Description
A scarce early map of the United States, showing 17 organised states; from Lake Superior to St. Augustine Florida, the Atlantic states to the Mississippi.
Georgia still extends to the Mississippi River, shortly before the organisation of the Mississippi Territory.
In the Old Northwest, the Wabash, Illlinois, Ohio & New Jersey Company lands are shown, as are the Army Lands in northern Tennessee Government. Chicago does not yet appear, but Pt. Fort is shown. Detroit is shown. Maine is not yet a state.
An interesting and attractive image, showing location of Indian tribes and pioneer forts. Indicates the location of Indian tribes, including (original spelling retained) Tchiwipais, Ottawah, Illinois, Chikasah, Criks, Mnuikogis, Chakta, Miami, Huron, Chtrokis, Simminoles, Iroquois, etc. A terrific pre-Louisiana Territory Purchase map.
Engraved by Ambroise Tardieu, who was an important French cartographer and engraver. He produced a number of excellent large format maps, including a revised edition of Aaron Arrowsmith's 4-sheet map of the United States.
Tardieu came from a family boasting a number of fine engravers, and was trained from an early age by his uncle, Pierre Alexandre Tardieu (1756–1844), a leading French engraver. Showing considerable talent in this field, Ambroise persevered and became a celebrated engraver of portraits.
In addition he was appointed as geographical engraver for the French government, for which he received a small stipend. In order to eke out this meagre wage, he began to trade in prints, books and maps. He is remembered for more than 800 portraits engraved through his career, many depicting scientists of the period.
Tardieu published a number of atlases, one of which appeared in 1842 and was titled Atlas universel de geographie, ancienne et moderne/dresse par Ambroise Tardieu pour l'intelligence de la Geographie universelle par Malte-Brun.
