Partie de la Carte du Captaine Cluny Auteur d'un ovourage anglios intitulé American Traveller
Visual Materials
Kashnor notes, " From Norway and Spitzbergen to the Behring Straits; an accurate and very interesting map, showing the exact point at which North American exploration had arrived at the time. Cluny was one of the early Western Pioneers. The American Traveller was published anonymously in 1769. It gave more information about the West than any other work up to the time, and showed that the possibilities of the interior were very great, especially in the countries of the Hudson's Bay Company." Kashnor is only partly correct. Cluny wrote that he was sure no passage existed and argued that having the Hudson's Bay Company as sole exploiter of the area was costing the British government a great loss in taxes. The passage shown as the Nord Ouest Passage on this map was an invention of the publisher of this work, not Cluny. Note this is the only map of Robert de Vaugondy's series of ten with this wide format. Upper right corner- Suppl Carte 10. MS note: 438 (on backing). Prime meridian: Ferro. Projection: Mercator.
