An Early Map of Florida and the Carolinas by Seligmann
About the Item
Nuremberg: Seligmann, 1755.
Copper-engraved map, with full original colour,
A fine copy of the first and only Continental edition of a 'Map of Carolina, Florida, and the Bahama Islands,' here with particularly fine period hand-colouring.
The English edition of this map (first published in Vol.II of Mark Catesby's Natural History of South Carolina, and the Bahama Islands, London, 1743) is now virtually unobtainable. This has greatly increased the desirability of this fine Continental version, which is itself quite scarce. Seligmann's Sammlung verschiedener auslaendischer und seltener Vögel was published in nine parts between 1749 and 1776, and included a German translation of Catesby's work with re-engraved versions of his images, including the present map.
Catesby's work was the first natural history of American flora and fauna. The Catesby scholar, G.F. Frick calls this map 'a good representation of the better English ideas about the geography of North America' in the period.
