Pub Note:
|
Two sheets. Sources noted by author: "This Map is executed according to the astronomical observations of Baron de Humboldt, and Don Joaquin de Ferrer. For Upper Louisiana, we have profited of the maps and travels of Pike, and those of Lewis and Clark; for Lower Louisiana, of the map and description of this State by M. Darby; for the Territory of Arkansas and the Province of Texas, of the map of the United States by M. Melish; and for Mexico, of the map of New Spain by Baron de Humboldt, and that of this country by M. Arrowsmith...." Prime meridian is Washington D.C. As implied in this note, the Tardieu family of cartographers were well connected in the mapping world and did excellent quality cartography for several generations, see Tooley's Dictionary of Map Makers.
