This map shows the Canadian arctic as it was known at the end of the 17th century. A large and decorative chart showing from the west coast of Ireland, Iceland, Greenland and the bays of Arctic America. The abundance of English placenames is a testament to their efforts to find the North West Passage, thus reaching the east without having to pass the French and Spaniards! Published in Mortier's issue of Jaillot's 'Atlas Nouveau', it also appeared in Mortier's 'Neptune Francois' sea-atlas.
