Description
Scarce map of America, published in Weimar in 1806.
The western part of North America is still relatively unknown, pre-dating the reports of Lewis & Clark and other western explorers.
The map shows a very speculative Northwest Passage with a tentative coastline and an incomplete Alaskan Coastline.
A scarce map -- this is the first example we have seen.
