Copper Engraving, uncolored by Bellin, Nicolaus, published 1753 by N. Bellin, Paris. Image size: 208 by 273mm (8 by 10 inches). By France's official Royal Hydrographer — among the most important cartographic records of 18th-century North America. Jacques-Nicolas Bellin (1703–1772) was one of the most important French cartographers of the 18th century. In 1721, at just 18 years of age, he was appointed Hydrographer to the French Navy, and in 1741 became the first Ingénieur de la Marine at the Dépôt des Cartes et Plans de la Marine — effectively France's official cartographer for 50 years. He prepared maps for major works including the Abbé Prévost's Histoire générale des voyages (1746–1759) and published the monumental Hydrographie française (1756–1765) containing 115 large coastal charts. Bellin was remarkable for his scholarly rigor: he always cited his sources and contributed over 1,400 articles on geography to Diderot's Encyclopédie. Today he is considered the most copied French cartographer of his century, and his maps are prized by collectors for their accuracy, elegant engraving, and historical importance. This very detailed antique map shows the Hudson Bay Area. The beautiful cartouche is in the upper left corner. In excellent condition.
