Lotter edition of Delisle's L'Amerique Septentionale. This state has a different decorative cartouche with Neptune (on the right) and two men on the left holding an oar and pouring water. This map shows North America as far west a California, but, with area north of 'C. Mendocin' is left blank. There are tracks of several Pacific exploration routes including Drake, and Mendana.
