Model #37814 Coronelli antique style map

* Vincenzo Coronelli born in Venice in 1650, was a highly regarded Italian cartographer. His construction of two globes for the Duke of Parma earned him an invitation to Paris, where a pair of globes built for King Louis XIV were of such a grand scale that they were constructed with trap doors so craftsmen could enter and work from inside.  As Royal Cartographer, he was granted access to the latest documentation sent from the colonies to the French Academy of Sciences.

** Rene-Robert de LaSalle was a French explorer who sailed to Canada when he was 23 years old. He learned from the Iroquois people of a grate river which led to the sea.  Assuming the river in question flowed into the Gulf of California, the enticing thought of a possible profitable western trade route to China arose. LaSalle led an expedition to the Great Lakes in 1679, and four years later sailed down the Illinois River to the Mississippi River and all the way to the Gulf of Mexico, claiming the entire Mississippi River Basin - what he called the Louisiana Territory - for France.
