Des Barres Joseph F. Wallet
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.

London: Publish'd according to Act of Parliament by J.F.W. Des Barres Esqr. April 6 1776 2 sheets joined 30 4/8 x 42 inches. Fine engraved chart centered in Barrington Bay in Nova Scotia with extensive legend upper right old vertical folds a little toned at the edges. A magnificent chart from Des Barres's superb atlas The Atlantic Neptune published for the use of the Royal Navy of Great Britain. under the Directions of the Right Honble. the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty. 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.

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. 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.

Des Barres Joseph Frederick Wallet 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. 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.

DES BARRES Joseph Frederick Wallet
Chart of the Harbour of Boston/ Nautical Remarks and Observations for the Chart of the Harbour of Boston.
London 1775. Composed from different Surveys; but principally from that taken in 1769 by George Callendar Late Master of His Majesty's Ship the Romney. 5th August 1775. 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.

DES BARRES JFW. 1721 1824 J. F.
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 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.

DES BARRES Joseph Frederick Wallet 1721 1824.
Ipswich Bay Massachusetts.
London: Publish'd according to Act of Parliament Dec.r 1 1781 by J.F.W. Des Barres Esqr DES BARRES Joseph Frederick Wallet 1721-1824. Ipswich Bay Massachusetts. London: Publish'd according to Act of Parliament Dec.r 1 1781 by J.F.W. Des Barres Esqr 2 sheets joined 48 x 32 4/8 inches. A fine and attractive engraved chart of the Ipswich Bay region showing Salem Massachusetts and Portsmouth New Hampshire with original hand colour wash to the mainland edges a bit toned. A magnificent chart from Des Barres's superb atlas The Atlantic Neptune published for the use of the Royal Navy of Great Britain. under the Directions of the Right Honble. the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty. 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. Augustyn Manhattan in Maps 1527-1995 New York 1997 pp.66-69. . London: Publish'd according to Act of Parliament Dec.r 1 1781 by J.F.W. Des Barres Esqr unknown
