Carte de la partie de la Cote Nord-Ouest de L'Amerique

Carte de la partie de la Cote Nord-Ouest de L'Amerique reconnue pendant les Etés de 1792, 1793, et 1794… Par Le Capitaine George Vancouver commandant la Decouverte et de Chatham avec le Route de ces deux Batimens: Redigee par le Lieutenant Edward Robers d'apre le Reconnaissances et les Observations.

DESCRIPTION: French copy of Vancouver's nautical chart of West North American coast from Alaska to Mexico. By Blondeau. Elsewhere attributed to Depot de la Marine but that is doubtful. Tracks of Vancouver's vessels, mountain ranges, missions, anchorages and a few soundings are clearly delineated.

Highly detailed (get a magnifier and enjoy) antique chart coverage extends down the coast from Kodiak Island, Alaska though Prince William sound, Port San Francisco and St. Diego California, into Mexico- Baie do Todos Santos, Baie de las Virgines, and ends near a marked anchorage near a mission 'St. Domingo'. California is described as "Nouvelle Albion".
