Carte Generale des Decouvertes (NORTH AMERICA, SIBERIA, RUSSIA)

Diderot made this map illustrating important discoveries and voyages from Spain and Russia to western North America in 1772. The remarkably well maintained, copper plate engraved map still has crisp, even, hand coloring as issued distinguishing major geographical/political realms. An inset shows islands in the Mer de Tartarie. The discrepancies between todays knowledge of the North American coast and how it was mapped in the 1700’s makes this beautiful and rare map a significant historical document.
