Title of the map: "MAPPE-MONDE Divisée en ses quatre Parties 1759" An anonymous copper engraved antique World map, dated 1759, 18th Century, showing a number of the prevailing myths of mid-18th Century cartography. Australia and the north-west coast of America are not yet fully drawn on the map. The nonexistent sea West of North America, the Lahontan river from the west and the weird shape of Alaska are based on the Russian discoveries from before 1750. Hawaii does not year appear. New Zealand is shown in a single coastline and Australia (Nouvelle Holland) is still in an early conjectural shape, with Van Dieman's Land (Tasmania) attached to the mainland) in the south and New Guinea still attached in the north.
