Partie de la carte du Capitaine Cluny Autur d'un ouvrage anglois intitule American Traveller . . . 1769

This is an interesting map of America and parts of Europe and Asia, based upon a possible voyage by the Captain Cluny. This figure was a legendary sea captain of the Hudson Bay Company, who was thought to have reached as far as 82.5° N during an early voyage in the 1740s. Two marks on the map show the passage of Cluny's ships in the North Atlantic, indicating a shipwreck near Spitsbergen and a stretch of ice-free ocean they discovered far to the north of the archipelago. Text on the map suggests that this work was based on a map in the American Traveller, a tale of sea voyages supposedly by Cluny himself.
