Description
A fine and extremely unusual map in which we see two contrasting renderings of California (including Baja California), Northern Mexico (as far south as Culiacán), and the entire northwestern part of North America (with a tiny bit of Siberia at upper right.) Includes the Sierra Nevada, San Miguel (San Diego), Mendocino and many other familiar place names, as well as many mythical and forgotten place names. Original color. Printed on fine, thick laid paper with huge margins. 35 x 46 cm. FINE AND BRIGHT, with no defects. One of the earliest examples of comparative cartography.
