Large Map of Russian Discoveries in Siberia, Alaska & the Bering Strait, 1784
Located in Langweer, NL
1784 Russian Discoveries in Siberia, Alaska & the Bering Strait - Gerhard Friedrich Muller
"Nouvelle Carte des Decouvertes Faites par des Vaisseaux Russiens Aux Cotes Inconnues de L'Amerique Septentrionale avec Les Pais Adiacents" is a seminal map by Gerhard Friedrich Muller, showcasing Russian discoveries in Siberia, Alaska, and the Bering Strait region. Originally published in 1754, this map served as a direct counter to Guillaume de L'Isle's speculative "fantasy" map of the same area, which prominently featured the fictitious Mer de l'Ouest (Sea of the West).
This edition, published in 1784 by the Imperial Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg, reflects the substantial geographic knowledge gained through Russian explorations, particularly the voyages of Vitus Bering. It accurately depicts the northern Pacific coasts, focusing on Siberia, the Aleutian Islands, and the Alaskan coast. The hand-coloring remains vibrant, emphasizing key geographic details, and a richly decorated rococo cartouche adorns the upper right, indicating the map's origins.
This map is a significant artifact, illustrating the progression of cartographic accuracy and the influence of Russian expeditions in shaping the early knowledge of the North Pacific and Arctic regions.
The 1784 edition of Gerhard Friedrich Muller's map features the routes of key Russian voyages that explored the North Pacific, specifically those related to the exploration of Siberia, Alaska, and the Bering Strait. These include:
1. Vitus Bering's Voyages (1728 and 1741) - The map shows routes of Vitus Bering, a Danish explorer in the Russian Navy, who led two important expeditions:
- During his first Kamchatka Expedition (1728), Bering navigated through what is now known as the Bering Strait, proving that Siberia and Alaska were separated by a sea.
- His second Kamchatka Expedition (1741) extended further eastward to Alaska. This journey greatly expanded European knowledge of the northern Pacific and confirmed Alaska as part of the North American continent.
2. Aleksei Chirikov's Route (1741) - As part of the second Kamchatka Expedition, Aleksei Chirikov, who was Bering's second-in-command, led a separate ship and reached the Alaskan coast, discovering the southeastern parts of Alaska and providing further detailed knowledge of the area.
3. Russian Navigators in the Aleutian Islands - The map also shows the exploration routes in and around the Aleutian Islands, which were instrumental for Russian fur...

Original 1806 Engraved Map of Asia and Surrounding Regions by John Cary
Located in Langweer, NL
The map titled "A New Map of Asia, From the Latest Authorities" was published in 1806. It is a detailed and comprehensive depiction of the continent of Asia, extending from Europe and the Arabian Peninsula in the west to Japan and the Pacific Islands in the east, and from the Arctic regions in the north to parts of New Holland (Australia) and the Indian Ocean in the south.
The map is finely engraved, with political boundaries delineated using color to distinguish different empires, kingdoms, and colonial possessions of the time. Key geographical features such as mountain ranges, rivers, and major cities are clearly marked. It also includes significant maritime routes and islands across the Indian and Pacific Oceans, reflecting the global trade and exploration activities of the early 19th century.
Notable Features:
- Asia is represented with its vast and diverse regions, including the extensive Russian Empire in the north, the Ottoman Empire in the west, the Qing Dynasty's control over China, and the Mughal Empire's influence in India, which is under increasing British control.
- India is shown with its numerous princely states, many of which are under British influence or control.
- Southeast Asia includes the colonial possessions of European powers, particularly the Dutch East Indies, Spanish Philippines...

Rare Handcolored Map of Isle de Juan Fernandes 'Robinson Crusoe Island', Chili
Located in Langweer, NL
Antique map titled 'Die Insel Iuan Fernandes in der Sudsee (..)'. This map depicts Robinson Crusoe, one of the Juan Fernández Islands.
Robinson Crusoe Island, formerly known as Más a Tierra, is the second largest of the Juan Fernández Islands. From 1704 to 1709, the island was home to the marooned sailor Alexander Selkirk, who at least partially inspired novelist Daniel Defoe's fictional Robinson Crusoe in his 1719 novel, although the novel is explicitly set in the Caribbean.
This was just one of several survival stories from the period of which Defoe would have been aware. To reflect the literary lore associated with the island and attract tourists, the Chilean government renamed the place Robinson Crusoe Island in 1966. This map originates from a German edition of 'Voyage around the World...
