George Vancouver's 1799 view sheet depicting various capes explored by Vancouver and his officers during this historic exploration of the western coast of America. This sheet features nine beautifully rendered views detailing, from top: Tscherikow Island, Alaska (Chirikof Island); Port Chatham, Alaska; Wingham Island, Alaska; Port Alexander, Alaska (Cap Ommaney); Cabo St. Lucas, Mexico (Cap St. Lucas de la Californie); the Mary Islands, Mexico (Islas Marias or Iles Marie); Cabo Corrientes, Mexico (Cap Corientes); Deigo Ramierz Islands, Cape Horn, Chile (Ilot de Diego Ramierez); and Valparaiso, Chile (Sude de Valparaiso, La Pointe Quraumilla). Vancouver and his officers drew these views while traveling northwards to begin their epic 1791-1794 explorations of the Pacific Northwest. This view sheet features some of the earliest nautical shore profiles of the western American coastline ever published.
This particular example of Vancouver's view sheet was issued as plate no. 16 in the highly desirable 1799 French edition of Vancouver's Atlas. The rare and coveted French edition of Vancouver's Atlas is more beautifully produced with better engraving, higher quality paper, and more detail then the 1798 english edition.

What our customers are saying
★★★★★I purchased an historic map, 16x24 inch. It is beautifully printed on heavy stock. The lettering, colors, and details of the map are crisp and easy to read. I am highly satisfied and would certainly purchase from Historic Pictoric again!

★★★★★Ordered the Pan American Midway print to fit a lovely thrift-store gilded frame. I love showing off Buffalo's rich history and this is a pretty entertaining photo from 1901. Prompt shipping. Sturdy packaging.

★★★★★Excellent product. Great fidelity in reproduction of the original. Fine/minute details were sharp, colors were vibrant, and thickness, texture and overall feel and quality of the paper were excellent. Very satisfied with my purchase.
Konrad B.
★★★★★I have purchased six maps from Historic Pictoric. I find the quality to be excellent. Their customers service is also excellent. Outstanding! I called to exchange a few for different sizes and I could not have asked for a better experience.
Aaron C.
★★★★★The original map I ordered lacked some of the detail that I had hoped for, but they responded with several more map possibilities to choose from. Excellent service- a far step beyond what anyone expects from online purchases.
Dan M.
★★★★★I am a owner of 5 maps from Historic Pictoric. From Okinawa, 1945, Europe 1940-1945 battle maps. Now they’re helping me with the battle of Gettysburg. These maps are so much superior to the map on a page in a book. I have framed two of them.
