- Lot Description
Henry Mouzon (1741-1807) An Accurate Map of North and South Carolina with their Indian Frontiers..., Published May 30th, 1775, Samuel Turner Sparrow (engraver), Robert Sayer (Publisher), John Bennett (Publisher), engraving on laid paper with minimal hand colored highlights, sheet 41 x 55-1/2 in.; painted wood frame 53-1/2 x 68-1/4 x 1-1/4 in.
Provenance: Charlton Hall, Sale 271, Lot 168A, June 2014, sold for $8,500; Private South Carolina Collection
Note: Regarded as one of the most significant maps of the Revolutionary War period, Mouzon's map of the Carolinas was consulted by American, English, and French commanders during the Revolution, with the personal copies of figures such as George Washington and Sir Henry Clinton now held in permanent collections. Though little is known about Mouzon's life, his map became a landmark work which was consulted and copied widely after its publication due to its level of detail and accuracy.
