Large black & white decorative title cartouche [as issued] to lower corner of sheet C
Black and white strap work cartouche [as issued] to upper corner of sheet A, containing "the Approbation of the Right Honourable the Lords Commissioners of Trade and Plantations.." and the approbation of Edmund Halley: "I have seen the abovementioned Map, which as far as I am Judge, seems to have been laid down with great Accuracy, and to shew the Position of the different Provinces & Islands in that Part of the Globe more truly than any yet extant."

Henry Popple produced this map under the auspices of the Lord Commissioners of Trade and Plantations to help settle disputes arising from the rival expansions of English, Spanish and French colonies. "France claimed not only Canada, but also territories drained by the Mississippi and its tributaries - in practical terms, an area of half a continent" (Goss The Mapping of North America p.122.)
Popple's map had quasi-official status, and a copy was sent to each of the governments of each of the colonies.


Popple's famous map on 20 sheets appeared in1733. Popple drew on many sources: the maps of Guillaume De L'Isle and Nicholas de Fer; John Barnwell's manuscript map of the south-eastern colonies of circa 1721 which included up-to-date information on the Indian settlements in the interior; and Cadwallader Colden's famous Map of the Country of the Five Nations. In all, it covers from the Grand Banks off Newfoundland to about ten degrees west of Lake Superior, and from the Great Lakes to the north coast of South America.
On the original 20 sheet map several of the sections are illustrated with pictorial insets, including views of New York City, Niagara Falls, Mexico City, and Quebec, and inset maps of Boston, Charles-Town, Providence and Bermuda. Covens and Mortier published these as seperate map sheets, [ see item 3062].

Benjamin Franklin ordered two of the original map for the Pennsylvania Assembly on 22 May 1746, "one bound and the other in sheets." One of these was hanging in the Pennsylvania State House when the Declaration of Independence was signed on July 4th, 1776. John Adams noted that Popple's map was "the largest I ever saw, and the most distinct." Copies were found in the private collections of several of the wealthier founding fathers, including George Washington.

Attractive small map of Canada and the Great Lakes, a reduced version of one of the most influential seventeenth century maps of the French and English colonies in North America. It concentrates on the region of greatest French interest. The entire Great Lakes basin and the St. Lawrence River are shown in great detail. The most important aspect of the map is the first appearance of L. Erie, ou du Chat as a recognizable lake on an atlas map. This delineation influenced the cartography of the region for more than 100 years and was not superceded until Delisle's "Carte du Canada" in 1703. The map is also an outstanding source for Indian tribal names and locations. Two names:Aouentsiouaeronand Attiouandaronsappear here for the first time. Lake Superior and Michigan Lac du Puansare left open-end to the west. Embellished with a nice title cartouche and engraved by Anthoine d'Winter.

Copper engraved map of Florida by N. Sanson from Halma's Algemeene Werelde BeschryvingVol. 3 Black and white; title in Dutch; verso blank; strapwork title cartouche.
This influential map shows the Spanish and French possessions in the southern part of the United States. The map extends from the southernmost part of Virginia to the coast of what is now Texas. When first introduced by Sanson in 1657, this map was the first to use the name L. Eriein an atlas and to introduce several new rivers in Virginia. The French claims in the Carolinas are reasserted with the region named Floride Francoise, despite the region not having had any French presence for nearly 100 years. The place name Caroline is not related to the future English colony of Carolina. Instead it is a confusion between the French Fort Caroline on the St. Johns River, and Charlefort that was located near Port Royal. According to Burden, this is the third state of the map.

Copper engraved map of Guyana by N. Sanson from Halma's Algemeene Werelde BeschryvingVol. 3 Black and white; title in Dutch; verso blank; strapwork title cartouche.
The map shows a large lake or inland sea Lac, ou Mer que les Caribes appellent Parime les Iaoyi Roponowini.and located on its shores the mythical city of El Doradoor Manoa.
Lake Parime or Lake Parimais a legendary lake located in South America. It was reputedly the location of the fabled city of El Dorado,also known as Manoa, much sought-after by European explorers. Repeated attempts to find the lake failed to confirm its existence, and it was dismissed as a myth along with the city. The search for Lake Parimeled explorers to map the rivers and other features of southern Venezuela, northern Brazil, and southwestern Guyana before the lake's existence was definitively disproved in the early 19th century. Some explorers proposed that the seasonal flooding of the Rupununi savannahmay have been misidentified as a lake. Recent geological investigations suggest that a lake may have existed in northern Brazil, but that it dried up some time in the 18th century. Both "Manoa"(Arawak language) and "Parime" (Carib language) are believed to mean "big lake".
