Note
A composite of two maps that De Fer published separately but also appeared joined together to show the entire course of the Mississippi River. From Ruderman: "De Fer's 2 sheet map is one of the most important maps of the region and one of the earliest maps to incorporate the reports of Jesuit missionaries and explorers active in the early 18th Century. De Fer's map is perhaps the most important and influential regional map of the period, providing significantly updated cartographic information in a number of regions. The map is the first printed map to provide the updated treatment of the Mississippi River later made famous by De L'Isle in his Carte de la Louisiane et du cours du Missisipi. . . (pre-dating De L'Isle's map) , the first to include the updated information along the Gulf Coast transmitted to France by Francoise Le Maire and the first to incorporate the revised and improved mapping of the Great Lakes derived from Jesuit missionary sources in the north. While its cartographic details rival the contemporary maps of Guillaume De L'Isle for primacy, De Fer's map was almost certainly the more influential work at the time it was published, having been commissioned by John Law's Compagnie d'Occident (Company of the West), to provide a graphic depiction of the vast and rich commercial potential of French Louisiana, for which commercial rights had just been ceded to Law's Company of the West. De Fer first began work on his map in 1715, when he issued his La Riviere de Missisipi, et ses Environs, dans l'Amerique Septentrionale ..., based upon a 1701 manuscript map by Guillaume De L'Isle . The 1715 map is essentially the proof state for the lower half of the 2-sheet map, lacking the internal embellishments intended to demonstrate the wealth of the region. With the founding of John Law's Company of the West and Law's being granted by the King of France the rights to commercial control of Louisiana in August 1717, Law commenced an advertising and promotional campaign to attract investors for his new company. A visual tool was undoubtedly needed to help potential investors understand the scope and commercial potential of France's holdings in Louisiana. To fill the need, De Fer was commissioned to create such a map.

Note
Composite of all four sheets. Alaska inset; 59 "authorities"; This copy consists of four separate sheets, unjoined. Similar to our case map copy 2919.000 (the Streeter copy). Wheat: "one of the great American maps, and one profoundly influential." The final revision of the original Warren map of 1857; largely redrawn, in substance, and style of hachuring. An earlier state of the same imprint is described in Streeter 3080. See Wheeler vol 1 reference. In 1879 Freyhold issued another larger version of this map (Wheat 1295) (see our copy). Without color.

Wyld, James, 1812-1887
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 ..."

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.

Melish, John
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.

Lloyd, H.H.
Note
Interesting combination of two separately published maps in one pocket map folder. When opened side by side they form a complete map of the U.S. on the same scale, a western half and an eastern half. The western map is of greater interest - Wheat calls the 1865 edition "a worthwhile map, and a good deal more enlightening than the 1865 production of the General Land Office, 'Map of the Public Land States and Territories.'" Wheat mentions that the 1865 edition does not show Boise City - the 1866 edition does, which probably means there were other updates made for this edition. The copyright date on this map is 1862, but we can find no record of that edition, only the 1865 edition. Wheat and Phillips list Bourquin as the lithographer, but his name is removed on this edition. The influence of Bancroft's Map of the Pacific States is strong. In the west this is a very impressive map, and in the east there is the normal overabundance of detail typical of Lloyd's work. An interesting and useful feature of both the east and west maps is the inclusion in many counties of their date of organization (first time we have seen this). Both maps are folded into dark brown cloth covers 16x11.5 with "H.H. Lloyd & Co.'s New County Map Of The United States." stamped in gold. Outline color by state.

Colton, G.W. & C.B.
Note
A very late edition of and reformatting of a Colton "standard" U.S. In two halves, unjoined. Entered in 1884, this is an entirely new map of the U.S., still using the title used since 1850. The hachuring is particularly detailed, probably influenced by Freyhold's map of 1879. A former owner has inked in some railroad routes in the west. Full color by state. Map is folded into dark brown cloth covers 20.5x10 stamped with "Colton's Map Of The United States. G.W. & C.B. Colton & Co., New York." in gilt. Prime meridians are Greenwich and Washington D.C.

Blanchard, Rufus
Note
First map of the U.S. engraved in Chicago (Karrow). Printed both sides (eastern half and western half). Inset map of a 1795 map of the western territories, several vignettes, and an inset map of the world. Public land surveys and mineral deposits shown. Scarce. Also published in a larger version without the printing on both sides (see Blanchard catalogue). Blanchard has copied almost exactly (he does say "compiled from government maps" but he should say "copied") the U.S. General Land Office "Map of the Public Land States and Territories" 1867 edition. Some additions are made, i.e. the Black Hills are drawn in and Wyoming is shown as "proposed" but basically it is the same map. Full color. Folded into dark brown stamped cloth covers 15.5x10 with "Cabinet Map of the United States and Territories." in gilt.
