A important map in the history of Canada from 'Atlas Historique'. It draws on de L'Isle's famous 1703 map of Canada and is accurate for its time. A box of the top left hand side, has French text detailing the history of the area from Jacques Cartier to the time of publication. Around Hudon's bay and Labrador are natives listed as "Christinaux", "Kilistinons", "Eskimaux". At the coast are the names of explorers and the dates of discovery. A common cartografical error is the "Riviere Longue," an imaginary river that was supposed to flow from 'Pays des Gnacsitares' to the Pacific. This originates from French adventurer best-selling travel book "Nouveaux voyages dans l'Amerique septentrionale". Henri Abraham Chatelain (1684-1743) was the son of Zacharie Chatelain. Based in Amsterdam, his best know publication was the seven volume 'Atlas Historique'.
