English: Didier Robert de Vaugondy (1723-1786) was Royal Geographer and Censor in France (Tooley, 541). The Robert de Vaugondy family was descended from the Nicolas Sanson family and had much of his map plates. The family combined his plates with those of Hubert Jaillot’s plates after his death in 1712. Combining the map plates and thoroughly revising the earlier engravings, the family created the “Atlas Universal” (1750-1757) (Moreland and Bannister, 136). Didier’s work includes: “Mexico” (1749), “Maps in Atlas Universal” (1750-1757), “Nouvel Atlas portative” (1784), and “America Septentrionale” (1761). His atlases were later reissued by Delamarche (Tooley, 541). This particular map was first published in a 1780 edition of Didier Robert de Vaugondy’s “Encyclopedie,” earning the mark of “authority and currency” (Portinaro and Knirsch, 284; Philipps, 627, no. 1195). Portinaro and Knirsch note that the map lacks information that was accurate for its publication date as it does not reflect the explorations of Alaska by Captain Cook done between 1776 and 1779. Instead, the map is merely a 1772 revision of an earlier map from 1764, illustrating Alaska’s peninsula as a “chain” of islands (284). The map also shows Quivira along the west coast of North south of Cape Mendocino. Wheat notes that the “R. de Quivira” is shown as flowing into the “R. de los Apostolos” (Wheat, 221, entry 158).
