[AMERIQUE]. Michael MERCATOR (ca 1567-1600). America sive India Nova, ad Magnae Gerardi Mercatoris aui Universalis Imitationem, in Compendium Redacta.... Duisberg (mais probablement Amsterdam : Hondius, vers 1613 ou plus tard). Carte gravée, texte français au verso avec signature I. 38 x 47 cm). Quelques petites taches. Il s'agit de la seule carte connue de Michael Mercator, une vue célèbre des Amériques après les projections de son grand-père, Gerardus, et la carte du monde de 1587 par son père Rumold. Il convient de noter dans la carte la suggestion du passage du Nord-Ouest dans le prolongement du fleuve Saint-Laurent à travers le continent et la présence d'un grand lac intérieur au Canada, mais en réalité aucune représentation des Grands Lacs. Trois cocardes proposent des cartes du golfe du Mexique, d'Haïti et de Cuba. La carte a été publiée pour la première fois dans les éditions latines d'Atlantis Pars Altera avant que les planches ne soient vendues à Jocodus Hondius et republiées avec le texte français (comme ici) dans diverses éditions jusqu'en 1639. Burden 87. Cadre sous verre. Non examinée hors du cadre.
