Spanish map 1541

Tadusaco,

In the las few weeks I have seen over 100 old Maps dealing with Canada. I remember clearly that I saw a Spanish map of 1541 from a spanish Museum somewhere. I remember also there was a specific inscription in Old Spanish just next to the Settlement called Canada: "Many Frenchmen died here of Hunger during winter. Yesterday I could not find it. The new reference you added brings us to a text but I cannot see how to access the map. Do you have this ling^ Do you know in wchich Museum this map is dispalyed^

Spanish Map 1541

I found the map on Spanish Wikipedia. No author is mentionned, this carta is kept by Real Academia de la Historia.

Carta 1541 in Real Academia de la Historia

Hello Tadusco,

As promised I added a paragraph dealing with the spanish 1541 map kept in Real Academia de la Historia. I put nex to the French cartographers paragraph. The point is to show that cartographers contributed to diffusion of the name Canada throughout Europe and the world.

I tried to find your article, but I was not able. In my French books there are some mentions of Cristobal de Haro. I understand he kept King of Spain informed on France's North American projects. It was spying, XVyh Century style!

Thank you! The original document comes from the Archivo General de Indias (Seville). A letter from Cristóbal de Haro to the Emperor (Sep. 28th, 1541).
