120.09 Carte
Des Nouvelles Decouvertes Au Nord de la Mer Du Sud, Tant a l’Est
de la Siberie et Du Kamtchatka, Qua l’Quest de la Nouvelle
France, c1770, by Paolo Santini, Venice
 |
This map
introduced some of the most influential and fictional
cartographic data concerning the Pacific Northwest. It is
considered a pivotal change in what is now the region that
was described with such features as the Sea of the West.
Santini’s map was taken from Joseph-Nicolas De L’Ile’s and
Philippe Buache’s map of the Northern Pacific Ocean. The
map includes Asia - 1752 and shows the Russian discoveries
and the de forte voyage, both of which were criticized for
incorrectly representing Vitus Bering’s voyage as well as
not showing de Forte’s text when depicting the voyage. The
Sea of the West (De lIsle / Buache) was based on
speculations made by Juan de Fuca during his 1592 voyage of
discovery. The dramatic lay of the map illustrating the
northwest coast of America (mostly based on myth),
nevertheless dominated regional cartography for many decades
until Cook’s voyages. The map is rated Excellent [see our
rating criteria on the Home Page] with no apparent flaws and
a string and dark later color impression. The map measures
approximately (25.3" x 18.5"). $2500. ($10.50

by Arnoldus Montanus, London

beautiful and detailed map of the Southeast United States
shows the French and English claims in the region marked
