‎3 FINE VIEWS AROUND BOSTON HARBOUR.‎

‎London: The British Admiralty 1773. Single sheet with three engraved views sheet size: 32 6/8 x 24 inches; plate 10 x 6 4/8 inches. 3 engraved views of Boston Harbour by William Pierrie after Des Barres. Three exceptionally fine views from des Barres magnificent "Atlantic Neptune": A Front View of the Lines taken from the advanced Post near Browns House; A View of the Harbour of Boston taken from Fort Hill; A View of the Country towards Dorchester taken from the advanced works on Boston Neck. Des Barres's service to the British Crown began in about 1752 when he enrolled as a cadet at the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich near London. Founded in 1741 the Academy was established to teach all the branches of mathematics necessary for men who would serve in the Artillery or as Engineers. Des Barres had already received an extensive education in his native Switzerland where he had studied both applied and theoretical mathematics at the University of Basle. Upon the completion of his training he became one of the first officers to be commissioned in the newly formed Royal American Regiment. Thus it was that at the close of the French and Indian War Des Barres was sent to America by the British Admiralty to survey the coasts of the Maritime Provinces. These provinces so recently acquired from France had never been adequately mapped and Des Barres spent the next ten years constructing a series of charts of unparalleled accuracy and beauty. Ultimately the project was expanded to include the entire Atlantic and gulf coasts of North America and his findings were published in the monumental "Atlantic Neptune". Catalogued by Kate Hunter @ Arader Galleries. [London: The British Admiralty,] 1773. unknown‎

‎A CHART OF THE HARBOUR OF BOSTON COMPOSED FROM DIFFERENT SURVEYS; BUT PRINCIPALLY FROM THAT TAKEN IN 1769 BY MR. GEORGE CALLENDAR LATE MASTER OF HIS MAJESTY'S SHIP THE ROMNEY‎

‎London: Published by J.F.W. Des Barres in THE ATLANTIC NEPTUNE 1775. Copper-engraved and etched map with aquatint on two joined sheets. Printed on laid paper with "J Bates" watermark and "JB" countermark. Sheet size: 30 1/4 x 42 5/8 inches. In excellent condition. Accompanied by the folio explanatory text leaf titled as above. 1p. The finest and most celebrated sea chart of Boston Harbor ever produced and a highly important Revolutionary War map depicting details relating to the Siege of Boston: with the very rare explanatory text leaf. This is one the most important maps contained in Des Barres' THE ATLANTIC NEPTUNE and one of the most significant large-scale maps of the Revolutionary War. It provides an invaluable record of Boston at the beginning of the war covering the area from the environs of the city out into the open waters of Massachusetts Bay. A particularly striking feature is the use of boldly etched and subtly aquatinted details to capture the diverse topography of the region including the numerous hills islands and river estuaries. It is important to remember that this was issued as a working sea chart and as such the cartographer has naturally concentrated on features such as depth soundings indicated by detailed lines and based on surveys by Samuel Holland and George Callendar and the navigable channels between the harbor's numerous shoals which are delicately outlined in stipple-engraving. Holland's original manuscript map is today preserved in the British Hydrographic Library at Taunton Somerset. The present map shows the city of Boston with its streets carefully outlined occupying a pear-shaped peninsula a position that would soon prove precarious to its British defenders in the escalating conflict. This is the second state of five of Des Barres' chart and is identical to the HENRY STEVENS COLLECTION variant 96D in the National Maritime Museum Greenwich. This state shows a number of notable changes when compared with the original and was evidently altered to take particular account of the Siege of Boston April 19 1775 to March 17 1776. Henry Stevens noted that this state depicted the addition of "Numerous Forts Batteries Redoubts &c. which have been inserted in many places notably on the Charles Town peninsula and on the mainland between 'Willis Creek' and 'Mystic River' also on the east and north side of 'Charles River' below 'Cambridge'.also to the south of 'Boston Neck' and 'Dorchester Neck'.This state is almost as rare as the first state. It is found in some copies of the earliest edition of the Neptune." The accuracy scope and artistic virtue of Des Barres's CHART OF THE HARBOUR OF BOSTON was apparent to his contemporaries and it became the main source map of the area for decades to come. 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 Gen. 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. He was gradually forwarded the manuscripts of numerous advanced surveys conducted by British cartographers in the American Colonies Jamaica and Cuba of which the present map is based on the work of Samuel Holland conducted in the 1760s. 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' 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" NMM. THE ATLANTIC NEPTUNE eventually consisted of four volumes and Des Barres' 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 ATLANTIC NEPTUNE Des Barres returned to Canada where he remained for a further forty years becoming a senior political figure and a wealthy land owner living to the advanced age of 103.

‎DES BARRES JFW. 1721 1824 J. F.‎

‎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. 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.
