Description

Printed map. "Par N. Bellin Ingénieur de la Marine 1744". Two visual scales. Described in Kershaw, Early Printed Maps of Canada, Volume III, entries 684 and 685, pp. 3-4: "Published in: Histoire et Description Generale de la Nouvelle France - Tome Permier A Paris, Chez Rolin - M.DCC.XLIV. Pierre-Francois Xavier de Carlevoix." First state has a "35" rotated on its side, engraved outside the left-hand neat-line. Second state has no engraved number. McMaster's copy has been trimmed on the left hand side obscuring the position of the "35" notation which would indicate if this is the first or second state.
