The EXTREMELY RARE FIRST STATE with the ‘Rue des Canettes’ imprint. It is separately published before De L’Isle began issuing regular atlases. This is the true first state before the addition of ‘Harwich’, it was the third state before the imprint was altered. It ‘fully reflects the high standard of his work … the map is a fine example of polished engraving, restrained decoration and pleasing balance.’ Shirley, R.W. (BI 1650-1750) Delisle 1, state 1.
