Contact seller4-star sellerVery good. Neat tack holes in corners well away from printed image, else excellent. Size 19 x 23.5 Inches. This is the 1722 Covens and Mortier issue of Guillaume de L'Isle's groundbreaking map of North America, focusing on Mexico, the Mississippi watershed, and the West Indies. De L'Isle first published this map in 1703, at whic…h point it was the most sophisticated map of the region obtainable: the first map to accurately denote the course of the Mississippi River, the first to accurately place the Great Lakes, and the first appearance on a map of updates from La Salle, Bienville, and D'Iberville. Covens and Mortier Edition The Parisian De l'Isle, having already reissued the map in France, contracted Amsterdam publishers Covens and Mortier to produce this edition, one of the few authorized variants of this often-copied map. This Amsterdam edition was expertly engraved to a new plate by Jan Heeren Stemmen, one of Covens and Mortier's primary engravers. Teguayo The territories assigned Mexico here, of course, extend far to the north (indeed, continuing off the map). The detail includes New Mexico's missions along the Rio Del Norte, including Taos and Santa Fe. Beyond the narrow valley attached to the Rio de Norte, however, the region is only tenuously mapped. The mythical Kingdoms of Gold, Quivara and Teguayo, are noted just under the scale cartouche. The empire of Gran Teguayo appears in the unmapped region to the northwest of Santa Fe. Teguayo was identified as one of the Kingdoms of Gold presumed to be found in the unexplored American west. The name Teguayo first appears in the Benevides Memorial , where it is described as a kingdom of great wealth to rival Quivara, another supposed kingdom just north of Taos. The idea was later popularized in Europe by the nefarious Spaniard and deposed governor of New Mexico, Diego Dionisio de Peñalosa (1621 - 1687), who imagining himself a later day Pizzaro, promoted the Teguayo legend to the royalty of Europe. Originally, Teguayo was said to lie west of the Mississippi and north of the Gulf of Mexico, but for some reason, De L'Isle situates it further to the west. 'Floride Francois' The massive area marked out as 'Floride' here - including as it does the Mississippi watershed, on up to the New France and the Great Lakes - represents Floride Francois , the French claims dating to the mid-16th century that extended as far north along the Eastern Seaboard as modern day South Carolina. Publication History and Census The basis for this map was published by Guillaume De l'Isle in 1703, thereafter to be widely copied. This authorized edition was engraved by Jan Stemmen in 1722 on behalf of Covens and Mortier to be included in their atlases, and it remained in print for much of the rest of the century. It is well represented in institutional collections. References: OCLC 9978665. Rumsey 4638.096. Wheat, C. I., Mapping of the Transmississippi West, 1540 1861, #84.
