Good. Foxing along fold lines. Some loss at fold intersections. Size 19.25 x 25.25 Inches. This is a striking 1854 Ensign, Bridgman, and Fanning map of Ontario and Quebec, Canada. The map captures the ephemeral period between the 1841 founding of the Province of Canada, and the 1867 Canadian Confederation. A Closer Look This map illustrates administrative divisions of Canada West (Ontario) and Canada East (Quebec) to the county level, as well as waterways (including canals), cities, towns, and railways (including proposed). The more densely populated Canada West composes the main map while Canada East occupies an inset at bottom-right. Data from the 1852 census is included, not present in earlier editions. The close interconnection between Canada and the United States, despite their relatively recent hostilities during the War of 1812, is evident, especially at Buffalo (where Ensign had an office) and Detroit. It is noteworthy that the map indicates the locations of Hudson Bay Company trading posts at top-left, in what is now central Ontario, illustrating the sparse white settler presence. For instance, Sudbury, the largest city in the region, was built on land leased from the Ojibwe in 1850, and the settler population remained extremely small (consisting of missionaries and traders) until the Canadian Pacific Railway provided greater access in 1880s. Canada's Evolution from Colonies to Confederation This map was made after the 1841 union of Upper and Lower Canada to form the Province of Canada. New Brunswick and Nova Scotia were not added until 1867, with other territories added subsequently, explaining their absence here. Canada had recently seen uprisings (1837) pushing for greater political reforms and autonomy for the Quebequois. The union of the two Canadas and the institution of 'responsible government' was meant to address these concerns, but discontent remained among supporters of the uprisings and Tories opposed to them. Tories burned down the Canadian Parliament in 1849 to protest what they saw as an overly generous amnesty to former rebels. Additionally, migration from the British Isles increased rapidly throughout the 1830s-40s due to land clearances and famines in Scotland and Ireland, which quickly had a political impact. In the mid-1860s, the Province of Canada confederated with New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, and greater autonomy was granted to the newly-created entity, the first Dominion of the British Empire. Publication History and Census This map was made by Edward Ensign with his partners Bridgman and Fanning and was printed by David McLellan in 1854. It is based on an earlier edition published in 1848 by Ensign and Thayer. An intermediate edition was published in 1853, explaining the copyright at top-left, and additional editions may have been published in the intervening years (late 1840s - early 1850s). All editions are quite rare, with the OCLC indicating six institutions holding any edition of the map. The current edition has no known history on the market. References: Rumsey 2959.002.

Good. Soiling and wear along fold lines and at top. Size 28 x 15.5 Inches. An example of Thomas Fanning's 1855 map of New York City. Among several interesting features, it is most notable for including presumed future development, including in the central part of Uptown Manhattan, some of which in the process of being designated for Central Park. A Closer Look Coverage includes Manhattan south of 89th St., along with nearby portions of Queens, Brooklyn, Jersey City, and nearby islands. A grid surrounds the map with a corresponding index of street names appearing in the margins at left and right. City districts are shaded for easy differentiation and indicated with Roman numerals. On the water, ferry lines are traced with their distance in yards. At top, views of the Merchants' Exchange (55 Wall St.), the Institution for the Blind (at 34th St and Ninth Ave.), and the Customs House (Federal Hall, 26 Wall St.) appear. Presumed land reclamation and future development is ghosted in along the shoreline in Brooklyn, on both the eastern and western ends of Manhattan, and in Jersey City and Hoboken. (Just) Before Central Park Similarly, much of the street grid uptown was projected, as the area was only sporadically populated. A snakelike curved line separates the most densely populated areas of the city, showing that it had already reached Yorkville on the east side. Still, much of the land north of 40th St. remained as rural villages and scattered homes. The central part of this portion of Manhattan, which became Central Park, was then inhabited by established communities of free people of color, specifically Seneca Village, which were later displaced. Although here the street grid overlays both Seneca Village and the future Central Park, its green shading indicates that Fanning was aware of the negotiations then in progress. Fanning's presumptions about future development here were entirely sensible. By this map's publication, the groundwork for the city's future growth was already laid, including reservoirs, rail lines, and the city's characteristic standardized geometric street grid. In fact, the logic of the city's uniform development eventually cut through some of the extant recognizable sites, such as Hamilton Square. The park at Bloomingdale Square on the west side was also eliminated with the creation of Central Park in 1857. Manhattan Square was saved because it was handed over to the Central Park Commission, which was unsure of what to do with it until designating it for the American Museum of Natural History. The 'Receiving Reservoir' seen here was retained in the plans for Central Park as the Croton Reservoir, also known as the Yorkville Reservoir (likely to avoid confusion with another Croton Reservoir further south). It was decommissioned and drained in the late 1920s, but an adjacent Upper Reservoir built along with Central Park remains as the picturesque Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir. Publication History and Census This map was published by Ensign, Bridgman, and Fanning in New York in 1855, with a copyright entered by Horace Thayer dated to 1853. This edition of the map is quite scarce, only being noted among the holdings of Stanford University. An edition dated to 1854 (OCLC 83866120) is also present in the collections of the Wisconsin Historical Society, the University of Chicago, the Fenimore Art Museum, Swarthmore College, Middlebury College, the New York State Library, and the New York Public Library. Additionally, the 1854 edition of Phelps' New York City guide (OCLC 1050759080 - digital and physical examples co-mingled) included Fanning's map of that year. References: Rumsey 3614.003.

Good. Full professional restoration and stabilization. Overall toning and crackling. Accompanied by, but unattached to, original rollers. Could be reattached on request. Size 31 x 43 Inches. A decorative 1855 wall map of the United States. Issued by Ensign, Bridgman and Fanning, this map covers from Atlantic to Pacific and from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico. This map illustrates an ephemeral period in the development of the American West with each of its many editions exhibiting significant changes and updates. A Closer Look The present example, representing the sixth edition, reveals major developments west following the 1849 Gold Rush and the general westward migration. California features significant development over earlier editions, with numerous new settlements, particularly around San Francisco Bay and Monterey. Further east, The Gold Region, along the the San Joaquin and Sacramento Rivers, is labeled. Great Salt Lake is presented in an embryonic form indicative of the generally poor knowledge of the Great Basin predating the Railroad Surveys being conducted as this map went to press. Salt Lake City itself is identified as 'City of the Great Salt Lake.' Other Mormon settlements along the east side of the lake are noted. Nebraska extends northwards to the Canadian border and both Washington and Oregon extend eastward to the Rocky Mountains. The apocryphal Louis Fork or southern extension of the Columbia River, named after Meriwether Lewis, is shown in southeastern Oregon. American Indian nations are identified throughout. A smaller map of Mexico appears on the lower left Railroad Lines and Emigrant Trails The rail lines at this time extended westward no further than Jefferson City, Missouri and Shreveport, Louisiana, west of which only wagon trails continued on to the Pacific. Many of these are noted including the 'Route to Oregon' (the famous Oregon Trail), the 'Route to Santa Fe,' and the southern route from 'Fort Smith to Santa Fe.' Other routes presented are the tracks of Fremont and the 'Great Spanish Trail from Los Angeles to Santa Fe.' Texas shows some development including an embryonic rail system running between Austin and the port of Galveston. A Decorative Map True its descriptive title the map is surrounded by numerous pictorial vignettes illustrating, from the title clockwise: the Presidents of the United States, Perry's Opening of Japan, the Landing of the Pilgrims in 1620, farm tools, the 1846 Battle of Monterrey (Mexican American War), the United States House of Representatives Chamber, an illustration of Justice personified, the signing of the Declaration of Independence (largest illustration, bottom center), a personification of Liberty, the Senate Chamber, the capture of General La Vega 1846 (Mexican American War), weapons and armor, the landing of Columbus 1492, the Constitution and Guerriere (Navy Ships), and again, the Presidents. Publication History and Census This map was published in 1855 by Ensign, Bridgeman, and Fanning, engraved by J. M. Atwood. Phelps and Ensign began issuing decorative wall maps of the United States in 1839 - which they advertised as Ensign's Travellers' Guide . That map used some of the same border and vignette art, but as a map terminated at the Mississippi. That map was dramatically expanded westward to account for the Texas Revolution (1836) in 1840. A further expansion ensued in 1847 under the imprint of Ensign, Thayer, and Phelps - the first of the lineage to extend to the Pacific. The map was fully re-engraved, rescaled, and retitled as a Pictorial Map of the United States , this being the third edition of that series. A second variant on this edition was issued by Ensign and Thayer in early 1848. Once the Mexican-American War ended in 1848, a larger run must have been issued, as the 1849 (Rumsey 5057) and 1850 editions appear more frequently. We are aware of another issued in 1852 (Rumsey 3508), then again in 1853, followed by editions by Ensign, Bridgman, and Fanning.
