177913202London: Published by J.F.W. Des Barres in 'The Atlantic Neptune' 1779. Etching with aquatint printed in sepia coloured by hand. Printed on laid paper with `J Bates' watermark and `JB' countermark. Small tears to fold repaired tear to plate mark. A large-scale view of the entrance to the harbour at Louisbourg from one of the most important North American marine atlases.<br/> <br/> This very fine view is taken from the sea with the harbour mouth in the foreground and in the background the spires and roofs of the town and fort of Louisbourg the port of entry to Cape Breton county Nova Scotia. As usual Des Barres has added rowing boats and ships to give the viewer the correct sense of scale. 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/> Spendlove The Face of Early Canada Chapter 4: "J.F.W.

17793603London: Published by J.F.W. Des Barres in 'The Atlantic Neptune' 1779. Etching with aquatint printed in sepia. Printed on laid paper with `J Bates' watermark and `JB' countermark. A large-scale view of the entrance to the harbour at Louisbourg from 'The Atlantic Neptune' the first British sea atlas of her North American colonies<br/> <br/> A fine view of the harbour of Louisbourg the former "impregnable" fortress that was the gateway to French America and the scene of two great battles between France and Britain in 1748 and 1758. The scene depicted here features ships sailing into the excellent natural harbour surrounded by a ruggedly beautiful landscape. This is the third state of this view and is identical to the Henry Stevens Collection variant 65C in the National Maritime Museum Greenwich. Des Barres studied under the great mathematician Daniel Bernoulli at the University of Basel before continuing on to the Royal Military College at Woolwich. On the outbreak of the Seven Years war in 1756 he joined the British Royal American Regiment as a military engineer. He came the attention of General James Wolfe who appointed him to be his aide-de-camp. 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. 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 was the first British sea atlas of her North American colonies and one of the most important achievements of eighteenth century cartography. With an official commission from the Royal Navy Des Barres published the first volume in London in 1775 which was soon followed by further volumes. Des Barres' monumental endeavor eventually featured over two-hundred charts and aquatint views many being found in several states. All of the charts were immensely detailed featuring both hydrographical and topographical information. Des Barres' plates were used to print further editions up into the first decade of the nineteenth-century. The Neptune met with the highest acclaim from the beginning and is today widely regarded as superior to all other atlases produced during its time.<br/> <br/> Spendlove The Face of Early Canada Chapter 4: "J.F.W.
