Title: Rare 1757 Jesuit Map of California and Baja, Dedicated to the King of Spain
This rare and detailed map, titled *Carte de la Californie Levee par la Société des Jésuites*, was produced in 1757 and dedicated to the King of Spain. It is a significant artifact from the Jesuit cartographic tradition, showcasing the geography of California, Baja California, and surrounding territories during the 18th century. The map highlights the missions established by the Jesuits, as well as key geographic features, including the Gulf of California (Sea of Cortez), the Colorado River, and the vast deserts inhabited by the Yumas, Apaches, and Papago tribes.
The map combines artistry and precision, reflecting the Jesuits’ commitment to scientific exploration and missionary work. It provides insights into the extensive network of missions and the relationships between European settlers and indigenous populations. Notable regions such as "Province de Ostimuri" and "Côte de Californie" are depicted, along with topographical details, rivers, mountain ranges, and coastal landmarks. The decorative cartouche adds a touch of elegance, underscoring its dedication to the Spanish monarchy.
The map holds historical value not only as a representation of the Jesuits’ efforts in the Americas but also as a testament to the evolving understanding of California's geography during this period. It is an exceptional piece for collectors interested in early cartography, Jesuit missions, or the history of California.

Antique Globe Gore: Southwestern Europe and West Africa by Vincenzo Coronelli
This exquisite, hand-colored globe gore by Vincenzo Coronelli, one of the most renowned 17th-century cartographers, represents Southwestern Europe and West Africa. A segment of Coronelli's monumental 42-inch terrestrial globe, this gore is a remarkable example of the artistry and geographical knowledge of the late 1600s. Covering France, the Iberian Peninsula, and all of Africa west of a line extending from Algeria to the Bight of Benin, it also includes the Canary Islands and Madeira.
Coronelli’s globe gores are celebrated for their exceptional engraving and accuracy, and this piece is no exception. The coastline of Africa is depicted with remarkable precision for its time, reflecting the latest geographical knowledge of European explorers. In contrast, the interior of Africa—still a mystery to European mapmakers—features mythical elements such as fantastical mountain ranges and exotic fauna. Giraffes, elephants, lions, and mysterious giant birds populate the landscape, offering a glimpse into the imagination and curiosity of the era. One notable detail is the Gambia...
