Johann Baptiste Homann: Totius Americae Septentrionalis et Meridionalis Novissima Representatio quam ex fingulis Geographorum Tabulis collecta luci publicae accommodavit
Title: Totius Americae Septentrionalis et Meridionalis Novissima Representatio quam ex fingulis Geographorum Tabulis collecta luci publicae accommodavit Map Maker: Johann Baptiste Homann
Description: Nice full color of Homann's decorative map of America. This is the second state of the map, with Terra Esonis Incognita in noted inside the NW Coast of America and an indentation in the coastline just below the cartouche, which pushes the coastline nearly due east, before turning southwestward again. This edition shows a corrected Western Coastline, with California no longer shown as an island, although the remnants of the interior sea can be seen near the pais de Moozemlek. Good detail throughout the map, especially in the southwest and near the Great Lakes, which were then actively being explored by the French fur traders and Hudson's Bay Company. Condition Description: Trimmed to margins, with occasional loss at neatline. Some staining. Fold split. Could be cleaned and repaired.
