Turgot's map of Paris is possibly the most ambitious urban mapping ever undertaken. Shows the whole of 18th century Paris and offers a wonderful perspective on the city prior to Baron Georges Eugène Haussmann’s 19th-century redesign. Turgot, who held the mayor-like office of Prévôt des Marchands de Paris , commissioned Louis Bretez and Claude Lucas to produce this map in 1734. <a href="http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/Paris4-turgot-1900>... more</a> </p><br> http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/Paris4-turgot-1900 http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/Paris4-turgot-1900 <p><a href="http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/NewYork-tiddeman-1773"><img src="http://www.geographicus.com/mm5/graphics/00000001/S/NewYork-tiddeman-1773-S.jpg" alt="antique map" title="Antique & Rare Maps" border="0" /></a> A scarce and impressive colonial period c. 1773 Mark Tiddeman nautical chart of New York City and harbor. Oriented to the west and centered on Coney Island (Cunny I.), Tiddeman's chart coves from Staten Island to Jamaica Bay and from Sandy Hook to Harlem (northern Manhattan). There is a compass rose in the lower left quadrant. Relief, towns, and mills are represented pictorially. Numerous depth soundings fill the harbor and sand banks are rendered with stippling. <a href="http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/NewYork-tiddeman-1773>... more</a> </p><br> http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/NewYork-tiddeman-1773 http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/NewYork-tiddeman-1773 <p><a href="http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/NewJersey-kitchell-1860"><img src="http://www.geographicus.com/mm5/graphics/00000001/S/NewJersey-kitchell-1860-S.jpg" alt="antique map" title="Antique & Rare Maps" border="0" /></a> Magnificently detailed, visually stunning, and monumentally proportioned, this is William Kitchell's seminal 1860 case map of New Jersey. Dissected and mounted on thirty-six linen backed panels, this map covers the entire state of New Jersey as well as the Delaware Bay, and adjacent parts of New York, Pennsylvania (particularly Philadelphia), and Delaware. Breathtaking detail is featured throughout. <a href="http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/NewJersey-kitchell-1860>... more</a> </p><br> http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/NewJersey-kitchell-1860 http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/NewJersey-kitchell-1860 <p><a href="http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/NewHampshire-carrigain-1814"><img src="http://www.geographicus.com/mm5/graphics/00000001/S/NewHampshire-carrigain-1814-S.jpg" alt="antique map" title="Antique & Rare Maps" border="0" /></a> A scarce and monumental cartographic achievement, this is Philip Carrigain's 1816 map of New Hampshire. Carrigain's map is without a doubt the largest and most important specific map of New Hampshire ever published. This vast and beautifully produced map covers the entire state of New Hampshire as well as adjacent parts of Vermont, Massachusetts (as far as Boston), and Maine. An inset at right details the greater New York and New England region. <a href="http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/NewHampshire-carrigain-1814>... more</a> </p><br> http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/NewHampshire-carrigain-1814 http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/NewHampshire-carrigain-1814 <p><a href="http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/NewYorkNewJersey-lotter-1777"><img src="http://www.geographicus.com/mm5/graphics/00000001/S/NewYorkNewJersey-lotter-1777-S.jpg" alt="antique map" title="Antique & Rare Maps" border="0" /></a> An important 1777 Revolutionary War Era map of New York and New Jersey by Claude Joseph Sauthier and Matthew Lotter. This map is Lotter's German edition of Sauthier's map of 1776. The map covers from Quebec and Lake Champlain along the Hudson Valley Corridor south as far as Delaware Bay, inclusive of all of New York (as it then appeared) and New Jersey, as well as significant portions of adjacent Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Delaware. <a href="http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/NewYorkNewJersey-lotter-1777>... more</a> </p><br> http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/NewYorkNewJersey-lotter-1777 http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/NewYorkNewJersey-lotter-1777 <p><a href="http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/Carolina-vankeulen-1687"><img src="http://www.geographicus.com/mm5/graphics/00000001/S/Carolina-vankeulen-1687-S.jpg" alt="antique map" title="Antique & Rare Maps" border="0" /></a> Among the most scarce and decorative Dutch nautical charts of the American southeast, this is Johannis Van Keulen's and C. J. Vooght's 1687 maritime map of the Virginia, Carolina, Georgia and Florida coasts. Oriented to the west (with north to the right), this map covers from the entrance to the Chesapeake Bay southwards, along the eastern seaboard, as far as Cape Canaveral, Florida. Like most nautical charts, this map focuses on the coast line and offers limited inland data. <a href="http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/Carolina-vankeulen-1687>... more</a> </p><br> http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/Carolina-vankeulen-1687 http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/Carolina-vankeulen-1687 <p><a href="http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/WestCoast2-vancouver-1799"><img src="http://www.geographicus.com/mm5/graphics/00000001/S/WestCoast2-vancouver-1799-S.jpg" alt="antique map" title="Antique & Rare Maps" border="0" /></a> One of the great navigator George Vancouver's most important and influential maps, this is the 1799 general reconnaissance of the west coast of America from San Diego to Kodiak Island, Alaska. At last the west coast of America, particular the Pacific Northwest, appears on the map much as it is in reality. <a href="http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/WestCoast2-vancouver-1799>... more</a> </p><br> http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/WestCoast2-vancouver-1799 http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/WestCoast2-vancouver-1799 <p><a href="http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/Paris1710-jaillot-1900"><img src="http://www.geographicus.com/mm5/graphics/00000001/S/Paris1710-jaillot-1900-S.jpg" alt="antique map" title="Antique & Rare Maps" border="0" /></a> This majestic twelve panel map or plan of Paris is the c. 1900 Taride reissue of an important map originally prepared by Pierre Bullet, Francois Blonde, A. Bonnardt, and Bernard J. H. Jaillot. Like many early maps of Paris the present example is oriented to the east. Centered on the Ile de la Cite, this map covers Paris from the Bastille to the western end of the Jardin de Tuilleries and from Montmarte to L'Observatorie. <a href="http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/Paris1710-jaillot-1900>... more</a> </p><br> http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/Paris1710-jaillot-1900 http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/Paris1710-jaillot-1900 <p><a href="http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/World-arrowsmithlewis-1838"><img src="http://www.geographicus.com/mm5/graphics/00000001/S/World-arrowsmithlewis-1838-S.jpg" alt="antique map" title="Antique & Rare Maps" border="0" /></a> A late unrecorded state of Arrowsmith's double hemisphere map of the world on a globular projection. Dating to 1838 and published well after the death of both Aaron Arrowsmith and Samuel Lewis, this is without a doubt the last iteration of this seminal map. The present example follows the re-engraving of Arrowsmith's globular projection by Philadelphia publisher Samuel Lewis for sale to American audiences.

Issued around 1650 by the Dutch cartographer Joannes Blaeu, this view details the southern tip of Manhattan, then New Amsterdam (Nieuw Amsterdam), as it appeared under the Dutch colonial government. <a href="http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/NieuwAmsterdamManhattan-blaeu-1652>... more</a> </p><br> http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/NieuwAmsterdamManhattan-blaeu-1652 http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/NieuwAmsterdamManhattan-blaeu-1652 <p><a href="http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/AmeiqueSeptentrionale-vanderaa-1729"><img src="http://www.geographicus.com/mm5/graphics/00000001/S/AmeiqueSeptentrionale-vanderaa-1729-S.jpg" alt="antique map" title="Antique & Rare Maps" border="0" /></a> A fine 1729 map of North America by Pieter Van der Aa with an elaborate frame style border. Centered on the Great Lakes, this map covers all of North America from the Baffin Bay to the Spanish Map and from California to the Azores (Acores). The map is color coded according to the dominant colonial powers; the regions of Florida, New Mexico, New Spain (Mexico), California, Nouvelle France, the lands of the Hudson Bay Company, and the British Colonies along the eastern seaboard being identified. <a href="http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/AmeiqueSeptentrionale-vanderaa-1729>... more</a> </p><br> http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/AmeiqueSeptentrionale-vanderaa-1729 http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/AmeiqueSeptentrionale-vanderaa-1729 <p><a href="http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/CarteduMexiqueEtatsUnis-delisle-1783"><img src="http://www.geographicus.com/mm5/graphics/00000001/S/CarteduMexiqueEtatsUnis-delisle-1783-S.jpg" alt="antique map" title="Antique & Rare Maps" border="0" /></a> This is the 1783 Dezauche issue of Phillipe Buache and Guillaume D L'Isle's important map of North America and the West Indies. The map covers the United States, Mexico, New Mexico, Central America and the West Indies or Antilles. De L'Isle first issued this map in 1703. At the time it was by far the most sophisticated map of the region yet produced, an achievement that the map historian Carl Wheat considers 'a towering landmark along the path of Western cartographic development'. <a href="http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/CarteduMexiqueEtatsUnis-delisle-1783>... more</a> </p><br> http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/CarteduMexiqueEtatsUnis-delisle-1783 http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/CarteduMexiqueEtatsUnis-delisle-1783 <p><a href="http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/UnitedStatesCanada-delisle-1783"><img src="http://www.geographicus.com/mm5/graphics/00000001/S/UnitedStatesCanada-delisle-1783-S.jpg" alt="antique map" title="Antique & Rare Maps" border="0" /></a> This is the 1783 Dezauche issue of Phillipe Buache and Guillaume D L'Isle's important map of northern North America.

The map covers from the Bight of Benin to the Indian Ocean and from Arabia and the Red Sea to Mozambique. It includes two decorative cartouches as well as stylized images of African fauna, including elephants, monkeys, and ostriches. <a href="http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/AethiopiaPresbiteriJoannis-blaeu-1635>... more</a> </p><br> http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/AethiopiaPresbiteriJoannis-blaeu-1635 http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/AethiopiaPresbiteriJoannis-blaeu-1635 <p><a href="http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/MostInhabitedPartofNewEngland2-jeffreysmead-1774"><img src="http://www.geographicus.com/mm5/graphics/00000001/S/MostInhabitedPartofNewEngland2-jeffreysmead-1774-S.jpg" alt="antique map" title="Antique & Rare Maps" border="0" /></a> A highly significant map, this is the 1774 'Jefferys' Map' of the Most Inhabited Part of New England . Centered on the Massachusetts Bay Colony, this map covers from Long Island to Lake Champlain and from the Hudson River to Cape Cod and Kennebec Bay, Maine. There is an inset of Boston in the upper left corner and another of Boston Harbor near the cartouche in the lower right quadrant. This scarce map was drawn by Braddock Mead (a.k.a.

J. N. De L'Isle and Buache drew this map to illustrate their speculations on the feasibly of a Northwest Passage. Cartographically this map is a combination of data absconded from the Russian “Academy of Sciences” and Buache’s speculations on the Northwest Passage. This map is highly significant for its revival of the 'Sea of the West' hypothesis. <a href="http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/NouvellesDecouvertsArctic-delisle-1730>... more</a> </p><br> http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/NouvellesDecouvertsArctic-delisle-1730 http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/NouvellesDecouvertsArctic-delisle-1730 <p><a href="http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/AntillesMexiqueFlorida-buache-1780"><img src="http://www.geographicus.com/mm5/graphics/00000001/S/AntillesMexiqueFlorida-buache-1780-S.jpg" alt="antique map" title="Antique & Rare Maps" border="0" /></a> A fine example of the 1789 Dezauche edition of Buache's important map of the West Indies. Centered on Cuba, this massive map covers Central America, the Gulf of Mexico, the West Indies, and the Caribbean from Mexico and Texas to the Lesser Antilles and from Florida to the Spanish Main. Cartographically Buache derived this map from Henry Popple's remarkable 1733 map of North America. As a whole it exhibits numerous significant advances over earlier Buache / De L'Isle model of the region. <a href="http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/AntillesMexiqueFlorida-buache-1780>... more</a> </p><br> http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/AntillesMexiqueFlorida-buache-1780 http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/AntillesMexiqueFlorida-buache-1780 <p><a href="http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/CoursduMississipi-delisle-1782"><img src="http://www.geographicus.com/mm5/graphics/00000001/S/CoursduMississipi-delisle-1782-S.jpg" alt="antique map" title="Antique & Rare Maps" border="0" /></a> A foundational map and one of the most important illustrations of North America ever published, this the 1782 Dezauche edition Guillaume De L'Isle's influential Carte de la Louisiane et du Cours du Mississipi . <a href="http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/CoursduMississipi-delisle-1782>... more</a> </p><br> http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/CoursduMississipi-delisle-1782 http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/CoursduMississipi-delisle-1782 <p><a href="http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/MostInhabitedPartofNewEngland-jeffreysmead-1774"><img src="http://www.geographicus.com/mm5/graphics/00000001/S/MostInhabitedPartofNewEngland-jeffreysmead-1774-S.jpg" alt="antique map" title="Antique & Rare Maps" border="0" /></a> A highly significant map, this is the 1774 'Jefferys' Map' of the Most Inhabited Part of New England .
