A propos de cet article

Good. Mend to bottom centerfold just entering border. Size 14 x 18.75 Inches. This is Edward Wells' 1700 map of the British colonies in North America, including insets of the islands of Bermuda, Barbados, and Jamaica. A New Toponymy It is one of only a few English maps of the colonies from this period. Of particular interest is the profusion of now-recognizable place names evident throughout. While Dutch and French maps of the 17th and early 18th centuries tended to give precedence to the names of the tribes with whom they intended to trade, the English in this region came with the intent to settle, and they brought their names along with them. New England, in particular, is rich in familiar names. By contrast, the colonies of New York and Pennsylvania show more trees than settlements and are evocative of the frontier. A Closer Look Intended for academic use, the map is executed in a clear and simple style. The main map extends from North Carolina to the coast of Maine, showing 'Part of the Bay of Funda'. Additional inset maps focus on the Southeast (northern Florida to South Carolina), and 'New Scotland', which embraces Nova Scotia and New Brunswick up to the Saint Lawrence River. The inset of Jamaica illustrates the parishes and Port Royal. All three of the island insets include notes regarding the relative sizes of the islands, while the insets for Carolina and New Scotland employ latitude and longitude bars to differentiate scale from the main map. New Scotland, Halifax, and a Question of Date This example is the rare third state as identified by Burden dating to c. 1743. This version of the map added a number of place names not present on earlier editions. Burden notes: Near New York, Perth is renamed Perth-Amboy . Kent (Island) is identified in Chesapeake Bay and the towns of Somerset, Guilford, Scarborough, Norfolk and nearby the Elizabeth R. are inserted. The Carolina inset now includes the town of London and the new colony of GEORGIA and its capital Savanna . The top right inset has added the GULPH of ST. LAURENCE and a nearby French Factory, Canso and Halifax (sic) are added and Port Royal renamed Annapolis Royal reflecting its English control. Port Royal , Jamaica, previously engraved rather tightly spaced on land is re-engraved offshore, and Cavendish F . and Harrington Sound are added to Bermuda. The appearance of 'Hallifax' on this third state does put Burden's dating in question, as that settlement was not founded and named until 1749. Institutional cataloging for the late editions of Wells' New Sett of Maps is inconsistent; we do see some dated as late as c. 1750. It is possible that the political backers for the Halifax colony had spread the idea around sufficiently for it to take hold in England prior to the colony's actual founding, but lacking concrete evidence, Occam's razor suggests a later date for the map as being more likely. Publication History and Census This map was prepared for inclusion in Wells' A new sett of maps both of ancient and present Geography in 1700; this student atlas was successful and stayed in publication for many years thereafter. This third state example is dated by Burden as c. 1743, although its content suggests a date after 1749. References: OCLC 436110026. Burden, P., The Mapping of North America, #773, state 3.…
