Comparison of Baker and Janvier Europe Maps

Click on the map to change between the two images. The original map is the 1802 Baker map Clicking will change to the 1764 Janvier map.

Some repeated inaccuracies to look for are:

• The overly elongated sea of Azov (northeast part of Black Sea)
• The exaggerated coastline detail of the "heel" of the Italian peninsula
• The exaggerated coastline detail North Africa

Some differences between the two:

• Kolguev/Kolguyev island in the Barents sea. Present in the 1802 Baker map but missing in the earlier 1764 Janvier map.
• 0° Longitude is set on Greenwich in the 1802 Baker map but the Janvier map (apparently) uses Ferro Island in the Canaries.
