This unique exploration document, originally intended for presentation to the king of France, was compiled by Samuel de Champlain (1567-1635), founder of New France. One of the great cartographic treasures of America, it provides the first thorough delineation of the New England and Canadian coast from Cape Sable to Cape Cod. It shows Port Royal; Frenchman's Bay; the St. John, St. Croix, Penobscot, and Kennebec Rivers; and many offshore islands--including Mount Desert, which Champlain himself named. The place names and coast line correspond closely to Champlain's narrative in his Voyages, published in 1613
