‎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 in excellent condition. Sheet size: 30 1/4 x 42 5/8 inches. With: The explanatory text leaf titled as above. 1p. folio 25 1/2 x 19 inches. 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 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. 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'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 a further forty years becoming a senior political figure and a wealthy land owner living to the advanced age of 103.

‎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. Repaired tears in lower margin. Rare view of Boston from Dorchester Heights published shortly after George Washington's first victory of the American Revolution. 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. A rare view published in 1776 in the New England section of Des Barres monumental Atlantic Neptune.

‎ANNAPOLIS ROYAL.ST. MARY'S BAY‎

‎London: J.F.W. Des Barres in THE ATLANTIC NEPTUNE 1781. 31 3/4 x 47 inches. Etching with roulette work with added hand color. Printed on two joined sheets. On laid paper with "J Bates" watermark and "JB" countermark. Fine. A print from THE ATLANTIC NEPTUNE which charts the Annapolis Royal with a coastal view of Gulliver's Hole and a descriptive text. THE ATLANTIC NEPTUNE was the first great marine atlas and one of the greatest achievements of 18th-century cartography. Published in England in 1774 it contains over 250 charts and views of the North American and Canadian coasts. The charts are intensely detailed and contain 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 fifty 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 18th-century record of the first settlement in Canada. In 1605 two years before the first permanent British 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 assigned to it in Des Barres' chart. Spendlove "J.F.W. Des Barres and The Atlantic Neptune" in THE FACE OF EARLY CANADA pp.18-22.

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". Copies of The Atlantic Neptune were compiled as they were ordered principally for naval captains or merchant mariners and therefore no standard collation exists and no two recorded copies will contain the same compliment of charts nor be bound in exactly the same sequence. "Nautical charting took an unprecedented leap toward greater precision and graphic sophistication with the publication of Des Barres's Atlantic Neptune. The Neptune provided the first generally accurate charts of many areas and it was relied upon well into the nineteenth century. Des Barres also standardized many of the symbols such as for navigational hazards that are found on nautical charts to this day. Not only were Des Barres's charts technically superior to earlier works but they were also objects of fine printing and possessed an artistry that transcended their utilitarian purpose. Moreover this was achieved on works that were often breathtakingly large in scale with some charts measuring over ten feet in length. Most of the surveys on which the charts of the Neptune were based were conducted between 1763 and 1773. Des Barres was then commissioned to assemble these surveys which included his own fine work in Nova Scotia prepare their engraving and have them bound into usable format. Surveys of the New York and New England areas were carried out by various officers under the command of Major Samuel Holland one of the most capable of all colonial cartographers. In some but not all cases Des Barres provided the names of the actual surveyors of the charts. When war with the American colonies broke out the need for good charts of American waters became imperative and in the years prior to the war Des Barres project was given high priority. Between 1776 and 1779 Des Barres and his more than twenty assistants had taken over two London townhouses to complete the Neptune" Paul E. Cohen and Robert T.

‎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. Sheet size: 43 x 31 inches. Contemporary hand- coloring in outline. Slightest offsetting. A superior copy. A highly important chart depicting Buzzards Bay and the Vineyard Sound including the Elizabeth Islands and the western half of Martha's Vineyard compiled under the direction of Joseph Des Barres. 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. This is one of the most interesting charts from the vast ATLANTIC NEPTUNE project. THE ATLANTIC NEPTUNE was the first new survey of American coastlines in a century and the need was very great. 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 Col. Bouquet Lord Howe and Gen. Amherst and participated in the Quebec campaign as Gen. Wolfe's engineer. In the late 1760's the project of surveying the entirely Atlantic coastline of North america began working from north to south under Des Barres' direction. Although Des Barres was directly responsible for the surveys done of Nova Scotia and the Isle of Sable the surveying of much 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 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 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. This is the fourth state of seven recorded by Stevens.

London 1774-1779 which included a comprehensive survey of the coasts of Nova Scotia the coasts and harbors of the Gulf and River of St. Lawrence and the Atlantic coast of North America from New York to Mexico and New England in more than 100 engraved charts views and elevations. 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". Copies of The Atlantic Neptune were compiled as they were ordered principally for naval captains or merchant mariners and therefore no standard collation exists and no two recorded copies will contain the same compliment of charts nor be bound in exactly the same sequence. "Nautical charting took an unprecedented leap toward greater precision and graphic sophistication with the publication of Des Barres's Atlantic Neptune. The Neptune provided the first generally accurate charts of many areas and it was relied upon well into the nineteenth century. Des Barres also standardized many of the symbols such as for navigational hazards that are found on nautical charts to this day. Not only were Des Barres's charts technically superior to earlier works but they were also objects of fine printing and possessed an artistry that transcended their utilitarian purpose. Moreover this was achieved on works that were often breathtakingly large in scale with some charts measuring over ten feet in length. Most of the surveys on which the charts of the Neptune were based were conducted between 1763 and 1773. Des Barres was then commissioned to assemble these surveys which included his own fine work in Nova Scotia prepare their engraving and have them bound into usable format. Surveys of the New York and New England areas were carried out by various officers under the command of Major Samuel Holland one of the most capable of all colonial cartographers. In some but not all cases Des Barres provided the names of the actual surveyors of the charts. When war with the American colonies broke out the need for good charts of American waters became imperative and in the years prior to the war Des Barres project was given high priority. Between 1776 and 1779 Des Barres and his more than twenty assistants had taken over two London townhouses to complete the Neptune" Paul E. Cohen and Robert T.
