LAURIE & WHITTLE (Late 18th Century), after D'ANVILLE, Jean-Baptiste Bourguignon (1697-1782).A New Map of the Whole Continent of America Divided into North and South and West Indies...Engraved map with hand color; four sheets in two parts. London: Laurie and Whittle, 1794. 21" x 49 1/4" sheet each. Very large, detailed map of North and South America at the close of the 18th century, with good detail in the east and southwest of North America, but the western portions still largely blank; in the northwest, the coast is shown with fair accuracy, but only as far as Queen Charlotte's Isles. California boasts a R. de los Delores flowing westward into Puerto de la Bodega el Cordon, also identified as Sr. Francis Drake's Harbour 1579, and well north of that is Pta. de los Reyes. To the south, R. del Carmel plunges into the sea just north of S. Diego. In the left-hand portion of the southern sheet is a large table giving colonial possessions, and below that a large inset of Baffin's and Hudson's Bays, Greenland, etc.
