Description
Rare state 4, dated 1786, of this large world map, featuring Cook's Third Voyage and "Mer de l'Ouest" for the first time has been removed*. Figurs the island of Owhyhée (Sandwich islands) where Capt. Cook was killed on 24 February 1779.
Mappemonde ou carte générale du globe terrestre dessinée suivant les règles de la projection des cartes réduites / Robert de Vaugondy, géographe ; corrigée et augmentée des découvertes du Cap. Cook et de ses trois voyages par C.F. Delamarche géogr. Successeur de Vaugondy. Engraved by E. Dussy. Title cartouche drawn and engraved by Arrivet.
Delamarche, a student of De Vaugondy, reissued several of his teacher Robert de Vaugondy's maps, updating them to reflect the latest discoveries.
George Vancouver entered the history of exploration by joining James Cook's second and third expeditions. On his third expedition, Cook had been looking for the possible existence of the Northwest Passage (a sea route through or around North America), and in 1791, Vancouver was sent out to complete this search.
The "Sea of the West" present on the Vaugondy's first edition (1760) has disappeared.
The Asia/North America connection is erased in this state, and the polar regions are shown free of any land mass.
The sea between Korea and Japan is called "Mer de Corée" (Sea of Korea) in Asia.
Shows a totally redefined shape of Australia with numerous location names and New Zealand has been fully delineated with numerous place names, after Cook's third track.
Surprisingly, Didier Robert De Vaugondy included a Mer de l'Ouest on this map as he had violently disagreed with Buache's and J. N. De l'Isle's concepts regarding their geographical concepts of the northwest coast of North America. Pedley describes the acrimonious correspondence and debate in regard to this matter (p. 78). This world map is also striking for its absence of an Antarctic land mass. Cartouche marked, "Arrivet inv. & sculp." Also noted, "gravé par E. Dussy."
For Pedley, this map has four states. There may be a fifth (see below).
State 1: Dated 1760. Artic land mass has a connection to North America.
State 2: Dated 1775. "Censeur Royal" added to title.
State 3: Dated 1778, "Chez Fortin Ingr."
State 4: c. 1786 ("Carte corrigée, augmentée … en 1786.") Not observed. Published in Paris by Delamarche (par C.F. Delamarche. Gravé par E. Dussy.) As the map was not observed, Pedley could not state if the Mer de l'Ouest persists on this last state. Also noted, "A Paris : chez le Cit. Delamarche, géographe, rue du Foin Saint-Jacques au Collége de Mtre Gervais, 1786."
State 5: A map by this title and author, dated 1804, Delamarche, "corrigée et augmentée des découvertes du Cap. Cook … de celles de la Perouse en 1801; de Vancouver, de Mackensie en 1802 … Par Delamarche … Gravé par E. Dussy." (McGuirk).
