Very good. Original fold lines. Minor offsetting. Size 13.5 x 18 Inches. A remarkable 1758/1781 idiosyncratically engraved map offering a uniquely French perspective on the French and Indian War (1754 - 1763). It is based on the first-hand experiences of French engineer Pierre Pouchot de Maupas. A Closer Look The map covers the primary American theater of the war, extending from just west of Fort Duquesne (Pittsburgh) in western Pennsylvania to New York City and New Jersey, and from the Delaware Bay to Montreal, illustrating the full course of the Hudson and St. Lawrence Rivers. In a letter to the Marshal de Belle-Isle, dated Montreal, April 14, 1758, Pouchot describes this very map, I have handed to the Marquis de Vaudreuil, a map and memoir, on the subject of the French and English frontiers which I have drawn up on the best informations I have been able to procure, during my sojourn at Niagara. I have laid down in my voyages, the course of the river from Montreal, Lake Ontario as far as Lake Eire; therefore it has an appearance of truth which correctly represents the country and is not contained in any other maps. As I have not been on the English frontier, I laid that down according to their best maps, which I again corrected on such reliable information as I have obtained. It is in sufficient detail however, to show the interest we ought to take to prevent the English interposing obstacles in the way of the Iroquois and Loups, who form a barrier. That country, my Lord, would be well worth being seen by experienced eyes, which has not yet been the case; the well known carrying place of Niagara is an evident proof. The most recent accounts thereof, describe it as the most rugged of Alps, whilst 'tis only a rise of ground, a little more elevated that that of Bellvue. Below and above are very fine plains, as can be seen on my map. Pouchot's letter defines the map as having been drawn in America prior to 1758, during the French and Indian War. It is unclear if it was engraved or printed in America, but the style overall is idiosyncratic, suggesting an informal hand, as will be discussed later. The Theater of War through French Eyes Pouchot was a military engineer whose specialization in fortifications was critical to the French war effort. During the course of the war, he was dispatched throughout the region to shore up defenses and manage siege works. Not only was he present during many of the most significant battles, but he was also captured twice and sent to New York as a prisoner of war - where he earned the respect of his British captors and was treated as a gentleman. As such, this map offers a remarkable contemporaneous (1755 - 1759) overview of the theater of war as the well-educated and well-traveled French engineer understood it. Emphasis is given to inland transportation networks, including roads and navigable riverways, as well as to fortifications, all of which would have been essential to the French war effort. Among the forts noted are Duquesne (Pittsburgh), with the location where the French clashed with George Washington in 1754 marked nearby by crossed swords. Other forts identified include Fort Chougen (Oswego), Fort Niagara, Fort Presque Isle, Fort Cumberland, Ft. La Presentation, Ft. Levis, Fort Chambly, Ft. St. Jean, Fort Carillon, Fort St. Frederic, Ft. William Henry, Fort George, Ft. Hunter, and others. Curious Manuscript Annotations Several finely executed red-inked manuscript annotations are evident on all surviving examples of this map. These refer to Pouchot's travels along the Saint Lawrence. Starting near Montreal, numbered indicators illustrate Pouchot's journey. En route, he visits the Mississauga Indian island village of Toniata (Grenadier Island), as well as the small river islands identified here as I. au Citron and I. au Cochis. The voyage is recorded in Pouchot's narrative, where he writes of Toniata, At five leagues from Point au Baril is the Island of Toniata. The main channel of the riv.

Very good. Dissected on linen. 3 sections, as issued. Original slipcase. Former library stamps embossed onto map. Deaccessioned. Size 40 x 78 Inches. This is Joseph-Francis Bouchette's rare large-scale 1831 map of Canada - a seminal map relating to Canadian development, immigration, and land usage. The map details the provinces of Upper and Lower Canada (Ontario and Quebec), which were established in 1791. Most significantly, the map focuses on lands, towns, roads, and districts designated to the Canada Company - the most important immigration and settlement initiative in Canadian history. The Canada Company's copious settlements are indicated on the map by an asterisk or a cross next to each name. Bouchette notes land disputes between the United States and British North America in Maine and Oregon, but predictably advocates exclusively for British positions. The Canada Company The map argues strongly for the Bouchette family's political and financial interests. Following the British defeat in the American Revolutionary War, the crown began a campaign to more aggressively settle Canadian provinces with British loyalists. Both military and civilian colonists were given rights to petition the Governor for free or leased lands. The Canada Company was formed by Royal Charter in August 1826 to assist in this process. The joint-stock company initially acquired Upper Canada's undeveloped clergy and crown reserves, as well as lands acquired from the Chippewa First Nation on the eastern shores of Lake Huron - the Huron Reserve. In aggregate they controlled over 2,400,000 acres of undeveloped real estate. Flawed but Successful Like many British joint-stock companies of the period, the Canada Company, from its earliest days, was mired in mismanagement and corruption. That said, unlike many similar companies, the Canada Company achieved its goals, providing colonists with good ships, low fares, implements and tools, and quality inexpensive land. The Company established hundreds of towns throughout their vast lands, many identified here, developing basic services in each. Over the next 100 years, the company sold off the lands, and by 1938 only about 20,000 acres remained. In 1951, these were taken over by the government, some to be sold, others turned into Pinery Provincial Park. Political and Financial Agenda The Bouchettes were almost certainly investors in the Canada Company and aggressively promoted its goals. Bouchette Sr. wrote a chapter long defense of the Canada Company in his British Dominions . When company infighting, mismanagement, extreme loyalist policies, and slavish devotion to Tory elites led to the 1837 Upper Canada Rebellion, the mapmaker's younger brother Robert Shore Milnes Bouchette (1805 - 1879) played a major role, for which he was exiled to Bermuda (oh the horror!). Frequent Misattribution This map is frequently attributed to Joseph Bouchette Sr. (1774 - 1841), but it is in fact the work of Joseph-Francis Bouchette, the former's son. In his 1831 book, British Dominions in North America: Or, A Topographical and Statistical Description of the Provinces of Lower and Upper Canada. , the author's father, Joseph Bouchette Sr., properly attributes the map: The geographical map of the British provinces, and of a section of the adjacent states of the American union, accompanying the work, will, it is hoped, be found an interesting adjunct, from the scope of the country it embraces, as well as an account of the sources of information whence it was compiled. This map was constructed by the author's eldest son, Joseph Bouchette, Esq., Deputy Surveyor-General of Lower Canada, and must, like the other maps, be left in a great measure to speak for itself. It is but justice to the compiler, however, to mention the extreme laboriousness with which, during three years, he attached himself to its construction, in the midst of active professional duties-the close investigation as to the correctness of documents that preceded their.

Very good. Dissected and mounted on linen in four panels, each with 12 sections. Original slipcase. Given size is of the entire map, not individual panels. Size 48.5 x 62.5 Inches. A fine example of Purdy's important 1821 map of Cabotia or Canada and New England at the time the largest and finest map of that region. Cabotia is Purdy's manufactured term for eastern Canada or those lands discovered by John Cabot in 1497. The map covers from Lake Michigan to Newfoundland and from Labrador to New York City. Within Canada, it includes all of Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland. In the United States, it includes all of New England, Michigan, and New York, as well as parts of Ohio and Pennsylvania. There are no fewer than 10 inset detail maps including a map of the Great lakes, the environs of Quebec, the St. Lawrence River, Niagara and vicinity, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Halifax, St. John, and New York Harbor. Cabotia - A New Name One of this map's most striking features is the use of the term 'Cabotia.' Purdy coined the term Cabotia in reference to the 1497 discoveries of John Cabot. His purpose in renaming the region is unclear although some have argued that the term was chosen for no other purpose than to drive map sales as with the Fredonia map of 1830. Still others, taking in the scope of the map and its inclusion of much of New England, suggest that Purdy may have been making a subtle assertion of British claims to the entire northeastern part of North America. This map's amazing details A particularly interesting aspect of this map is the notable difference between the old awkwardly formed French seigneurial grants along the St. Lawrence which were mostly honored by the British- and the new perfectly square townships established by the British shortly after the French and Indian War. There are numerous annotations throughout ranging from a biography of John Cabot in support of the term Cabotia, Purdy's criticism of other cartographers, notes on navigation and topography, comments on road conditions, and even suggests advancing the placement of new lighthouses. A Cartographic History Cartographically, Purdy derived this map by combining the best features of the best maps of the era. For Upper Canada he uses the Smyth map of 1800 and the Chewitt map of 1813. For Lower Canada and the Maritime Provinces, he references the work of Holland in 1775 and 1802, and Cary in 1807. New Brunswick features new information extracted from government manuscript surveys which Purdy presumably had access to. For much of the nautical detail, including the soundings, he relies on Des Barres. Publication History and Census Purdy's map was first issued in 1814 shortly following the end of the War of 1812. Given the map's focus area and Purdy's decision to include much of the northeastern United States, the map may have been issued with the treaty negotiations in mind and, in fact, many scholars believe it was used for that very purpose. The present offering is the scarce third state or Malinski's second state. There are few changes, other than the date on the imprint, between the first, second, and third states. Although all editions are rare, this present offering is exceptionally scarce as noted by Richard M. Malinski, who was unable to locate a physical example, merely referencing the map via a note in Phillips. There are currently 8 known states: 1814, 1818, 1821 (present example), 1825, May 1828, June 1828, 1838, and 1850. While there are minor cartographic differences between the editions, the most significant changes appeared between the 1821 and 1825 editions. The 1850 edition is notable for the abandonment of the 'Cabotia' toponym in favor of 'The Vice-Royalty of Canada.' The map was drawn by John Purdy, engraved by Thomson and Hall, and published by Laurie and Whittle. There are about 20 known examples in institutional collections: 10 are held by the British Library, 6 by American institu.

Very good. Overall toning and minor foxing. Size 13 x 16.5 Inches. A beautiful 1861 example of Johnson's map of Canada's Maritime Provinces, including New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, and Prince Edward Island. Like most of Johnson's maps, this map was derived from an earlier map by J. H. Colton issued in 1855. The map covers all of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Prince Edward, along with a portion of adjacent Quebec. Canadian provinces and territories were under British and French control from the 16th century, until France gave up its claims in the Treaty of Paris in 1763. Canada would remain a collection of British colonies until its confederation in 1867, when the British colonies of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia would become Canadian provinces along with Ontario and Quebec. Although known as the 'Birthplace of Confederation,' Prince Edward Island would only join the confederation in 1873. This map also identifies various forts, rivers, mountain passes, fords, and an assortment of additional topographical details. Map is hand colored in pink, green, yellow and blue pastels to define state and territorial boundaries. Features the strapwork style border common to Johnson's atlas work from 1860 to 1863. Published by A. J. Johnson and Browning as plate number 19 in the 1861 edition of Johnson's New Illustrated Family Atlas . This is the last edition of the Johnson Atlas to bear the 'Johnson and Browning' imprint. Subsequent editions reflect Ward's 1862 acquisition Ross C. Browning's shares in the firm.

Very good. Minor spotting. Size 11.5 x 14 Inches. This is a beautiful example of the legendary American map publisher Samuel Augustus Mitchell Jr.'s 1968 map of the Canadian province of Ontario, or Canada West. Centered on Lake Ontario, this map covers from Lake Erie eastward from Detroit, Michigan and Lake Huron at the northwest, as far as Quebec with Grand Manitoulin and Georgian Bay to the north. Canadian provinces and territories were under British and French control from the 16th century, until France gave up its claims in the Treaty of Paris in 1763. Canada would remain a collection of British colonies until its confederation in 1867, when the British Province of Canada was divided into Quebec and Ontario and the British colonies of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia incorporated as Canadian provinces. With the signing of the 1854 Treaty of Reciprocity between the United States and Canada, this area experienced a period of sustained growth and prosperity. The Treaty was a move towards free trade, in which the United States and Canada opened borders and shared navigation rights. This map also identifies various cities, towns, rivers and an assortment of additional topographical details. Map is color coded according to political boundaries with elevation rendered by hachure.

Very good. Blank on verso. Even overall toning. Size 13.5 x 17 Inches. A beautiful 1855 first edition example of Colton's map of Quebec (Canada east or Lower Canada) and New Brunswick. Like most of Colton's regional maps, this map was derived from an earlier wall map of North America produced by Colton and D. Griffing Johnson. Following the St. Lawrence River Valley from Montreal eastward to the Gulf of St. Lawrence, this map covers what is today Montreal, Quebec, and New Brunswick. Canadian provinces and territories were under British and French control from the 16th century, until France gave up its claims in the Treaty of Paris in 1763. Canada would remain a collection of British colonies until its confederation in 1867, when the British Province of Canada was divided into Quebec and Ontario and the British colonies of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia incorporated as Canadian provinces. With the signing of the 1854 Treaty of Reciprocity between the United States and Canada, this area experienced a period of sustained growth and prosperity. The increased international trade that flowed into Quebec via the Hudson Valley inspired popular interest in the region. Montreal, Three Rivers, and St. Francis in particular benefited from the cross-border trade. This map also identifies various forts, rivers, mountain passes, fords, and an assortment of additional topographical details. Map is hand colored in pink, green, yellow and blue pastels to define state and territorial boundaries. Surrounded by Colton's typical spiral motif border. Dated and copyrighted to J. H. Colton, 1855. Published from Colton's 172 William Street Office in New York City. Issued as page no. 5 in volume 1 of Colton's 1856 Atlas of the World . References: Rumsey 0149.014 (1856 edition).
