John Pinkerton: Western Hemisphere
Title: Western Hemisphere Map Maker: John Pinkerton
Description: Striking hemispheric map of the Western Hemisphere. Includes tracks of the various 18th Century Explorers in the Western Pacific (Cook, Vancouver, La Perouse, etc.), along with excellent detail. The NW Coast of America is still largely conjectural. The Cartography of the West is based upon Humboldt, pre-dating Lewis & Clark's information. Several fanciful mountain ranges appear, as does a lake surrounded by Mountains, with no name. Interesting treatment of Alaska.
