Hardcover. Etat : Very good. First. THE ULTIMATE SET OF CANADIAN AMERICANA. Champlain's 1613 account of his first four voyages to New France, and his comprehensive 1632 revision of the account up to 1631, including some of the most important and influential maps of the New World. The 1613 first edition is quite rare, and in exceptional state (with two maps supplied in facsimile). The 1632 revised edition, one of the great treatises on the topography, flora & fauna, people and climate of North America before extensive European settlement, is an exceptionally distinguished copy in a contemporary armorial binding. There can be no greater pair to establish (or to crown) a collection of Americana, Canadiana or Voyages. Please see the listings for the individual copies for full descriptions, or inquire to be sent a complete collation and description of both copies.
