This is a dramatic 1754 east-oriented wall map of the Americas by Jean Janvier and Sebastian G. Longchamps - better known as Voltaire's valet. The dramatic map includes one of cartography's boldest iterations of the Sea of the West. This map appeared at the outset of the French and Indian War (1754 - 1763) and correspondingly details France's bold claims to much of North America. (more details)
