Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

WITH PARTICULARLY FINE ORIGINAL COLOR.London: William Faden, 1776. Third issue. Copperplate engraving with original hand color, 31 1/2" x 21 1/2". Near fine, with some peripheral tanning and small splits, not affecting the image. Framed floating and glazed. With its three oblong tiers the Sauthier (1736-1802) and Faden (1749-1836) map of the Hudson River is reminiscent of triptych compositions and their network of cross-references between individual panels. It thus marks the progression from New York City to Rhinebeck (first section), as well as from the Mohawk River and Lake George (central section) to Lake Champlain in Vermont and the Canadian province of Quebec (third section). In addition to its displaying one of Sauthier's most iconic designs, the map is a key document in the history of the Revolutionary War; the Hudson River/Lake George/Lake Champlain Corridor was indeed viewed by the British as an invasion route between Canada and the Middle Colonies and it comes as no surprise that Sauthier identifies not only roads, forts, and navigational hazards but also the locations of military action against the British troops of Guy Carleton. The map was continually revised in the course of the war; the first and second issues are dated by Stevens & Tree to 1 October 1776, the third issue to 11 October 1776. Control of the River was paramount for both sides, as Carleton repeatedly tried to cut off the Northern Colonies from the rest of the rebellious territories. Though his campaign was halted by the fleet of Benedict Arnold, three-prong attacks led by General Burgoyne in 1777 made the Hudson River once again the setting of battles and skirmishes. The French-born Claude Joseph Sauthier emigrated to North America in 1767 when he worked for Governor Tryon, first in North Carolina and then in New York. While Sauthier's importance as a cartographer is based on large surveying projects (including New England and present-day Vermont), it appears that his Revolutionary War maps are indebted to the works of William Brassier. Sauthier's collaborator William Faden published his North American Atlas in 1777. Considered the most detailed record of the early stages in the Revolutionary War, it featured 29 maps including battle maps drawn by eyewitnesses. Stevens & Tree, Comparative Cartography 23c.…
