Aggiungi al carrelloGood. Discoloration and wear along centerfold. Sporadic spots of discoloration, especially in margins. Size 13 x 13.75 Inches. Intricately detailed and informative, this is Matthew Carey's c. 1795 map of South America, included in Carey's General Atlas , the first atlas published in the American Republic. It illustrates the cont…inent just prior to the wars of independence that would expel the Spanish from the region, opening the door for greater influence from the United States. A Closer Look The map is exhaustive in the labelling of coastal settlements, mountains, rivers, lakes, islands, regions, and indigenous groups. The discoveries of Captain James Cook, such as South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, some twenty years before this map's publication, have been incorporated. However, Carey maintains a 'Terra Australis' in the South Atlantic, to the south of Gough Island (here as 'Alvarez'). The coast of West Africa and the Cape Verde Islands appear at top-right, highlighting their proximity to Brazil. A scale is provided in British statute miles, while Philadelphia serves as Prime Meridian. A dotted line marks the division of Spanish and Portuguese spheres by Pope Alexander VI (and by the subsequent Treaty of Tordesillas between Spain and Portugal). Independence for most of Spain's American colonies followed the American Revolution by several decades. Relations between the new governments were initially limited but expanded considerably by the mid-19th century. In 1811, President James Madison sent Joel Roberts Poinsett as an envoy and special agent to South America to report on and support independence movements there. Madison's successor, James Monroe, articulated the Monroe Doctrine in 1823, which has arguably remained the basis for U.S. relations with the continent ever since. Publication History and Census This map appeared in the 1795 or 1796 edition of Carey's General Atlas (often subtitled American Edition of Guthrie's Geography improved ). The distribution of this map is difficult to firmly establish, due to uncertainty over its date and because OCLC catalog listings include digitized copies along with physical examples. In any event, both the individual map and the entire atlas are held by a handful of universities and research institutions in the United States and Europe, while the map is scarce to the market.

Aggiungi al carrelloGood. Discoloration along the centerfold. Wear along the centerfold at margins. Slight foxing at upper-left margin. Size 12.5 x 14 Inches. This is Matthew Carey and William Barker's c. 1795 map of Ottoman Europe, Hungary, and nearby territories in southeastern Europe, made for Carey's General Atlas . It depicts the region as it…was just prior to a major rearrangement that would see Ottoman rule over the European portion of its empire collapse. A Closer Look Coverage includes Hungary, the Balkans, Greece, and territories that today compose Bulgaria, Romania, Moldova, and Ukraine. Waterways, mountains, cities, administrative borders, and regions appear in extensive detail. Scales are provided in Hungarian miles and British statute miles. Bulgaria and Romania are reversed from their actual locations, a curious error which remained in later editions. The Decline of Ottoman Europe Often remembered as the 'sick man of Europe,' the Ottoman Empire went through a long period of unrest and dissolution from the late 18th through the early 20th century. In fact, there were several important reform efforts that might have forestalled the empire's disintegration, but they were hindered by opposition from entrenched interests. The Ottoman's main problem was dealing with an increasingly powerful Russia to its north while also managing potential threats from Austria and other nearby powers, especially as Russia and Austria were allied for much of the 18th century. Although on the defensive, the Ottomans were able to do so for the first half of the 18th century, but the disastrous Russo-Turkish War of 1768 - 1774 led to the loss of Crimea, and another war against Russia from 1787 until 1792 led to further losses along the Black Sea. The Ottomans also had to contend with rising discontent among subject populations, including a 1769 - 1772 revolt in Egypt and periodic Greek uprisings, harbingers of greater troubles to come. By the 1830s, Ottoman rule over most of the territory seen here would be seriously threatened or eliminated entirely. Publication History and Census This map was engraved by William Barker for the 1795 or 1796 edition of Carey's General Atlas (sometimes subtitled American Edition of Guthrie's Geography improved ). Its distribution is difficult to firmly establish, both due to uncertainty over its date and because the OCLC catalog listing includes digitized copies along with physical examples. The map is listed among the holdings of the American Antiquarian Society, while the entire atlas is held by a handful of universities and research institutions in the United States and Europe.

Aggiungi al carrelloVery good. Light wear and toning along original centerfold. Size 13.5 x 14.5 Inches. This is a 1795 Matthew Carey map of Italy and Sicily. Published during the French Revolution (1789 - 1799), this map captures Italy at a moment of continental upheaval. A Closer Look The map depicts from Lake Geneva in Switzerland south to Malta… and northern Africa and from Montpelier in France to the Dalmatian coast. Kingdoms and principalities are labeled throughout Italy, including Piedmont, Savoy, Venice, the Vatican States, and the Kingdom of Naples. Cities, towns, and villages are identified across the region. Historical Context As this map went to the presses, Italy was a patchwork of diverse states and territories, each with its own governance. The French Revolution was reverberating throughout Europe, with significant implications for the Italian states. The northern territories, like the Duchy of Milan and the Republic of Genoa, felt the direct impact of the neighboring French Revolutionary activities. Meanwhile, more centralized regions like the Papal States and the southern Kingdom of Naples sought to defend their sovereignty and limit the spread of revolutionary ideologies. Jacobin-inspired committees began to appear in several major Italian cities, advocating for reforms and questioning the existing feudal and monarchical orders. The political and social atmosphere was charged, with Italian states navigating the delicate balance between tradition and transformative ideas. In 1796, one year after this map was published, Napoleon invaded Italy in the First Italian Campaign, formally bringing the French Revolution to Italy. Publication History and Census This map was engraved by Cornelius Tiebout and published by Matthew Carey in an early edition of his Carey's General Atlas (sometimes subtitled American Edition of Guthrie's Geography improved ), multiple editions of which were printed between 1795 and 1818. This is likely an early edition, as later editions included colored ink to show borders between countries or to shade entire countries to more easily distinguish them. Only a handful of examples are cataloged in OCLC that date from 1795 and the map is scarce on the private market. References: OCLC 1031463061, 701817442. Rumsey 2931.018.

Aggiungi al carrelloGood. Verso repair to centerfold separation. Size 13.5 x 9.5 Inches. This is an example of Matthew Carey's 1795 reduction of Caleb and Harding Harris' unobtainable landmark map of Rhode Island. It is the earliest obtainable map of Rhode Island based on contemporaneous surveys and the first specific map of Rhode Island published…in the United States. (The Harris map has appeared only once on the market in the last 25 years.) Harris' mapping of the state remained cutting-edge until 1831 when Stevens published his Topographical Map of the State of Rhode Island . A Closer Look Cities, towns, and villages are labeled. Brown University is identified in Providence (labeled simply as 'College'), and the state's road network is illustrated. Rivers, lakes, and ponds appear, and townships are delineated. Narragansett Bay and its many islands are illustrated in detail. Publication History and Census This map was engraved by J. Smither and published by Matthew Carey in Carey's American Edition of Guthrie's Geography Improved in 1795. We note an example of the separate map in the collection at the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek. The complete atlas is well-represented in institutional collections. References: Rumsey 2542.007.

Aggiungi al carrelloFair. Repaired centerfold separation. Toning along centerfold. Size 16 x 9 Inches. An example of Matthew Carey and William Barker's 1795 map of Delaware, which appeared in Carey's American Edition of Guthrie's Geography Improved , the first atlas published in the United States of America. It provides a fascinating snapshot of Am…erica's first state in the years following independence. A Closer Look Delaware is presented along with portions of Maryland, Pennsylvania, and 'West New Jersey,' retaining the nomenclature of New Jersey's earlier colonial-era division. Roads, towns, counties, major bridges, and other features are indicated. Philadelphia, the national capital at the time of publication, appears near top. Several town names changed in the years after the map's production, including Fort Penn (Port Penn), or disappeared, as with Noxonton and Pilottown, later incorporated into Lewistown (Lewes). Waterways and swamps are labeled throughout, and in Delaware Bay, islands, shoals, flats, and anchorages are recorded. The Cape Henlopen Lighthouse is illustrated at the bottom-center. Completed in 1767, it was the sixth lighthouse built in the American colonies. British troops damaged the lighthouse during the American Revolution, but it was repaired by 1784. By the early 20th century, the lighthouse was falling into disrepair and threatened by coastal erosion. It fell into the sea during a storm in 1926. Publication History and Census This map was engraved by William Barker for inclusion in Matthew Carey's Carey's American Edition of Guthrie's Geography Improved , published in Philadelphia in 1795. The same map also appeared in the overlapping Carey's American Atlas , published soon afterward. Regardless of printing, it is independently cataloged among the holdings of seven institutions in the OCLC and is scarce to the market. References: Rumsey 2542.011.

Aggiungi al carrelloFair. Mended along centerfold split. Slight soiling, slight foxing on verso. Size 11 x 16 Inches. An important map of Maryland from the early days of the American Republic, this 1795 work was drawn by Samuel Lewis and engraved by William Barker for inclusion in Matthew Carey's Carey's American Edition of Guthrie's Geography Impr…oved , the first atlas published in the United States. A Closer Look Coverage includes Maryland, Delaware, and portions of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Virginia. Maryland's counties are labelled, though their borders are not drawn. Cities and towns, roads, areas of elevation, waterways, coastal shoals, state boundaries, and other features are indicated throughout. Fort Cumberland, an important outpost in the French and Indian War where George Washington led the remnants of the disastrous Braddock Expedition in 1755, is located in the far northwest of the state. At left is an inset map of the Maryland Panhandle west of Ft. Cumberland. Mount Vernon, the estate of Washington, appears south of Alexandria, Virginia. The Early Days of Washington, D.C. Especially prominent here are Baltimore, at the time one of the largest cities in the new republic, and the 'City of Washington,' which had only been designated and surveyed at the start of the decade. The planning of the city moved ahead swiftly under the direction of Pierre Charles L'Enfant, and later Andrew Ellicott, who had already undertaken significant work surveying the district's boundaries. Nevertheless, the city seen here, along with neighboring Georgetown, is a projection of expected future growth in tandem with L'Enfant's plan rather than a reflection of the city at the time of publication. Publication History and Census This map was drawn by Samuel Lewis and engraved by William Barker for inclusion in Matthew Carey's Carey's American Edition of Guthrie's Geography Improved , published in Philadelphia in 1795. The same map also appeared in the largely overlapping Carey's American Atlas , published soon afterwards. Regardless of printing, roughly thirteen institutions independently catalog this map in the OCLC, though the intermingling of digital and physical examples makes a precise census difficult.

A fascinating 1795 map of the state of Connecticut, drawn and engraved by Amos Doolittle for Matthew Carey's Carey's American Edition of Guthrie's Geography Improved , the first atlas published in the United States of America. A Closer Look…The state of Connecticut is displayed as divided into counties. Cities and towns, roads, hills, waterways, and other features are noted throughout. Along the coast, points, harbors, beaches, and hazards are all recorded. The lighthouse near New London is the New London Harbor Light, built in 1760, the earliest lighthouse in Connecticut and the only one at the time of this map's publication. Fort Griswold, also near New London, was captured by the British (under Benedict Arnold) during the Revolutionary War in 1781, before being abandoned and recaptured by the Americans. As indicated in a legend at top-left, illustrations mark cities and towns hosting courthouses, including New York City, New Haven, Hartford, Tolland, Litchfield, Danbury, Windham, and New London. The title cartouche includes an illustration of a coastal area with ships on the water, along with the state motto 'Qui transtulit sustinet,' harkening to the state's colonial history. The 'Oblong' Notable in the western part of the state is the 'Oblong,' marked out with a dashed line. This area was the site of disputes between landowners dating back decades, itself the result of a broader territorial dispute between the colonies of New York and Connecticut. Although the colonies had resolved their disagreements in 1731, by setting aside the 'Oblong' as compensation to New York for the Connecticut Panhandle, New York landowners did not always enforce their ownership claims. This laxity allowed squatters to move in and claim rights to the land after several years. This problem was especially acute along the border with Putnam County, New York, owned by the Philipse Family. However, as the family were ardent Loyalists during the American Revolutionary War (1775 - 1783), the problem was mostly resolved at the end of the conflict when their lands were confiscated and the squatters given deeds. Publication History and Census This map was drawn and engraved by Amos Doolittle for inclusion in Matthew Carey's Carey's American Edition of Guthrie's Geography Improved , published in Philadelphia in 1795. The same map also appeared in the largely overlapping Carey's American Atlas , published soon afterwards. Regardless of printing, roughly ten institutions independently catalog this map in the OCLC, though the intermingling of digital and physical examples makes a precise census difficult.
