Condition: Very Good. [Paris, 'Levé par Lesueur., J. Milbert direx., Cloquet sculp.', 1824]. An engraved map elaborately matted (obscuring the printer's imprint below the key and the plate number 17 in the top right-hand corner; visible image size 197 × 240 mm), framed and glazed (external dimensions 470 × 510 mm). A couple of very faint spots of foxing; in excellent condition. A handsomely-presented example of this early French map of Sydney, from the published account of the Baudin expedition of 1800-3. This version comes from the atlas to the second edition of 1824. It contains significantly more detail than the version found in the first edition of 1811, and is a more attractive presentation overall. In 'Framing New Holland or framing a narrative? A representation of Sydney according to Charles-Alexandre Lesueur' (Framing French Culture, 2015), Jean Fornasiero traces the development of this image, a hybrid produced from charts by the expedition's hydrographer, Charles Boullanger, and Lesueur's more impressionistic watercolour (he was, after all, the expedition's artist, and better known for his views and natural history plates).…

Very good. Minor wear along original fold lines. Slight loss in lower margin near edge of sheet. Size 7 x 9 Inches. One of the earliest obtainable maps of the city of Sydney, Australia, this is an 1815 German edition of an 1802 manuscript map by Charles-Alexandre Lesueur. A Closer Look The map covers from Darling Harbour to Dawes Batter and from Woolloomooloo to Brickfields. At the bottom of the plan, there is a numbered index that identifies 38 important buildings. In addition, the map notes roads, buildings, windmills, gardens, orchards, gallows (with unfortunate occupants), brick fields, and the cemetery. The manuscript on which this map is based survives in the collections of the Museum d'Histoire Naturelle in Le Havre, France. Lesueur accompanied the Napoleon-sponsored expedition of Nicolas Baudin, which sailed from Le Havre on October 19, 1800. Initially, he signed on as an assistant gunner, but his skills at drawing, mathematics, and scientific observation were promptly recognized, leading him to be reassigned as the ship's 'artist' and 'assistant naturalist.' Although Lesueur is commonly credited with the authorship of this map, he more likely simply assisted in the illustration of a map prepared by Charles Pierre Boullanger, a midshipman on the same vessel. In this example's title area, Boullanger is credited with 'correcting' the map, but we suspect this ghosts over deeper involvement. The French and English were in the midst of the Napoleonic Wars (1803 - 1815) at this time, and we can only imagine that the British must have felt considerable trepidation as their militarily sensitive harbor was mapped by a government-sponsored French expedition. Publication History and Census The map was first engraved by Jean Baptiste Antoine Cloquet and printed in the 1802 French edition of Francois Peron's Voyage de decouvertes aux terres Australes . The work proved popular, and subsequent French, English, and German editions followed. The present example is the 1815 German edition. It was published by Geographischen Institutes of Weimer and is one of that organization's earliest and most significant publications. References: Perry, T and Prescott, J.

No Binding. Condition: Very Good. Original engraved map (34.5 x 48.5 cm) of Sydney, hand-coloured in outline, with key to 34 major landmarks in the infant colony. Mounted, glazed and framed in a period frame. Fine. The map appears to be a prior printing of Lesueur's 'Plan de la ville de Sydney' of November 1802, which was published as part of François Péron and Louis Freycinet's Voyage de découvertes aux Terres Australes (1807-1816). McCormick (1987, p. 96) records a similar (smaller at 19 x 21 cm, and more detailed) map, published as plate 1 in the Atlas (historique), published in 1807-1811, accompanying Péron and Freycinet's work (see Ferguson, I, 449). It depicts 38 major landmarks as at September 1802. Tooley (1979, pl. 172) records the same map as here offered, measuring 34.5 x 48.5 cm, dated November 1802 and naming only 34 landmarks. Tooley's map, however, bears the printed marginalia from the French Hydrographic Office: Hyd. Fr. No. 656 No. 30. He cites this map as being from the Freycinet Atlas accompanying the part of the Voyage relating to Navigation and Geography, published in 1812 (see Ferguson, I, 536). As the copy here offered does not bear the imprint of the French Hydrographic Office, we assume it to be a separately issued version, likely released prior to the Atlas in 1812. At any event, this is one of the earliest depictions of the infant English settlement of Sydney Town.The French expedition under Nicolas Baudin, commissioned to chart the coastline of Australia, sailed into Sydney in 1802. On board was Charles Alexandre Lesueur (1778-1846), draftsman/naturalist. Lesueur's delightful Plan captures the detail of the infant colony. The roads are clearly marked and, for the first time, some are named. A rough road, the "Route de Parramatta", links Sydney with the important farming and market centre of Parramatta. Roads run parallel to the Tank Stream, and the important transverse road (now Bridge Street) crosses, by means of a log bridge, from the Government House (No. 1) side of the Cove to the convict side. When the log bridge collapsed, it was replaced with a stone one. The Sydney Gazette of 1 April 1804 proudly announced, "On Tuesday last, the New Bridge was rendered passable for carriages, and among the first that crossed the arch was one of the timber-carriages drawn by eight bullocks laden with a tree of immense size and weight." Sydney was still, of course, essentially a penal settlement with the Government as the major employer of labour, supplier of capital, and manufacturer (see the government saltworks No. 24). But there are hints on the Plan of the commencement of independent activity - see for example Robert Campbell's stores on the west side of the Cove (No. 10). Campbell was one of the first of the great merchants and entrepreneurs who would enrich themselves - and Sydney too - by their trading ventures. A fine and particularly elegant map showing the colony from unnamed Cockle Bay (Darling Harbour) in the north to Palmers Cove (Woolloomooloo Bay) in the south, and from Bennelong Point in the east to "Village de Brickfield" in the west. The principal buildings are identified by numbers and a legend.…

Interesting chart of the three harbours of Botany Bay, Port Jackson, and Broken Bay showing the ground cultivated by the colonists. In the early days of the settlement in Australia there was a prime importance to establish sufficient even abundent food supplies so that the colony could not only sustain itself but continue to grow. There are many interesting notes on the map such as "Good country the grass high thick and luxuriant" and "Fine rich soil". This map originates from 'An account of the English colony in New South Wales' by David Collins. Artists and Engravers: Published by Cadell & Davies, Strand.
