Samuel de Champlain, 1613

CHAMPLAIN, Samuel de (1567-1635). Carte geographique de la nouelle franse en son vray meridiein. [Paris: Jean Berjon, 1613.]



Champlain’s extremely important and rare second map. First edition, second state updated with the first indication of the Ottawa Valley on a printed map. Hudson Bay is marked at the south with the legend in English: “the bay wher hudson did winter.” Champlain probably obtained knowledge of Henry Hudson’s discoveries from Hessel Gerritz’s work published in 1612. “Seeing the possibilities this could provide [Champlain] had this map drawn up on a larger scale to incorporate the new bay … In this map’s second state it also records Champlain’s voyage during 1613 some distance up the Ottawa River. [This map] not only depicts latitude but longitude also, something virtually never attempted before on a North American map of such detail. Champlain’s acute awareness of the deviation of the compass enables him to portray the St. Lawrence River in its more correct south-west to north-east flow rather than the more usual west to east seen on maps of the period … Heidenrich and Dahl believe that the alterations made to the plate [for this second state] appear to be by Champlain himself. These corrections must have been made sometime between October and December 1613, after Champlain’s return from the New World” (Burden). Burden 161; Kershaw 62.



Engraved map, 286 x 355mm, sheet size (pressed and cleaned, small repairs along the old folds and stub tear, a few associated tiny holes). Matted.
