Laurie & Whittle, 1794 A New Map of the Whole Continent of America, Divided into North and South and West Indies wherein are Exactly Described the United States of North America... An impressive, four-sheet map of North and South America, originally drawn by John Gibson in 1763 with a slightly different title. The map went through several revisions; this being the final state. The huge map is filled with incredible detail and is based on D`Anville`s cartography, as well as Spanish explorations on the west coast of North America and the journals of Governor Pownall in New England and Canada. The new United States is shown with its boundary on the Mississippi River. In the west are two possible locations for a River of the West; one with its source at Pike`s Lake, the other further north at Lake Winnipeg. A Chinese colony, Fou Sang is shown in present-day British Columbia. At lower left is an inset map of Hudson and Baffin`s Bay. Above the inset is a large text panel listing of the states and the colonial possessions of the various European powers. The baroque style title cartouche features a beaver, a crocodile, an Indian headdress amid trees, a waterfall and tropical flora. The left and right sheets have been joined creating a northern and southern pair (each 46.8 x 20.3""). 46.8"" W x 40.5"" H An attractive example on sturdy sheets of watermarked paper with narrow top margins, a few misfolds and light toning along one fold. Occasional light soil and edge chips in the blank margins.
Schraembl, Franz Anton 1788 [On 4 Sheets] Generalkarte von Nordamerica samt den Westindischen Inseln This large-scale map of North America includes excellent detail of towns, political boundaries, roads, rivers, mines, Indian villages, and tribal territories. The map is a German-language edition of Emmanuel Bowen and John Gibson`s An Accurate Map of North America Describing and Distinguishing the British, Spanish and French Dominions on this Great Continent , which was first published in 1763 to illustrate the seat of the French and Indian War. Hundreds of settlements and Indian villages are located, with interesting notations referring to native tribes and historical events. A number of roads are shown on the map stretching all the way to New Mexico and Neu Navarra. There are two interesting inset maps. One shows the discoveries of Father Eusebius Kino in the Southwest that proved that California was not an island. The other illustrates the ongoing search for a Northwest Passage, showing Baffin and Hudson Bays with the fictional Lake de Fonte (See de Fonte) reaching nearly to Baffin Bay. The title cartouche also credits Thomas Pownall`s map of the Middle British Colonies, updated from Lewis Evans` map, with valuable geographic knowledge of the Ohio River Valley. The routes of the Spanish treasure galleons are shown throughout the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico. The map is adorned with a rococo cartouche containing distance scales and a legend, and a decorative title cartouche featuring a female figure representing America and two cherubs. Engraved by Johann Stenger. Printed on four sheets, as issued without centerfolds; size varies slightly. Full sheets measure 36 x 25.3"" (bottom two sheets) and 38.5 x 25.3"" (top two sheets). 23"" W x 19.9"" H Nice impressions with slightly faded original outline color and a couple of small, unobtrusive spots. Printed on heavy, watermarked paper with the most generous margins we`ve ever seen.
Gibson, John 1760 A Particular Map, to Illustrate Gen. Amherst`s Expedition, to Montreal; with a Plan of the Town & Draught of ye Island After the fall of Quebec, Montreal was the sole remaining French power center in Canada. The British General, Jeffery Amherst, occupied Fort Ticonderoga and Crown Point in the fall of 1759. He began a three-pronged offensive converging on Montreal the following spring. When Vaudreuil de Cavagnal surrendered on September 8, 1760, this ended the last major campaign of the French and Indian War. This map shows the St. Lawrence River from Quebec City to the Great Falls of Niagara 140 ft and east to include the Hudson River, Albany, and Lake Champlain. Details include several forts, Drowned Lands, and Indian tribes. An inset at lower right shows the environs of Montreal Island. At upper left, a plan of the walled city of Montreal portrays individual buildings and has an index of 16 important features including the Arsenal, hospital, the Governor`s Palace, and the gardens of Mons Beausou and de Quain. 9"" W x 7.2"" H Issued folding with a horizontal extraneous crease running through the middle of the map and minor even toning.
Gibson, John 1762 An Accurate Map of the British Empire in Nth. America as Settled by the Preliminaries in 1762 Covering from Labrador to Florida and west to the Mississippi, this important, historical map details the land settlement that ended the French & Indian War. The map graphically depicts ""The Countries shaded with lines are those formerly claimed or possessed by France and Spain and are now absolutely ceded & guaranteed to Great Britain."" This long and complex war resulted in Britain gaining New France, the eastern Mississippi basin, and Florida. Spain gained New Orleans and retained its Caribbean islands. France also retained its Caribbean islands and Havana. The preliminary treaty illustrated by this map was ratified the following year in the Treaty of Paris. The colonies of Virginia and Carolina are now shown with their western boundaries to the Mississippi River. The Six Nations` boundary extends west to occupy the Great Lakes region. A large inset ""Chart of the Entrance of the Mississippi"" provides a detailed view of the delta region and the vicinity of New Orleans. 9.7"" W x 8.3"" H Issued folding on watermarked paper with light overall toning, a binding trim at bottom left, and a small damp stain at top right that just enters the neatline.
Gibson, John 1763 A Map of the New Governments, of East & West Florida This map was published in November 1763 just a few weeks after the British acquisition of Florida at the conclusion of the French and Indian War. The region was divided into two British provinces, East and West Florida. The division was along the Apalachicola River, the boundary line for the Royal Proclamation of 1763 that extended from the Ohio River to Florida along the watershed of the Appalachian and Allegheny Mountains. The Proclamation was designed to reduce confrontation between Indians and colonists by outlawing English settlement west of the line. East Florida encompassed primarily the Florida peninsula; West Florida included the Gulf Coast region from the Apalachicola River to the Mississippi River south of 31° of latitude. The map locates many settlements, swamps, and rivers. Southern Florida is split by many waterways, giving the appearance that it`s made up of numerous small islands. A large inset, Plan of the Harbour and Settlement of Pensacola, provides good detail of the Bay of Sta. Maria Galres (now Pensacola Bay) complete with soundings and a compass rose. 9.9"" W x 7.6"" H Issued folding, now pressed flat, with some faint soiling.
Morden, Robert 1695 Norfolk ""This map of Norfolk is an early county map to show the local roads. The county is divided into """"Hundreds"""" (sometimes abbreviated as Hund on the map), an old English term for an area that would support a hundred families. It locates towns, buildings, forests, rivers, bridges and parks, which are noted by fenced areas. There is a decorative cartouche and three different distance scales. Sold by Abel Swale, Awnsham & John Churchil. Engraved by John Sturt. Morden was one of the first English cartographers to show longitudes measured from the meridian of St. Paul`s Cathedral (shown in degrees at the bottom of the map) and time in minutes measure locally from the sun (shown at the top). The roads on his maps are based on Ogilby`s earlier survey. The Britannia was first published by historian William Camden (1551-1623) in 1586. After the publication of the final edition of Britannia in 1637, the work was not published again until 1695 when Gibson revised and translated the text from the original Latin and included fifty maps, mostly of the English counties, prepared by Robert Morden, replacing the outdated maps of Christopher Saxton."" 23"" W x 14.7"" H A clean, bright example with a tiny tear entering the top border that has been professionally repaired. Issued folding, now pressed and partially trimmed to neatlines at left, top and right.
