Guillaume De L'Isle Philippe Buache Large Antique French Map of the Americas 1800
Important map of Guillaume de L'Isle corrected by Philippe Buache and edited by Dezauche in 1800 ,after the conclusion of the American revolutionary war and the treaty of Paris Dezauche updated the new frontier from the 1703 original first De L'Isle drawing .This map is full of interesting historical fact , one is the addition of captain Cook discovery and the final removal of the mythical " northern passage " which was supposed to connect the Atlantic to the Pacific .Overall a fascinating map to study.The King’s name is removed from the title ( cartouche )and De l’Isle and Buache are referred to as First Geographers to the Academy of Science, rather than the King since we are now in the consulate's Napoleon era .Soon the US will purchase Louisiana and most of the south American country start their own revolution. It would make a great set framed on a wall .
