Description

Important early English Chart of the Chesapeake and Delaware Bay region, based upon the seminal work of Augustine Hermann.

Thornton & Fisher's two sheet map of the Chesapeake is ased upon Augustine Hermann's highly influential map of the region. Originally issued in 1689 for inclusion in the English Pilot, Fourth Book, the map went through 5 states between 1689 and 1728 and was later reissued by Grierson in 1730 Mount & Page (1742 and after). The map derives from Thornton's rare map of the same region issued first with Robert Greene in 1675 and later with Robert Morden and Philip Lea. The map incorporates information form Thomas Holme's rare map of Pennsylvania issued in 1687, for which Thornton was the distributor.

This fourth state can be identifed by additions of sounding below Cape Charles and by the inclusion of the Thornton and Fisher imprint.

Condition Description
Minor restorations in scale of miles, else a nice example.
