1853 "Texas" Map by Daniel Burgess

About the Item

This is an original map of Texas from 1853, published by Daniel Burgess. The map was issued in Smith's Quarto, or Second Book in Geography and has original hand coloring. This map covers the entire state of Texas, as well parts of adjacent New Mexico, Indian Territory, Missouri, Arkansas, and Louisiana. The southern boundary is defined by Rio Grande as agreed to in the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo. Created as a school atlas map, the map is filled with rivers, place names, locations of eight forts, Native American tribes, and population data. The listed total population of Texas is 213,000. Given the issue date, county development is limited to the eastern third of the state. The Fannin Land District is shown west of Cooke County and below the Llano Estacado with no defined boundaries. CONDITION: Good condition overall. Hand colored map. Paper is healthy, save two 1.25" edge tears at left that have been closed on verso with archival tape and minor stains at bottom. Very faint pencil notations in the image. Map has been archivally framed in a custom-built wooden frame with acid-free gray mats and UV glass. Framed Dimensions: 15 3/8" H x 13 5/8" W x 1" D.

By Pierre François Tardieu
Located in Colorado Springs, CO
1812 "United States of Nth America -- Carte des Etats-Unis De L'Amerique Septentrionale" Two-Sheet Map by Tardieu This attractive map, published in Paris in 1812, is one of the most rare large format maps from the period. It features a view of the East Coast of the U.S. from Maryland to just below South Carolina. Additionally, Ellicott’s plan for the City of Washington D.C. is included at the top right and an illustration of Niagara Falls is shown at the bottom right with a description in both French and English. This extremely detailed map not only depicts the mountainous regions of the southeastern U.S., but also includes names of regions, rivers, and towns. Based on the first state of Arrowsmith’s 4-sheet map of the United States, this map is completely engraved by Tardieu in Paris and showcases high quality engravings. This detailed map of the recently independent United States includes one of the largest and earliest examples of the Ellicott plan of Washington DC. The artist, Pierre François Tardieu (PF Tardieu) was a very well-known map engraver, geographer, and illustrator. Awarded a bronze medal by King Louis-Phillipe for the accuracy and beauty of his map-making, Tardieu produced many fine works including maps of Louisiana...
