Map of Baja California and Mexico - Jesuit Observations and Native Tribes, 1777

About the Item

1777 A. Krevelt Map of Baja California and Northwestern Mexico - Jesuit Observations and Native Tribes A. Krevelt - Carte de la Californie d'Après les observations les plus exactes Pour servir à l'Histoire Générale des Voyages Publication Place / Date: Amsterdam / 1777 This scarce map of Baja California, northwestern Mexico, and southern Arizona was published in 1777 by A. Krevelt, based on previous cartographic works and observations. It shows California correctly as a peninsula, as opposed to the earlier fallacy of California being depicted as an island. The map provides intricate details of settlements, mountain ranges, islands, missions, and native tribes. This map incorporates information from Father Kino’s explorations, which established that California was indeed a peninsula, a correction that took many years to gain widespread acceptance. It also reflects updates made by Jesuit scholars such as Father Consag, informed by Venegas’s "Noticia de la California." Numerous native tribes are identified, including the Cochimi, Apache, Pericu, and Yuma. The detailed depiction of missions and native settlements offers a significant insight into the geography and peoples of the region during the 18th century. This example of the map appeared in a Dutch edition of Bellin's Histoire Générale (Tom XXII).

Important and Scarce Antique Map of Asia from Jesuit Sources, C.1713

Located in Langweer, NL

Antique map titled 'L'Asie selon les nouvelles observations de Messrs de l'Academie des Sciences etc'. The main focus of this important and scarce map of Asia is the delineation of the northeast part of the continent from Jesuit sources. The northeast coast is severely truncated with the discoveries of Nicolas Witsen shown, and the partial coastlines of Jesso and Compagnies Land are depicted to the north of Japan. Inset in the North Pacific is a map of that same region based on the information from Father Martino Martini. It shows Jesso connected to the mainland with a narrow strait between it and a huge Compagnies Land. An inset below, taken from Father Ferdinand Verbiest, illustrates the road between Peking and Kirin and Nincrita. Father Verbiest's world map of 1674, which he compiled for the Chinese, subsequently led to the Jesuits obtaining a commission to make a comprehensive topographical...
