$16.23 Shipping Location: New York, United States NOVA ANGLIA SEPTENTRIONALI AMERICAE IMPLANTATA ANGLORUMQUE COLONIIS FLORENTISSIMA GEOGRAPHICE EXHIBITA. By Joh. Baptista Homann. Nuremberg. Ca.1716(no ... moredate) This wonderful 300 year old hand colored map of"Nova Anglia" New England) covers much more than New England. The map covers a broad area from New France(Canada) to the Delaware Bay, and from Philadelphia to Nova Scotia including all of New England. Also included is New York, New Jersey and part of Canada and Pennsylvania. The map measures 19 x 23 inches(20 3/4 x 24 inches with borders) The map features both Native American and European settlements. The coast along Massachusetts to Maine is marked with soundings as well as banks and shoals. The cartouche in the lower right corner depicts a well dressed European merchant trading goods with a Native American in return for beaver pelts. This map was made at a time when little was known of the Northeast interior which is obvious from the placement and size of Lake Champlain. Other inaccuracies include a large lake"Zuyd Lac" on the Delaware River and the fictitious region of"Norumbeag" at the head of Penobscot bay. Even parts of the coastline are inaccurate, Homann has Cape Cod as an island. These inaccuracies along with some of the odd place names"Novum Belgium" and"Nieuw Nederland" are what make this lovely map so interesting. I believe this map was taken from Homann's"Atlas Novus" which was first published circa 1716. The map was printed on hand laid paper(see last picture for watermark) The map has some extremely minor foxing and there are two small tears at the bottom of the centerfold in the border which enter into the map approx. 1/4 inch. Overall this map is in very good condition! As with all of my items I am starting this auction at $9.99 with NO RESERVE!

1854 US Coast Survey Nautical Chart Nantucket Massachusetts depths soundings
This Auction is for an Unframed Modern REPRINT of an Antique Map This map is printed on specially coated. Matte finish, paper for sharper print quality and colors that are vivid. Original Map Details(A No. 11) Preliminary Chart of Nantucket Shoals Massachusetts. 1853 Approximate Image Size 16.5 X 18 inches Details" This beautiful and important sea chart or map depicts the waters immediately surrounding the island of Nantucket. Massachusetts, including Davis Shoal, Old South Shoal, and others. Uncommon, highly significant, and often underappreciated, this 1854 map reveals an important stage in the charting of the shoals off Nantucket. Though the unpredictable waters off Nantucket were long a nemesis to sailing vessels on the important London New York shipping routes, they had never been properly charted. The harsh conditions, including ... morerapid unexpected swells and frequent heavy fog, contrived to make the hydrographic survey of the hazards south of Nantucket one of the most dangerous and challenging projects of the early Coast Survey. The first survey party to tackle this area was lead by the indomitable Lieutenant Commanding Charles H. Davis. Starting at Old South Shoal, a known danger, Davis worked his way southward and soon discovered New South Shoal, which is here renamed Davis Shoal in his honor. Working seasonally, it took the Coast Survey to 1853, fully seven years, to complete the survey of the Old South Shoal and Davis Shoal. Bache himself discussed the difficult of accurately mapping the regions south and west of Nantucket in his 1852 Congressional Report: The most difficult piece of hydrography on our coast has been completed during the past season. The area of broken ground east and south of the island of Nantucket is nearly seven hundred miles in extent, and is spread with dangers, some real and some only apparent. The work which has been prosecuted there perseveringly for some seasons has made the position of the dangers fully known, and has in turn employed the resources and taxed the pe
