America "Amérique Septentrionale": A 19th Century French Map by Delamarche
About the Item
This framed mid 19th century map of North America entitled "Amérique Septentrionale" by Felix Delamarche was published in Paris in 1854 by Quay de l'Horloge du Palais, avec les Cartes de Guill. Delisle et de Phil. Buache.
The map includes Central America (labelled Guatimala), portions of Columbia in South America and portions of Greenland, as well as Cuba, Haiti and Santa Dominique (The Dominican Republic). Modern day Alaska is labelled Russie Americaine. Many of the areas in the midwest and west of the United States are named for the Native American tribes that live in the region, rather than their eventual English names. These territories in modern day Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Washington and Oregon include: Les Osage, Les Sioux, Les Mandanes, Les Chactas, Chipeouays, Les Serpens. California and the southwestern states are still part of Mexico at the time this map was published.
The map, which is colored in outline, is presented in a light brown distressed bleached wood frame with a cream-colored mat. The frame measures 22.63" wide x 20" high x 0.88" deep. There are two other 19th century maps of North America (the United States and one including Mexico) listed on 1stdibs that are presented in identical style frames and mats. They can be seen by entering their reference #'s (LULU5206221574182 or LULU5206221506302) in the search field. These would make an interesting and attractive grouping. A discount is available for purchase of a grouping of two or three of these maps.
There is a central vertical fold, as issued. The map is somewhat toned, although the appearance appears in part to be related to its tinting. There is some faint spotting, most prominently in the left lower portions of the map. It is otherwise in very good condition.
Félix Delamarche was a French geographer and engineer who flourished during the 18th century and early 19th century.[1][2] His father was the map publisher Charles Francois Delamarche.
Félix Delamarche became the owner of his father's map publishing company, Maison Delamarche. He ran the company alongside cartographer Charles Dien. The firm would eventually be passed down to Alexandre Delamarche.[1] Delamarche created Atlas de la géographie ancienne et moderne in 1820. The atlas was reprinted during the 19th century. It was utilized by the Ecole Spéciale Militaire de Saint-Cyr. His work is held in the collection of the Library of Congress.[3]

- Mid-19th Century American Stationary with Manuscript Letter, Signed 1854Located in Langweer, NLAmerican stationery with in the top the following text printed: E pluribus unum – Latin for "Out of many, one" (also translated as "One out of many" or "One from many") – is a traditional motto of the United States, appearing on the Great Seal along with Annuit cœptis (Latin for "he approves the undertaking [lit. 'things undertaken']") and Novus ordo seclorum (Latin for "New order of the ages"); its inclusion on the seal was approved by an Act of Congress in 1782. While its status as national motto was for many years unofficial, E pluribus unum was still considered the de facto motto of the United States from its early history. Eventually, the United States Congress passed an act (H. J. Resolution 396), adopting "In God We Trust" as the official motto in 1956. The thirteen letters of E PLURIBUS UNUM makes its use symbolic of the thirteen original states like the thirteen stripes on the US flag. The meaning of the phrase originates from the concept that out of the union of the original Thirteen Colonies emerged a new single nation. It is emblazoned across the scroll and clenched in the eagle's beak on the Great Seal of the United States. (Source: wikipedia) Text below the portraits: "The Presidents of our Great Republic."
