About This Design

Quebec/Nouvelle-France mediaeval french map Throw Blanket

Quebec/Nouvelle-France mediaeval french map Throw Blanket

This is a map made by the french, showing all the territory north america they've explored. The map shows the french territory extending from New-France (now Quebec and part of Canada) to Louisiana (originally Louisiane) in the United States, to the west of Canada (Alberta, Manitoba). It also partly shows the other empires that were also in america (central and north) at the time. The map dates from the 1600 and a lot of the names are the previous names of cities before the British Empire renamed them to english names. Prince Edward Island was named Ile de St-Jean, etc. There's a LOT of very fun details on the map; for example, animals are drawn, huts, camps and small villages. All the names and territories of the First Nations (aboriginals/indigenous) are also indicated, and sometimes other details about them are written. Finally, there's also a lot of small notes the cartographers added in french on the map. As an example, it is mentioned the Panigoucha own 4 big villages and "that's where the beef/cow come from", and further south, the wild cows are mentioned. The top of the map says: "Map of New France, where can be seen the great rivers of St. Lawrence and the Mississipi, today St. Louis, around which can be found states, countries, nations and people of Florida, Louisiana, Virginia, Marineland (? I suppose, french called it "Marie-Lande" which is phonetically similar), Pensilvania, the New Jersey ("New Jersay"), New York ("New Yorck"), New England, Acandia, Canada, the Inuits (Esquimaux, north), Huron, Iroquois, Illinois, and the big island of Newfoundland (Terre-Neuve). This map was made according to the most recent maps/archives gathered to establish the French Occidental Company." The notes on the left mentions there's many rivers, the 2 main ones being Mississipi discovered by Joliette and the St.Lawrence by Jacques Cartier. Then it mentions the great lakes other other lakes sizes. The graphic on the bottom right mentions Quebec city and has a legend to show the main buildings in the city. NB: It's possible the store auto-translated some french words or names in this description and the automatic translation to french is not always the right one.

I ordered 3 throw rugs for my children for Christmas. Ordering was very easy and arrived very quickly. Over all I was delighted with the quality but thought the throw rug looked more like a floor mat but was still very nice. The kids loved them! Mostly the printing was very good but a small amount of photos had a ‘grainy’ look to them. That could have been the quality of the actually photo.

My blanket looks amazing, it’s exactly how I wanted it. Really happy with the results as it’s for my elderly mum with dementia. Also my original order didn’t arrive and zazzle were straight into it and re- sent out another blanket. Excellent company to deal with, I highly recommend them. Thank you. Excellent quality, the photos were all very clear

Great colours, quality and overall product, The actual blanket is not huge so best for an ornamental blanket rather than one to keep warm. Printing was incredible, it doesnt actually appear to be printed, the design looks like its been woven as the actual blanked which is amazing for the low price point
