Soft cover. 1st Edition. Very good. Right and left margins extended. Minor wormhole infill in northern Florida. Laid on archival tissue to stabilize a few old edge tears and seam splits. Size 28.5 x 39.75 Inches. An important c. 1789 - 1794 nautical map of the West Indies, Florida, the Bahamas, and the Gulf of Mexico littoral by… Osgood Carleton and John Norman. This is the second edition of John Norman's first published nautical chart, representing one of the first instances of post-Revolutionary American commercial chart making, predating the publication of the Clark Pilot by several months. A Closer Look Coverage extends from the Gulf of Mexico littoral to the Gulf of Panama, embracing Florida, all of the West Indies, including the Greater and Lesser Antilles, the Bahamas, the Yucatan, Central America, and the northern parts of South America. There are extensive and novel soundings north of the Yucatan and around Florida, particularly along the western coast of the peninsula. Although drawn, engraved, and sold by John and William Norman, the chart features a printed certification by Osgood Carleton, a well-known Boston-based expert on navigation. Historical Context The map is derived from a similar chart of the same name published in the 1780s in London by Sayer and Bennet. Although European sea charts were the norm throughout the Revolutionary period, the United States was rapidly emerging as an economic, industrial, and seagoing power. As more engravers, papermakers, and printers established themselves in the former British Colonies, demand rose for economical domestically produced charts of the same caliber as European charts. Although Clark has been attributed as the publisher of the first American nautical atlas, it was John Norman, and later his son William Norman, who actually produced the charts and took up the challenge of supplying the American maritime trade. Their work paved the way for other American hydrographers, including Edmund Blunt, to establish their own firms. A Complicated Publication History This map was most likely engraved in 1789 by John Norman at the request of Bartholomew Burges (c. 1740 - 1807). Burges was a maritime lecturer and mathematician who on August 3, 1789, published a subscription proposal for a set of 12 nautical charts in the Boston Gazette . That proposal suggested the set would include a map of the West Indies engraved by John Norman. In his promotion, Burges boldly claimed the charts would be approved by the Boston Marine Society. Affronted, the Marine Society interviewed Burges, but refused to lend its name to the project, determining that 'Burges has produced no recommendation of his character and scientific abilities'. In his response, Burges begged the society to examine the one chart already complete - one engraved by John Norman sometime before August 1789. It remains unclear which chart that was. Burges was again rejected by the Marine Society. Burges turned to Matthew Clark (1748 - 1798). Clark was not a publisher or hydrographer, but as an auctioneer and shipbuilder, had deep connections in the Marine Society. Where Burges's was rejected, Clark received approval. He made his first appeal to the Marine Society in October 1789 and, together with the respected local chartmaker and mathematician Osgood Carleton, presented their case in January 1790. They brought with them several charts, suggesting that Norman must have been hard at work between August, when only one chart was complete, and October, by which time 'several' were ready for presentation. Also around this time, Clark had forced Burges (and possibly Norman) from the project. Clark proceeded to publish the Pilot and separate charts in the winter of 1790. The full complement included 18 charts, offered both separately and as a bound set. Most were engraved by Norman, with added charts by Joseph Seymour. In most, but not all, Burges' name was effaced. Burges himself relocated to New York in the Spring of 1790, where he published a notice to '.

1st Edition. Very good. Full professional restoration Dissected as issued and mounted on fresh linen. Size 32 x 47.5 Inches. Known as 'The Agent's Map', this is a fine example of the first official map of Massachusetts, published in 1801 by Osgood Carleton. The map emerged out of a long and complex struggle to produce a large-sc…ale, accurate, and comprehensive state map - something increasingly important in the heady early days of independence following the American Revolutionary War (1775 - 1783). This expansive map covers all of Massachusetts in considerable detail, giving no attention whatsoever to the neighboring states. While generally ignoring topography, the map offers superb practical detail throughout, noting roads, county borders, schools, meeting houses, courts, milage from Boston, and more. The sole mountain illustrated is the Hoosack Range, near modern-day North Adams. A Long and Complicated History The Massachusetts legislature put out a call for a large-scale state map in 1792. In the subsequent months, the state received several proposals. Nearly 18 months later, in June of 1794, they accepted a proposal put forth by veteran cartographers Osgood Carleton and John Norman. Both Carleton and Norman were known to the Legislature. They traveled in educated circles and had already published an important nautical atlas of great benefit to Massachusetts seamen. They further liked Carleton's proposal that a regional map be produced by each town - at the town's expense - sparing the state the need for immediate cash outlay. Collecting the Surveys While the process of mandating that each town produce its own local survey, at its own expense, became the norm for state mapmaking, in 1794 it was revolutionary. Some towns had already produced detailed surveys, so had no problem submitting them, but most lacked the means and expertise to issue anything comprehensive. Provincetown, for example, submitted a 'plan' consisting of nothing more than an outline of the town with no interior detail. More than 90 other towns simply ignored the legislative mandate and submitted nothing at all. The legislature began assessing tax penalties on non-compliant towns, and all but 17 eventually produced surveys, although many were inaccurate and useless. Presenting the Finished Map Despite these many issues, Carleton and Normal completed the map roughly on schedule, presenting it to a committee established by the Massachusetts Legislature on June 29, 1798. The committee was unimpressed. The engraving, done by Norman, was hastily completed and sloppy, leading to numerous errors. Moreover, attempts to illustrate topography with mountain profiles resulted in a sloppy, cluttered map. The legislature demanded these issues be fixed, It is expected in the Mean time they correct all the Error in said maps, and take out the many accidental strokes in the Plate; and also that they make Margins of the Rivers, Ponds, and Sea Coasts neater, and that the whole Plate be better Polished ( Boston Gazette , Aug. 20, 1798, quoted in Ristow, W., American Maps and Mapmakers , p. 91.). The legislature further appointed the known geographical experts Jedidiah Morse, John Davis, and Samuel Webber as 'Agents of the Commonwealth' (Davis later withdrew) to verify the soon-to-be-revised map. The First Official Map of Massachusetts It took Carleton more than two years to revise the map to his satisfaction. In this time, new surveys arrived from the delinquent towns, and others were ordered or updated. Carleton split with Norman and hired two new engravers, Samuel Hill and Joseph Callender, both well known in Boston for quality work. He also reached out to the artist and line-and-stipple engraver George Graham to produce a striking new vignette cartouche. The final product incorporated the wealth of new information, but also removed all topography (except lakes and rivers), yielding a clean, easy-to-read map rich in detail. The new cartouche was also impressive, featuring rich pasture.

No Binding. Zustand: Please Contact Seller. With the end of the war arrived a new sense of American pride and confidence, and detailed mapping of the states and their cities came into great demand partly for administrative purposes. Osgood Carleton was at the forefront of this trend and with the assistance of the Massachusetts H…istorical Society, lobbied the Massachusetts State Legislature to pass a resolution in 1794 directing each town to prepare an accurate town map. This is the second map of Massachusetts by Carleton. His first was made in 1798, but when the Massachusetts Historical Society examined the engraved plates, they deemed his work to be unsatisfactory. Working from Carleton's design and the information he gathered, the map was re-engraved by Samuel Hill and Joseph Callender and published by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in 1801. This map is now known as the first official map of Massachusetts. Engraving Engraved by Joseph Callender and Samuel HillVignette Drawn by G.
