Description
Engraved map, 61 x 48.5, Paris, 1722. Briggs names with some of the corrections made by Blaeu. The Mediterranean Sea of California has disappeared. Delisle retained Cabrillo's B. de Pinos and introduced a few, The I. Ste Anne, The B. de St. Martin, and the B. de la Madelaine, from other maps. It seems likely that he had read the account of the Vizcaino expedition in Torquemada, as he corrected one of the Briggs names, the B. de las Arenas to B. de Balenas and inserted the Entree decouverte par Martin d'Aguilar. On the Sonora coast the names are much the same as those on his 1700 map with a few additions from Kino's map and other sources in Sonora. Hereafter known as Delisle type No. 2. Re-issued by Buache under a privilege of April 30, 1745, in his Atlas, and later by Dezauche. Re-issued and corrected by Buache in 1763.
