Bonne, Rigobert 1781 Carte Generale de l`Amerique Septentrionale Great map of North America displaying some of the most intriguing cartographic mis-mapping of the late eighteenth century. The most apparent deviation is the huge Mer de l` Ouest, complete with several fictitious islands and the fabled wealthy city of Quivira on its southern shore. This sea is connected to the Pacific by the Entre of Jean de Fuca and the Entre de Martin d` Aguilar. In the middle of Canada is a gigantic Grande Eau from which flows the mythical R. de los Reyes (a remnant of the Northwest Passage theories). Also striking is the treatment of Alaska, shown as a vast group of islands, the most prominent of which is named Alaschka. Longitude is measured from Paris on lower scale and from I`Isle de Fer on upper. With seven distance scales. 12.5"" W x 8.3"" H There are a few minor spots in the image, else very good.

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.

SDUK Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, 1843 North America Detailed and finely engraved map that portrays an Independent Texas, with Mexico controlling Nueva California. The boundary between Canada and the United States is left unengraved, leaving the ownership of Oregon Territory (here labeled Columbia) unknown, which is unusual for a British map. Filled with well-developed topography, the map names numerous forts, trading posts, Indian tribes and locates L. Youla roughly near the Great Salt Lake with the American Fur Depot on its eastern shore. The R. Buenaventura extends to the Pacific from two branches, one originating from a large swamp in the Great Basin. The course of the Snake River is fairly accurate, but the Colorado River originates too far north and rushes to the Sea of Cortez in a straight line. Locates the 3 buttes in present-day Idaho -- important landmarks on the Oregon Trail. Lake Michigan retains its erroneous elongated shape. Distance scales outside of border give English Miles and Spanish Leagues. Engraved by J. & C. Walker and published by Chapman & Hall. 12"" W x 15"" H Original outline color with pleasant even-age toning.

Morden, Robert 1695 Norfolk ""This map of Norfolk is an early county map to show the local roads.

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.

Blaeu, Johannes 1655 Suchuen, Imperii Sinarum Provincia Sexta The second landmark in the European mapping of China was the appearance of the Novus Atlas Sinensis in 1655. It was compiled by Father Martino Martini, an Italian Jesuit and produced by the most prominent Dutch cartographer of the time, Johannes Blaeu. Father Martini compiled the work based on Chinese sources between 1643 and 1650, and it greatly advanced European knowledge of the region including the astronomical positions of many cities and topographical features. It remained the standard geographical work on that country until the publication in 1737 of D`Anville`s Atlas de la Chine. This map of the Suchen province is decorated with two particularly graphic cartouches.

This map introduces a new depiction of the rivers south of these Ptolemaic lakes. The Zambeze River appears above the Zambere and Rio de Spiritu Santo, all of which flow into the Indian Ocean. A large section of South America is shown and two St. Helena islands appear - a common error in maps from this period. Six distance scales are presented on a drape-style cartouche. The very large and decorative title cartouche includes a tumult of figures, cornucopias, an elephant, a crocodile, a lion and an ostrich under the coat of arms of the Dauphin. Two sheets joined, as issued.

This is the second state, dated 1685. On two sheets, joined. 34.9"" W x 21.8"" H A fine impression on watermarked paper with a crease adjacent to joint and another crease in the Indian Ocean that has been professionally pressed and reinforced.
