Melish, John
Note
Composite image with all linen breaks removed. The last edition of Melish's map of the United States, first published in 1816, and the 25th state identified by Martin/Ristow. This edition has the three additional sheets at the bottom of the map (added in the second state of the 1822 edition) that expand the coverage of Mexico and the West Indies. Compared to the first 1816 edition, there are many changes in the Great Plains area of the U.S. (that first appeared in the 1822 edition) based on Long's Map of 1822 (although Melish does not mention Long in his preface to the Geographical Description edition of 1822). Ristow (A la Carte) says there are no changes between between the 1823 edition and the second state of the 1822 edition, other than the change in publisher and date. Outline color by state or territory. The map is dissected into 50 sections, backed with linen, and edged in white silk. It folds into a new dark blue cloth folding case 25x17 with black ties; the spine is embossed with "Map Of The United States. John Melish. 1823" in gold.

Note
Composite of dissected map. With insets of the West Indies and a Statistical Table. This map has the distinction of being the first large scale detailed map made in the U.S. that showed the entire country from the Atlantic to the Pacific. This copy is an early state of the first edition -this is Martin's third state of the first edition and Ristow's fourth state (Ristow discovered a town and trail added in Ohio - Adelphi - making for a sub state of Martin's third state). The first state was an incomplete proof copy, making this the second/third state of the completed copy. The differences between this and the first complete state are small: Mansfield, Wooster, and Adelphi (and a trail from Adelphi to Athens and Chillicothe) added in Ohio, and "Vevay or" added before "Swiss Vineyards" in southeastern Indiana. Martin and Ristow identify seven states of the 1816 edition. Melish published new editions in 1818 (five states), 1819 (two states), 1820 (eight states), 1822 (two states), and 1823 (one state) for a total of twenty five different issues. Notwithstanding the many issues, the map has become extremely rare. A book accompanied the map (though issued separately) titled "A Geographical Description of the United States..." (see our #2424). Outline color by state or territory. This copy is dissected into 40 sections, backed with linen, and edged in brown cloth. It folds with marbled end sheets into new blue cloth folding boards and slip case 24.5x16.5 with leather label on spine reading "Melish. Map Of The United States. 1816" in gold.

Greenough, George Bellas, (1778-1855)
Note
Greenough first published this map in 1820, then this second edition in 1839, and a final third posthumous edition in 1865. Greenough drew heavily on William Smith's Geological map of England and Wales but did not credit him until the third edition. There are several differences between the Greenough and Smith maps: Greenough delineates the topography and Smith does not, and Greenough's scale is 6 miles to the inch vs Smith at 5 miles to the inch. There were also differences underlying the geology of both maps. Greenough made significant revisions to this second edition and to the final third edition. Following the publication of the first 1820 edition, there was a continuing dispute between Greenough and Smith as to Greenough's uncredited use of Smith's map. The N.E. sheet is from a different copy as is the Index of Colours which was both pasted on the map in some copies and issued separately in others - both are present here. Although it appears that the index of colors that is pasted onto the W. Sheet of this copy is an early version of the index of colors that appears on the 1865 third edition. It does not actually represent the colors used on the map so may have been added afterwards, incorrectly. The separate sheet Index of Colours is the correct index for colors in this second edition.

Codazzi, Agustin, 1793-1859
Note
Four dissected sheets of a circa 1920 reproduction of Codazzi's map of 1840, printed in London in facsimile by Sifton Praed. The original map was issued simultaneously with Codazzi's Atlas Fisico y Politico de la Republica de Venezuela (1840) (see our 5226.000) and uses the same title block and map pages from the atlas, but here joined to form a very large map, also extended in a few places. Both the original map and this reproduction are very rare with one copy of the original known in OCLC. The atlas version is the first national atlas of a South American country listed in Phillips. It is also an early example of the use of lithography in atlases, predating the first North American lithographed atlas (Mitchell) by six years.

Note
This is the James Wyld reissue of William Faden's original 1807 edition of this map (see our 6388.000), updated in some areas showing the new railroads as of about 1860, hence the date estimated at 1860 - there is no date on the map. A huge map comprising 8 printed sheets, here assembled into four large dissected sheets. This was probably the final edition. Faden had issued a second and possibly third edition before Wyld took over the Faden map business in 1823. Six different scales provided. A compilation based on many reputable sources, as itemized on the South East sheet. Relief shown in hachures.

Note
Composite of north and south sheets. Dissected in north and south sheets, each in 30 sections. This map is a reduction and reissue of Wyld's famous 1824 Map of North America (Stevens and Tree 63 - four editions from 1824 to 1856) - it does not have the top sheet showing the Arctic, it moves the title from the lower left to middle right (and changes title of course), and it updates some of the western geography, showing the Tule Lakes in California, Fremont's or South Pass, Fts Hall and Boise and the Oregon Trail. However, it keeps the outdated topography of the Great Basin and California used in the 1824 edition - the two large rivers running from the interior of the basin to the Pacific, and the mountain ranges running almost east to west instead of north to south in the basin. Nonetheless, it is a very beautiful map in the best of Wyld's cartographic style. Two insets in the lower right and left, of North America and Islands in the Pacific Ocean (both of which appear in the small General Atlas). Map comes from the family of Kit Carson's clerk. Has paste down catalogue. Wheat 658 (1849) is listed in our copy of Radford's Catalogue, 1975. Though smaller, it is likely derived from this map. With outline color. Sheets fold with marbled end sheets into original brown cloth slip case 25x15.5 with label reading "Canada Mexico &c. United States" (ms) and "James Wyld, Geographer To Her Majesty. Charing Cross, East ..."

Note
This is Arrowsmith's largest scale map of India, with the exception of his Atlas of South India map sheets. The detail is extensive. In a Note under the title Arrowsmith says "For the great additions and improvements in this republication of the Map of India I have to express my grateful thanks for the great assistance I have received." (He then lists a number of people and companies that provided data to him). The earlier version of the Map of India published in 1804 was smaller in size - see our 6916.000.

Note
This is the first issue of this map; a second edition was published in 1816 (see our 6706.000), which was updated to show the new boundaries resulting from the Treaty of Paris of November 1815. This 1812 edition has the pre treaty boundaries, which are most evident along the boundary of Germany and France. "Arrowsmith was soon recognized in Britain and abroad as a cartographer of outstanding accuracy and skill and was accorded the title of hydrographer to the prince regent about 1810 and that of hydrographer to the king in 1820. His maps were in great demand by official bodies such as the Admiralty and, more surprisingly given their great size and hence cost, with the public as well. In 1807 he published his map of Scotland, based on the military survey of Scotland of 1745-55 and of particular interest for the accompanying Memoir (1809) in which he described how he constructed the map. His last major work was his map of India (1822). He engraved and printed many of his own maps and all of those produced in his shop (at 10 Soho Square from 1814) were noted for the functional beauty and simplicity with which they were engraved" (Elizabeth Baigent for DNB). Two flaps extend the map to northern Italy.

Note
Large and important map of India in six sheets, joined and dissected onto three sheets.It shows British controlled areas at the turn of the century. Arrowsmith published an even larger version of the map in 1816: "With the growing influence of the British in India at the end of the eighteenth century, the need for an up-to-date general map of the sub-continent grew. The first Governor-General, Warren Hastings, employed Major Rennell who, in 1779, published his famous Bengal Atlas, followed up in 1788 by his map of India. The map itself was based upon D'Anville's map of 1752, though enriched by much new material, supplied by the numerous "route surveys" carried out by the army. As these "route surveys" began to become more numerous and accurate the need for a new general map of India soon became apparent. In 1816 Aaron Arrowsmith published his Map of India in nine sheets, on a scale of sixteen miles to an inch, which was the last great general map based on route surveys. His subsequent Atlas of South India, published in 1822, was based upon the trigonometrical surveys of Colonel Lambton, filled in by the officers of the Madras Institute."

Note
All four sheets joined as one. Four sheets, dissected and mounted on linen. The title cartouche is a view of the Iron Bridge over the Severn River at Coalbrookdale, which opened in 1781, the world's first arch bridge made out of cast iron. The map is dedicated to the famous English naturalist Joseph Banks (with his oval portrait, not shown on later states of the map) who was the botanist on Cook's first circumnavigation, and was involved with the Vancouver voyages and William Bligh's breadfruit mission. This map shows Arrowsmith's dense cartographic style used in areas where the landscape was known (Europe) as contrasted to his sparse style where much of the landscape was unknown (Americas, Africa).
