Description

Exceptional map of the United States, on of the earliest maps to show country from coast to coast.

Following on the mapping of the Northwest by Lewis & Clark and John Melish's landmark map of the United States from coast to coast published in 1819, Tardieu's map is one of the first to incorporate this information, with notable additions.

Tardieu's map includes significantly more topographical detail in the Pacific Northwest, improving the course of the Columbia River, adding a number of lakes  and generally improving the course and detail of the rivers west of the Rocky Mountains. The map would seem to incorporate a considerable amount of information available from the Hudson Bay Company and fur traders in the region which was not included by Melish or Lewis & Clark.

Texas is identified as "Province de Texas"  A massive Michigan Territory extends to the Mississippi River, incorporating the lands which would become Minnesota and Wisconsin.

(Mississippi Bubble) Missisippi of 't Wydbefaamde Goudland door de inbeelding der Windnegotie [Mississippi or the widely famed Goldland through the imagination of the Wind Trade (idiomatic Dutch for "speculative financial schemes")]

A powerful satire on the 1720 financial crisis, this intricate engraving comes from Het Groote Tafereel der Dwaasheid, also known as "The Mirror of Folly". Its vivid scenes critique the speculative frenzy and ensuing ruin brought about by the Mississippi Bubble, one of history's most infamous financial catastrophes.
