description
A well printed, finely coloured map, giving the stretch from C. San Sebastien up to Montery, and the territory of the Nochis Indian tribe, in greatest detail. The left hand side of the map is a cross- section of the Californian peninsula giving the heights. Jean-Francois, Vandermaelen built a spacious geographical Institute in 1829, in which he installed a map-drawing section, a library and a museum. He published one of the most remarkable world atlases ever made: a world atlas with ca.400 maps on a uniform scale of ca. 1:1,6 million. This work, which appeared in 1827, was ahead of its time.
