Lot Footnotes
Note: Vincenzo Maria Coronelli was an Italian Franciscan friar, cosmographer, cartographer, publisher, and encyclopaedist, who became one of the most celebrated globe and map makers of his era. He produced over one hundred terrestrial and celestial globes, hundreds of maps and large numbers of cartographic publications. He completed the Marly Globes for Louis XIV in 1683, which are considered some of the most magnificent globes ever produced. He founded the first geographical society, the Accademia Cosmografica degli Argonauti in Venice in 1684, which had immense success, enrolling some 200 members from all of Europe by 1693. He published the Atlante Veneto,1691, and the Isolario, 1696-98, and compiled the first encyclopaedia to be arranged alphabetically.
This map of North America, first published in the Atlante Veneto, was considered to be one of Coronelli's finest maps. The most prominent geographical detail is California's appearance as a massive island, this map being one of the best renderings of this misconception. Based on Sanson's 1669 map, with the addition of mountain ranges and place names. "It provided a major leap in the cartography of the day. The whole is aesthetically delightful, providing a perfect balance between the provision of scientific accuracy and beauty'' (Burden 643). McLaughlin 103; Tooley, p. 125 and 306.
