Sheet size: 32 x 43 3/4 inches. 8 navigational profile views from the greatest of all 18th century sea atlases.<br/> <br/> These eight views of sites in and around Nova Scotia were designed to give navigators additional information to the soundings on the charts of these same places. Several of the placenames have changed but Beaver Island Port Bickerton Chedabucto Bay and Canso remain. This is the 5th of 5 states with many ships and aquatinted features to the landscapes added to the original plates. Des Barres of Swiss-Huguenot extraction studied under the great mathematician Daniel Bernoulli at the University of Basel before continuing on to the Royal Military College at Woolwich. Upon the outbreak of hostilities with France in 1756 he joined the British Royal American Regiment as a military engineer. He came to the attention of General James Wolfe who appointed him to join his personal detail. During this period he also worked with the future legendary explorer James Cook on a monumental chart of the St. Lawrence River. From 1762 Des Barres was enlisted to survey the coastlines of Nova Scotia Newfoundland and the Gulf of St. Lawrence while his colleague Samuel Holland charted the New England coast. He also managed to gain access to some surveys of the American South Cuba and Jamaica. In 1774 Des Barres returned to England where he began work on The Neptune. His dedication to the project was so strong that often at his own expense he continually updated and added new charts and views up until 1784. That year he returned to Canada where he remained for a further forty years becoming a senior political figure and a wealthy land owner and living to the advanced age of 103.<br/> <br/> The American Revolution in drawings and prints; a checklist of 1765-1790 graphics in the Library of Congress / Compiled by Donald H.

‎A chart of the bay and harbour of Pensacola in the province of West Florida surveyed by George Gauld A.M.‎

‎London: J.F.W. Des Barres in the 'Atlantic Neptune' 1780. Engraved with aquatint period oxidized color. Good condition apart from expert restoration to center fold upper and lower margins. A very rare and highly important sea chart of Pensacola Harbor from the 'Atlantic Neptune' the finest marine atlas of North America's east coast produced during the Revolutionary War.<br/> <br/> This superbly drafted map features the magnificent natural harbor of Pensacola on the Florida panhandle. The town with its fort and carefully laid out streets is featured in the left-centre of the map. Another settlement "Campbell Town" is located further up the harbour toward where the entrance of the "Scambia" Escambia River. The borders of various land grants are demarcated and the countryside is elegantly detailed with aquatint features and coloured in a light brown-green wash. The chart precisely captures the features of the coast showing how the harbor is protected by two sandy bars of land the outer being Santa Rosa Island. The chart features a great deal of quantitative hydrographic information and instructions to mariners are written in the lower right of the map ensuring that it was by far the most accurate and comprehensive pilot for the harbor produced in the eighteenth-century. The present example is the first of two variants of this chart. It is important to note that the year this map was printed the region was caught up in the dramatic action of the Revolutionary War. The Spaniards who had just joined the war on the American side seized the British garrison at Fort Barrancas and West Florida remained in their possession for the duration of the war. Joseph Frederick Wallet Des Barres was born in Switzerland where his Huguenot ancestors had fled following the repeal of the Edict of Nantes. He studied under the great mathematician Daniel Bernoulli at the University of Basel before immigrating to Britain where he trained at the Royal Military College Woolwich. Upon the outbreak of hostilities with France in 1756 he joined the British Royal American Regiment as a military engineer. He came to the attention of General James Wolfe who appointed him to join his personal detail. During this period he also worked with the legendary future explorer James Cook on a monumental chart of the St. Lawrence River. Upon the conclusion of the Seven Years War Britain's empire in North America was greatly expanded and this required the creation of a master atlas featuring new and accurate sea charts for use by the Royal Navy. Des Barres was enlisted to survey the coastlines of Nova Scotia Newfoundland and the Gulf of St. Lawrence. With these extremely accurate surveys in hand Des Barres returned to London in 1774 where the Royal Navy charged him with the Herculean task of producing the atlas. Gradually he was forwarded the manuscripts of numerous advanced surveys conducted by British cartographers in the American Colonies Jamaica and Cuba. The result was The Atlantic Neptune which became the most celebrated sea atlas of its era containing the first systematic survey of the east coast of North America. Des Barres's synergy of great empirical accuracy with the peerless artistic virtue of his aquatint views created a work that "has been described as the most splendid collection of charts plates and views ever published" National Maritime Museum Catalogue. The Neptune eventually consisted of four volumes and Des Barres's dedication to the project was so strong that often at his own expense he continually updated and added new charts and views to various editions up until 1784 producing over 250 charts and views many appearing in several variations. All of these charts were immensely detailed featuring both hydrographical and topographical information such that in many cases they remained the most authoritative maps of the regions covered for several decades. Following the completion of the Neptune Des Barres returned to Canada where he remained for forty years becoming a senior political figure and a wealthy land owner living to the advanced age of 103.<br/> <br/> National Maritime Museum Henry Newton Stevens Collection HNS 173A & Catalogue III 144 p.384; Sellers & Van Ee Maps and Charts of North America and the West Indies 1663.

‎London 1779. Engraved and aquatint map period hand colouring. 14 lettered references large inset with title as above. Rare revolutionary chart of the Hudson River showing the American defenses on the eve of the Battle of Fort Montgomery.<br/> <br/> On October 6 1777 a British force led by Lieutenant General Sir Henry Clinton attacked Forts Montgomery and Clinton from the landward side where the American defenses were only partially completed. Support from cannon fire from British ships on the Hudson River that had passed through the chevaux de frise on the lower river. By the end of the day both forts had fallen to the British who burned the forts and tore down the stonework buildings. However the battle was a pyrrhic victory for the British. The campaign against the forts caused delays in reinforcing General John Burgoyne at Saratoga where Americans forced the British surrender ten days later at the Battle of Saratoga before Clinton's forces could arrive. The present map which depicts the Forts and the River defenses prior to the battle is from The Atlantic Neptune the finest large scale sea atlas of the United States and Canadian Atlantic coastline ever produced. The maps in the atlas were produced over a seven-year period 1775-82 and are well known for their accurate portrayal of various sounds bays bars harbors as well as navigational hazards. This atlas was used extensively by the Royal Navy during the American Revolution. Des Barres studied under the great mathematician Daniel Bernoulli at the University of Basel before continuing on to the Royal Military College at Woolwich. On the outbreak of the Seven Years war in 1756 he joined the British Royal American Regiment as a military engineer. He came to the attention of General James Wolfe who appointed him to be his aide-de-camp. From 1762 Des Barres was enlisted to survey the coastlines of Nova Scotia Newfoundland and the Gulf of St.Lawrence while his colleague Samuel Holland charted the New England coast and further south. In 1774 Des Barres returned to England where he began work on the Neptune. His dedication to the project was so strong that often at his own expense he continually updated and added new charts and views up until 1784. That year he returned to Canada where he remained for a further forty years becoming a senior political figure and a wealthy land owner and living to the advanced age of 103. The Atlantic Neptune was the first British sea atlas of her North American colonies and one of the most important achievements of eighteenth century cartography. With an official commission from the Royal Navy Des Barres published the first volume in London in 1775 which was soon followed by further volumes. Des Barres' monumental endeavor eventually featured over two-hundred charts and aquatint views many being found in several states. All of the charts were immensely detailed featuring both hydrographical and topographical information. The Neptune met with the highest acclaim from the beginning and is today widely regarded as superior to all other atlases produced during its time. Henry Stevens identified only a single state of this chart issued coloured or uncoloured which appeared in some examples volume four part two of the Atlantic Nepture; the map however is not listed in the engraved list of maps for that section and given the rarity was likely not issued in all copies.<br/> <br/> National Maritime Museum: Henry Stevens Collection: HNS156; Cf.

‎London: Published by J.F.W. Des Barres in 'The Atlantic Neptune' 1781. Etching with added hand-colour. On laid paper with 'J Bates' watermark and 'JB' countermark. A fine print from "The Atlantic Neptune" which charts the Annapolis Royal with a coastal view of Gulliver's Hole and a descriptive text.<br/> <br/> 'The Atlantic Neptune' was the first great marine atlas and one of the greatest achievements of eighteenth century cartography. Published in England in 1774 it contained over 250 charts and views of the North American and Canadian coasts. The charts were intensely detailed and contained both hydrographical and topographical details. The Neptune was compiled and published for the Royal Navy by Joseph F. W. Des Barres a Swiss cartographer who joined the Royal American Regiment as a surveyor. Des Barres fought in the French and Indian wars and was enlisted to survey the Canadian coastline. While his fellow surveyor Samuel Holland charted the New England coast Des Barres mapped the shoreline of Nova Scotia Newfoundland and the St. Lawrence River regions. In 1774 Des Barres returned to England where he compiled and published his monumental atlas; his dedication to the project was so strong that he published an updated version of the work every year until 1784. Des Barres' work was so superior to any other contemporary atlas that the maps were used as the standard charts of the East coast for over 50 years. The Neptune remains one of the most important atlases ever printed its views and maps chart the history of North America and allow us to glimpse a forgotten land long changed by the passage of time. This chart is an excellent eighteenth century record of the first settlement in Canada. In 1605 two years before the first permanent English settlement at Jamestown three years before the founding of Quebec and fifteen years before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth a small party of French explorers led by Sieur de Monts established Port Royal as the first settlement in Canada. The settlement was later renamed Annapolis Royal which is the name asigned to it in Des Barres chart.<br/> <br/> Spendlove The Face of Early Canada Chapter 4: "J.F.W.
