Large Decorative Antique Map of the Mediterranean, ca.1770
About the Item
Antique map titled 'Carte de la Mer Mediterranee en Douze Feuilles'.
First map out of twelve fine engraved double-page and folding maps that join to create a large wall map of the Mediterranean. The detailed charts show depths, ports, fortifications and towns of the entire Mediterranean coast: for Cadiz and the Strait of Gibraltar to Oran and Tunis; Algeria and the Balearic Islands; Languedoc to Corsica and Elba; Tyrrhenian Sea; Minorca, Sardinia and Tunisia; Sicily, Malta and Libya; Adriatic Sea; Libya; Crete, Libya and Egypt; south of Turkey, Cyprus, Palestine and Egypt; south of the Egadi Islands and Crete; and north of the Egadi Islands and the Dardanelles.
Artists and Engravers: Joseph Roux owned a chart-publishing and selling business in Marseilles during the middle and latter part of the eighteenth century. A copy of this atlas was used aboard Nelson's flagship, HMS Victory, in 1802 and 1803 - a fact which shows that the Royal Navy was relying on British and foreign privately printed charts even after Alexander Dalrymple had established the Admiralty Hydrographic Office in 1795.

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...
