| Beautiful World Map by noted French cartographer, Dezauche. This map is quite large at 18" x 26" and nicely matted and framed in a custom gold-leaf frame which is much larger. The map displays the United States (only established a few years before the map) and explorer Capt Cook's tracts through the pacific. A search of dealer and auction records reflect a selling price of a similar map by Martayan Lan of $2500 for the map alone! It was at the time of this maps printing that the pacific northwest began to be accurately reflected in cartography. Up until this time, there were fanciful representations of what became Alaska and Canada. This map is based on another map by DeLisle and Bauche. Full coloring, with ornate sun-god motif above with elaborate cartouche below. A great piece to hang in the den or office! | |
