Subject: North America, Maps, Early works to 1800, France, Colonies, Maps, Louisiana, Maps, Early works to 1800, New Spain, Maps, Early works to 1800, Mississippi Valley, Maps, Early works to 1800
Date Issued: 1683
Abstract: Alternate title: [Map of New France and Louisiana, Newly Discovered]. This Dutch edition of Hennepin's map features a title cartouche depicting the the triumph of Christianity in Louisiana. The coat of arms of the French House of Bourbon decorates the upper left. While René-Robert Cavelier de La Salle explored the lower Mississippi Valley, Louis Hennepin (1640-c.1705), a Recollect priest, traversed the Illinois River territory. He went west with La Salle, but was dispatched to the Illinois area to make friends with local Indian tribes. On his way, he investigated the Mississippi River. After living among the Indians for eight months, Hennepin returned to Paris. His 1683 book about the expedition, "Description de la Louisiana Nouvellement Découverte au Sud-Ouest de la Nouvelle France," included what is believed to be the first printed map, made from on-the-spot observations, bearing the name "Louisiane." Because he did not actually descend the Mississippi River to its delta, Hennepin depicted the river "Colbert" [Mississippi River] straight south and with a dotted line continued it to the Gulf at almost the same spot where the mouth empties into the Gulf of Mexico today. When his superiors ordered Hennepin to return to America, he refused and subsequently pledged his allegiance and dedicated a revised edition of his earlier work to King William III of England. In this version, Hennepin described himself as a leader of the expedition. He claimed he traveled the entire three-thousand-mile length of the Mississippi River in forty-seven days (to its mouth and back) two years before La Salle. To support his contention, Hennepin included a map depicting the entire course of the Mississippi River to the Gulf of Mexico. This work received great attention because its author urged William III, and thus England, rather than France, to colonize the Mississippi Valley. The British soon came to realize the economic and political potential of the vast territory described in Hennepin's work. The exaggerated and often fictional account of Hennepin's adventures was among the most widely read books of the period and was subsequently translated into several languages.

Date created ms: 1550
Abstract: Mapmaker: [Munster, Sebastian]; [Derek Kandel, engraver]. From Munster's "Cosmography." This is a second state of his earlier woodblock engraving, "Novae Insulae," first published in 1538. It is the earliest known depiction of only North and South America as two land masses joined together, and distinct from other continents. Versions of this map appeared in Latin, French, and other languages, but on this German edition only the name "Die New Weldt (the New World) has been translated. By implication, North America is divided between France ("Francisca") to the north, and Spain ("terra Florida") to the south. Portugal's flag flies just off the African coast. Giovanni da Verrazano's accounts of the new World provided much of the cartographic detail included in this map, while the West Coast geography was taken from Marco Polo's description of Eastern Asia. Japan, here named "Zipangri," is placed just off the west coast of North America. Decorative elements adorning maps during the age of exploration reflected Old World assumptions regarding the nature of New World inhabitants. An engraver's ornamentation choice often determined the public's notion of other peoples. Cannibalistic South Americans are depicted here in the area of Brazil; just beneath this cartouche is an area labeled "Region of Giants" ("Regio Gigantum"). A large ship in the Pacific, usually identified as that of Magellan, bears little resemblance to late fifteenth-century sailing vessels. Magellan's "Victoria" probably had three masts but Munster's picture is of a single-masted type more typical of ships plying Northern European waters during the fourteenth century. The northern coast of South America bears the legend "abundae auro ac margaritis" (abundant gold and pearls.) The isthmus of North Carolina, the result of Verrazano's miscomprehension of the Outer Banks of North Carolina, is also depicted on this map.
