One sheet of Brue's rare wall map of the World. The map includes a nice representation of the results of the Lewis & Clark expedition, as well as other British, American and Russian expeditions into the region. Brue had early access to the reports of Humboldt, Lewis & Clark, Pike and other American explorers and frequently reported on important discoveries before the official accounts were published.
The complete wall map rarely appears on the market.
Andre Hubert Brué was a French geographer and cartographer. Born in Paris, he served in the French Navy, joining the Baudin expedition to the Pacific (1800-1804). After his sea service, Brué applied his navigation and charting skills to creating finely-crafted maps, which were renowned for their crisp engraving and accuracy. He drew directly on the copper of the plate, creating what he called encyprotypes. He is best known for the Atlas universal de géographie physique, politique, ancienne et moderne.
