- Lot Description
Joseph Frederick Wallet Des Barres (1721-1824) A Chart of The Coast of New York, New Jersey, Pensilvania, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, &c..., March 1, 1780, published in the Atlantic Neptune, state 1, black and white line engraving on laid paper, 62-5/8 x 29-1/2 in. (overall); framed Notes: This copy of the map is published in Margaret B. Pritchard and Henry G. Taliaferro, Degrees of Latitude: Mapping Colonial America, no. 61, pp. 266-269. The outbreak of the Revolution created an urgent need for Des Barres’s coastal charts. When the focus of Britain’s military campaign shifted to the southern front early in 1780, this chart provided the royal navy with data essential to maneuvering in the coastal waters of the mid-Atlantic region. The most complete information is in the Chesapeake Bay area where numerous shoals and spits of sand at the mouths of its major tributaries created challenges to navigation. Like most of Des Barres’s charts, little topography was illustrated beyond the shoreline; however, close attention was paid to rendering the nature of the coast and to furnishing accurate soundings. The lower right cartouche reads: A CHART of the COAST/ OF/ NEW YORK, NEW JERSEY,/ PENSILVANIA,/ MARYLAND, VIRGINIA, NORTH CAROLINA, &c./ COMPOSED from the deposit of SURVEYS/ of the/ Right Honourable the Lords of Trade./ with/ Soundings & Nautical Remarks from L.t Jn.o Knight of the Navy & others/ BY/ JOS.
