This is an extremely rare example of Philippe Buache's 1753 Exposé des Découvertes au Nord de la Grande Mer, the essential maps published to support the astonishing geographical theories of Philippe Buache and Joseph Nicolas De l'Isle, presented in August 1752 to the Paris Academie des Sciences. It was then the most complete cartographical defense of Nicolas De l'Isle's 'exposé' of Russian cartographic advances, along with Buache's synthesis of several mappings of the Pacific Northwest, revealing compelling (if ultimately false) evidence of a viable Northwest Passage. These maps were later included in the 1753-1755 Considérations Géographiques, 'the magnum opus of the Delisle-Buache theory of the layout of lands in the North Pacific space,' (Lada-Mocarski, 1969) appearing there in their second states. These six sheets are all first state examples, indicating that the Exposé enjoyed an earlier publication, spurred perhaps by the novelty of Buache and De l'Isle's arguments and the urgency with which the two geographers wished to assuage and rebut critics of their presentation to the Academie.

This is a beautiful example of George Vancouver's seminal 1799 map of the Hawaiian Islands, considered the largest, most important, and most beautiful map of Hawaii to appear in the 18th century. George Vancouver first sighted Hawaii on January 18, 1778, as a midshipman on the HMS Discovery, consort ship to Captain James Cook's HMS Resolution, becoming one of the first Europeans to see the idyllic island group. Despite Cook's having been killed by angry Hawaiian natives, Vancouver formed a good opinion of the both the archipelago and the Hawaiian people. Fourteen years later and captain of his own ship, George Vancouver chose the Hawaiian Islands as a winter base while exploring the Northwest Coast of America in search of the elusive Northwest Passage. During his three seasonal visits to the Hawaiian Islands, Vancouver and his Lieutenant Joseph Baker completed this, the first complete map of the archipelago. His route, which zigzags around and between the islands, is carefully noted and includes visits in 1792, 1793, and 1794. (more details)

A spectacular and massive 1849 James Imray nautical chart or maritime map of the northern Pacific. Roughly centered on Hawaii, this sprawling chart covers from Hainan and Borneo eastwards to Columbia and Panama, and from the Behring Strait to the Moluccas and the Galapagos Islands (the Equator). The chart is rendered on a Mercator Projection with latitude measured from Greenwich, England. Like most nautical charts, the cartographer offers very little inland detail, but a wealth of maritime data. This includes the identification of various ports and harbors, coastal topography, shoals and other undersea dangers, and countless depth soundings in fathoms. Additionally, the cartographer has noted aspects of various islands that may have been of importance to the mariner, for example Christmas Island has 'Plenty of Turtle, no fresh Water.'
