Lot Description
DUVAL, Pierre and  Gérard JOLLAIN. L'Amérique françoise où son Décrites La France nouvelle... Paris, ca 1665. 

Engraved map of the coasts of North and Central America, the west coasts of parts of Europe and Africa, and the Atlantic, sheet 410 x 560 mm. (Short tear to fold, some minor staining.)

Duval and Jollain's undated map draws on Sanson's model of North America. Gérard Jollain and Jacques Honervogt began a publishing partnership in approximately 1654, with Jollain taking control after Honervogt's death ca 1663; based on this, Burden assigns the map a publication date of ca 1665. An example of this map, included in a French composite atlas, was offered for sale by Paulus and Swaen, who trace only four examples of the map: the copy present in the atlas, another copy in private hands, and copies at the New York Public Library and the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris. Burden, The Mapping of North America, 382a.
