Place and date of publication taken from the annotated text accompanying a facsimile edition of: Geographische Beschreibung der Provinz Louisiana ..., Minneapolis, 1983, written by Hildegard Binder Johnson and titled: French Louisiana and the development of the German triangle, p. [1]

This edition differs from a similar one, with identical text, but smaller paper size (37x45cm) that was used as the source for the facsimile edition just mentioned.  The main typographical distinctions between the two editions are: (1) the headline title is printed in a smaller typeface and does not fill out the complete width of the letterpress; (2) there are three spelling variants in the title: S. Lorenz [other ed.: St. Lorenz]; kurzen [other ed.: kurtzen]; ietzo [other ed.: jetzo]; (3) the distribution of the text into lines, paragraphs and columns is different; and (4) a typographical device at the end of the text (verso, third column) is present (3 stars) [lacking in the other edition]
