Description:
Boston: A. Meisel, Lith., 1870. VG, with folds as issued, thin paper, some fold browning, a couple of small spot separations at fold junctures with no significant image loss. This is a full sized (73 x 101 cm) lighographic facsimile (reproduction) image of the Des Barres harbor chart. The sailing directions are not present, as with HNS (Henry Newton Stevens) 96C, which can be seen at the National Maritime Museum's online catalog of Des Barres charts. The town of Dorchester and other settlements have been removed at the upper left, with fortifications added. This was one of the charts in Des Barres "Atlantic Neptune," where no two atlas issues are identical. The NMM site has images of all the 1775 (and later) engraved variants. On this facsimile, "reproduced in 1870, A. Meisel, Lith." appears just below the left lower marginal neatline; "publish'd according to Act of Parilament by J.F.W. Des Barres Esq. August 5, 1775." appears just below right lower marginal… Read More

Description:
London: James Imray & Son (89 & 102 Minories), 1876. Enormous rolled blue-back chart from this prominent publisher. This is oriented more west to east, given the configuration of the Irish Channel (St. George's Channel). As always, loaded with detail. Generally very good, with 1 small tear mid channel, not seriously affecting image. Details include elaborate depth soundings throughout, the 'Lights on Coast of Scotland' and a detail list of bearings. Insets include the Firth of Clyde, Belfast Lough, Douglas Bay, North Rocks & c., Carlingford Lough, Lough Foyle, South Coast of Man (complete island on map image), Milford Haven, Lundy Island, Tuskar Bocks & c. , Holyhead Bay.
