- Lot Description
Laurie, Richard Holmes (1777-1858) Fredonia or the United States of North-America; Including also Cabotia, or the Canadian Provinces; the Western Territory to the Pacific Ocean; and the Northern Part of the Mexican States. London: R.H. Laurie, 14th August, 1830. Printed on twenty-five sheets mounted on linen, one of the most important early coast-to-coast maps of the United States, with hand-colored boundary lines, original blue linen covered pasteboard slipcase with printed C. Smith Mapseller's printed label signed "J. Ralph MD/United States of/America.," (map is in fine overall condition, strong coloring on only lightly toned paper with subtle image transfer, all sheets remain securely attached to the linen backing and there are no obvious splits in the folds, the slipcase has wear and lacks the narrow side strips), map 26 1/2 x 39 1/4 in.
Until recently, the very scarce 14 August 1830 issue of Laurie's Fredonia map was thought to be the first printing of this monumental work. Known issues of the map date to 1829, 1830, 1832, 1833, 1834, 1836 and 1849 with each subsequent issue updated to incorporate topographical and boundary changes as they were recorded. The 1830 printing incorporates information collected during the Lewis & Clark expedition, Stephen Long's expeditions to the west and the Aaron Arrowsmith's 1810 map of Mexico. The present copy was owned by American physician Dr. Joseph Ralph who authored several works including Domestic Guide to Medicine, New York, 1835.
