Additional Details

From Voyage dans l''Amerique Septentrionale. One of the first maps to accurately show Vancouver Island. Though engraved in 1804, Collot''s maps were not printed until 1826. Collot''s maps are rare as a result of the destruction of most of those printed by a bookseller who had purchased them from Collot''s estate. Wheat, TMW 236.
