Zustand: Very Good. [Paris], Dépôt des Cartes et Plans de la Marine, 1861. A large engraved chart (printed surface 635 × 916 mm, sheet size 680 × 998 mm). 'Gravé par Chassant | Ecrit par A. Blanchard'. Vertical centrefold, as issued; some scattered foxing (generally unobtrusive); a few small splits and tears expertly sealed; in very good condition, recently archivally mounted behind Mylar and a window mat. A scarce large French nautical chart of Sydney Harbour, showing the city of Sydney in the late 1850s. The lower portion of the map contains an engraved elevation showing the approach to the harbour from the sea. The chart is number 1920 in the Dépôt de la Marine's published series, and this example is from the first issue. It was reprinted in 1869, with minimal corrections. The chart is based on British Admiralty chart 1069, published in 1859, one of the impressively detailed and accurate nautical charts produced from the surveys of Henry Mangles Denham during his Australian and Pacific voyage in HMS 'Herald' (1852-1861).…

FIRST EDITION. Folding engraved map frontispiece (short closed tear, strengthening repairs to verso), lithograph title with vignette with strengthened fore-margin, 20 lithograph plates, plans and maps (19 folding, one or two with repaired closed tears and two with frayed fore-margins), one lithograph illustration on India paper, hand-coloured folding plate and two folding maps/plans, various printed note slips added throughout; uniformly a little toned, and browned at some of the untrimmed edges; pp. xx, [2], 169, [1]; 26 8vo; untrimmed and partially unopened in modern half navy morocco gilt; small white mark to upper cover. A smart example of Vice Admiral Sir Henry Mangles Denham's richly illustrated guide to sailing from Point Lynas (on the north-east corner of Anglesey) to Liverpool. The work is the result of Denham's appointment by the Admiralty to survey the coasts of Lancashire and Cumberland. It is not only full of navigational detail, but is beautifully produced, with fine views of sections of coastline, various lighthouses and other coastal infrastructure, and detailed maps. This was an area Denham (1800-87) knew well; in the early 1830s he had been appointed by the Admiralty, following a request from the Liverpool Dock Trustees, to survey the Mersey, the silting of which was hampering the success of trade. His proposal for dredging and other innovations made him a pivotal figure in Liverpool's development into a modern terminal port. He went on to conduct major surveys of Australasia and part of the Southwest Pacific, and served as Commander-in-Chief, Pacific Station. To the rear of the work, as called for, is Denham's 'Remarks and Sailing Directions for Approaching and Navigating the Sea-Reach of Wyre up to Port Fleetwood', with its own title page and individual pagination.…

Zustand: Laid down on paper. Lithograph by Allan and Wigley; 500 x 610 mm, profiles and landmarks captioned; in a custom made mount. Rare and detailed coastal profiles of Port Jackson drawn in Sydney by James Glen Wilson and lithographed by the local lithographic studio, Allan and Wigley of 23 Bridge Street. The artist, an Irishman who arrived on the Denham expedition but later chose to settle in Sydney, depicts North and South Heads and the lighthouse, giving detailed illustrations of shipping, bathymetric soundings and a wide record of Sydney buildings. HMS Herald arrived in Sydney in 1853 under the command of Captain Henry Mangles Denham: "the arrival in Sydney on February 19th, 1853 of this scientific officer of long experience was an important event in the progress of the Australian marine surveys. " (Ingleton, Charting A Continent). Denham charted the land masses and suspected shipping hazards in Port Jackson between February and December 1857, with the Admiralty publishing his much better known map "Australia, Port Jackson" in 1859. His close survey of Port Jackson formed a part of the Herald's hydrographic survey throughout the South Pacific which, beginning in 1852, continued to 1861. The Herald also worked in Shark's Bay, Western Australia, the Fijian Islands, New Caledonia and Norfolk Island and was involved in the search for Benjamin Boyd throughout the Pacific, and in the wreck of the Dunbar just off Sydney Heads. Widely celebrated, and knighted for his contribution to hydrographic services, Denham was appointed Commander in Chief of the Pacific Station in 1864. Denham in Western Australia was named for him, and in 1858 his ship was celebrated in Sydney by the publication of a music sheet entitled Herald Waltzes. The profiles are (abbreviated from the captions): The Outer South Head - Light-House bearing West.; Appearance of the Inner South Head when rounding into the Eastern Channel of the Sow and Pigs Bar [and] the new (Eastern) Obelisks.; Inner view of the South Head with Lighthouse.; Elizabeth Bay House in line with Bradley Point.; Craig-end Mill in line with Bradley Point.; St. James's Church its breadth open of Bradley Pt. .…

Sydney Harbour during the Gold Rush Large engraved map, on two sheets joined (618 by 907mm to the neatline, full margins showing the plate mark), with contemporary hand colour to the light-houses. Large scale and detailed chart of Port Jackson, showing the city of Sydney, and all of Sydney Harbour, from about one and a half miles out to sea, as far south as Bondi Beach, as far north as Cabbage Tree Bay, and west to beyond Cockatoo Island, to Parramatta and Ironstone. A coastal view runs along the bottom edge of the map, showing the entrance to the harbor from just beyond the Heads. The directions of the currents, and soundings are given throughout. Published by the Depot de la Marine, based on a British Admiralty survey of 1857, with corrections, probably after Willis' map of 1867. The earliest chart, of Sydney Harbour was published in 1791, based on a survey carried out within a few weeks of first European settlement in January of 1788. The survey by Lieutenants John Hunter and William Bradley, which extended from the Harbour entrance to 'The Flats', now Homebush Bay, took only 9 days to complete. The second survey was completed by John Septimus Roe, the assistant surveyor to hydrographer Phillip Parker King from 1818 to 1822. King had been commissioned to survey the Australian coast based on the findings of Mathew Flinders in his circumnavigation. Although King and Roe conducted most of their survey in the western and north-western coast of Australia, they used Sydney as one of his bases. Roe surveyed Sydney Harbour himself, as far west as The Flats and beyond in 1822, but also borrowed from the discoveries of Hunter and Bradley, and also from Freycinet's survey of 1802. "With the discovery of gold in the 1850s and the need to protect the gold shipments, the Royal Navy began to take a greater interest in New South Wales and in 1859 established a new Australian Station, a naval command, separate from the East Indies Station, responsible for waters around Australia. It was initially under the command of a Commodore but upgraded in 1884 to be commanded by a Rear Admiral. This greater naval involvement may explain the more detailed hydrographic surveys which began from about this time. The 1857 British Admiralty survey was carried out by Hutchison et al (1859). "It was under the direction of a Captain Henry Mangles Denham F.R.S. who had been tasked with surveying parts of the south-west Pacific in HMS Herald. The chart of this survey, engraved in 1859, had the high soundings density one would expect with a modern hydrographic survey and it clearly marks a significant departure from earlier mapping efforts of Sydney Harbour. The area covered was from 1.5 miles seawards of the harbour entrance, west to Five Dock Bay. However, sounding densities were relatively sparse west of Cockatoo Island, where a new dry dock, Fitzroy Dry Dock, was opened in late 1857. A long baseline, 2780 feet long was laid out at Rose Bay, from which a triangulation scheme was set up to cover all the harbour as far west as Cockatoo Island. Check baselines were set up at Manly Beach, north of the harbour entrance, Darling Point and South Head. The survey and initial chart production took approximately two months" (Phil Mulhearn 'The 18th and 19th Century Charting of Sydney Harbour / Port Jackson, 2014). This issue not in Tooley. …
