178120210London: J. F. W. Des Barres for 'The Atlantic Neptune' 1781. Etched with aquatint and stippling. Some outline color. Platemark: 29 1/4 x 21 3/8 inches; sheet: 32 3/4 x 24 3/4 inches. Laid paper watermarked "J. Bates" with counter mark "J.B." A meticulous survey of a portion of the eastern coast of New Brunswick on the Northumberland Straits with soundings and topographical detailing.<br/> <br/> This chart which appeared in Volume II of The Atlantic Neptune was part of the surveying work conducted by Des Barres himself in the late 1760s and early 1770s. The first state was issued in 1776; this enhanced second state appeared in 1779. Des Barres of Swiss-Huguenot extraction studied under the great mathematician Daniel Bernoulli at the University of Basel before continuing on to the Royal Military College at Woolwich. Upon the outbreak of hostilities with France in 1756 he joined the British Royal American Regiment as a military engineer. He came to the attention of General James Wolfe who appointed him to join his personal detail. During this period he also worked with the future legendary explorer James Cook on a monumental chart of the St. Lawrence River. From 1762 Des Barres was enlisted to survey the coastlines of Nova Scotia Newfoundland and the Gulf of St. Lawrence while his colleague Samuel Holland charted the New England coast. He also managed to gain access to some surveys of the American South Cuba and Jamaica. In 1774 Des Barres returned to England where he began work on The Neptune. His dedication to the project was so strong that often at his own expense he continually updated and added new charts and views up until 1784. That year he returned to Canada where he remained for a further forty years becoming a senior political figure and a wealthy land owner and living to the advanced age of 103. The Atlantic Neptune the most celebrated sea atlas contained the first systematic survey of the east coast of North America. Des Barres's synergy of great empirical accuracy with the peerless artistic virtue of his aquatint views created a work that "has been described as the most splendid collection of charts plates and views ever published" National Maritime Museum Catalogue. Upon the conclusion of the Seven Years War Britain's empire in North America was greatly expanded and this required the creation of a master atlas featuring new and accurate sea charts for use by the Royal Navy. Des Barres was charged with this Herculean task publishing the first volume in London in 1775 which was soon followed by three further volumes. Des Barres's monumental endeavor eventually featured over two-hundred charts and views many being found in several states. Des Barres's charts were immensely detailed featuring both hydrographical and topographical information and in many cases remained the most authoritative maps of the regions covered for several decades.<br/> <br/> Stevens 72h.

177510833London 5th August 1775. 705 by 1040mm 27.75 by 41 inches. Large aquatint and etched engraving on two sheets joined unfolded and uncut with the LVG watermark together with pamphlet quarto 280 by 230mm original blue wrappers typographic title pp. 5-12 there are no pages 3-4 which agrees with the John Carter Brown example. The first state of one of the most important Revolutionary War illustrations of Boston and its approaches accompanied by the very rare 12 page pamphlet by George Callender entitled 'Nautical remarks and observations for the chart of the harbour of Boston'. Callendar was the Master of HMS Romney. Commissioned in 1762 she served extensively in North America arriving in Boston in May 1768 to support the British during the enforcement of the Townshend Acts. Short of men it was the pressing of local men into service which increased tension in the town to a level which culminated in the Boston Massacre of 1770. This chart is part of a very large body of work known as the 'Atlantic Neptune' undertaken by Des Barres one of the greatest hydrographic achievements of the eighteenth century. The French and Indian War highlighted the lack of accurate mapping of the vast territories now under British control in North America. Samuel Holland was entrusted with the task of accurately mapping the northern portion of these territories. He proposed using the latest accurate methods which included astronomical readings and triangulation. In 1769 he was still working in Canadian waters but had instructed Callendar to undertake the survey of Boston. In England Des Barres was in charge of undertaking the detailed engraving. He set about providing the British government with more accurate mapping of the entire coastline of America and Canada. They proved to be of just as much use to the American rebel forces. This particular chart is notable for recording Boston as it was at the outbreak of hostilities. It illustrates the British defences before the siege. The second state in particular out of the four later ones would record the progress of the siege works constructed by the Americans around the city. As the title informs us it was surveyed in the year 1769 a troubled time in Boston. Extensive soundings are provided in the harbour. The road structure is accurately recorded as are the local towns. It even shows recorded field boundaries. An alphabetical key upper right identifies fourteen locations in the immediate area of Boston including batteries docks forts wharves and the all-important Charles-town Ferry. The accompanying pamphlet of sailing directions is rare. It was replaced soon after by a single sheet version entitled 'A Chart of the Harbour of Boston' which is sometimes found pasted to later states of the map. It is rarely found with the chart as here.

The maps in the atlas were produce over a seven-year period 1775-82 and are well known for their accurate portrayal of various sounds bays bars harbors as well as navigational hazards.

This is a detailed chart of the Georgia and upper Florida coastlines covering an area between the mouth of the River May to John's Island. The towns of Savannah Beaufort Hardwick and Sunbury are shown and the coastal Parishes in Georgia are names. To the west is noted "Indian Boundary Line."
