BMC 45--Le Nouveau Continent Figure dans la Mappemonde de Juan de la Cosa en 1500.

This 1834 atlas was issued as part of Humboldt and Bonpland’s Voyage aux régions équinoxiales du Nouveau Continent fait en 1799, 1800, 1801, 1802, 1803 et 1804 (Paris, 1808-1834), which was published in over thirty volumes over several decades. Included in the atlas is this first printing of a manuscript map made by Spanish conquistador, cartographer, and explorer Juan de la Cosa (ca. 1460-1509), who sailed with the first three voyages of Columbus and was the owner of the Santa María. This chart (XXXIII) incorporates lands discovered in America up to 1500 during expeditions by Spanish, Portuguese, and English expeditions to America. Juan de la Cosa’s mappa mundi is believed to be the earliest extant map showing any part of the continent of North America.

BMC 09--America Septentrionalis [1641]

This map of North America shows California as an island. It is richly embellished with a variety of animals throughout the interior, with sailing ships and sea monsters in the oceans. The map is a careful compilation from various sources and represents the current state of cartographic knowledge at that time. There is a single "Lac des Iroguois" in the Great Lakes region. A few place names from John Smith's 1616 map appear in "Nova Anglia." The title cartouche features several Native Americans, and the imprint cartouche features two mermaids. Depicts North America, Central America, and northern part of South America.
