THE FRENCH VERSION OF THE MOST IMPORTANT MAP IN AMERICA'S HISTORY

MITCHELL, JOHN | GEORGE LOUIS LE ROUGE. AMERIQUE SEPTENTRIONALE avec les Routes, Distances en miles, Villages et Etablissements Francois et Anglois par le Docteur Mitchel [sic] traduit de l'Anglois a Paris par le Rouge, Ingr. geographe du Roy rue des Grand Augustins 1756. | North America so Doctor Michel [sic] zu London in 1755: ten jahr ausgegeben jetzt aber in das franzosische ubersetzet [sic] zu Paris durch Sr. le Rouge in der grosen augustiner Strasse 1756. Nota. Francreich besitizet was grun und blau ist Egland [sic] hat das Gelbe und Will das grune darzuhaben. LE ROUGE. PARIS. 1756. OUTLINE HAND COLOR. COPPER ENGRAVING. Early French edition of the famous Mitchell map, the map used for international treaties up into the 20th century. Eight sheets in wall map format on rods with turned ends. Of especial interest in this French version is the coloring instructions found in the German portion of the title. It states, in rather incorrect German, that France possessed the green and blue areas, England held the yellow and would also claim the green. Since Frenchman didn't know or agree with the boundaries of the areas in dispute, couldn't read German or wouldn't, few copies of the French version are found correctly colored. Superb modern restoration and coloring, which was taken from a sample in the Library of Congress. Of Mitchell's original map there are 21 editions and versions, in four languages. John Mitchell was born in Virginia and educated as a physician at Edinburgh. While practicing medicine in Virginia he also made advances in biology and chemistry and corresponded with Linnaeus describing plants not known to him. In 1746 the Earl of Halifax commissioned him to return to England and prepare a map stating the British claims in North America. A partisan effort in rebuttal of previous French maps, it is the only map Mitchell is known to have drawn. A diplomat's map, the third English version was used in 1783 at the Peace of Paris negotiations to establish the boundaries of the United States as an independent nation. Many historians have claimed it to be the most important map in American history. 52”H. x 75.5"W. VERY GOOD. $35,000.00. I.D.#26403. (Have more photos if needed)

VERY RARE LEWIS ROBINSON WALL MAP OF THE COUNTRY. AKRON, OHIO 1838 UPDATED BEST EDITION

ROBINSON, LEWIS. MAP OF THE UNITED STATES Compiled from the latest authorities. Published by Lewis Robinson & Co... LEWIS ROBINSON & CO. AKRON, OHIO. 1838. PART HAND COLOR. STEEL ENGRAVING. Engraved by J.G. Darby Four sheet wall map on rods, carefully steel engraved, and hand outlined color. There are seven vicinity insets, Cincinnati, Albany, Philadelphia, Niagara, Boston, south Florida and Baltimore/Washington. Also a Statistical Table below title. The portion of Texas shown shows John Camerron's Grant, Felisola's Grant, Burnett's Grant, Vheling's Grant, Zavalla's Grant and Austin's Colony. Robinson was a prolific but highly ephemeral wall map publisher to whom Walter W. Ristow devoted two and a half pages (pp.271-73) He can be credited with being the first to emphasize regional and state maps and to distribute them in unorthodox ways, itinerant peddlers by horse and wagon. He evidently kept meticulous records for he is credited with selling these peddlers 6,774 maps. After soliciting reports of Robinson holdings from fifty libraries and collections, only 65 various examples were located in 1962. Dalphin and McCorison in their article "Lewis Robinson-Entrepreneur" provided a bibliography of known maps bearing his imprint. The large United States map first appeared in 1833 for $3; this 1838 edition is a much more finished and elegant production. Extra fine wove plate stock was used in this edition. Robinson engraved his own state maps but hired J.G. Darby to steel engrave the national ones. He created the attractive cartouche with an eagle in clouds at its top above elegant graphics. While Ristow says his coloring was unattractive, in this case it was done with care and is quite tasteful. Robinson did not copyright his maps so many issues are not in the Library of Congress collections. His U.S. maps are not in Philips. "As a result," Ristow said, "the number of extant copies of Robinson maps is shamefully small.... Little remains to bear evidence of the extraordinary energy of Lewis Robinson, entrepreneur..." Professionally restored. 38.5"H. x 47.5"W. VERY GOOD. $10,000.00. I.D.#24986.  (Have more photos if needed)
