A dozen new Florida maps are in now
THIS JUST IN: We've just received a dozen new Florida maps. Included in the collection is this interesting piece. This print of a 17th century French map depicts Florida as it was known to Europeans, with the lower part shown as islands. This also may be the first time buffalo were represented in European maps. There also is an illustration of Niagara Falls, which had been seen by French explorers as early as 1604. Click on the image to see an enlargement.
