An extremely rare and unusual map of the world. Printed in 1798, this is one of the first maps of the world published for general audiences in the New World. While lacking in the refinement commonly seen in European maps of the same period, this map is worthy of special note by collectors as a fine example of early American cartography. Map depicts the entire world on a hemisphere projection. Geographically offers a few curious anomalies and curiosities. Alaska is expressed in its general form if bloated and inflated in the Aleutian region. Depicts several oddities in the South Pacific including 'Davis's Land and 'Land Seen by Quiros.' 'Davis's Land' appeared on a few charts in the later part of the 19th century and was supposedly discovered by Captain Davis 1722. It was claimed that 'Davis's Land' was a large body of land south and slightly to the east of the Galapagos Islands. Some suppose it to have been Easter Island, while others simply suggest that it was a complete fabrication. Antarctica is shown sketchily as Terra Australis, Cape Circumcision, and the Gulf of Sebastian. In Australia, or New Holland as it is labeled, Tasmania (Van Diemen's Land) is attached to the Australian mainland. In east Asia, map depicts the Sea of Korea, Yeso Island, and mysterious Company's Land. Prepared by Rollinson for John Payne's New Universal Geography and I. Low's New Encyclopedia. -
and that is just the first map in this book,
there is also a general chart on Mercators Projection, a table of Planets with something called Georgium Sidus, a nice engraving of an artificial sphere and the Copernican system, there is a nice map of ASIA, a color fold out chart of Vegetable Productions (some wear), fold out etching of the Observatory of Peking (some tape on back), another fold out color chart of Vegetable Production (wear at top), a fold out map of the East Indies, and lots and lots of information, and index, stained at the back as shown in the photos.
John Payne was a little known American cartographer and map publisher working in New York and Philadelphia in the last years of the 19th century. He is a somewhat mysterious figure of which little is known, but his work is important as one of the first examples of American commercial cartography. His most important work is the 1798-9 issue of Payne's New and Complete Universal Geography. -
