A very interesting folio sheet containing seven maps inset into panels of French text. The largest map (9 x 5.7"), titled "Carte de la Jamaique Nouvellement reveue..." shows the island in great detail and includes a large inset of the Gulf of Mexico and West Indies. The other maps are of Barbados, New England and New York, Bermuda, Virginia and Carolina, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and New Jersey, and New England, Eastern Canada and Greenland. Together these maps cover all of the regions colonized by the English at the early part of the 18th century.
