Item Details
Description
Large format, double-page hand-colored map of the geographical and political divisions in the Americas in 1813. An uncommon map. Shows young United States reaching only about halfway across the country. In this map Lake Erie is shown to be larger than Lake Superior. The entire northwestern half of the North American continent is labeled “Parts Unknown.” Shows Columbus’ route to the New World and traces Pizarro’s campaign of 1531. Note at upper northwest coast: “The whole of this coast, till now incorrect and little known, has been lately carefully ascertained by Vancouver.” This reference is to George Vancouver, the British naval officer whose voyages on The Discovery changed the knowledge of the upper western coast of North America. Tables at left show Geographical and Political Divisions of America, Productions, Discoveries, Establishments, etc., and lists (1) Unknown Parts; (2) English Possessions; (3) The American Union; (4) Spanish Possessions; (5) Portuguese Possessions; and (6) Countries hardly visited. A fascinating and extremely informative map of the American continents at a time when American discovery to the West was still fraught with mystery and danger. The map is from LeSage’s Historical, Genealogical, Chronological & Geographical Atlas, published by LeSage (Las Casas Emmanuel Comte de) in 1813. Numerous small spots of foxing, but a sound map. 14.5 x 15.75 map image on 18.25 x 26.5 sheet.
