(Massachusetts) Hammond, Benjamin, 6
Manuscript Maps of Lands on Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard. n.p.: c. 1740.
Various sizes, all small folio or less. This is a lot of 6 manuscript maps of
various sizes for lots of land in southeastern Massachusetts in the middle of
the 18th century. At least two of the maps are for property in Cape Cod; one is
for land in Tisbury, Martha's Vineyard, owned by Abraham Chase. 4 of the 6 maps
were drawn by Benjamin Hammond (b. 1673, d.1747), a noted surveyor who lived in
Rochester, Mass. One of the maps is dated 1775 and was signed by his son
Barzillai. Hammond's father Benjamin arrived in Boston in 1634. The family
produced many notable figures of 18th century Massachusetts. $1,500.00

(Canada) [Blunt, Edmund?], [Coastal
Chart of Nova Scotia]. [New York?]: c. 1795. 52x85 cm. Unrecorded blue-back
sea chart of the coast of much of Nova
Scotia and the Atlantic Ocean to its southeast. Shows Cape Sable in the
southwest, Mines Channel in the northwest, Forked Harbor in the northeast, and
Sable Island Bank in the southeast. Generally good condition, with small tears
at the left and right edges, discoloration from rolling at the left edge. The
style of printing leads to a strong conclusion that this map is American, and a
very early publication from Blunt, though there are no identifying marks or
imprints on the map. It is far more primitive and less polished than British
maps of the period, resembling more the British charts published around 1720.
The date of the map is set by the presence of a lighthouse on Lighthouse Island
outside Halifax Harbor which existed for only a short time before burning down.
No other copies located. $6,500.00

(Philadelphia) Barralet, John James, View of the Water Works at Centre Square
Philadelphia. Philadelphia: c. 1810. 30x51 cm. First state of this early
print in Philadelphia. Fine condition, with only two very short tears. Stipple
engraving by Cornelius Tiebout. Barralet was an Irish artist who came to
Philadelphia about 1795. This is among the finest examples of his work known.
This water works was located in the center of Philadelphia, at what is now
Broad and Market Streets, the site of Philadelphia City Hall. The print is
dated by the statue by Benjamin Rush seen here, Nymph of the Schuylkill, which
was erected in 1809 and the smoke billowing from the building. The steam engine
inside was shut down in 1815. $2,500.00
The
following ten United States maps are all from Mathew Carey’s General Atlas,
published in Philadelphia in 1814. These particular maps come from one of the
extremely scarce copies which was issued with full color. Most copies seen had
outline color only. No copies of the full color edition appear in auction
records of the past 30 years, while many outline color copies appear. All of
these maps have been restored, with modern archival backing. Other flaws to
individual maps are described below. These full color maps are now among the
scarcest of Carey’s cartographic works, all of which are now in high demand.

board. Several small tears along folds, moderately worn. Full color by county
with major rivers and canals highlighted in red and proposed canals in blue.

proposed canal along the Tioga River in Tioga County, a proposed railroad from
Harrisburg to Chambersburg, the Ohio Railroad in Maryland, and the naming of
the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal along the Potomac River in Maryland. There may
also be other additions which have escaped our scrutiny. $350.00

but some ocean depths are lost. There is other wear and very light repaired
damage at that end. The rest of the map is fine for a blue-backed chart which
usually are found in poor condition. This map was an update by the noted Blunt
