LES ETATS UNIS DE L'AMERIQUE, dessine par Herisson, Glot
sculp. Page 48 from a French atlas, probably published by
Boiste, Paris c1806-1815. Lister lists an atlas dated
1806 for Pierre Claude Boiste, who died in 1824, and this
map may be from that atlas or a slightly later one. This
map extends west to the upper reaches of the Missouri.
Pennsylvania has an enormous Erie triangle and an
irregular southern boundary. Georgia extends to the
Mississippi, Ohio includes most of Indiana. Illinois is
named, also named are numerous Indian tribes. The map
postdates creation of Ohio as a state (1803) but its
boundaries are not shown correctly. It predates creation
of the states of Indiana (1816), Illinois (1818),
Mississippi (1817) and Alabama (1819). State boundaries
are shown with a thin dotted line colored over. Numerous
Indian tribes are named and six different milage scales
are shown at lower right. Blank verso. Scale: 1 inch =

of the map is shown. The complete map includes portions
of New Jersey, Delaware, and the Philadelphia region west

large no longitude is shown. The other plates are as

1808
LE PROVINCIE SETTENTRIONALI DEGLI STATI UNITI, an
anonomous Italian map of uncertain date and origin with
the hand color probably done later. It dates 1788-89 by
Pennsylvania counties identified and circa 1790 by the
counties shown for other states. A closeup of
Pennsylvania is shown in this detail. The District of Columbia (1791)
and the Erie triangle (1792) are shown. it resembles the
United States maps in the French edition (1807) of
Marshall’s Life of Washington but with
less detail and is slightly smaller; however no record of
an Italian edition has been found. It also resembles the
circa 1782 Bonne map, and has been seen for sale
identified as from an early 1800s Italian edition of Rochefoucault-Liancourt's
Travels. McCorkle #784.4 is a French version of
this same map, also of unknown origin and uncertain date,
though McCorkle's date (~1784) is obviously too early.
The longitude is west of Ferro at bottom, and west of 'Parigi'
at top, indicating it is based on a French map, probably
the one shown in McCorkle. Blank verso. Scale: 1 inch =
40 miles. Size: 12 x 18 inches. |

1809
UNITED STATES, a map thought to be by Aaron Arrowsmith
and dated circa 1809. However, Ohio is not identified so
the basis of the map precedes 1803. The map shows the
United States west to the Mississippi with Florida cut
off and appearing in an inset. The hand coloring does not
separate Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Several towns are
shown including 'Ft. Franklin formerly Venaga.' This map
is similar to the 1802 map shown above. Longitude west
from Greenwich, blank verso. Scale: 1 inch = 165 miles.
Size: 8 x 9.75 inches. |
