Description

Exceptionally rare map of Monterey from Espinosa Y Tello's Relacion del Viage hecho por las Goletas Sutil y Mexicana, en el ano de 1792… In 1790, the King of Spain commissioned Italian Alejandro Malaspina to renew explorations along the Northwest Coast of America in search of the entrance to the NW Passage. With two corvettes in 1791, travelled to Acapulco and then to 60 degrees north to investigate the apocryphal account of Maldonado's 1588 voyage. Along the way, the expedition apparently collected information from other Spanish sources, as the report includes the first printed example of Juan Pantoja Y Arriaga's map of San Diego (other than La Perouse's less than faithful rendition from charts obtained in Manila). The Monterey chart apparently has its origin in the Malaspina expedition, or at least Wagner does not indicate the source was other than the expedition. The map locates the Presidio of Monterrey, the Missions at San Carlos and Santa Cruz and Points Pinos, Cipreses and Carmel, along with Ensendada del Carmelo. One of the earliest maps of Monterrey from original surveys and perhaps the rarest of all 18th Century maps of the Bay. Espinosa Y Tello maps are exeptionally rare in commerce, this being the first appearance of any map from the report that we have encountered in 10 years and noting only one appearance in Jolly since 1983 (Carta Esferica--Waterloo Fine Arts 1990 Catalogue--$1500.00). The complete work is a $20,000.00 set. Wagner NW Coast 790.
