This chart of Hudson Bay and Labrador depicts the coastal features and includes the forts of Rupert, Monsoni, St. Germain, and Bourbon. Inland, detail is limited to rivers and a few places names. Two notations identify the discoveries of Middleton in 1742. A simple title cartouche incorporates two distance scales. Engraver's imprint, Desbruslins Sculpsit, at lower right. An uncommon issue that pre-dates numerous Hudson Bay maps issued later by Bellin.
