Samuel de Champlain, 1632

CHAMPLAIN, Samuel de (1567-1635). Carte de la nouvelle france. [Paris: Claude Collet, 1632.]



Champlain's last cartographic contribution: his rare 1632 map, arguably “the first to depict the existence of the entire Great Lakes network” (Burden). This map covers the same territory as Champlain's map of circa 1616, but with greater detail, especially improving on the Great Lakes. "Lac St Louis" is Lake Ontario and Niagara Falls is depicted at no. 90 (un-named on the map). "Above La nation neutre appears a rudimentary Lake Erie followed by a more recognizable Mer douce, Lake Huron, the ‘freshwater sea’. Grand Lac, or Lake Superior, which Champlain never actually saw, is here depicted for the first time in a recognisable form on a map. Reports of its existence probably came to him through Etienne Brûlé, one of the first coureurs de bois." An illustration of a church serves to indicate the Dutch presence in the region, and is considered the first delineation of present-day New York City on a printed map” (Burden). The Hudson River is here called "Riuere des trettes" and Long Island "Isle de l'Ascension." The map was published in Champlain's 1632 book Les Voyages de la Nouvelle France and retains its original fold marks accordingly. See previous lot for a full description of the book. Burden 237; Church 420; Schwartz & Ehrenberg, pl. 48.



Engraved map on two joined sheets, with narrow margins, 520 x 860mm to neat lines (a few tiny holes at fold intersections and about 6 tiny worm holes in Labrador). Matted.
