1800WRCAM52103London: R. Laurie and J. Whittle 1800. Engraved map sheet size approximately 21 x 34 3/4 inches. Backed with linen. Mid-19th-century ownership inscription near title. A few small chips and minor closed tears at edges light soiling and scattered faint foxing. Very good. Framed. An extremely scarce nautical chart of Boston Harbor from the second edition of the important 18th-century American atlas the NORTH AMERICAN PILOT. The chart depicts the state of the harbor just after the start of the Revolution having been reprinted from the first edition published in 1776 and 1777. The Boston peninsula and the "Ruins of Charlestown" are located in the west / far left of the chart area which follows the mainland coast as far south as Dorchester and Milton and out to Point Shirley and the Shirley Cut to the northeast in the upper center of the image; the Hull peninsula and Point Allerton are also visible in the lower right-hand quadrant of the map. In the center of the chart are the numerous islands that dot Boston Harbor as well as depth measurements and clearly marked shallow areas such as the shoals formerly known as the Dorchester Flats now a populated area of reclaimed land. Additionally there are a number of guidelines showing the best routes through the harbour to various points and markings for various points on land to aid in navigation. <br> <br> The second edition of the PILOT contained seven more maps than the first for a total of seventeen charts of which this plan of Boston Harbor was the seventh. The first edition was published by Robert Sayer and John Bennett who were succeeded by Laurie and Whittle before the publication of this atlas. The original chart engravings were executed by Thomas Jefferys. Rare in any form or edition OCLC traces only one copy of this individual map from the 1800 printing located at the State Library of Massachusetts. OCLC 843954569. PHILLIPS ATLASES 1220 ref.

17843834<p>This extremely scarce map of Boston appeared as part of the <em>Geographical Gazetteer of the Towns in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts</em> a work issued in parts as a supplement to <em>The Boston Magazine</em> from October 1784 through December 1785. The map appeared with the October 1784 issue of <em>The Boston Magazine</em>.</p><p>Wheat & Brun note that this map is based largely on Norman's <strong>Plan of the Town of Boston with the Attack on Bunkers-Hill.</strong> published in the Boston edition of <em>An Impartial History of the War in America</em> in 1781. The present map covers a somewhat smaller geographic area and on a modestly larger scale than the map that appeared in <em>An Impartial History</em>. It also adds/eliminates/changes some street names and landmarks making it more than a direct re-engraving and suggesting the involvement of a cartographer -- perhaps Osgood Carleton with whom Norman collaborated on several maps and charts in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Norman's 1781 <strong>Plan</strong> was itself sourced directly from the map appearing in the English edition of <em>An Impartial History </em>1778.</p><p>Although the present map is not listed in the Boston Engineering Department's <em>List of Maps of Boston Published Subsequent to 1600</em> 1904 it is referenced in the listing for a 1789 version of the map that had apparently been re-engraved for Norman's <em>Boston Directory</em> 1789. Very scarce. No examples listed for sale in the <em>Antique Map Price Record </em>1983-2011 and we not aware of any other examples being offered in the past twenty years.</p><p>A lovely example of one of the most uncommon 18th century maps of Boston.</p><p><strong>References:</strong> Wheat & Brun <em>Maps and Charts Published in America before 1800</em>: 242.

17793689<b>Scarce Contemporary Stony Point Battle Plan</b><br /><br />This rather crude woodcut depicts a battle plan of General "Mad Anthony" Wayne's daring and dramatic capture of the British fortification at Stony Point about 30 miles up the Hudson River from New York City. The battle planned in detail by Washington took place around midnight on July 16 1779. <br /><br /> The lower portion of the battle plan includes a four item key: "A. The British Fortress B. Abattes abatis in front C. The Reserve D. The detached Party who stormed the Works." Nebenzahl's <i>A Bibliography of Printed Battle Plans of the American Revolution 1775-1795</i> cites only a 1784 London-printed battle plan by Faden for the Stony Point engagement #145. The offered plan is not noted by Nebenzahl was published in America and was issued five years earlier than the Faden plan. The<i> Bickerstaff's Boston Almanack</i> for 1780 would almost certainly have been published in November or December of 1779 – within six months of the actual battle. <br /><br /> A very scarce almanac in the trade.

17893563Castle William's heritage as a military installation dates to 1634 when cannons first were deployed in an earthen fort to defend Boston Harbor. British officials used the fort as a refuge in the tumultuous times leading up to the American Revolution; on their way out of Boston in March 1776 the British destroyed the Fort. It was quickly rebuilt by Bostonians. <br /><br />The present view shows the rebuilt Fort with an oversized American flag waving above. The Fort served as an active military installation during the American Revolution the War of 1812 the Spanish-American War and World Wars I and II. Known as Fort Independence since 1797 the Fort today is a state park. <br /><br />Stauffer attributes the engraving to Samuel Hill who did many of the plates for the <i>Massachusetts Magazine</i>.
