Exceptionally rare map of America, based upon an important Wall Map. The projection of America is oriented with East at the top. The Northwest is dominated by a very unusual Bay of the West configuration, unlike most other contemporary renditions. New Mexico is noted, anlong with Louisiana, Caroliana, Florida, Labrador, Canada, New England, California and the various countries of South America, including Pays Des Amazons and Tucuman. The map has sparked a debate among Bay of the West scholars as to the source, with suggested names including Von Euler and Nolin. The map is a faithful recreation of a rare French Wall map of America, also oriented with East at the top, with this map likely inspired by the wall map. The map is a faithful recreation of the rare Janvier-Longchamp wall map of America, also oriented with East at the top, with this map likely inspired by the wall map. One of the rarest and most sought after of all maps of the Bay of the West.
