America . An uncommon miniature map of the Americas based on the 1606 map of America by Jodocus Hondius senior, but with the addition of the recent discovery of Hudson Bay. This small map marks the first appearance of Hudson Bay on a continental map, named here as Fretum Hudsonium. North America is shown with a large westward bulge, and the continent is filled with place names. The western coast has more names than the eastern coast, including Anian, Quivira, Tolm, Chuchuco and many others. Virginia, Florida, Chesepiook and St. Augustine are the only names on the East Coast. South America features the fictitious lake on the Equator, with the city of Manoa above, and the southern tip of the continent is nearly joined with the large, mythical southern continent of Terra Australis Incognita. New Guinea is shown attached to this large continent, and a portion of Japan and Asia appear above. The map is graced with an elaborate strapwork cartouche that incorporates the distance scale, and a whiskered sea monster swims off the coast of South America. Latin title page on verso.See also lot 775 for Philip Burden`s excellent reference work on the mapping of North America, which discusses this map.

Mappa Geographica Regionem Mexicanam et Floridam Terrasque Adjacentes, ut et Anteriores Americae Insulas... This is Mathias Seutter`s decorative and beautifully engraved version of Delisle`s important map of 1703 (Carte du Mexique et de la Floride). It provides a view of North America from the Great Lakes through the West Indies. The British colonies are confined east of the Appalachian Mountains, France controls the Mississippi valley and Florida, and Spain possesses Mexico. New Mexico is finely described with many native tribes and pueblos noted, including Acoma, Santa Clara, Isleta and more. While geographically nearly identical to Delisle`s chart, this map is very ornate; the lower left corner is filled with a huge sea battle and the upper left contains a pretty scale of miles cartouche. In the Atlantic are four inset plans of important trade centers in the Americas: Panama, Havana, Cartagena and Vera Cruz. Engraved by Tobias Conrad Lotter Georg Matthias Seutter served an apprenticeship to J. B. Homan prior to setting up his own map publishing business in Augsburg. Many of his maps have a strong resemblance to Homann`s maps. A fine impression with light soiling. There are a few tears that enter about 1"" into map at bottom, as well as a small chip along centerfold at bottom, that have been professionally repaired, with a minor amount of border expertly replaced in facsimile. 22.8"" W x 18.9"" H . Seutter, Matthias . 1730

Carte Reduite de l`Ocean Septentrional Compris Entre l`Asie et l`Amerique Suivant les Decouvertes qui ont ete Faites par les Russes... This captivating large-scale chart depicts the North Pacific Ocean from Japan and Russia to North America. Although the focus of the map is the discoveries of Captains Bering and Chirikof around Alaska and the Pacific Northwest, the map includes extensive information in North America, extending to Baffin Bay, Hudson Bay, and Lake Erie in the east and to Point Conception, California, and Fort Assumption along the Mississippi River (in present-day Tennessee) in the south. There are numerous notes of discoveries throughout the map, including a notation west of the Hudson Bay explaining that despite English reports of Admiral de Fuente`s explorations, his discoveries could not pass ""critical examination"" and that the author had always regarded them as ""fantastical.""The cartography of the lake and river systems in North America is fascinating. Bellin omits the Sea of the West that appeared on his 1755 map of Canada and the US, but includes a dotted line denoting the River of the West connecting to several rivers and lakes before reaching Hudson Bay. Just to the south is another dotted-line river extending east, but trailing off before connecting with the Missouri River. The Mississippi River connects to Lac Rouge and also reaches Hudson Bay through several rivers and lakes, creating a water route to the Gulf of Mexico.The tracks and discoveries of Captains Bering and Chirikof are depicted, with Alaska shown in a similar ""turtle shape"" as seen on earlier maps by German professor Gerhard Friedrich Muller. The Gulf of Alaska is here named Mer de l`Ouest du Canada, one of the few maps to use this term. In Asia, Siberia is fairly well defined based on charts by Russian navigators, while Japan is presented in a rudimentary shape with Hokkaido entirely missing.This is the first state. A rare and fascinating addition to any collection of the Pacific Northwest.See also lot 773 for Kenneth Kershaw`s excellent reference work on the mapping of Canada, which discusses this map. A nice impression on watermarked paper with light soiling and archival repairs to several long separations along the centerfold. There are additional archival repairs to a tear that enters 2"" into image at bottom, another 2"" tear near the center of the map, and a hole along the centerfold that is 1/4"" wide by 1"" tall, with minor loss of text. 33.3"" W x 21.9"" H . Bellin, Jacques Nicolas . 1766

Lot 121
A Plan of Quebec . This striking plan of Quebec City was published in Universal Magazine just four months before the city was sieged by the British during the French and Indian War, in the lead-up to the Battle of the Plains of Abraham. The map illustrates why Quebec was such a challenging city to take, showing the shallow waters of the eastern shore, its numerous cliffs, and its extensive fortifications in great detail. Its palace, teaching hospital, seminary, Jesuit college, and citadel also appear. An inset depicts the Battle of Quebec, when the British, under the command of Sir William Phips, attempted to take the city in 1690. As a direct result of this battle, the French strengthened their fortifications so that in the future the city would be able to defend itself better against a large-scale attack. A compass rose incorrectly orients the north to the left; the north is actually oriented to the upper right. A dark impression, issued folding, with faint offsetting from an opposing page of text. 9.2"" W x 7.1"" H . Hinton, John . 1759
Lot 122
A Plan of the City of Quebec . This is an uncommon plan of Quebec that contains a very decorative title cartouche with trees, ships in the harbor and a man planting the French flag. There is excellent detail of street layout with a legend in the lower left locating the more important buildings and places of the city. The protective fortifications and walls are well shown. Distance scale in the lower margin is in feet. This map is virtually identical to Andrews` edition but lacks the date in the cartouche and the engraver`s attribution, and hatching has been added to the buildings and the waterline is emphasized with additional printing.See also lot 773 for Kenneth Kershaw`s excellent reference work on the mapping of Canada, which discusses this map. Light toning and soiling along the edges of the sheet, just passing the neatline at top. 9.5"" W x 6.8"" H . Weld, Isaac . 1798
Lot 128
Carte de la Nouvelle France, ou se voit le cours des Grandes Rivieres de S. Laurens & de Mississipi, Aujour d`hui S. LouisÂ… . A striking and informative map derived from Nicholas de Fer`s important four-sheet map of 1718. It describes the French possessions in North America in the early 18th century. Louisiana and the Mississippi valley are based on Delisle`s manuscript map of 1701, while the geography of New England and eastern Canada originates with Franquelin. Inset at top left is a large-scale depiction of the Mississippi Delta and Mobile Bay, based on the expedition of Pierre Le Moyne d`Iberville. A large architectural style cartouche at right encloses both a view and plan of Quebec. The map is filled with minutely engraved wildlife, scenes of Indians hunting, Indian villages and notations. The oceans are embellished with numerous ships, canoes and sea monsters. It is very similar to Chatelain`s map of the same title, but this has a more elaborate Quebec inset cartouche and a simpler border for the inset map of the Gulf Coast. De Fer`s large map was issued to promote the recently established Compagnie Françoise Occident, which was formed to fund the debt of Louix XIV and offered inducements to encourage settlement in Louisiana. This smaller version is found in atlases published by Ottens and other Dutch composite atlases. There is no engraver or publisher`s imprint.See also lot 773 for Kenneth Kershaw`s excellent reference work on the mapping of Canada, which discusses this map. Original color with a few minor spots in the image. The sheet has been backed in tissue to reinforce and repair several cracks due to the oxidation of the green pigment. 21.7"" W x 19.6"" H . Fer, Nicolas de . 1719

The United States & the Relative Position of the Oregon & Texas . This is an updated version of this interesting map, first published in 1845 when the Oregon District was in dispute between the U.S. and Britain, and Texas had just been annexed. The map shows several previous and proposed western boundaries; Line Proposed by the Convention of the 20th October 1818 (the present boundary between the U.S. and Canada), Line of the Treaty of Florida 1819, Line Proposed to Mexico by the United Sates in 1835, and Boundary of 1848 (pre-Gadsden boundary between U.S. and Mexico). There are several large territories in the west including Utah and New Mexico having been formed from the eastern part of Upper California. Nebraska Territory occupies the Great Plains and Minnesota Territory extends to the Missouri River. The Oregon Route is shown crossing the plains and the only other transcontinental road shown is unnamed and apparently follows the route of the Stevens exploration for the Pacific Railroad. An inset of Great Britain on the same scale is in the Atlantic. A nice impression with some light scattered foxing mostly along the left and right borders. 21.5"" W x 14.8"" H . Wyld, James . 1853

The map extends well into the west, here labeled both the Great Desert and Missouri Territory, as distinct from the state of Missouri that is also shown.
