Description
Engraved by Lattré, this map is most notable for its depiction of Mer de L'Quest or 'Sea of the West', near modern-day Seattle in America. A great sea, easily the size of the Mediterranean, to flow from the then-known Strait of Juan de Fuca.
Showing an opening to the ocean from this great sea roughly in North California or Oregon and Quivira somewhere in Idaho. Fattening Alaska and appropriately leaving blank the unknown parts of Northern America. Listing Indian nations, towns such as Sante Fe and an almost north/south Rio du Nord.
New Albion is on the southwest shore of this great inland sea, which inundates virtually all of present-day British Columbia and Alberta. There is not any sign of a recognizable Alaska. The British colonies are confined east of the Appalachian Mountains with French Louisiana stretching to the Pacific Northwest.
Florida is controlled by Spain. Ft. Cenis and Santa Fe are visible within the Spanish territories in the southwest, labeled Nouveau Mexique here.
The large, decorative title cartouche, incorporating a palm tree and grapevines, was engraved by Berthault.

Condition / Coloring
We indicate the condition of each item and use our unnique HiBCoR grading system in which four key items determine a map's value: Historical Importance, Beauty, Condition/Coloring and Rarity.
We offer many maps in their original black and white condition. We do not systematically color-up maps to make them more sellable to the general public or buyer.
Copper engraved or wood block maps are always hand colored. Maps were initially colored for aesthetic reasons and to improve readability. Nowadays, it is becoming a challenge to find maps in their original colors and are therefor more valuable.
We use the following color keys in our catalog:
Original colors; mean that the colors have been applied around the time the map was issued.
Colored; If the colors are applied recently or at the end of the 20th century, then "colored", or "attractive colors" will be used.
Original o/l colors; means the map has only the borders colored at the time of publication.
