Map or Atlas
Hemisphere Occidental ou du Nouveau Monde: Publié sous les Auspices de Monseigneur Louis Philippe, duc d'Orléans, Premier Prince du Sang
| This map shows the western hemisphere. Much of the north-west coast of North America is left blank, but the rest of the map lists the names of rivers, cities, regions and montains. Unlike many of his contemporaries, d'Anville used decoration and annotation sparingly if at all as this map demonstrates. A note near the islands off the coast of Alaska and north-western Canada reads "discoveries made by the Russian for about 20 years." |
