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.

DES BARRES J. F. W. 1721 1824 publisher Samuel HOLLAND 1728 1801 and John KNIGHT
A plan of Fort Montgomery and Fort Clinton taken by His Majesty's forces under the command of Maj. Gen.l Sir Henry Clinton K.B: Survey'd by Major Holland Surv.r Gen.l &c. . 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 publisher Samuel HOLLAND 1728 1801 and George CALLENDAR fl. around 1769 surveyors
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.<br/> <br/>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.<br/> <br/>Cf.

Holland John Irish American 1882 ca. 1935
BUTCHERSHOP ALLEY
Probably San Francisco 1934. Oil on canvas 18 x 21 inches. Signed lower right: "John Holland." Very good. Framed. A brutal Depression painting a bum's-eye view of the hog carcasses live swine and the boots and slopbroom of a butcher seen in the alleyway behind a San Francisco butchershop. Painted in luminous sea greens and whites from the perspective of a laid- out drunk this intense examination of life among the lowly possesses an unlikely grandeur. Harder edged than Daumier's great and tragic pictures of the Parisian underbelly more desperate than any of Sloan's ashcan scenes down-and-out artist John Holland's "Butchershop Alley" is an uncensored depiction of what the promised land looked like to a man who was knocked out at the end of its road. <br> <br> According to an artist file at the San Francisco Museum of Art John Holland was born in Kilkenny Ireland in 1882. The date of his arrival in San Francisco is unknown. An informational form found in the file listed his full time occupation as perhaps sardonically "gallery attendant." His WPA work includes watercolor paintings for Bay region schools and Letterman Hospital the United States Army's first permanent general hospital founded in 1899 and completed in 1935. He died in Golden Gate Park circa 1935. The police identified Holland's body from a receipt found in his pocket for two paintings lent to a San Francisco Museum of Art exhibition. <br> <br> Provenance: Private Collection New Haven Ct.

Holland Spain Treaty
TRACTAET VAN 'T BESTANT GHEMAECKT ENDE BESLOTEN BINNEN DE STADT ENDE CITE VAN ANTWERPEN DEN NEGENSTEN APRILIS 1609.
The Hague: Hillebrant Iacobz 1609. 11pp. Large vignette on titlepage. Modern marbled boards. Very good. The original edition of the official Dutch text of the "Twelve Years' Truce" between the United Provinces and Spain. There are thirty- eight articles of which nine deal with foreign trade. The present issue undoubtedly the first contains a few errors which were corrected in later issues. By this treaty the Dutch agreed to stay out of Spanish controlled possessions in the New World. However it conceded the right of the Dutch to trade in the East Indies and on the basis of this and the breathing room the treaty gave them they were able to rout the Spanish in the 1620s. Savelle calls the Twelve Years' Truce "a great international triumph for all the challengers of the Hispano-Portuguese monopoly" on New World colonization since it marked the first explicit recognition of the right of any non- Iberian people to sail to the Americas. Spain tacitly recognized the right of the Dutch to own colonies in the New World a right which the Dutch French and British vigorously pursued in the ensuing decades.

Holland Samuel
THE PROVINCES OF NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY; WITH PART OF PENSILVANIA sic AND THE PROVINCE OF QUEBEC. DRAWN BY MAJOR HOLLAND SURVEYOR GENERAL OF THE NORTHERN DISTRICT IN AMERICA. CORRECTED AND IMPROVED FROM THE ORIGINAL MATERIALS BY GOVERN.R POWNALL MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT 1776
London: Printed for Robt. Sayer and John Bennett August 17 1776. Engraved map consisting of eight folio sheets backed on linen 54 1/2 x 21 3/4 inches with contemporary color outlining and shading of some boundaries and geographic features. Slightly soiled occasional minor stains a few old repairs no loss of text. In a brown cloth slipcase. A very good copy. This famous map is one of the best for the provinces of New York and New Jersey during the colonial period. It is the fourth state described by McCorkle following versions published circa 1768 in 1775 and earlier in 1776. "The map includes western Connecticut and Massachusetts and most of Vermont. In 1775 the title became 'The Provinces of New York and New Jersey; with part of Pensilvania and the Province of Quebec'.Three insets were added in this state: A chart of the mouth of the Hudson River; A plan of the City of New York; Plan of Amboy.The following year the date changed to 1776. Later in the same year the title was extended to include 'Corrected and improved from the original materials by Govern.r Pownall' and Holland's rank was given as Major" - McCorkle. The present copy is the final version described by McCorkle. <br> <br> THE PROVINCES OF NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY is in effect a large-scale map of the Hudson River and its tributaries including the Mohawk and settlement in New York is almost entirely confined to the banks of the Hudson and Mohawk rivers. The unexplored Adirondack County is left almost entirely blank with a lengthy notation that begins "Beaver Hunting Country of the Confederated Indians." Pennsylvania extends north into western New York state almost as far as the Mohawk Vermont is shown attached to New York with each existing township identified and the map extends north into Quebec beyond Montreal. Interesting notations on the country are scattered across the face of the map. For instance in Pennsylvania an area with little detail is simply noted as "endless mountains." The map is beautifully decorated with a pastoral title cartouche suggestive of the Hudson Palisades in the lower right corner. <br> <br> The map was created by Samuel Holland Surveyor General for the Northern District of North America. As a result of the French and Indian War 1755-63 Great Britain had acquired a new American Empire for which there were few adequate maps. Two new offices of surveyor general for the American colonies were established in 1763-64.
