NE131 - J. B. HOMANN “Nova Anglia Septentrionali Americae Implantata Anglorumque Colonis Florentissima.” Nurnberg 1716. Colored. 19X23. One of the most fascinating early charts of the northeast of North America covers a region from Delaware Bay to Eastport, Maine with many depth soundings along the coast into New York Harbor and Long Island Sound, around Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard, Georges's Bank and Jeffery's Ledge. Map shows sunken rocks, ledges and other dangers along the coast - an indication that the map may have been used by ship's captains bringing early settlers to North America. Many Indian settlements appear throughout the northeast regions. The St. Lawrence River cuts through the northern country with a tributary flowing down into a large Lake Champlain. Norumbeag in Maine is shown at the head of the Penobscot River. Both Cape Cod and Cape Ann are shown as islands. Extensive errors in coastal and topographical detail indicate how little was known of the region in the early 1700's and how much was purely speculative. Decorative title cartouche with shell and scroll motifs shows a ship's captain holding a beaver pelt and bartering with an Indian. A ship's mast with pennants flying appears in the backgound. This beautiful map was designed and engraved under the direction of Johann Baptiste Homann (1664-1724) a self taught copper engraver from Oberkammlach, Schwabia. By 1707 he was compiling his own atlases and he became Geographer to the Holy Roman Empire in 1715, and was a member of the Prussian Royal Academy of Sciences.

 NE132 - C. J. SAUTER Untitled Map. (Part of New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Vermont and Connecticut.) London. 1779. Colored. 24½X18½. This large sheet is a section of a 6 part map titled “A Chorographical Map of the Province of New York in America,” by Claude Joseph Sautier (1736-1802). Joseph Sautier was a surveyor and topographer from Strasbourg, France who came to America in 1767 as Surveyor for Governor Tryon of North Carolina and who moved to New York when Tryon was appointed Governor there in 1771. Sautier became a military draughtsman during the Revolutionary War and this map takes in areas of New England with which he was familiar. It depicts the Connecticut River flowing southward from Windsor, VT down to Springfield, Rockingham, Westminster, Putney & Brattleborough, and then into Massachusetts where the map shows a road crossing the State from Brookfield to Cambridge, Roxbury and Boston. Following the Connecticut River further south are the towns of Springfield, Enfield, Windsor, Hartford, Weathersfield and Glassenbury & Litchfield, Connecitucut.

Zatta (fl1750-1804) was an eminent Italian cartographer, publisher and compiler of maps for atlases. His set of maps of North America were based on John Mitchell's famous map of the British Dominions in North America published in 1750, but Zatta's maps all show the names of cities, towns and harbors in Italian juxtaposed with names in their original English such as Capo Cod (Cape Cod), Baja di Buzard (Buzzards Bay), Baja di Casco (Casco Bay) next to Boston, York, Winchester, Litchfield etc. The map includes the coast from Nova Scotia down to Montauk Pt on Long Island and depicts offshore banks and much detail of harbors around coastlines. An interesting note in the sea area off the coast of Portland, Maine says that Falmouth, the old name for Portland, was burned by the British in 1775. This a very attractive map in fine condition.
