An extremely attractive example of Jacques-Nicolas Bellin’s 1758 map of Saint Lucia (St. Lucia) or Sainte Lucie in the West Indies. St. Lucia is considered among the most beautiful of the Windward Isles. This map covers this spectacular Caribbean island in considerable detail showing mountains, cities, and forests in Bellin’s distinctive profile style. Good harbors are marked with miniature anchors. A decorative rococo style title cartouche appears in the upper left quadrant. eBay item number 234889214538 #stlucia #bellinmap #stlucie #stluciamap #oldmap #map #cartography #maps #vintagemap #oldmaps #antiquemaps #vintage #vintagemaps #antiquemap #raremaps #history #thcentury #geography #antique #antiquemapsandprints #mapart #art #raremap #travel #alteagallery #worldmap #mapcollecting #mapmaker #antiques #oldmapsandprints https://www.instagram.com/p/CoYNt0EISeM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Spencer's pick is a remarkable discovery: a scarce 1864 book on #Gettysburg, with ms. notes describing the battle, and two tipped-in maps: one an unrecorded printed map by Andrew J. Cross, another a manuscript map of the battle dated to 1863! #geographicus #li #antiquemaps #civilwar #battleofgettysburg #americancivilwar #raremap #antiquemap Http://bit.ly/geographicus (at Geographicus Rare Antique Maps) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3w9cQyptKD/?igshid=1vn0g2dno5koc

The History of the World by Sir Walter Raleigh. Fourth edition from 1628, complete with 8 fold-out maps. Petra has been on my mind lately (@bedouin_official just did a set for @cerclemusic at Al-Khazneh, for anyone interested), so here are three maps that all feature that ancient Jordanian city. The History of the World is an ambitious work that surveys the beginning of civilization to 146 BC, dealing primarily with biblical, Greek, and Roman history. Raleigh wrote the book while imprisoned in the Tower of London, completing it with the aid of assistants and the Tower’s library, which included more than 500 books. #petra #petrajordan #sirwalterraleigh #historyoftheworld #rarebooks #raremaps #neareast (at B & B Rare Books, Ltd.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcbBQnDJicP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Today we head to Eastern Canada... 🇨🇦 'Carte des Bayes, Rades et Port de Plaisance dans l'Isle de Terre Neuve. Dressée sur les Manuscrits du Dépôt des Cartes, Plans, et Journaux de la Marine, par N. B. Ingénieur du Roy et de la Marine, 1744.' was drawn by Jacques Nicolas Bellin (marine engineer, hydrographer and cartographer to the King), and engraved on copper by Guillaume Dheulland. It was included in "Histoire et Description Generale de la Nouvelle France, avec Le Journal Historique d'un Voyage fair par Ordre du Roi dans L'Amerique Septentrionnale" by François Xavier de Charlevoix. It was published by Chez Rollin Fils of Quai des Augustins, à Saint Athanse, and au Palmier, à Paris in 1744. So this map is only 273 years outdated... it's quite incredible to imagine explorers charting these water and mapping the towns along the coasts, many of which are still expanding cities and ports today. And, on the bottom, you can see the bay where they found it best to keep the boats in the freezing winters. Though these waters may be a tad icy cold today, in the summer months they sure are stunning! ✏️🇨🇦🗺 #cartes #canada #canadianmap #map #mapofnewfoundland #newfoundland #explorenewfoundland #newfie #portdeplaisance #bay #terreneuve #canadianhistory #explorers #traveltheworld #antiquemaps #raremaps #mapsforsale #uniquegifts #giftfortraveler #wallmap #wallart #walldecor #inspiration #homedecor #details #interiordesign #getoutthere #livemore #travelcanada #keepongoing (at Baie de Plaisance)

Happy Wednesday!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Shall we take another journey back in time through an old map?
We have today this beautiful reproduction map of North America by Herman Moll, circa 1719.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One of Herman Moll’s most famous maps often referred to as The Codfish Map.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As an enhancement to his “Map of North America,” Moll engraved orthographic or plan views of ten bays in North America and the Caribbean in the lower left-hand corner of the map. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Each bay was the location of a major port city and harbour. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Five of the port cities were British (St. John’s, Boston, New York, Charleston, and Port Royal) and five were Spanish (Havana, Portobello, Vera Cruz, Cartagena, and Acapulco). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Moll engraved the insets in the style of navigational charts complete with numbers on some of the charts representing depth soundings in fathoms.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Herman Moll (1654?-1732) was a London cartographer, engraver, and publisher. ⠀⠀⠀
