Sanson from Halma's Algemeene Werelde BeschryvingVol. 3 Black and white; title in Dutch; verso blank; strapwork title cartouche.
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 This delineation influenced the cartography of the region for more than 100 years and was not superceded until Delisle's "Carte du Canada" in 1703.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.

Florida. Florida zoo als het van de Spaanschen en Franschen wordt bezeten. ... Amsterdam Francois Halma 1705Copper 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.

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".
