Full Title:
(Canada, Louisiane et Terres Angloises. Southeast section). Le Fleuve Saint-Laurent represente plus en detail que dans l'entendue de la Carte. (Par le Sr. d'Anville, de l'Academie Rle. des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres, et de celle des Sciences de Petersbourg, Secretaire de S.A.S. Mgr. le Duc d'Orleans. Novembre MDCCLV. Sous le Privilege de l'Academie. Chez l'Auteur, aux Galeries du Louvre. Grave par G. De-la-Haye)
Maps dated 1743-71. Most of D'Anville's atlases were made up for the individual customer, so it appears that no two are alike. Many of the maps are multisheet maps that have here been joined, so the actual map sheet count is about 45. This set is accompanied by a printed list of "Cartes Geographiques de M. D'Anville" with the maps numbered 1-38 in ms, corresponding to the maps in the atlas. This sheet also lists "Ouvrages par ecrit, et qui ont ete imprimes." One of the listed books is dated 1777. D'Anville's maps have a clarity and directness that is very "modern." He read widely, and incorporated the best available geographic knowledge into his work. The English and others copied from his maps extensively. Many of the maps were missing when we acquired this atlas, and have been added subsequently. Maps stored, some bound, in a binding with half leather and cloth ties. "Atlas" printed on the spine.
