A close look at the work of a series of Venetian armchair travelers (editors, mapmakers, and designers of costume books) reveals the profound anxieties these authors expressed about Venice's changing status in early modern Europe. Once an unassailable maritime and territorial empire, the lagoon city was increasingly eclipsed in the sixteenth century, economically and culturally, by the Ottomans and other emerging European powers. In response, Venetian writers employed the cultural strategy of using images of the New World to assert the importance of the Venetian past. Such images served to assuage their insecurities and shore up images of Venetian superiority.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eLittle is known about Giulio Ballino, Italian humanist and scholar who compiled the work and wrote the text. He was an associate of Paolo Manuzio (1512-1574), who mentions him in correspondence in the 1560s as working for him in various capacities, including corrector and editor. Ballino's literary activity was primarily as a popularizer, translating many Greek philosophical and theological works into Italian.

He worked for both companies, teaching the art of navigation and helping to maintain their collections of hydrographic manuscripts and charts, some of which included Spanish portolans (nautical charts) of the West Indies. In the mid-1660s, assisted by his access to these collections, he became the first Dutch cartographer to publish a set of large scale navigational charts of the North American coastline and West Indies. Later, he would publish similar charts detailing the coast of West Africa. Many of Roggeveen's maps are based upon the earlier work of Hessel Gerritsz (1581 - 1632) and Joan Vingboons (1616 - 1670), both cartographers for the Dutch East and West India Companies; however, Roggeveen was the first to show the whole coastline of both North America and the Caribbean.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Antiquarium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":34076037382283,"sku":"233093","price":22000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0389\/6416\/6795\/products\/233093Coastofthewestindies1680Antiquemapoldmapoldmapsantiquemapsvintagemapseuropeanmapsamericanmapsdecorativemapsoldcartographymapmakers.jpg?v=1619730192"},{"product_id":"map-of-the-southwestern-railway-system-missouri-pacific-railroad-c-1885","title":"Map of the Southwestern Railway System...: Rand, McNally \u0026 Co., c. 1885","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTitle:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eMap of the Southwestern Railway System...\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/strong\u003eRand, McNally \u0026amp; Co.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDate: \u003c\/strong\u003ec. 1885\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: \u003c\/strong\u003eVery Good - age toning, light wear and discoloration along issued folding, areas of surface dirt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInches: \u003c\/strong\u003e39 1\/2 x 24 1\/2 [Paper]\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentimeters: \u003c\/strong\u003e100.33 x 62.23 [Paper]\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct ID: \u003c\/strong\u003e307016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThis is a large-format, late 19th-century promotional railroad map titled \"Map of the Southwestern Railway System Missouri Pacific,\" showing the full network of the Missouri Pacific and associated lines across the southern and central United States.

Rand opened a Chicago print shop, hiring Irish immigrant Andrew McNally as a printer two years later. They established a relationship with the Chicago Tribune’s predecessor, soon taking over its printing operation in full. Eventually, in 1868 Rand, McNally, and Rand’s nephew George Amos Poole bought out the Tribune and founded Rand, McNally \u0026amp; Co. Now with significant printing experience under their belt, the three men embarked on several publishing endeavors, capitalizing on the massive success of Chicago’s railroad industry by printing tickets, timetables, and railroad guides.

The Southern Pacific Company was founded in San Francisco in 1865 by a group of businessmen led by Timothy Phelps, but it's origins lie in an earlier railroad system constructed by the Houston and Texas Central Railway. That company was chartered in 1848 by Ebenezer Allen of Galveston, but did not become active until 1852 when ground was broken by Paul Bremond and Thomas William House. The Railroad gradually expanded throughout Texas, reaching Austin and Corsicana in 1871 and Dallas in 1872. In 1873, the Railroad was linked with the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad \"to form the first all-rail route from Texas to St. Louis and the East\" (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tshaonline.org\/handbook\/online\/articles\/eqh09\"\u003eTSHA Online\u003c\/a\u003e). \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in 0in 12.0pt 0in;\"\u003eOn the map's reverse are time tables and rates for various routes and services. One notable inclusion is an advertisement for the famous Sunset Route (later known as the \"Sunset Limited\"). Linking New Orleans to Los Angeles, the Sunset Route was one of only three transcontinental rail routes. As the southernmost route (the others starting in Chicago and St. Louis), it was the only reliable all-season option. The Sunset Limited stills runs today, making it the oldest named train in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis map was creating using the wax engraving process, which involved engraving an image onto an extremely thin layer of wax. The engraved wax would then be \"built up\" and electroplated to form a reusable printing plate. It could take more than 100 of these plates to make a single map. The wax engraving method was widely used for map printing in the U. S. in the 19th century because \"the technique easily allowed line and text in the same image\" (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cool.culturalheritage.org\/coolaic\/sg\/bpg\/annual\/v18\/bp18-13.html\" style=\"font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;\"\u003eCulturalHeritage.org\u003c\/a\u003e). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaps like there would have guided our ancestors through the steel web that had only recently made interstate travel convenient and (relatively) safe.

Colton Company in 1831. Though he did not come from a cartographic or engraving background, Colton licensed copyrights from other cartographers such as David H. Burr and Samuel Stiles, producing quality reprints with additional engraving and border detail. After ten years of operating with this business model, Colton branched out to produce original maps, and by the 1850s had grown his company into a booming cartographic firm. Though the Colton Company published a variety of cartographic materials such as guidebooks and atlases, it is perhaps best known for its railroad maps. Distinguished by their elaborate decorative borders, Colton maps were printed using engraved steel plates which, though more costly than wax engravings, produced higher-quality images. These maps were then hand-colored by watercolor artists, resulting in slight irregularities which reflect the documents’ unique history and individualized production.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eNotable moments in Colton’s career include winning a high-profile lawsuit against the government of Bolivia, by whom he had been hired to produce some 2,500 maps of the region in 1857.

In 1688, Coronelli issued this map, \u003cem\u003eAmerica Settentrionale\u003c\/em\u003e, at the time the most up-to-date chart of North America ever produced. As official geographer of the Republic of Venice, Coronelli had state-of-the-art printing technology at his disposal, allowing him to create beautiful and technically-accurate charts.

Coronelli's \u003cem\u003eAmerica Settentrionale\u003c\/em\u003e reflects these adjustments, and his international stature helped to cement them within the field of cartography. However, Coronelli mislabeled the location of the Mississippi river, locating it in the middle of present-day Texas (600 miles too far west). This proved an enduring error, causing the Spanish great concern while LaSalle‘s ill-fated mission to colonize at the mouth of the Mississippi was still understood to be in progress.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOther potential inaccuracies or confusions: Coronelli shows an apocryphal peninsula to the south of Cape Cod, and depicts California as an island with a coastal mountain range (as shown in the 1635 Luke Foxe configuration).

His association with Dutch businessman and entrepreneur Gilles Hoffman provided an introduction to the influential and prolific publisher Christopher Plantin and the brilliant Gerard Mercator. Mercator was, of course, one of the most talented and exacting cartographers of the time. With increasing demand for accurate maps from commercial enterprises, Ortelius decided to assemble the best available maps, rework them into a standardized size and format, and issue them (with appropriate credit to the authors) as one new atlas, the \u003cem\u003eTheatrum Orbis Terrarium\u003c\/em\u003e.

Sanson’s 1656 map of New Mexico and Florida, the first significant map printed in an atlas to depict the present-day American southwest, stands as a groundbreaking achievement of great importance to the Trans-Mississippi region. It represents the best information available to seventeenth-century Europeans about the greater Texas region, demonstrating how little was known about the area prior to Spanish mission expansions within the Southwest. Sanson locates a few Indian tribes in the Texas region, but the area's river system (including the Mississippi) remains clearly unknown and undescribed. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor many years, this map served as a prototype for California’s depiction as an island; though Sanson popularized this outline, his prestige and credibility contributing to its longevity, its source was Luke Foxe’s map of the Arctic regions of North America (pub. 1635). Sanson contributed a number of new place names to locations within the New Mexico region, a vast area ranging from the Pacific Ocean to the west, the Florida territory to the east, and Canada to the north. He also perpetuated several traditional errors, such as the placement of Cibola and Quivira, and he contributed some new ones such as showing the Rio Del Norte flowing into the Gulf of California. Despite its shortcomings, this map remains an extraordinary document of the cultural and geographical resources available at the time to learned Europeans.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBorn in 1600, Sanson exhibited in his earliest years a special aptitude towards and interest in geography. His profound skills and tireless work ethic established him as a world leader in cartographic production, earning him the title of Royal Geographer to King Louis XIII by the age of forty. He and his disciples rejected the Dutch tendency towards heavy ornamentation in the drawing of maps; instead, they emphasized only verifiable information. As a result, their maps accurately reflect the extent of available information about exploration and discovery. The French school of cartography, with Sanson as its de facto leader, dominated the global map trade for over 100 years.\u003cem\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Antiquarium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39370881597579,"sku":"315100","price":7500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0389\/6416\/6795\/products\/37SansonleNouveauMexiqueetlaFloride.jpg?v=1622234339"},{"product_id":"pas-kaart-van-de-golff-van-mexico-keulen-c-1684","title":"Pas Kaart Van de Golff van Mexico: Van Keulen 1695","description":"\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\" itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTitle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pas Kaart Van de Golff van Mexico\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Johannes van Keulen\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e 1695\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMedium:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e C\u003c\/span\u003eopperplate engraving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Very Good Plus - evenly age toned, marginal tide marking, dust soiling, a few unobtrusive stains.

Van Keulen derived the map's geography from an earlier, exceedingly rare Hessel Gerritsz chart (published c. 1631). Because the region had not undergone significant cartographic developments for a period, all place names hail from earlier Spanish charts and maps. Cabo Escondido most likely relates to Cape San Blas near the site of Apalachicola, while the Baja de Spiritu Sancto represents the mouth of the Mississippi River and the inset at lower left show the waters of Vera Cruz.

The map represents the popular mid-seventeenth-century European conception of the continent, with a good general outline that lacked internal details. Although great progress had been made in mapping the Northeast with the explorations of Henry Hudson and Samuel de Champlain, the lack of information in the Southwest reflected the Spanish lack of consolidation in their New World realm, as well as their reluctance to convey what knowledge they did have to the world at large. Jansson was an extremely influential publisher, and this depiction of the continent indicates the best in contemporary cartography during the period prior to the great French cartographer Nicolas Sanson.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Mississippi, which had not yet been fully explored, appears as a large network of small rivers emptying into the Baya de la Sp. Santo, located far to the west of the river’s actual mouth. The place names along the Texas coast are the same as those shown by Ortelius over fifteen years earlier, while a fanciful image of a buffalo obscures the lack of any interior detail. The Real de Nueva Espana, representing the site of Santa Fe, is carefully situated in the upper course of the Rio Del Norte; however, that river, confused with the Colorado of the west, is shown emptying into what should be the Gulf of California. California itself is depicted as an island, a popular misconception which adorned maps of North America for more than a century beginning in 1622. A legend in the northwest portion of the map assigns the origin of this aberration to a Spanish map captured by the Dutch. The legend, along with the title cartouche, cover the complete absence of any depiction of the Northwest coast.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1604, Jodocus Hondius, an Amsterdam map and instrument maker with a reputation for his magnificent wall maps, purchased the plates to Gerard Mercator‘s Atlas. Within two years, he had issued new editions of the great master’s works, continuing to publish updated and expanded versions of the Atlas for a number of years. When Hondius died in 1612, his flourishing publishing house was inherited jointly by his sons Jodocus II and Henricus, and by his son-in-law Jan Jansson. These three continued to expand and issue editions of the \u003cem\u003eAtlas\u003c\/em\u003e, and in 1635 began planning for a totally new work. In 1638, Jansson assumed control of the firm and issued his \u003cem\u003eAtlas Novus\u003c\/em\u003e, which, though based on Mercator's concepts, was executed according to Jansson’s own ideas. The new work enjoyed a reputation almost equal to that of Mercator‘s, and continued to be published after Jansson’s death in 1664.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Antiquarium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39370948542603,"sku":"315102","price":5500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0389\/6416\/6795\/products\/40AmericaSeptentrionalisJansson.jpg?v=1622239723"},{"product_id":"amerique-septentrionale-mariette-1650","title":"Amerique Septentrionale: Sanson 1650 [1659]","description":"\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\" itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTitle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Amerique Septentrionale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Nicolas Sanson\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e 1650 [1659]\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMedium:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Hand-colored c\u003c\/span\u003eopperplate engraving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Very Good Plus - lovely example, original outline color, mild marginal age toning, more noticeable on verso.

Nicolas Sanson (1600-1667) played a seminal role in advancing French cartography during the reign of Louis XIV. Sanson was a student of history, and turned to cartography as a means of understanding and recording global events. Appointed as a tutor to Louis XIV, he became Géographe Oridinaire du Roi in 1630. His success was due in large part to his partnership with Pierre Mariette, who had purchased the stock of Melchoir Tavernier and provided financial support to Sanson. In 1657, Pierre Mariette died. His son, also named Pierre, co-published the following year. By 1665, Sanson’s sons, Adrien (d. 1708) and Guillaume (d. 1703), were active in the business, and ultimately succeeded him as geographers to the King.

The Relation relayed the first account of Niagara Falls, and described Lake Superior and Lake Michigan in great detail. The accuracy of Sanson's depiction of New France would remain unchallenged until the great 1688 Coronelli map.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Antiquarium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39370998055051,"sku":"315103","price":8500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0389\/6416\/6795\/products\/MarietteAmeriqueSeptentrionale.jpg?v=1622240017"},{"product_id":"lamerique-septentrionale-de-lisle-1700-c-1708","title":"L'Amerique Septentrionale: De L'Isle 1700 [c. 1708]","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"text-align: center;\" itemprop=\"description\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTitle:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e L'Amerique Septentrionale\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAuthor:\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" mce-data-marked=\"1\"\u003eClaude, Guillaume De L'Isle\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e 1700 [c. 1708]\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMedium:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Hand-colored copperplate engraving\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCondition: \u003c\/strong\u003eVery Good Plus - light age toning and foxing, refreshed color, minor wear along issued center fold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eInches:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e 27 x 19 7\/8 [Paper]\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCentimeters:\u003c\/strong\u003e 68.58 x 50.48 \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e[Paper]\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eProduct ID:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e316055\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eC. 1708 fifth state of \u003cem\u003eL’Amerique Septentrionale\u003c\/em\u003e by Claude De L’Isle (1644-1720) and his son Guillaume (1675-1726). This map of North America (first state published 1700) proved foundational for future cartographic efforts in the region. In 1984, first-state examples of each significant De L’Isle map of the Americas were unearthed in an Austrian private collection. This discovery revealed the map which experts had long regarded as the first state of \u003cem\u003eL’Amerique Septentrionale\u003c\/em\u003e to be in actuality the second state.

The map also notes regional distinctions between larger Native tribes; for example, present-day Texas contains \u003cem\u003eApaches Peuples Vagabonds [Wandering Apache Peoples], Apaches de navaio, Apaches del perillo, Apaches de Xila, \u003c\/em\u003eand\u003cem\u003e Apaches Vaqueros [Horsemen Apaches].\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe second state of \u003cem\u003eL’Amerique Septentrionale\u003c\/em\u003e became the first chart to correctly place the mouth of the Mississippi at 284° longitude from the Ferro Meridian. While the De L’Isles positioned Florida too far to the west, overcompensating for locating it too far eastward in the map’s first state, they accurately placed the Chesapeake Bay 8° westward from its first-state location. Additionally, the Wabash River correctly appears as a tributary to the Ohio River.

However, unlike Coronelli, the De L’Isles show California as a peninsula (though an uncertain one, as demonstrated by a lack of inland details). The map hints at the possibility of a second Californian peninsula, illustrating the opening of a second, smaller gulf which quickly fades into oblivion moving inland.

Humboldt spent nearly a year in present-day Mexico from 1803-1804, capping off a five-year trip which he began in 1799. Born into an elite Berlin family, Humboldt desired to devote his life to science, a calling which he recognized from a young age. He studied diligently at the University of Göttingen before going on to work in the German civil services. His journey to the New World, entirely self-financed, was the culmination of this devotion to scientific study. Without political agenda, he sought to systematically categorize all aspects of the natural world there that he possibly could, documenting the region in a manner never before attempted. To accomplish this goal, Humboldt engaged in an immense array of activities, from inspecting silver mines and summiting volcanoes to exploring Spanish colonial archives and visiting Mesoamerican cultural sites. Upon his return to Europe, Humboldt penned his \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePolitical Essay on the Kingdom of New Spain \u003c\/em\u003e(1811), the first systematic scientific description of the New World.

His findings prompted a surge of European interest in Mexico, and encouraged many people, particularly artists, to journey there themselves.

One of the cartographers who contributed to this phenomenon was Thomas Jefferys (c. 1719-1771), Royal Geographer to King George III. We know little of his background, save that he married in 1750 and seemed to identify primarily as an engraver, rather than as a geographer. In 1766 he went bankrupt, which gave publisher Robert Sayer the opportunity to purchase a large portion of Jefferys’ materials and plates. Following this setback, Jefferys did continue to publish maps in partnership with the younger William Faden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIronically, many of Jefferys’ maps which have proved lastingly significant, such as this one, were published by Sayer and his business partner John Bennett; this piece appeared four years after Jefferys’ death in their 1775 \u003cem\u003eWest India Atlas.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMap shows the present-day Texas coast lacking much internal detail save for the region’s various river systems and bays.

It showed the full extent of the Republic of Texas’s territorial claims (the so-called “stovepipe” configuration), and was the first chart to correctly delineate the boundaries set on December 19, 1836 by the Texas Congress. Emory’s robust depiction of Texas proved instrumental in garnering support for its annexation, as the idea of adding such a substantial stretch of territory to the United States appealed to many Americans. Inadvertently, the map also bolstered popular support for James K. Polk, who centered his presidential platform in the election of 1844 around Texas’s annexation. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEmory’s map shows most of the present-day southwestern United States and northern Mexico, and marks longitude from both the Greenwich and Washington Meridians. He labels the routes taken by the various explorers listed in the map’s bottom left corner, and also indicates the locations of cities, forts, major roads and trails, Native peoples, and topographical features such as Pike’s Peak. Many small Texas towns appear for the first time on this map. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThough Emory had never personally visited Texas, he relied on source material provided by the Corps of Topographical Engineers in Washington.

In an attempt to synthesize such an array of sources, Emory often encountered conflicting information; most of his errors stem from efforts to reconcile these differences. In an attempt to remedy possible mistakes, he includes lengthy annotations listing his sources, explaining his decisions, and presenting alternate cartographic interpretations.

Printed on low-quality paper in order to save costs, these maps required their paper backing in order to hold up over the course of long sea voyages. Even so, due to their frequent use, the examples that survive today are quite rare. Expensive and labor-intensive to produce, these first appeared in late-eighteenth century London and became immensely popular by the early-nineteenth century. The convention of blue paper backing soon became common practice for publishers of other nationalities. The use of Bluebacks continued until the mid-nineteenth century, when government agencies began to issue their charts on higher-quality paper which did not require reinforcement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCaribbean islands depicted include Cuba, the Bahamas, and Turks \u0026amp; Caicos.

Born in the county of Durham, Arrowsmith moved to London around 1770 and set up shop as a surveyor, engraver, and publisher. By 1790, he had established himself with the publication of a large world map based on the Mercator Projection. While the largest work he produced over the course of his career was an 1822 map of Southern India printed on eighteen sheets, his \u003cem\u003eChart of the Pacific Ocean\u003c\/em\u003e published in 1798 stands as his most highly-regarded work. Arrowsmith also published maps of America and the United States, which Meriwether Lewis studied in great detail prior to leading the Corps of Discovery expedition (1803-1806) with William Clark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArrowsmith’s reputation as a cartographer lies mostly with his large scale maps which he would periodically revise and reissue based on the latest cartographic discoveries. However, he also published smaller maps, as well as a few atlases. In 1810, he was awarded the position of Hydrographer to the Prince of Wales (later King George IV) and upon the Prince’s ascension to the throne in 1820 became Hydrographer to His Majesty. His work was noted for its precision, accuracy, and reliability. Following Arrowsmith’s death, the firm carried on under the leadership of his two sons Samuel and Aaron the younger, as well as his nephew John Arrowsmith.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArrowsmith’s \u003cem\u003eNew Map Of Mexico\u003c\/em\u003e shows the Pacific coast from Guatemala up to the California-Oregon border at the 42nd Parallel, and extends eastward to the mouth of the Mississippi. The map’s lower right quadrant contains two inset maps, one of the city of Veracruz and one of Acapulco, and its lower left quadrant features a larger inset of the ‘Valley of Mexico’ showing the environs of Lake Texcoco and Mexico City. Though the map’s text is written in English, a legend to the lower left explaining the use of various symbols appears in French, a holdover from Humboldt’s map (there are a few other instances of French text as well). Arrowsmith includes annotations throughout the map remarking on the region’s climate, history, and people, and notes significant expeditions which passed through the areas in question.

Though Humboldt (1769-1859) accused Arrowsmith of plagiarism, Arrowsmith’s depictions of the Northwest, the California coast, and the river systems of Texas were drawn from other cartographic sources such as Captain Vancouver, the explorer Zebulon Pike (1779-1813), and the Hudson’s Bay Company.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eA \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eNew Map\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eOf\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eMexico\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eAnd\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eAdjacent Provinces \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eCompiled From \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eOriginal Documents\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eBy A.

Spain jealously guarded the geographic knowledge of its massive New World empire, and rarely allowed general publications depicting the area. Usually only when her ships suffered piracy from those of the other European powers, and Spanish maps and charts were recovered, did Spain contribute meaningful knowledge to the cartography of the New World.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lack of information on maps such as this one reflected not only the official Spanish position concerning the information it wished shared, but also Spanish priorities in exploration and the consequent lack of interior investigations. Yet Spain did permit some compilation and distribution of information concerning the New World, with the best work done by Antonio de Herrera y Tordesillas, a well educated and capable scholar who had rare access to the archives of Spain as the first official historian of Castile and the Indies. Using great care and discretion, Herrera worked through the voluminous archives that document of the early decades of Spanish discovery and in 1601 published his monumental history of the New World through 1555.  The history included this simple but elegantly engraved map of North America.  An example of Herrera’s circumspection; the only place name to appear in North-Central America is Florida. The geography is largely derived from the manuscript charts of Juan López de Velasco. At least four of these have survived, one resides in the John Carter Brown library, Rhode Island.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHerrera was born in 1559, and after completing his education in Spain, he moved to Italy where he became secretary to Vespasiano de Gonzaga, viceroy of Naples. Herrera’s work led to his appointment by Philip II as historiographer of Castile in the Indies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Antiquarium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39404646465675,"sku":"317000","price":2300.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0389\/6416\/6795\/products\/28DescripciondelasYndiasdelNorte.jpg?v=1625076566"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0389\/6416\/6795\/collections\/mexico.png?v=1618592586","url":"https:\/\/theantiquarium.com\/collections\/mexico\/1800s.oembed?page=2","provider":"The Antiquarium Antique Maps | Quality Custom Picture Framing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
