Carte basée sur la carte prototype de Johannes de Laet. J. de Laet était directeur de la Compagnie des Indes Néerlandaises. Texte en français. - In the 1636 edition of the "Appendix", Johannes Janssonius inserted this important and influential map of the eastern seaboard from C. of Feare (Cape Look out) to Nova Scotia, based on Johannes de Laet's prototype map. De Laet was a director of the Dutch West India Company, which controlled the Dutch penetration of the Americas. It is one of the earliest attempts on a Dutch map to show the Great Lakes in any form. Janssonius shows an unnamed lake (probably Lake Champlain), a "Lac de Yroquois" (Ontario) and further west a "Grand Lac", which Tooley holds to be Lake Superior. First state, with the heart shaped cartouche. With French text on verso. - Burden, America 247. A first state
