This map was one of a 10 map series for the Supplement to Diderot's "Encyclopédie, ou dictionnaire raisonné des sciences, des arts et des métiers" published in 1777. From Rumsey, "This series of 10 maps was prepared by Vaugondy for the Supplement to Diderot's Encyclopédie. This seminal map series, exploring the mapping of North American and specifically the Northwest Passage was one of the first studies in comparative cartography. Philippe Buache's Considerations Geographiques Et Physiques Sur Les Nouvelles Decouvertes Au Nord de La Grande Mer Appellee Vulgairement La Mer Du Sud, published an earlier comparative cartography study of the same area.
The maps show the Northeast passage from Norway and Spitsberg Island to the Strait of Anian (Bering Strait). The focus of the map is Asiatic Russia and the far east. And it also identifies the mythical lands of Anian and Quivira Regnums. The Anian and Quivira myths relating to Marco Polo and the Spanish Conquistadors Seven Cities of Chibola.
