1799 George Vancouver Map Cook Inlet Kodiak Island Alaska Antique Nautical Chart

Description: 1799 George Vancouver Map Cook Inlet Kodiak Island Alaska Antique Nautical Chart Striking and highly detailed refined unusual copper engraved large-format George Vancouver's 1799 sea chart depicting Kodiak Island and Cook Inlet, Alaska. Centered on the entrance to Cook Inlet, this map covers from Knik Arm and Turnagain Arm southwards as far as the southernmost tip of Kodiak Island. Offers detailed topography through numerous depth sounds and elevations rendered by profile. Mount St. Augustin and several volcanoes are noted. An inset of Port Chatham, at the southern tip of the Kenai Peninsula, appears in the upper left quadrant. This particular example of Vancouver's map was issued as plate no. 10 in the highly desirable 1799 French edition of Vancouver's Atlas. It was drawn by Lieutenant Edward Roberts and engraved by Blondeau. The rare and coveted French edition of Vancouver's Atlas is more beautifully produced, with better engraving, higher-quality paper, and more detail than the 1798 English edition. This scarce map is a core piece for any serious collection focusing on California, Vancouver, British Columbia, or the Pacific Northwest. 1799 George Vancouver Map Cook Inlet Kodiak Island Alaska Antique Nautical Chart YEAR PUBLISHED: 1799 CARTOGRAPHER/MAPMAKER: George Vancouver (June 22, 1750 - May 10, 1798) PUBLICATION: Vancouver, G., Voyage de decouvertes a l'ocean Pacifique du Nord, et autour du monde: dans lequel la cote nord-ouest de l'Amerique a été soigneusement reconnue et exactement relevée: ordonne par le Roi d'Angleterre, principalement dans la vue de constater s'il existe, a travers le continent de l'Amerique, un passage pour les vaisseaux, de l'ocean Pacifique du Nord a l'ocean Atlantique septentrional: et execute en 1790, 1791, 1792, 1793, 1794 et 1795, (Paris: De l'Imprimerie de la Republique) 1799.
