Item description from seller

This 1834 historical copper engraved map titled "North America" presents a wide-ranging and detailed view of the North American continent as understood in the early 19th century, engraved and published by Samuel Walker. The map covers the expanse from the Arctic and Polar Seas in the north down to Central America and the Caribbean in the south, including Greenland to the northeast and the Pacific coastline to the west. Political boundaries reflect the era’s transitional geopolitics: the United States is shown in its early expansion with territories and states labeled, while large swaths of land are identified with indigenous nations such as "Sioux," "Cherokees," and "New Mexicans." Canada is referred to with British colonial terms like "Upper Canada" and "Lower Canada," and Alaska is still labeled as "Russian America." Geographic features are prominently displayed, including the Rocky Mountains, Appalachian range, Great Lakes, and major rivers such as the Mississippi, Missouri, Mackenzie, and St. Lawrence. Notable cities like New York, Mexico City, New Orleans, Quebec, and Havana are marked, though transportation networks such as railroads are not yet depicted, emphasizing natural rather than infrastructural geography. The Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea, and Hudson Bay are named, and coastal details are finely etched, including ports and settlements. Longitude is noted both from Greenwich and Washington, D.C., indicating the evolving American cartographic conventions. There are no decorative insets, but the map’s scale is noted in American miles, and it is characterized by a dense and informative labeling style indicative of the period’s exploratory and colonial interests. From the American edition, published by S. Walker, of System of Geography by M. Malte-Brun containing a description of all the empires, kingdoms, states and provinces in the known world. M. Malte-Brun / S. Walker, 1834, Boston. Approximate Overall Size: 9 x 11 ins. Condition: Very Good. Nice strike, nice toning with visible plate mark. Uncolored on period paper.

CARTOGRAPHER: Conrad Malte-Brun (August 12, 1755 - December 14, 1826) was an important late 18th and early 19th century Danish / French cartographer and revolutionary. Conrad was born in Thisted, Denmark. His parents encouraged him to a career in the Church, but he instead enrolled in the University of Copenhagen. In the liberal hall of academia Conrad became an ardent supporter of of the French Revolution and the ideals of a free press. Despite the harsh censorship laws of crown prince Frederick VI, Malte-Brun published numerous pamphlets criticizing the Danish government. He was finally charged with defying censorship laws in 1799 and forced to flee to Sweden and ultimately France. Along with colleague Edme Mentelle, Malte-Brun published his first cartographic work, the Géographie mathématique, physique et politique de toutes les parties du monde (6 vols., published between 1803 and 1807). Conrad went on to found Les Annales des Voyages (in 1807) and Les Annales des Voyages, de la Géographie et de l'Histoire (in 1819). He also founded the Paris Société de Géographie . In time, Conrad Malte-Brun became known as one of the finest French cartographers of his time. His son Victor Adolphe Malte-Brun (1816 - July 13, 1889) followed in his footsteps, republishing many of Conrad's original 18th century maps as well as producing numerous maps of his own. The Malte-Brun firm operated well into the 1880s.
