Nouvelle Carte Des Decouvertes Faites Par Des Vaisseaux Russiens Aux Cotes Inconnues De L'Amerique Septentrionale Avec les Pais Adjacents....
Based of of Muller's map of 1754, this edition by Santini shows the evolving understanding of geography to the North American shores. Shows the purported routes of the Russian explorers Vitus Bering and Aleksi Cherikov, including stops along asiatic coast of Russia. While prior to an understanding for Alaska, it does show a string of islands extending toward Kamchatka that could be construed as the Aleutians.
Condition is good with some soiling and discoloration of the entire sheet, but a strong engraving. Image size is approximately 18.25 x 25.25 (inches)
