1775WRCAM54968London: Printed for R. Sayer & J. Bennett 1775. Copper-engraved map with original color. Two insets along the right side titled "Plan of Boston Harbour from an Actual Survey" and "Plan of the Town of Boston with the Attack on Bunker's Hill in the Peninsula of Charlestown." Plate mark: 18 1/4 x 21 1/2 inches. Sheet size: 21 1/4 x 27 1/4 inches. Expertly conserved with a few instances of renewed color. In very good condition with large margins. A rare and dramatic Revolutionary war map of New England showing George Washington's troops marching on British-occupied Boston with a large inset plan of the Battle of Bunker Hill showing Charlestown in flames: among the earliest pictorial representations of the Battle of Bunker Hill. This copy is printed on a large full sheet with ample margins. <br> <br> Published by Sayer & Bennett shortly after news of the Battle of Bunker Hill reached London the map celebrates the British victory in the battle but gives a portent of the impending siege of Boston and the eventual Battle of Dorchester Heights. The general map of New England provides a backdrop for illustrations of American troops most notably including the "march of General Washington" in western Massachusetts but also showing militia marching from New Hampshire Connecticut and Rhode Island all converging on Boston. Two smaller insets along the right side of the map each printed from a separate plate depict a general plan of Boston Harbor and a plan of Boston and Charlestown showing the Battle of Bunker Hill. <br> <br> This latter inset is quite dramatic and of great significance. Charlestown is shown under attack by British forces with the town in flames as British warships bombard it from the water and a British battery fires across the Charles River from Cornhill in Boston; the locations of the British and American forces on Breed's Hill are shown as the two armies face each other in battle. In Boston a large encampment of British regulars is shown on Boston Commons surrounding the Liberty tree. The inset would later be re- engraved and used in Newcastle and Boston editions of Murray's IMPARTIAL HISTORY OF THE WAR. <br> <br> It is believed that the inset is a graphic representation of information on the battle derived from a June 25 1775 letter written by General Burgoyne to Lord Stanley: <br> <br> ".Howe's corps ascending the hill in the face of entrenchments and in a very disadvantageous ground was much engaged; and to the left the enemy pouring in fresh troops by the thousands over the land; and in the arm of the sea our ships and floating batteries cannonading them: straight before us a large and noble town in one great blaze; the church steeples being of timber were great pyramids of fire above the rest.the whole a picture and a complication of horror and importance beyond any thing that ever came to my lot to be witness to." <br> <br> Sayer and Bennett published this letter as a broadside on November 27 1775 nearly two months after this inset illustrating it with a different plan of the battle. <br> <br> The earliest cartographic representation of the Battle of Bunker Hill is an August 1 1775 plan published by Jefferys and Faden titled "A Sketch of the Action between British Forces and the American Provincials on the Heights of the Peninsula of Charlestown." That map however purely shows military movements. The inset to the present map is the second printed plan of the battle and considered to be the first pictorial representation. This map was produced on September 2 1775 a scant two- and-a-half months after the crucially important actions it depicts. It is remarkable that such detailed news was transmitted from New England to London and published in such a magnificent cartographic representation in so brief a period of time. Not in Nebenzahl's ATLAS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION which reproduces a later version of the inset on page 55 or Phillips. <br> <br> An exciting important rare and early map of the American Revolution.

A charming anonymous image from the collection of Frederic R. Halsey 1847-1918 'un des principaux collectionneurs de son èpoque à New York' Lugt 1308<br/> <br/>The image of a fashionably-dressed young lady reclining by a brook being approached by a young gentleman is explained by the engraved verse by 'Mr. Nicholl' in the title area beneath the image: Alone by the side of a murmuring rill / That lav'd the gay foot of a primrosy hill / Pastora beneath a broad poplar was laid / When Damon in extasy enter'd the Shade / He sigh'd & he swore by the pow'rs overhead / If she'd bless him to day to morrow he'd wed.

The Holster Atlas was issued at the suggestion of Governor George Pownall and included the "maps that the British high command regarded as providing essential topographical information in the most convenient form" Schwartz & Ehrenberg.<br/> <br/>This collection of maps was published by Sayer and Bennet at the beginning of the Revolution for the use of British officers. "Surveys and Topographical Charts being fit only for a Library such maps as an Officer may take with him into the Field have been much wanted. The following Collection forms a Portable Atlas of North America calculated in its Bulk and Price to suit the Pockets of Officers of all Ranks" Advertisement. Although the publishers claimed the atlas would fit into an officer's pocket it was more usually carried in a holster and thus gained its nick-name. The six maps are as follows: 1. DUNN Samuel.
