Covers the whole North America as well as parts of Europe and South America. This is a 1797 reissue of Bowen 1747 map of the same name. Wheatley seems to have stolen the map and updated it solely by scratching out Bowen's name from the title cartouche. Nonetheless, this map is cartographically interesting with much to recommend it. Shows North America in Colonial times with a misshapen Florida and California. Lists the Apache Indians and the "Supposed Strait of Annian". Anian is a term derived from a John Donne poem, "Anyan if I go west by the North-West passage." However, it was interpreted as the Bering Strait by cartographers, successfully transitioning it from the realms of poetry to cartography. Anian presupposed the existence of a Northwest Passage and, as such, was entirely mythical, through the lands that are now Alaska long bore that name. Further south still we find Quivira, one of the legendary northern American Kingdoms of Gold. Much of Modern day Canada is labeled "Parts Undiscovered". Includes the Fishing Banks off Newfoundland and offers fairly accurate details of the Caribbean. Prepared by Wheatley for D. Fenning's 1797 issue of A New and Easy Guide to the use of Globes; and the Rudiments of Geography. our item will look exactly like the product photos in this listing, including any white or textured borders.Everything is printed on easy-to-frame standard sizes, and we never crop or distort images.
