1757 Bellin Map - Plan de la Ville de Buenos-Ayres J.N. Bellin provided a huge number of maps for L'Abbe Prevost's 'Histoire Generale des Voyages', a 25 volume plus work describing the discoveries, journeys and settlements of seventeenth and early eighteenth century European powers. Many of these maps were issued in Dutch and German as well as French. This map comes from a 1757 Dutch edition of "Histoire..". It is actually a very early city plan of Buenos Aires, nestled on the southern shore of the Rio de la Plata. The town has ten east to west blocks and no more than five deep. It is centrally protected by a fort with a large square behindand all the named buildings are religious (churches, convents, Jesuit houses) except for the hospital and Town Hall. The engraving measures 7" by 11" , has outline hand colouring, two folds (as issued) and is in very good condition. The map is guaranteed to be over 250 years old.
