John Cary Prints

British, 1755-1835

John Cary was an English cartographer. He was born in February of 1755 and died in August of 1835. His career started with his apprenticeship in London, and he opened up his own shop in the Strand in 1783. His atlas New and Correct English Atlas became the standard reference work in England. He was commissioned in 1794 by the Postmaster General to survey England's roads. Out of this commission, he published Cary's New Itinerary in 1798. He later produced Ordnance Survey maps before 1805. His business was eventually taken over by G.F. Cruchley.

Antique 18th Century Map of the Province of Pensilvania 'Pennsylvania State'
Located in Philadelphia, PA
A fine antique of the colony of Pennsylvania. Noted at the top of the sheet as a 'Map of the province of Pensilvania'. This undated and anonymous map is thought to be from the Gentleman's Magazine, London, circa 1775, although the general appearance could date it to the 1760's. The southern boundary reflects the Mason-Dixon survey (1768), the western boundary is placed just west of Pittsburgh, and the northern boundary is not marked. The map has a number of reference points that likely refer to companion text and appear to be connected to boundaries. The western and southern boundaries are marked Q, R, S, for example. A diagonal line runs from the Susquehanna R to the Lake Erie P. A broken line marked by many letters A, B, N, O, etc., appears in the east. There are no latitude or longitude markings, blank verso. Framed in a shaped contemporary gilt wooden frame and matted under a cream colored matte. Bearing an old Graham Arader Gallery...
