Lenman, Bruce P.
- Abstract
The article discusses an atlas possessed by the Huntington Library in San Marino, California. The author states that the atlas is cataloged as Huntington Library Rare Book 109496 and is a complete atlas of America. The author explains that the atlas contains printed and manuscript maps and charts from Dutch, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and English sources. The author states that evidence suggests the atlas is a French collection assembled by someone with access to Royal Library (Belgium) material and a great interest in the operations of the navy of French King Louis XIV in American waters.
