  Brouckner/Remondini - Carte Generale du Globe Terrestre, Venice, 1761

• Notes:
  This uncommon map is Remondini’s reduction of Isaak Brouckner’s map of the world. It features an extravagant collection of Northwest Passage theories, including one based on the infamous expedition by Admiral Bartholomew de Fonte. In the North Pacific, the routes of the Russian expeditions and the Manilla/Alcapulco galleons are charted. In the South Pacific, the partial coastlines of Australia and New Guinea are shown connected, and both New Zealand and Tasmania are shown as single coastlines.
