Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Interesting map of the Strait of Magellan in South America. Bellin was appointed hydrographer (chief cartographer) to the French navy upon the creation of France's hydrographic office, the Dépôt des cartes et plans de la Marine. As befits a maritime chart, all place names and general information is coastal, and there is no real attempt to engrave anything of note inland of the coastal areas. Over a 50-year career, he produced a large number of maps and charts. The accuracy of Bellin's charts ensured that they were in use for many years. Size: 250 x 410 mm. Copper engraving. Very good condition. Seller Inventory # 77823

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Good. Original fold lines. Manuscript pagination in upper right margin. Mended tear along left border. Size 8.5 x 13.5 Inches. This is a beautiful 1753 Bellin map of the Straits of Magellan, South America. It covers the crucial strait located at the southern tip of the South American mainland, just north of Tierra del Fuego. The map extends from Cap des Vierges to Cap de la Victoire, rendering the region in detail, noting the coastlines, capes, harbors, islands and other important topographical features. Since its discovery by the Portuguese circumnavigator Ferdinand Magellin in 1520, this natural channel linked the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans despite the challenge in negotiating its unpredictable winds and currents. Until the construction of the Panama Canal it remained the fastest connection between the two oceans. The map is simply but elegantly engraved, with rhumb lines in the ocean areas; the one indicating north is marked with a fleur de lis. . Below the title, is a notation crediting the details of the map to a Mr. Labat, engineer accompanying Jacques Gouin de Beauchesne's 1699 voyage to the Pacific (the first French trading expedition to that ocean.) A key is included, identifying nine locations marked on the map. Publication History and Census This map was engraved in 1753 for inclusion in La Harpe's Abrégé de l'histoire générale des voyages . The separate map appears on the market from time to time, and in various editions appears in nineteen institutional collections. La Harpe's work is well represented in institutions.
