Re-engraved re-issue of one of the seminal maps of Canada, which first appeared in 1703. Tooley notes the 1703 issue as "the first printed map to show Detroit only two years after the founding of that village by Cadillac. Based on the work of Franquelin Joliet and the Jesuits. In this map he gives a superior rendering of the Great Lakes that in his map of N. America of 1700... The title is enclosed within an elaborate cartouche with natives, missionaries &c. top left, designed by N. Guerard." This 1730 issue by Covens & Mortier, described by Tooley as "re-engraved by a close copy of the original," is about about 7.5 cm. narrower than 1703 edition.
