Description
Historically important chart published during the American Revolutionary War. An incredibly impressive and large vintage map in immaculate condition. Contains geographical and navigational data along and contiguous to the St. Lawrence River from Lake Ontario to its estuary. Based in part on D’Anville’s 1755 publication, but significantly updated by revisions from James Cook’s survey of 1760, this remarkably detailed map includes five insets, coastal profiles and copious notes. The chart was of significant importance to the British who found it invaluable following the 1763 confirmation of British government in the new province of Quebec and the unrest and impending American Revolutionary War. “An Exact Chart of the River St. Laurence from Fort Frontenac to the Island of Anticosti Shewing the Soundings, Rocks, Shoals &c with Views of the Lands and all necessary instructions for Navigating that river to Quebec.” Engraved chart with original outline color and later additional hand-coloring. Another example is featured in The Mapping of America by John Goss, which surveys eighty-five of the most visually stunning and historically important maps of North America. After examining closely with a magnifying glass, only one small fault was found—a small tear at Lake Teal, just southwest of the small rosette on the left side of the map. An excellent ink impression (it’s difficult to imagine a better copy exists). It is actually better than the photos show. This map will ship flat (extra postage due to size and special packaging). 23.25 x 37.25 map image (30 x 44 with mat)
