Genuine Antique Map

1755

Maker: Bellin / Homann Heirs

Antique map of the Great Lakes, first published by Bellin and reissued by Homann Heirs, 1755. This map clearly demonstrates how important rivers and waterways were for early exploration of North America. Includes forts, missions, villages, and some eastern cities. The label Checagou appears on the map near the location of Chicago. Though Bellin made every attempt to present verified information, the phantom islands found in Lake Superior would persist on maps into the early 19th century. The French gave considerably more respect and attention to the lands of the Native American tribes than other European cartographers of the period, noting the locations of the Iroquois, Eries, Miamis, Nipissings, and more. Good antique condition with some water stains in the upper corners and at bottom center, some other minor stains in the margins and a hole in the upper margin that was repaired. Measures approx. 16.5 x 21 inches to the neatline.
