Description

Map of Hudson Bay based on Jacques Nicholas Bellin's map of the area, "Carte des Parties du Nord-Ouest de l'Amerique," engraved by Veremondo Rossi and published by Livorno-based printer Marco Coltellini. Coltellini published Il Gazzettiere americano, the first Italian translation of J. Millar's American Gazetteer, which was published one year earlier in London. Giovanni Tommaso Masi republished the maps from Coltellini's edition in his atlas Atlante Dell'America in 1777.

The map shows the route of Henry Ellis' 1746 expedition across Hudson Bay in search of the Northwest Passage; much of the surrounding land remains "unknown." Fort Churchill, York Factory, and Prince of Wales Fort number among the few settlements mapped.

Partie de la carte du Capitaine Cluny Autur d'un ouvrage anglois intitule American Traveller . . . 1769

This is an interesting map of America and parts of Europe and Asia, based upon a possible voyage by the Captain Cluny. This figure was a legendary sea captain of the Hudson Bay Company, who was thought to have reached as far as 82.5° N during an early voyage in the 1740s. Two marks on the map show the passage of Cluny's ships in the North Atlantic, indicating a shipwreck near Spitsbergen and a stretch of ice-free ocean they discovered far to the north of the archipelago. Text on the map suggests that this work was based on a map in the American Traveller, a tale of sea voyages supposedly by Cluny himself.
