A propos de cet article

Good. Creasing along centerfold and two vertical lines to the right of centerfold towards top. Light foxing towards top. Offsetting throughout. Some wear and uneven trimming along edge. Size 20 x 23.5 Inches. A lovely example of John Thomson's 1817 map of remote British islands, including the Isles of Wight, Man, and Jersey, with views of the Eddystone Lighthouse and Freshwater Bay on the Isle of Wight. A Closer Look The sheet is composed of five maps with hand colored outlines and two views. The maps, moving clockwise from top-left, depict the islands of the Bailiwick of Guernsey in the English Channel (the Isles of Guernsey, Herm, Sark, and Alderney), Jersey, the Isles of Scilly (off the far southwestern coast of England near Cornwall), the Isle of Wight, and the Isle of Man (here as 'Mann'). Each of the maps is oriented roughly towards the north and notes towns and villages, roads, forests, areas of elevation, and coastal features such as banks and hazards. At center, illustrations provide views of the Eddystone Lighthouse and of Freshwater Bay off the Isle of Wight. The Eddystone Lighthouse seen here was the third of four lighthouses at that location, dating back to 1698; the original was likely the first ever offshore lighthouse. The late 18th and 19th century brought significant change to many of the islands depicted here. Fears of French invasion - including an actual invasion of Jersey in 1781 - caused the British government to heavily fortify several of them. Meanwhile, technological improvements brought more travelers and migrants from the British mainland, altering (Anglicizing) the often deeply idiosyncratic local cultures. Publication History and Census The maps and views on this sheet were engraved by Nathaniel Rogers Hewitt for inclusion in the first edition (1817) of John Thomson's New General Atlas . It is not independently cataloged among the holdings of any institution aside from the David Rumsey Historical Map Collection, while Thomson's entire atlas is more widely distributed in institutional collections. A later edition of the sheet (1829) is independently cataloged among the holdings of the Newberry Library and the Wisconsin Historical Society (OCLC 607920871). References: Rumsey 1007.014.…
