Champlain, the great French explorer, drew his own maps of his discoveries to create the most accurate and important 17th-century maps of what is now eastern Canada and New England. This monumental 1613 map marks the beginning of the mapping of the Great Lakes and accurately documents the region as far south as Martha's Vineyard. This is an extraordinarily beautiful and endlessly fascinating work of art to live with.

With the approaching 400th aniversary of the Jamestown settlement, this is the perfect gift for anyone with an interest in the early history of America.
