1829ref. 8887Portland 1829. No Binding. Very Good. 50 ¾ x 40 ¼ inches. Steel engraving. Original wash color refreshed; expertly conserved re-mounted on new linen; a few cracks & marginal mends but fine for this kind. The very rare three copies cited in OCLC first edition of this excellent map of Maine by the state's first mapmaker. An exceptionally well-preserved example. Unlike many early American state maps that struggled to get completed Greenleaf's received a warm commendation from the state legislature even before it was published and the mapmaker was granted $1000 to aid him in finishing the map. Greenleaf later received $640 from the legislature for 40 copies of the map that were obtained for state use a remarkable $16 per copy. Perhaps the large number of copies sold for official rather than private use helps account for the map's present rarity. The map was originally intended to accompany an atlas and survey of the state that Greenleaf published the same year but very few complete sets of the three items are known to have survived. Greenleaf appears to have taken special care in the production of this map. Although published in Portland Maine Greenleaf employed as engravers for this work the estimable J. H. Young and F. Dankworth both of whom produced major works for the firms of S. A. Mitchell and others. This precisely detailed map which shows ten counties in different colors provides state county town and township boundary lines. The state's many rivers lakes ponds and even falls are shown as are roads and elevations. The map was re-published in 1844 by Greenleaf's son and namesake from the same plates but with emendations and several times thereafter. Greenleaf published two earlier maps of the state in 1815 and 1820 but the present work was by far his finest. Ristow W.

ref. 3387Hartford: Published under the Authority of The General Assembly By Hudson & Goodwin 1812 or 1813. Engraved By Abner Reed E. Windsor. Hand-colored engraving 36.5" x 44.25" plus margins dissected and mounted on linen folding into original 8vo covers half red leather and marbled paper boards gilt title "Connecticut" and gilt rules at spine. CONDITION: Good spotting mainly in the lower left quadrant which seems to be endemic to case map examples as evident in copies at Harvard and the Library of Congress which can be viewed online. The first state of this scarce important and very fine map of Connecticut offered here in desirable case map form with beautiful original color. This large and impressive map depicts the entire state of Connecticut as well as narrow portions of adjacent states the whole of Long Island Sound and part of Long Island. A circular cartouche incorporating the Connecticut coat-of-arms appears in the lower right corner along with a fine calligraphic dedication to Governor Roger Griswold. A handsome compass rose with a fleur-de-lis directional is situated in Long Island Sound near New Haven. A key in the upper left margin identifies some thirty-five points of interest including churches academies court houses gun & pistol factories paper mills distilleries glass works ore beds light houses etc. The last item listed is "Humphrysville - The first extensive successful woolen mill in the country." According to Thompson there is an apparently later state of the map in which this note had been transferred to the site of present day Seymour. Also noted by Thompson are the turnpike roads a recent development and apparently the first to appear on an American map. Warren & Gillett undertook the first survey of the state since William Blodget's map of 1792 carrying out much of the field work themselves but also as Ristow points out likely incorporating manuscript maps from local surveyors as well as other locally provided data. "Though the publication of this map was a private venture the survey had an official sanction. At the May session 1811 of the Connecticut legislature a resolution was passed authorizing Hudson & Goodwin 'at their own expense to prepare and publish from actual survey a map of this state and for that purpose the petitioners are authorised.to pass over the land of individuals in the state.and empowered to examine the records of the state'" Thompson. As the authoritative map of the state the Warren & Gillet map served as the prototype for other maps of Connecticut into the 1840s. Although cataloged by Thompson and others as 1812 the date of publication of this map is somewhat unclear. The inscription to Governor Griswold reads in part "Respectfully Inscribed By the Publishers. Hartford February 1812" but the copyright date is 1813. Also the last governor listed is John Cotton Smith who succeeded Griswold in 1813. Moses Warren 1762-1835 was born in Hopkinton Rhode Island but soon moved with his family to East Lyme Connecticut. He served as a sergeant in the Revolutionary War and surveyed the Western Reserve in 1796. Warren's partner George Gillet 1771-1853 was born in Hebron Connecticut. He was appointed surveyor general of Connecticut following publication of this map. A splendid early map of Connecticut.
