Name of Collectible: 1720 Moll, Herman – Map of the North of America
Price: $2,795.04.
Seller: jamesrutter0
Description: “Collectible, Date: 1720 Condition: A Colour: Original Size: 24 x 40 inches Title: “A New Map of the North Parts of America claimed by France under ye names of Louisiana, Mississipi, Canada and New France with ye Adjoyning Territories of England and Spain.”
The map consists of four half-sheets joined together. In the lower left corner, a cartouche surrounds the map’s dedicatory text. The map title appears in a decorative border below the dedication. Moll partially based this map on a 1718 map of the same region by French cartographer Guillaume Delisle: “Carte de la Louisiane et cours du Mississippi.” There are some major differences between the two maps, however, particularly concerning the border between English Carolina and French Louisiana”.

Definitely a very nice Collectible that brought a lot of attention and a great price.
