Carribean/Florida/America, anno 1740, Seutter Matthäus "Mappa Geographica Regionem Mexicanam et Floridam. Terrasque adjacentes, ut et Anteriores Americae Insulas, Cursius itidem et Reditus Navigantium versus flumen Missispi et alias Colonias " Matthias Seutter This is Mathias Seutter's decorative and beautifully engraved version of Delisle's important map of 1703 (Carte du Mexique et de la Floride). It provides a view of North America from the Great Lakes through the West Indies. The British colonies are confined east of the Appalachian Mountains, France controls the Mississippi valley and Florida, and Spain possesses Mexico; political divisions as dictated by the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713. New Mexico is finely described with many native tribes and pueblos noted, including Acoma, Santa Clara, Isleta and more. While geographically nearly identical to Delisle's chart, this map is very ornate with the lower left corner filled with a huge sea battle and the Atlantic filled with four inset plans of Panama, Havana, Cartagena and Vera Cruz. Size of the leaf: 53x62 cm., contemporary colours, only little brownish, printed on thick paper, no cracs or tears.
