John Ross (1777-1856) a British naval officer and explorer, undertook a second Arctic voyage in 1829-33 aboard the steam-assisted paddle vessel Victory, pursuing the Northwest Passage after his disputed 1818 findings. Entering Prince Regent Inlet, Ross wintered at Felix Harbour on the Boothia Peninsula, where his nephew James Clark Ross made the major geographical discovery of the North Magnetic Pole in 1831. Ice pressure trapped Victory for multiple seasons and forced a prolonged retreat by boat and sled to Lancaster Sound, where the party was eventually rescued by a whaling ship in 1833; despite the loss of the vessel, the expedition produced valuable magnetic and cartographic data and rehabilitated Ross's standing within the British scientific and naval community.

Very good. Original platemarks visible. Blank on verso. Size 5.5 x 3.5 Inches. This is a scarce 1754 map of Scandinavia and the Northeast Passage. It covers from Svalbard (Spizberga) south as far as the Ukraine and from Denmark eastward to the White Sea and Russia. The Northeast Passage, much like America's Northwest Passage, was a long sought after sea route through the Arctic that would save European merchantman the expense of rounding Africa in order to access the trade riches of East Asia. This map deals primarily with Scandinavia detailing the Northeast Passage from Norway and Iceland westward. Knowledge of this area was, at the time, speculative at best and this is reflected in the map. The map shows a misshapen representation of Svalbard, while Nova Zembla (N. Zembla) is identified, but not mapped. Names major cities, rivers and territories across Scandinavia and parts of Europe. This map was originally prepared in French by Abbot M. Pluche and translated into Castilian Spanish. Engraved by Jose Andrade for publication in Volume VII, Part 4 of D. Gabriel Ramirez's Espectaculo de la Naturaleza, O Conversaciones a Cerca de Las Particularidades de la Historia Natural .…

Very good condition. Original centerfold as issued. Original wide clean margins. Platemark visible. Blank on verso. Size 12 x 15 Inches. This is the Vaugondy map of Siberia, Kamchatka and the northeastern extremes of the Asian continent. The map is the third of the ten which Vaugondy supplied for Diderot's Encyclopédie . This seminal map series, exploring the mapping of North America, Asia, and specifically the Northwest and Northeast Passages, was one of the first studies in comparative cartography. As the map's title suggests, this one was intended to clarify the articles in the Encyclopédie that pertained to European efforts to discover a viable northeast passage to the East Indies. The Northeast Passage, much like America's Northwest Passage, was a long sought after sea route through the Arctic that would save European merchantman the expense of rounding Africa in order to access the trade riches of East Asia. This is a comparative map; the main map shows what was at that time the state of the art cartography of the region, largely derived from J. N. De l'Isle and Philippe Buache. It notes the location of Peking (Beijing) and a relatively accurate depiction of the Korean Peninsula. Japan is shown, with Nagasaki, Osaka and Iedo (Tokyo) labeled. Interesting features include an insular Iesso north of Japan, separated from the mainland by a 'Strait of Tessoy' roughly corresponding to the Strait of Tartary. Thus Iesso here can be understood as an early depiction of Sakahlin Island; the Kuril Islands are marked and named as well. Part of the northwest coast of North America is shown, separated from Asia by a strait in which appears the island of Puchochotski, here spelled Puchochotsks. The Mysterious Island of Puchochotski This is a crescent shaped island shown here in the strait between Asia and America. It was mapped on only a few obscure Russian manuscripts in the second decade of the 18th century, and was probably derived from the discoveries of Petr Popov, who was sent from Anadyrsk to the Chukchi Peninsula in 1711 to reconnoiter and negotiate with the Chukchi Tribes. Popov returned with indigenous reports of a large island one day's voyage east of the Peninsula - without question representing Chukchi knowledge of the Behring Strait and Alaska - marking this as one of the earliest published maps to illustrate Alaska based upon experiential knowledge. Echoes of Strahlenberg Both of the inset maps shown here are ultimately derived from the work of the Swedish officer, linguist, cartographer and hard-luck-case Philipp Johann von Strahlenberg, whose Russian captivity resulted in the earliest accurate mapping of Siberia and Russian Tartary. Inset No. I is credited to the map of the Tatar Empire appearing in the Histoire gene?alogique des Tatars issued by Leyden publisher Kallewier in 1726: both the map and the genealogical history were in fact plagiarized from Strahlenberg's work, stolen in 1715. Inset No. II is copied from the 1725 map of Nuremberg mapmaker J.B. Homann, whose source for his cartography is traced to the 1718 map which Strahlenberg produced to replace the work stolen in 1715. (Indeed, this and Homann's map represent our only glimpse of Strahlenberg's 1718 map, which is also lost.) The Chukchi Peninsula contrasting sharply in each of these three maps is the depiction of the Chuchki Peninsula, variously spelled 'Tchutski,' 'Tzchalatzki,' and 'Tzuktschi.' This first shows up in Strahlenberg's lost 1715 map (as shown in inset No. I) reappears in a revised form in his lost 1718 map (as shown in inset No. II.) The main map retains the peninsula, in still another form adopted by De l'Isle. Publication History and Census This map is part of the 10 map series prepared by Vaugondy for the Supplement to Diderot's Encyclopédie , of which this is plate 3. We are aware of two states of this map: a second includes the page number 162. A fully re-engraved plate dated 1779 with the imprint of Livorno engraver Spadaccini is als.…

Excellent. Original platemark visible, with generous margins. An unusually sharp, bold strike. Some faint offsetting, else fine. Size 12.25 x 15 Inches. A map of the Northeast Passage, the northeast coasts of Asia, and the American Northwest. The Northeast Passage, much like America's Northwest Passage, was a long sought after sea route through the Arctic that would save European merchantman the expense of rounding Africa in order to access the trade riches of East Asia. This map deals primarily with Asiatic Russia, detailing the Northeast Passage from Norway and Iceland westward as far as Alaska (Anian), Kamchatka, Hokkaido (Yesso), and Japan. Knowledge of this area was, at the time, speculative at best and this is reflected here in the depictions of many unknown islands, misshapen representations of Kamchatka, Japan, Hokkaido (Yesso), and Alaska. Notes Peking (Beijing), Nanking (Nanjing), Corea (Korea), Jedo (Tokyo), and Nangasaki (Nagasaki). Inset Maps The four inset maps of America depicted in the lower left are of special interest. All four loosely reference Wytfliet's seminal 1597 atlas. The upper left inset (I), depicts the northwest coast of America from the Bay of California to a conjectural Alaska, a misshapen Japan, and a mysterious 'I. de Plata' (Island of Silver). Depicts the mythical city of Quivira on the Alaskan coast. This map was based upon the California sheet of Wytfliet's atlas. Inset (II), also drawn from the Wytfliet California, shows the Bay of California and Nova Granada. Plate (III) depicts the Conibas-Zubgara region. This region, which appeared first in Mercator's 1569 atlas, has been loosely interpreted, as either as the Northwest Passage, the Hudson Bay, or the first map of the Great Lakes. Plate IV shows what is almost certainly Alaska, labeled Anian Regnum. Anian Here is a real cartographic curiosity, where myth becomes fact, which again becomes myth. Anian is a term used in John Donne poem, 'Anyan if I go west by the North-West passage.' In was interpreted as a kid of Bering Strait by some early 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, despite any resemblance to modern-day Alaska.

Excellent. Bold, sharp strike with generous clean margins. Platemark visible. Original folds, some creasing, else fine. Size 11.5 x 14 Inches. This is the 1772 Robert de Vaugondy map of Siberia, Kamchatka, and the northeastern extremes of Asia. The map is the third of ten maps Robert de Vaugondy supplied for Diderot's Encyclopédie . This seminal map series, exploring the mapping of North America, Asia, and specifically the Northwest and Northeast Passages, was one of the first studies in comparative cartography.

Very good. Margin reinstated at insertion point, else excellent. Size 11.5 x 14 Inches. This is Robert de Vaugondy's 1772 map of the northwestern parts of North America and the northeastern extremes of Asia, issued in the supplement to Diderot's groundbreaking Encyclopédie . The map summarizes a blend of new discoveries and wild speculations regarding the coastlines of the North Pacific and the possibilities of a navigable Northwest Passage. De Fonte In particular, this map was dedicated to presenting an imaginary passage between the Pacific and the Canadian Maritimes, attributed to the fictional Admiral Bartholomew De Fonte. The purported seventeenth-century voyages of this Spanish explorer appeared first in a short-lived 1706 English publication entitled 'Memoirs of the Curious.' In it, De Fonte was said to be a Spanish Admiral who, sailing up the Pacific coast in the seventeenth century, discovered a series of gigantic lakes, seas, and rivers heading eastward towards the Hudson Bay. Supposedly, upon one of these great inland lakes, he met with a ship from Boston that claimed to have come through a Northwestern Passage. It is a testament to the excitement surrounding the De Fonte geography that two maps of the ten produced by Vaugondy for Diderot were dedicated to it. As fabulous as the De Fonte narrative might seem, it was eagerly adopted by geographers of the day: Joseph-Nicholas de L'Isle and Philippe Buache would include the De Fonte narrative in their own speculations of the Pacific Northwest (in part in support of their equally fabulous Sea of the West). English mapmaking giant Thomas Jefferys adopted the De Fonte narrative wholesale - including it with his map depicting Müller's peninsula, an important precursor to the present work. In accord with De Fonte's suggestions, this map displays the strait of Juan de Fuca continuing inland past the large lakes of Velasco, Belle, and De Fonte to communicate with Baffin Bay and Hudson Bay. There are also a series of rivers and waterways connecting the lakes themselves to an outlet in the Arctic. Based upon Russian reports, Vaugondy renames the 'Straits of Anian' the 'Detroit de Bering (Bering Strait),' paying homage to the great Russian navigator. Anian itself has been moved southward nearer to the Strait of Juan de Fuca. It first appears on 16th-century maps of Gastaldi and was rapidly adopted by the cartographers of the Low Countries. It should be noted that at the time Anian was conceived, geographers had no concrete evidence whatsoever that Asia and America were separate landmasses and that its resemblance to the actual Bering Strait would be entirely fortuitous. The proposed existence of Anian presupposed the existence of a Northwest Passage and, as such, was entirely mythical, though the lands that are now Alaska long bore that name. Further south still, we find Quivira, one of the legendary Kingdoms of Gold. Nearer to Russia, the Aleutian Islands have been consolidated into a large peninsular landmass extending eastward towards Asia. In the extreme north, between 80 and 60 degrees of latitude, is an archipelago, presumably discovered by Japanese sailors marooned in Kamchatka and purportedly inhabited entirely by pygmies.
