Description

An old world map of 1810, dated to the day

Sherwood, Neely and Jones published this sheet in London on the first of October 1810, and the imprint gives the day, not just the year. It is an old Mercator map in the plainest sense: the title names the projection, and the Library of Congress record adds only that relief is shown by hachures. On 25 by 41 cm this was a working map, not a display piece, and we have not dressed it up: the record names no engraver, no coloring and no atlas, so neither do we.

Library of Congress, Geography and Map Division, call number G3200 1810 .S4, LCCN 2017585655. The Library states the content is free to use and reuse, crediting the division. This sheet needed more work than most, and the passport in every archive names all of it: a stamp dated 31 May 1934 lay across the engraving in the South Pacific and was lifted, the graticule line it broke was drawn again from the profile of the same line, and writing showing through from the back was patched between the meridians. There is no TIFF master in the package. Catalogue record: Library of Congress →
