    Bellin's fascinating chart of the "northern parts of the globe between Asia and America" from Prevost d'Exiles' influential collection of travel narratives, Histoire Generale des Voyages. On the right is northeastern Canada from Baffin Bay to the Great Lakes and on the left, northeastern Asia down to the Kamchatka Peninsula. In between are the barely delineated coast of Alaska ("lands seen by the Russians in 1728") and notes on explorations by the Russians, Juan de Fuca, and Admiral Fuente, as well as speculation on the likely position of the Western Sea (Mer de l'Ouest).

    Jacques-Nicolas Bellin(1703-1772) was a French cartographer, hydrographer and geographer. Born in Paris, Bellin was a member of the French intellectual group, the philosophes, a member of the Academie de Marine and of the Royal Society of London. His career spanned over five decades in which he produced a large number of maps for the Dépot des Cartes et Plans de la Marine.
