Ill.: [Decorative cartouche showing indigenous population, missionaries a beaver and goose as well as local flora]. N. Guerard ju. fe.; 21.0 x 18.5
See also Phillips 655 for a 1781 - [1784] atlas in which a 1783 map is found (no. 129)
This map is a very late issue of De L'Isle's 'mother map' which was originally produced in 1703. Because of eighty years of use much of the geographical information, superior when the map was first issued, was by 1783 grossly outdated. Additions and deletions of information on the map have occured but they appear mainly in the areas or the Northeastern United States and Atlantic Canada [eg. Charlottetown, Halifax and Louisbourg all appear on the map; Sable Island has been re-orientated from N-S to E-W]. The North America and the United States is shown as is a legend showing political divisions. The plate itself has had an interesting history. The original engraving was done in 1703.
The original edition was reissued in 1745 by Phillipe Buache then again in 1781 with the altered cartouche "Carte du Canada, qui comprend la partie septentrionale des Etats-Unis d'Amerique ..." (formerly "Carte du Canada ou de la Nouvelle France..."). It seems quite possible that there were other reissues between 1745 and 1783 that, as yet, have not been recorded (See Tooley: Map Collectors' Circle vol. 33). Of the 1783 state (ie. dated 1783) there are in fact two issues recorded. The first has in the cartouche "par Guillaume Del'Isle Premier Géographe du Roi de l'Academie Royale des Science. Revue et Augmentée in 1783"; the imprint reads "Ph. Buache P.G.d. R.d. l'A. R.dS. Gendre de L'Auteur Avec Privilege du Roi' [see G of Adam's list].
The second issue of this 1783 state reads "par Guillaume Del'Isle Premier Géographe de l'Académie des Sciences ... with the imprint "Avec Peivilege" and du Roi erased. As the outer page bears the manuscript number 33, the map is probably from the De L'Isle-Bauche Atlas géographique des quatre parties du monde ... [Le Gear Atlases no. 5993] which has the same map as plate 33.
