Hubert Jaillot / Renier & Josua Ottens: Amerique Septentrionale Divisee en Ses Principales Parties . . . (California as an Island)
Title: Amerique Septentrionale Divisee en Ses Principales Parties . . . (California as an Island) Map Maker: Hubert Jaillot / Renier & Josua Ottens
Description: Striking example of Jaillot's map of North America, based upon the earlier maps of Nicholas Sanson. California is shown as an island. The Great Lakes are shown with open ends in the West. Excellent detail in California and the Southwest, including the 7 cities of Cibola. A continuous land mass west of California is labeled Iesso. Excellent detail throughout the Eastern US, where the Sanson cartography remains in evidence, especially along the Gulf Coast. This example was issued by Ottens, using the original Jaillot plate and includes attractive old color. There exists are rare 4th State, where California is no longer shown as an island: http://www.raremaps.com/gallery/detail/003ms References: Burden II #700, state 3.
