Description: Antique map titled 'Nieuwe Kaart Van het Westelykste Deel Der Weereld, dienende tot aanwyzing an de Scheepstogten der Nederlanderne Naar West Indie.' Excellent map of America, featuring an unusual northwest coast of America, which includes Martin d'Aguilar's strait which provides for a Northwest Passage via the Great Lakes. The rest of the NW coast is virtually due North, with notations regarding Russian explorations in 1743. California is a Peninsula, with annotations regarding Quivira or Teguaio. Evidence of the claims of the various British and French colonies throughout, especially along the Eastern Seaboard. Overall a very attractive map, with a compass rose. Source unknown, to be determined.
Artists and Engravers: Isaak Tirion, a Dutch publisher in Amsterdam, was born 1705. He produced serveral Atlases and Dutch town plans. The maps mainly based on those of Guillaume de l'Isle. He died in 1765.
