This map was drawn by Guillaume Sanson, son of the famous Nicolas S., and
embraces the whole American continent. In North-West it extends above Cape Blanco
showing California as an isolated island. The group of islands west of Baffins’s Bay
forms with Greenland one sole continent. Central and South America are particularly
fully treated. There is also an indication of the Falkland-Islands. In some places
slightly stained, otherwise well preserved.
