In den WarenkorbHardcover. 1st Edition. Good. Original binding heavily worn but intact. Contains both called for maps. Pages exhibit mild toning and light foxing. Maps are both in excellent condition. Size 7.5 x 5 Inches. This is Pierre-Louis Berquin Duvallon's 1803 travel narrative describing Spanish-administered Louisiana and West Florida on…the cusp of the Louisiana Purchase. The work offers an entertaining and often critical account of political, economic, and social life in New Orleans between 1800 and 1802. It also includes two important maps, being among the few specific maps of Upper and Lower Louisiana and West Florida during the Spanish period. A Closer Look This is the first edition of the book in its original full leather binding. The binding is heavily worn and scuffed but intact. Contains some 318 pages, plus supplementary material and errata. There are two significant maps - see below. Streeter (1530) describes the work: This gives an entertaining and gossipy first-hand picture of life in New Orleans at the turn of the century; its theatrical companies, dances, the high status of medical doctors, gaucheries of the Creoles, and so on. At the end there are general accounts of the natural features of Louisiana, its commerce, and other general subjects. Its two colored maps, one of lower, the other of upper Louisiana to the Falls of St. Anthony are well worth while. (Streeter Sale #1530). Love Hate Affair with New Orleans Duvallon had a love-hate relationship with Louisiana in general and New Orleans specifically. His initial low opinion was likely spurred by his run-ins with the law regarding his importation of illegal Haitian slaves. He dwells on New Orleans over several chapters, which he describes as a ramshackle city with streets little better than open sewers. He seems to have been both scandalized and fascinated by the city's nightlife, calling the citizens amoral drunks bereft of education and manners, given to lewd dancing and nonstop gambling. He was particularly bothered by the free mixing of the races, as well as freemen and slaves. However, given the amount of pen-time he dedicates to these topics, it is clear he spent a good deal of time engaged in such activities. Map: West Florida and Lower Louisiana The work's primary map, Carte Detaillee de la Basse-Louisiane et Floride Occidentale, pour etre adaptee a l'ouvrage intitule, Vue de la Colonie Espagnole du Mississippi (9 x 16 in), is one of the best specific maps capturing Louisiana on the cusp of the Louisiana Purchase. It was engraved by Alexandre Blondeau. It captures the southern part of Spanish Louisiana and West Florida. Centered on the Mississippi River and New Orleans, coverage embraces from what is here named the 'Rio de San Marco ou de Colorado,' likely the Sabine River, and just to the east, Lake Calcasieu (Lacs des Cono-Kosses), east past Mobile Bay and Pensacola, as far as the Apalachicola River (Rio des Apalaches). The territory is divided by the Mississippi River into 'Basse-Louisiane' and 'Floride Occidentale.' New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Mobile, Pensacola, Poste de Plaquemine (Plaquemines Parish), and Fort Apalache are named. Map: Upper Louisiana The second smaller map, Carte Réduite e la Haute-Louisiane et Pays Circonvoisins, pour être adaptée à L'Ouvrage intitulé, Vue da la Colonie Espagnole du Mississipi (9 x 8 in), covers upper Louisiana or, Haute-Louisiane. It, too, was engraved by Alexandre Blondeau. Centered on the Mississippi, coverage embraces from the Falls of St. Anthony to Natchez. Lakes Superior and Michigan are embryonically illustrated. St. Louis, New Madrid, St. Genevieve, the 'Poste de Arcs ou Arkansas,' and Natchez are identified. Territory is divided between Spanish-administered Haute-Louisiane to the west, described as 'vast countries little known,' and the Etats-Unis (United States) to the east. Kentucky is named at the confluence of the Ohio with the Mississippi River. To the north of Kentucky, the 'Territoire du Nord Ouest' is noted, a reference to.

In den WarenkorbSheet size: 21 4/8 x 41 2/8 inches. Ink and watercolour wash on paper. A FINE ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT MAP showing portions of the provinces of Louisiana, West Florida and Texas and their respective boundaries during a time of challenge and attempted definition. As reflected in the map and related documents, the issue of internationa…l borders became acute beginning in 1803 in the context of the formal Spanish retrocession of Louisiana to France, the French sale of Louisiana to the United States, and a near military clash between American and Spanish forces in an area highlighted by the map, the northeastern corner of Texas. Following the wave of Spanish engineer-cartographers of the 1760s through the 1780s, with their rich, exuberant water colours and detail, Spanish mapmakers became more sparing and also less visible in their authorship, as evidenced by this one map. No signature or author identification appears. Yet, like so many other maps from the sixteenth through the nineteenth centuries, this one provides an excellent example of the importance of such documents as symbols of authority and possession in a part of the world (North America) where nation-states and empires competed with one another for control of territory, people, and resources. Maps provided significant visual complements to written documents when arguing ownership or claims for ill-defined borders. The focus and colouring of the map highlight two borders: the first, on the righthand side is the straight line of the thirty-first parallel or line of latitude beginning at the Mississippi River and running due east to the edge of the map above Lake Pontchartrain and New Orleans. The second highlighted border is the ninety-degree corner following what writers have identified as an Arroyo Hondo (not shown on the map) separating Los Adais (Los Adaes) in the province of Texas from Natchitoches in Louisiana. The line then runs south from the thirty-first parallel following the Mississippi River to the mouth of the Bayou Manchac (Iberville River), and then east to Lake Maurepas along that lake's north shore to its connection with Lake Pontchartrain, and finally along that lake's north, a line agreed upon in the treaty between Britain and France at the end of the Seven Years' War in 1763. The territory encompassed is prominently identified as "Territorio del Dominio de S.M. pertenence a la Florida" (Territory of the Dominion of His Majesty belonging to Florida"). This focus reveals local Spanish officials and the mapmaker's attempt to provide by way of a vivid illustration their ongoing effort to clarify and establish borders in a region where Spain, France, and Great Britain had competed with one another for over a hundred years. After achieving independence from Britain in 1783, the United States entered the game. When it purchased Louisiana from France in 1803, it began aggressively to claim as part of its acquisition lands the Spanish continued to regard as theirs. Diplomatic resolution of the issue between those two countries did not occur until 1819 by means of the Adams-Onis, or Transcontinental, Treaty, and its ratification in 1821. A more complete catalogue description written by Charles Weeks is available on request.

In den Warenkorb1st Edition. Very good. Some minor creasing and a few pencil marks related to navigation. Backed on original old linen. Size 39.35 x 25.75 Inches. A scarce 1866 working Spanish Dirección de Hidrografía nautical map of peninsular Florida and northern Cuba. This chart was used by the Santiago , one of the first steamships to ply t…he Havana-Cadiz route. A Closer Look Coverage embraces Florida from Saint Augustine and Apalachee Bay, south to include the Florida Keys and parts of northern Cuba. It features extensive annotation regarding navigation to and from Havana. It also notes the distance from which lighthouses are visible in Cuba and along the Florida coast. It exhibits advanced detail in the vicinity of Tampa Bay and along the Keys. The focus is more on the Gulf Side of Florida than the Atlantic, which is beyond the bounds of the map from Fort Pierce to the Miami River. Nonetheless, the chart resumes near modern-day Miami and includes the Florida Keys, named using the Spanish toponomy. Provenance This chart was owned and sailed by Pio Riberas y Ponès from February 1881. Riberas y Ponès likely refers to Quirico Riberas y Ponès, a Spanish sea captain out of Cadiz who worked the commercial route between Cadiz and the Spanish West Indies, stopping at Puerto Rico and Havana. His ship, the Santiago , was a 1,375-horsepower steamship, one of the first to ply this route. Publication History and Census The chart was first issued by the Dirección de Hidrografía in 1862, one year after Florida joined the Confederacy and the outbreak of the American Civil War (1861 - 1865). We find it curious that the first edition of the chart, 1862, was issued one year after the start of the war, and the present, second edition, was issued one year after the end of the war. Possibly, the chart makers intended to capitalize on new information and surveys produced as part of the war effort. The chart was drawn by Tomás Bryant y Galiano and engraved by Manuel Rodriguez and Francisco Bregante y Orbay. It is rare; in the OCLC, we note only references to the 1862 (no institutional holdings) and the 1914 (two holdings), so the 1st and 3rd editions, but no examples of this, the 1866 edition. We also note an example at the Instituto Geográfico Nacional in Madrid. References: OCLC 557409387 (1862).
