Description
(1). The earliest map (upper right corner) is based upon a manuscript map by Mathieu Neron Pecci, drawn in Florence in 1604. This map also forms the basis of a map popularised in 1770 by Rigobert Bonne.
(2). The second map is Nicholas Sanson's map of California as an Island, based upon his larger map of 1656. This map was probably the single most influential projection of California as an Island.
(3). The third map (lower right) is a portion of Guillaume De L'Isles map of America, published in 1700. While not truly peninsular in nature, it was influential in the shift back toward depicting California as a Peninsula.
(4). The fourth map (upper centre) is a portion of Fra. Eusebio Kino's map, generally credited with being the map which dispelled the California as an Island myth. Issued in 1705, the map is based upon Father Kino's overland expedition from the mainland to the top of the Gulf of Cortez.
(5). The fifth map is one of the most interesting and enduring maps of California and the Baja (left side). Initially issued by the Society of Jesuits in 1767, it was popularised by Isaak Tirion and was perhaps the most interesting of all maps of Baja California in the 2nd half of the 18th Century.
This map was one of ten maps to appear in the Supplement to Diderot's monumental 'Encyclopedia', one of the most influential and widely distributed works of the second half of the 18th Century. Diderot's goal was to examine and display the popular geographical conceptions of several different parts of the world where the knowledge of the region's geography was still largely unknown and evolving.
An essential map for California collectors.
Gilles (1688-1766), Didier (ca. 1723-1786) and Robert de Vaugondy were all map publishers, engravers, and cartographers active in Paris during the mid-18th century. The father and son inherited the important Sanson cartographic stock of plates which was the base of most of their early production.
The Vaugondy family were known for the detail and accuracy of their maps.

Color Key
We offer many maps in their original black and white condition. We do not systematically color-up maps to make them more sellable to the general public or buyer.
Copper engraved or wood block maps are always hand colored. Maps were initially colored for aesthetic reasons and to improve readability. Nowadays, it is becoming a challenge to find maps in their original colors and are therefor more valuable.
We use the following color keys in our catalog:
Original colors; mean that the colors have been applied around the time the map was issued.
Original o/l colors; means the map has only the borders colored at the time of publication.
Colored; If the colors are applied recently or at the end of the 20th century.
