1786

Maker: Dunn / Sayer

Antique map of the Western Hemisphere by Samuel Dunn, printed for Robert Sayer, 1786. Includes the new United States. Florida was still under Spanish control. The River of the West is shown, and Quivira, the legendary city of gold, is included. This map has a reasonably good shape of Alaska and the West Coast and indicates Hawaii, or “Owhyhee where Capt. Cook was killed.” Also has New Zealand and part of Africa. Antarctica is largely unknown but there are two notations of sightings of land. Good to very good antique condition with mild image transfer, some tiny spots, and a separation along the center fold that goes slightly into the map. Measures approx. 12 x 17.25 inches to the neatline.
