Abstract
- This series of 10 maps was prepared by Vaugondy for the Supplement to Diderot’s Encyclopédie. This seminal map series, exploring the mapping of North American and specifically the Northwest Passage was one of the first studies in comparative cartography. See also Philippe Buache's Considerations Geographiques Et Physiques Sur Les Nouvelles Decouvertes Au Nord de La Grande Mer Appellee Vulgairement La Mer Du Sud, our 11780.000, for an earlier comparative cartography study of the same area.<br />Wagner 637; Wheat 160; Tooley 100; Leighly 177 (Plate XXIV, State 2); UCB.
