Montreal – Hochelaga by Ramusio<\/h2>\n

Montreal, the first printed plan of a town in North America.\u00a0Jacques Cartier, the great French explorer, visited the village of Hochelaga on the island of Montreal in 1535. The village was near a mountain the explorer named Mount Royal or Monte Real. His account was published in the third volume of Ramusio’s\u00a0Delle navigationi et viaggi<\/em>\u00a0in 1556.<\/p>\n

The map, which was drawn by Gastaldi, includes many of the things described by Cartier. The mythical large welcome is depicted (bottom of the view) in the clasping of hands by a Frenchman (presumably Cartier) and a native chief (maybe of the local Iroquois Indians), and the advantage of two-story fortifications is demonstrated. The lodges within the fort are exceedingly symmetrical, but with each family unit indicated by a fire, they were probably intended to indicate that they were both single family and multiple family or extended family dwellings. It is not clear who the Hochelagans were, although most likely either Huron or Iriquois. The village was gone by the time Champlain arrived.<\/p>\n

The uncommon first edition, which can be quickly identified from the second edition by the shape of the tree near the top extreme right<\/p>\n

Giovanni Battista Ramusio (1485-1557) was an Italian geographer who worked within the Venetian Empire. His father had been a magistrate and he himself served as a civil servant to Venice. He served throughout Europe, allowing him to build up a network of informants and a collection of travel materials. He compiled this information into his enduring masterpiece,\u00a0Navigationi et Viaggi<\/em>, in 1555 (first volume) and 1556 (third volume).<\/p>\n

Second edition<\/h2>\n

The second edition has easily distinguishable changes compared to the first edition:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • there is weeping\u00a0 willow tree in the upper right corner;<\/li>\n
  • the letter ‘F’ corresponding to the key’s map is missing on the map;<\/li>\n
  • the opacity of the smoke from the fire by the entrance of the stockade;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    For the third and final edition of 1606 the same blocks were used. However, by then all the woodblocks used for printing were worm-infested. so that small worm-shaped blank areas become visible on the map.<\/p>\n
