Title A name given to the resource Le Canada, ou Nouvelle France Description An account of the resource Full title of the map is "Le Canada, ou Nouvelle France, la Floride, la Virginie, Pensilvanie, Caroline, Nouvelle Angleterre et Nouvelle Yorck, l'Isle de Terre Neuve, la Louisiane, et le cours de la riviere de Misisipi." The title turns out to be important, because this map's radically foreshortened perspective is there to emphasize French claims in the New World--and to minimize those of the British, as seen via the size of its colonies. The Great Lakes are a central location on this map, just over a decade after the Denonville expedition. Nicolas de Fer was a cartographer better known for his striking graphics than for the accuracy of his maps. In addition to spatial manipulations, he makes a point of plotting French forts, trading posts, and (potential) Native American trading partners. In addition to the map, this item also includes a detail that has been used for an animated gif in the story map "Translations: Hosmer's 'Yonnondio'" Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Fer, Nicolas de (1646-1720) [Cartographer] Loon, Herman van (fl. 1667-1674 ) [Engraver] Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1702 Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Cooper, Ken Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived New York Public Library Digital Collections: http://digitalcollections.nypl.org/items/510d47da-eebf-a3d9-e040-e00a18064a99 Type The nature or genre of the resource Map Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource jpeg, 1.5 MB gif, 782 KB Denonville Great Lakes Map New France
