Item Details
Description
"Grondvlakte van Nieuw Orleans, de Hoofdstad van Louisiana (Ground Plan of New Orleans, of the Capital of Louisiana)...", by Isaak Tirion (Dutch, 1705-1765), hand-colored engraved map, published Amsterdam, 1769, sight 14" x 18-1/2". Glazed, matted and framed. Provenance: Descended in a New Orleans family. Tirion's map was created after Louis Brion de la Tour's 1720 plan of the city, two years after it was founded. Divided into three sections, the first is one of the oldest plans of the French Quarter; the second is a survey of the New Orleans environs, including the delta and the surrounding bayou; and the third section delineates the boundaries of Fort La Balise, which later sank into the marsh in the late 1700s.
