The article highlights the most serious factual mistakes and errors in the descriptions of the reproduced maps in the Polish edition of Kevin J. Brown’s A Journey Back in Time Through Maps (Dawne mapy. Podróż w przeszłość, transl. M. Zagrodzki, Warszawa 2019). The author explains in detail the history of creation and facts related to the 16th–18th-century maps such as: Jean Janvier’s Mappe-monde, ou description du globe terrestre (1762), Didier Robert de Vaugondy’s Mappemonde ou description du Globe terrestre (1783), Philippe Buache’s Mappemonde à l’usage de l’instruction (1808), Jodocus Hondius’s Designatio orbis Christiani (1621), Athanasius Kircher’s Tabula geographico-hydrographica (1665), or Johann Baptista Homann’s Accurata Utopiae tabula (after 1724). The evolution of representing the California Peninsula on manuscript and printed maps up to the mid-18th century is briefly discussed.
