Français : Carte de la Guyane françoise et l'isle de Cayenne Cette carte de la Guyane française et l'île de Cayenne est due à Jacques Bellin (1703-72), un cartographe prolifique affecté au ministère de la Marine française. Elle reflète le soin apporté aux relevés topographiques des baies, des mers et des ports qui caractérisait la cartographie navale française du XVIIIe siècle. En plus d'informations détaillées sur la côte, la carte de Bellin inclut des notes sur l'intérieur de cette partie de l'Amérique du sud, dont l'essentiel restait encore largement inconnu des Européens.
