EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate "Map of New France dedicated to Colbert by Duchesneau, Intendant" created in 1681. Crafted by Jean Baptiste Louis Franquelin, a prominent figure in the 17th century, this engraving is a true masterpiece that offers a glimpse into the historical significance of New France. The map itself is an impressive display of geographical accuracy and attention to detail. It depicts various regions including Canada, Newfoundland, St. Lawrence River, Labrador, North America, Great Lakes, Florida, Gulf of Mexico, Cuba, Hudson Bay and numerous islands scattered throughout. The presence of boats and ships further emphasizes the importance of maritime exploration during this era. One cannot help but be intrigued by the dedication mentioned in the title - Colbert was none other than Jean-Baptiste Colbert himself; an influential minister under King Louis XIV's reign who played a significant role in shaping French colonial policies. This map serves as both a tribute to his patronage and an invaluable resource for understanding the extent of French influence in North America at that time. Preserved within the archives at Service Historique de la Marine in Vincennes, France; this rare piece provides us with insights into early cartography techniques while also shedding light on colonial aspirations during this period. Its inclusion of detailed cartouches adds aesthetic appeal to its already informative nature. Overall, this print invites viewers to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical significance as it captures an important chapter
