1749 Authentic Map "Carte du Nouveau Continent" Histoire Naturelle $195 - $195 - (Nantucket, MA)
What a super find! This is an authentic map done in 1749 of the continents of North and South America.This was drawn by Robert de Vaugondy,Senior, son of the Geographer to the King. This measures 8x10" and was found folded up as part of a series of 9 volumes entitled Histoire Naturelle, Generale et particuliere published in 1749. This was Carte 2e page 206. I doubt you will find an authentic map from the mid 1700s in great condition at close to my price anywhere.Maps done in the 1700s usually cost over $1,000 but I am selling this for only $195, price reduced $85 on 3/4. ready for framing. This collection belonged to the Earl of Eglintoune and has his identity paper on each volume.I am divesting of my treasures along with the remaining inventory of antiques and fine jewelry store which I started in 1974 when I also bought 109 Orange Street and established The Stumble Inne, becoming the youngest innkeeper in the country. I retired from retail in 2015 and now it is time to clear out the treasures gathered over four decades.
