Description
This is Johann Theodore De Bry s 1613 edition of Hessel Gerritz chart of the North Atlantic and the Canadian Maritimes, based on the reports of Henry Hudson s fourth, final voyage. Predated only by Gerritsz much rarer 1612 issue, this is the first map of Hudson Bay and the surrounding region, and remained the best chart of the northern regions of Canada for decades. The chart reaches from the British Isles to the western shore of James Bay, extending from 50° - 70° N.
