London: J.F.W. Des Barres 1781. Hand-colored line engraving and aquatint. Two plates printed on two sheets joined with 8 views arranged in 5 rows. 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.

London: Published by J.F.W. Des Barres in 'The Atlantic Neptune' 1777. Hand-colored etching on Bates paper. No imprint. Sheet size: 32 1/4 x 23 3/4 inches with center fold as with all early issues. Expert restoration to center fold and marginal tears. A set of six navigational views of Halifax Harbour and nearby coastal area from one of the most important North American marine atlases.<br/> <br/> This group includes four profile views intended as aids to navigation. The profiles were intended for use by captains of vessels to identify exactly where they were in relation to distant shorelines; added to these is a charming roundel giving a picturesque view of a waterfall on the Hinchinbroke River and finally a tranquil view in Halifax harbour which is enlivened by the small scene in the lower right of the image where amid clouds of steam men work frantically to re-tar the hull of a man-of-war. This finely coloured example of the print corresponds to Stevens 51 first state without stamped plate number. '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 forgotten shores long changed with the passage of time.<br/> <br/> Spendlove The Face of Early Canada Chapter 4: "J.F.W.

With large inset titled: Part of Hudsons River shewing the position of Fort Montgomery and Fort Clinton with the Chevaux de Frieze cables chains &c to obstruct the passage of his Majesty's forces up the river. By Lieut. John Knight of the Royal Navy in 1777
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.

DES BARRES, J F W (1721-1824); after William PIERIE
A View of Boston Taken on the Road to Dorchester
London: J. F. W. Des Barres 1776. Engraved view printed on laid paper engraved by James Newton after Pierie. Sheet size: 22 1/2 x 31 1/2 inches. First state. Rare view of Boston from the road to Dorchester published shortly after George Washington's first victory of the American Revolution.<br/> <br/> Following the Battles of Lexington and Concord American troops laid siege to Boston. Strategically Dorchester Heights offered commanding views of both Boston town and harbour. On March 4 1776 under the cover of darkness and with batteries firing from Roxbury and Cambridge to provide a diversion George Washington moved canon captured at Ticonderoga onto the Heights and fortified the position. Faced with little choice given the overwhelming strategic advantage General Howe retreated from Boston on March 17 giving George Washington and the Americans a decisive early victory in the war. The present view accomplished by British artillery officer William Pierie in 1773 depicts Boston Boston Harbor and Roxbury as it would have been seen by Washington and the American army. The Shirley-Eustis house the home of Governor William Shirley and later Governor William Eustis in Roxbury is visible in the middle ground and in the far distance the beacon is visible atop Beacon Hill.

DES BARRES, JOSEPH FREDERICK WALLET (1721-1824) and SAMUEL HOLLAND
Buzzards Bay and Vineyard Sound.
London: J. F. W. Des Barres for The Atlantic Neptune 1776. Large engraved chart from Des Barres' Atlantic Neptune on two sheets of laid paper joined each bearing "J Bates" watermark. 43x31 inches sheet size nice margins; contemporary hand-color in outline; slightest offsetting a superior copy. State 4 of 7. Fine chart depicting the waters between New Bedford and Martha's Vineyard.<br/> <br/> Buzzards Bay and the Vineyard Sound including the Elizabeth Islands and the western half of Martha's Vineyard. Showing much more on-shore information than is typical for a Des Barres chart there are details of property boundaries structures even a road from Menemshaw Pond to Tisbury. Native names throughout remain largely unchanged today. Joseph Des Barres was born in Switzerland in 1721 and educated in Basel before emigrating to England and entering the Royal Military College where he learned engineering and the art of surveying. In 1756 Des Barres was commissioned a Lieutenant in the Royal American Regiment and dispatched to North America. He served in America during the Seven Years War under Colonel Bouquet Lord Howe and General Amherst and participated in the Quebec campaign as General Wolfe's engineer. Though Des Barres was responsible for the surveys done of Nova Scotia and the Isle of Sable the surveying of the coastline of what became the United States was undertaken by Major Samuel Holland a Dutchman who joined the British army during the French and Indian War as an engineer and became ultimately Surveyor General for North America. Holland was in charge of a rather large staff that included Charles Blaskowitz and George Gauld. They ultimately provided greatly improved charts for the entire coastline and the Gulf of Mexico. All this work was done prior to the Revolution which necessarily brought the surveys to an end. The publishing supervised by Des Barres continued throughout the war years. Des Barres compiled and edited the atlas maintaining a high standard throughout. His primary motive seems to have been the navigational usefulness of the charts. He clearly envisioned a navigator's needs in approaching a shoreline. The Atlantic Neptune was the first new survey of American coastlines in a century and the need was very great. The charts were plagiarized for the next thirty or forty years. Des Barres also had a flare for making charts aesthetically appealing so that they are invariably handsome as well as unfailingly interesting.<br/> <br/> Stevens 88D; John Carter Brown Library Charting the East Coast of North America The Atlantic Neptune Providence: 1972; Robert Lingel 'The Atlantic Neptune' in the Bulletin of the New York Public Library July 1936 pp.571-603; Augustus P.

Chart of Port Shediack & Cocagne New Brunswick
London: J. F. W. Des Barres for 'The Atlantic Neptune' 1781. Etched with aquatint and stippling. Some outline color. Platemark: 29 1/4 x 21 3/8 inches; sheet: 32 3/4 x 24 3/4 inches. Laid paper watermarked "J. Bates" with counter mark "J.B." A meticulous survey of a portion of the eastern coast of New Brunswick on the Northumberland Straits with soundings and topographical detailing.<br/> <br/> This chart which appeared in Volume II of The Atlantic Neptune was part of the surveying work conducted by Des Barres himself in the late 1760s and early 1770s. The first state was issued in 1776; this enhanced second state appeared in 1779. 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.

Large aquatint and etched engraving on two sheets joined unfolded and uncut with the LVG watermark together with pamphlet quarto 280 by 230mm original blue wrappers typographic title pp. 5-12 there are no pages 3-4 which agrees with the John Carter Brown example. The first state of one of the most important Revolutionary War illustrations of Boston and its approaches accompanied by the very rare 12 page pamphlet by George Callender entitled 'Nautical remarks and observations for the chart of the harbour of Boston'. Callendar was the Master of HMS Romney. Commissioned in 1762 she served extensively in North America arriving in Boston in May 1768 to support the British during the enforcement of the Townshend Acts. Short of men it was the pressing of local men into service which increased tension in the town to a level which culminated in the Boston Massacre of 1770. This chart is part of a very large body of work known as the 'Atlantic Neptune' undertaken by Des Barres one of the greatest hydrographic achievements of the eighteenth century. The French and Indian War highlighted the lack of accurate mapping of the vast territories now under British control in North America. Samuel Holland was entrusted with the task of accurately mapping the northern portion of these territories. He proposed using the latest accurate methods which included astronomical readings and triangulation. In 1769 he was still working in Canadian waters but had instructed Callendar to undertake the survey of Boston. In England Des Barres was in charge of undertaking the detailed engraving. He set about providing the British government with more accurate mapping of the entire coastline of America and Canada. They proved to be of just as much use to the American rebel forces. This particular chart is notable for recording Boston as it was at the outbreak of hostilities. It illustrates the British defences before the siege. The second state in particular out of the four later ones would record the progress of the siege works constructed by the Americans around the city. As the title informs us it was surveyed in the year 1769 a troubled time in Boston. Extensive soundings are provided in the harbour. The road structure is accurately recorded as are the local towns. It even shows recorded field boundaries. An alphabetical key upper right identifies fourteen locations in the immediate area of Boston including batteries docks forts wharves and the all-important Charles-town Ferry. The accompanying pamphlet of sailing directions is rare. It was replaced soon after by a single sheet version entitled 'A Chart of the Harbour of Boston' which is sometimes found pasted to later states of the map. It is rarely found with the chart as here.

Egmont Harbour modern Jeddore Harbour Nova Scotia
London: Published by J.F.W. Des Barres in 'The Atlantic Neptune' 1779. Sea chart etched with roulette-work with original colour with aquatint view. Printed on laid paper with 'J Bates' watermark and 'JB' countermark. A very fine sea chart and view of Egmont now called Jeddore Harbour from 'The Atlantic Neptune' the first British sea atlas of her North American colonies<br/> <br/> This is a finely presented and highly detailed chart of what is now known as Jeddore Harbour near Halifax. The bay seven miles long and three miles wide is captured in a cartographic composition of great topographical and hydrographical detail and is further embellished by a roundel containing a mariner's view of the area. This chart is the fifth and final state produced and is identical to the Henry Stevens Collection variant 49G in the National Maritime Museum Greenwich. 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. 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. Des Barres' plates were used to print further editions up into the first decade of the nineteenth-century. 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.<br/> <br/> National Maritime Museum: Henry Stevens Collection: K0124 HNS 49G & Catalogue no.38 p.382; Cf.

DES BARRES, Joseph Frederick Wallet [1721-1824] [Army officer, military engineer, surveyor, First Lieutenant Governor of Cape Br
Manuscript document in secretarial hand unsigned dated Prince Edward Island Government House July 28 1812.
Charlottetown: 1812. A distinguished military engineer DesBarres served in the British Army in North America during the Seven Years' War and participated in the capture of Louisbourg in 1758 and of Quebec in 1759. General James Wolfe used a chart which he prepared of the St. Lawrence River and approaches to Quebec in his assault on the city. From 1763 to 1773 DesBarres surveyed and charted the Atlantic coast from Newfoundland to New York which resulted in the publication in 1777 of the Atlantic Neptune a four-volume atlas “which stands as a landmark in Canadian cartographic achievement†R.J.Morgan DCB VI pp. 196 and is considered to be the most important atlas of North America published in the eighteenth century. He went on to become the first Lieutenant Governor of Cape Breton 1784-87 the founder of Sydney and the Lieutenant Governor of Prince Edward Island 1804-12. He faced considerable opposition to his administration in both colonies and with the home government and in each instance was recalled to England. The present document is dated just one month before his recall from Prince Edward Island in August of 1812. In it DesBarres reprimands the Grand Jury for overstepping the bounds of their authority although he says he is willing to attribute their statements to “good intentions in an infant colony language which under other circumstances might be very differently received.â€. one-page folio. horizontal folds several tears with no loss of text. matted & framed size of frame: 21.75 x 16 inches; 55.2 x 40.6 cm. elala5919 [Charlottetown]: 1812 unknown

London: J. F. W. Des Barres 1781. Engraved with aquatint on single double-page sheet watermarked "J. Bates." Excellent condition with minor repairs along centerfold. Detailed depiction of the mouth of the Miramachi River in New Brunswick and Miramachi Bay in the Gulf of St. Larwence.<br/> <br/> 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.

CONDITION: Good trimmed close at top and bottom with loss of a portion of neat line at top and all of neat line at bottom lower portions of longitudinal figures at bottom nicked original fold marks. <p>A fine chart depicting a portion of the Penobscot Bay region of Maine from the most celebrated maritime atlas of the eighteenth century.</p> <p>Published in London around 1780 in The Atlantic Neptune J. F. W. Des Barres’s landmark four-volume maritime atlas of North America this chart depicts the islands of Vinalhaven called Southern Fox Island until 1789 part of North Haven Isle au Haut Matinicus Isle spelled Metimicus and the area around Owl’s Head. It demonstrates a precise knowledge of the location of numerous smaller islands ledges and rocks the hazardous nature of the latter two being of particular significance to those navigating the waters of the region. Two rhumb line networks cover Penobscot Bay with a north arrow and a smaller one indicating magnetic north shown on the western side. Depth soundings appear around the most important islands and harbors. From a semantic viewpoint the highlight of this chart has to be “Ragged Arse Island.â€</p> <p>The lack of good charts during the Seven Years War generated complaints among British military engineers and naval officers leading to several large-scale surveying projects of the North American coast including newly-gained territory in Canada. Des Barres’ surveys represented just a portion of the massive charting initiative though he is given credit for assembling these various charts into atlas form. </p> <p>The Atlantic Neptune is considered the most comprehensive and important maritime atlas of the 18th century. It was published several times after 1774 and includes engraved plates from many distinct British surveying efforts most dating to the late 1770s and early 1780s. Des Barres was paid by the Admiralty for his work but allowed to keep the rights to plates. Due to the ongoing nature of the surveying effort Des Barres was constantly reconfiguring his atlas as new surveys emerged. Consequently there is considerable variation among the various copies of The Atlantic Neptune in terms of binding organization and contents.</p> <p>J. F. W. Des Barres 1721-1824 was a Swiss-born military engineer and cartographer. Trained in mathematics under Daniel and Jean Bernoulli he moved to England to study at the Royal Military College at Woolwich. In 1756 he received a lieutenant’s commission in the Royal American Regiment and recruited soldiers in the American colonies to join the fight against the French in the Seven Years War. He joined General James Wolfe’s Quebec campaign and worked on various engineering and surveying projects in Canada. In 1763 Des Barres accepted a commission to survey the coasts and harbors of North America. He first worked alongside the Surveyor General of North America Samuel Holland later undertaking his own surveys while Holland continued in parallel. Though there was substantial overlap Des Barres’ work in contrast to Holland’s land surveys focused on producing charts for maritime use. These regional charts were considered to be the most accurate for decades. Des Barres’s atlas owed much to Holland’s maps—which he obtained from the Board of Trade and Plantations—and the work of other contemporaries.</p> <p>REFERENCES: Brown Lloyd A. “The Atlantic Neptune.†The Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography Vol. 67 No. 4 1943 pp. 377–81.</p> [London, ca. 1780] unknown
