Description:

Mallet's map of California is one of the most striking of maps of California as island.

A unique projection, not really following either Sanson or Briggs. Shows a number of place names and an nice charting of the Channel Islands. An essential map to any California as island collection. Maps of California as an island showing less than all of the Continent are rare…this is one of the earliest.

From a German edition of Mallet's remarkable work.  Fine dark impression.
