Description

Rare early map of America, the second earliest map of America published in Paris to show California as an island, after Pierre Mariette's rare re-issue of the Danckerts Wall Map of America.

The map Pre-dates the earliest of the Sanson maps, relying upon a modified version of Briggs.

Like Sanson, Briet was born in Abbeville and became a Jesuit at age 18. His Parallela Geographiae was both a modern and classical geographical work. As the title indicates, the map divides the coastlines between the spheres of influence. It is noteworthy that Briet claims the Chesapeake and everything to the North for France, ignoring the English claims to New England. Unusual projection for South America. One of the rarest of the obtainable early maps of California as an island.

Reference
McLaughlin 10; Burden 286 (the work is sufficiently rare that Burden omits the second map of America in this work).

[Mexico and Central America with Baja California inset, from Generalkarte von Nord America samt den Westindischen Inseln Versasst von Herrn. Pownall . . . MDCCLXXXVIII]

This is the lower left sheet of Fran Anton Schraembl's 1788 wall map of North America, offering a detailed depiction of Mexico and Central America, with a distinctive inset of Kino's expedition to Baja California. The inset, titled "P.Eusebius Franz Kino aus der G.J.entdeckte zwischen dem 1608 und 1701J.dass Californien eine Halbinsel sey," is a nod to Eusebio Kino's revelation between 1698 and 1701 that California was not an island, but a peninsula.
