Book Description Cloth, 8vo, vi, 495 pp. A "comprehensive list of the maps and charts of North America and the West Indies in the [Library of Congress]'s Geography and Map Division for the years 1750-1789". From the introduction: "The maps and charts described in this guide number well over two thousand different items, with easily as many or more unnumbered duplicates, many with distinct colorations and annotations. Almost six hundred maps are original manuscript drawings, a large number of which are the work of such famous map-makers as John Montresor, Samuel Holland, Claude Joseph Sauthier, John Hills, and William Gerard De Brahm. They also include many maps from the personal collections of William Faden, Adm. Richard Howe, the comte de Rochambeau, as well as large groups of maps by three of the best eighteenth-century map publishers in London - Thomas Jefferys, William Faden, and Joseph Frederick Wallet Des Barres. Historical cartographers can even compare multiple editions, st a tes, and impressions of several of the most important maps of the period, follow the development of a particular map from the manuscript sketch to the finished printed version and its foreign derivatives, and examine the cartographic styles and techniques of surveyors and map-makers from six different countries - Great Britain, France, Germany, Spain, Holland, Italy, and the United States."
