence River. The Mississippi River's source lies just south of Lake Winnipeg. The map is filled with fascinating notations (an area east of Lake Winnipeg is noted "The Climate of this Land is a great deal more temperate than Hudson's Bay"), and several notes concern recent discoveries. The Great Bank and numerous smaller fishing banks are located. The map extends to name Pennsylvania, New York, and New England. Engraved by Neele and published by Longman & Co.

      MERCATOR, MICHAEL America sive India Nova, ad Magnae Gerardi Mercatoris aui Universalis Imitationem, in Compendium Redacta....

      Est: $1,200 - $1,800

      MERCATOR, MICHAEL America sive India Nova, ad Magnae Gerardi Mercatoris aui Universalis Imitationem, in Compendium Redacta. Duisberg [but likely Amsterdam: Hondius, circa 1613 or later]. Hand-colored engraved map, French text on verso with signature mark I. Neatlines 14 3/4 x 18 1/8 inches (38 x 47 cm); presented in a double-sided frame. A few minor spots, unexamined out of frame. Michael Mercator's only known map, a celebrated view of the Americas after the projections of his grandfather, Gerardus, and the 1587 world map by his father Rumold. Of note within the map is the suggestion of the Northwest Passage in the extension of the St. Lawrence River across the continent and the presence of a large, inland lake in Canada but really no depiction of the Great Lakes. Three roundels offer maps of the Gulf of Mexico, Haiti and Cuba. The map was first published in the Latin editions of Atlantis Pars Altera before the plates were sold to Jocodus Hondius and republished with French text (as here) in various editions through 1639.
