California as an island 1738-72 World in spheres miniature hand colored map Brewster Published quarterlyMappe Monde. World in spheres antique map. Issued c. 1738 1772 Paris. Anonymous engraver. A map which was reissued over decades in the 18th century. Charming little 18th century engraved world map with lovely full hand color. Of note for how California is depicted as an island, with no sign of Alaska. Australia is only a partial unknown outline with van Diemens land only hinted at as a partial outline. Same with New Zealand, just a partial outline.
