Scarce 1756 MAP OF PARAGUAY by JACQUES NICOLAS BELLIN ~ JESUIT MISSIONARIES

Description

Original J.N. Bellin produced map of 1756 taken from the second volume of Pierre Francois Xavier De
Charlevoix's
"Histoire Du
Paraguay." Complete title of map: "Carte du Paraguay et des Pays voisins : sur les
Memoires
des Espagnoles
et des Portugais et en Particulier Ceux des RR. PP. de la Compagnie de Jesus/Par
M.B. Ing. de la Marine 1756."
Information for the map was from accounts of Jesuit Missionaries. Size of sheet is approx. 15-1/4 x 15-1/2 inches. As you can see from the scans, the worms made multiple worm holes. With folds; as issued originally. Map is still very attractive and very frameable.
You will also receive the original
title page
from the book it came from.
Incidently, this map is a bit larger and a bit scarcer than the
similar
Bellin map found in the Abbe Prevost's "General History of the Voyages."
