A reasonable portion of the Americas, Europe and Africa are shown with major port cities of the day. The coast of North America is labeled with the colonies Florida, Carolina, Virginie, Pensilvanie, Nouve Angleterre, etc. The known fishing banks of North America are prominently depicted. Being a French map, the Prime Meridian is through Paris. Beatifully hand colored, framed.
