June 29th - 1st Oct	Hereford Cathedral International Mappae Mundi Exhibition 1999 As part of the Mappa Mundi Conference 1999, the Mappa Mundi & Chained Library Exhibition is bringing together nearly all the few surviving examples of medieval world maps from collections around the globe. These maps and books, some of which have never been seen publicly before, will be exhibited alongside the Hereford Mappa Mundi and Chained Library in the beautiful, award-winning New Library Building at Hereford Cathedral creating an exhibition of unique and historical significance.	http://www.ibmpcug.co.uk/~mserve/mappconf.html http://www.ibmpcug.co.uk/~mserve/mapmundi.html
August 2nd - end of September	Map Room of the Royal Geographical Society Exhibition of maps showing the paths of the total solar eclipse over England & Wales. These are contemporary maps of the Ordnance Survey for the eclipses of 15 March 1858, 29 June 1927, and of 11 August 1999. Thus the exhibition concentrates on the national mapping organisation's products of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and - fortuitously - acts as a continuation of those of the 18th century in the British Library Map Library's exhibition (see below) The maps (with other related material) may be viewed in the Society's House Monday to Friday, 10.00-17.00 hours, until the end of September 1999. Visitors from abroad (including Martians and other ETs) should remember that Monday 30 August is a Bank Holiday (i.e. public holiday) in the United Kingdom, and we shall be closed that day.	Francis Herbert (Curator of Maps, RGS-IBG)
August 9th - end of October	British Library "The Shadow of the Moon: an exhibition of British solar eclipse mapping in the 18th century." The exhibition is curated by Geoff Armitage, author of the recent book of the same title, copies of which are available for purchase in the Library's Bookshop. The exhibition is located in the lobby at the entrance to the Maps Reading Room on the 3rd floor of the British Library at St Pancras, 96 Euston Road, London NW1 2DB (nearest tubes: Kings Cross/St Pancras or Euston). Additional examples of eclipse mapping will also be on display in the "Treasures of the British Library" in the Ritblat Gallery on the upper ground floor for the next few weeks, where there are other maps on permanent exhibition. Map Library is open Monday 10-5, Tuesday to Saturday 9.30-5; the Library building is open seven days.	0171 412 7702 for further information

Catalogues Received
Roderick M. Barron Catalogue 33: 'Speed' 59pp; 262 items, 80 b&w, 4 colour illustrations.	The principal section is a listing of maps from Speed's folio atlases, the 'Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine', and the 'Prospect of the Most Famous Parts of the World' (1676). Other sections are 'Recent Acquisitions' and a Shortlist of European maps of Japan. A real rarity is a previously unrecorded - and apparently unique - example of Speed's map of Canaan, first published in 1611, here re-published by Christopher Browne, circa 1695.
Martayan Lan Catalogue 24: 'Fine Antique Maps, Atlases, Globes & City Views' 64pp; 175 items, 145 b&w, 13 colour illustrations.	Lavishly produced catalogue. Among the rarities on offer are John Seller's chart of the Eastern Seaboard from Cape Hatteras to Newfoundland, published in 1675, Johann Christoph Rhode's two sheet map of the Theatre of War in the French and Indian War, 1756, and Andrew Dury's broadsheet map of Boston and its environs, published in 1776, which shows the British besieged in Boston, by the encircling American forces, under Washington. The week after the plan was published, the British were forced to evacuate the city. As a consequence, the British, being poor losers, threw away the map, and it is now very rare. Visual highlight of the catalogue, however, is Romeijn de Hooghe's map of the Mediterranean, published in 1694. The chart is surrounded by 38 etched vignette views of principal ports of the region. When seen in contemporary colour, as here, it is a spectacular - to err on the side of understatement - example of Dutch cartography, from its "Golden Age".
The O'Shea Gallery ‘Antiquarian Maps Of Germany March 1999’ Photocopied list, 9pp, 214 items, 1 illustration	A good general selection, divided into regions, strong on maps by Visscher, de Wit, Danckerts, Coronelli, and the Homann family, from the period circa 1670 to circa 1740.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE check your spelling before you publish on line...I assume you are all college educated folks...can you not spell 'curiosity' properly? Refer to your Map Curiosity site and correct it.

S. Jackson.

The Editor: Our crime was to spell 'Curiosity' 'Curiosioty' in the "Mad-Head" article, an obvious typographical error rather than ignorance. In an article with a hundred Dutch words and some French it is impossible to use the spell-checking tool effectively, so human error can never be ruled out, and in a complex article like that, our best attention was quite simply directed to the difficult words.

The Editor: Dear Sir
Thank you for your enquiry regarding the Speed map of Poland. Unfortunately, Bassett and Chiswell are no longer in business, but you could try one of the advertisers in MapForum. Please see our Advertiser List

Attached is my response to an article from your January 1999 Map Forum which took exception to my written comments made about early maps of the United States. Thank you in advance for the opportunity to respond.

Tim Coss

I recently learned of an article on early American maps posted on the Map Forum last January 19 which takes issue with an article I wrote for the Map Collector in December 1993. It deals with a little-known map by Robert de Vaugondy, re-issued under a new title by Jean Baptiste Fortin in 1778, “Carte du Canada et des Etats-Unis de L’Amerique.” To the best of my knowledge, it was not mentioned in any map reference book until the early 1990’s. The Library of Congress obtained a copy last December at a Sotheby’s auction in London.

In the Map Collector, I said that with the emergence of the Vaugondy/Fortin map, the Eliot map could no longer claim sole possession of a number of “firsts” previously attributed to it: “first to present the name United States (in the French version, Etats Unis, in the cartouche)” – Seymour Schwarz in The Mapping of America; “first such reference to the new nation as a unit” – Newberry Library catalog; “first cartographic recognition of American independence” – Walter Ristow, American Maps and Mapmakers. It could no longer claim sole possession because both it and the Vaugondy/Fortin were dated 1778, with no month or day mentioned.

More importantly, I said that the Vaugondy/Fortin must be considered the first map “of the United States,” since: “Its title is unambiguous, the area it covers includes a large portion of the territory of the original thirteen states, and no other map with these qualifications is dated as early as 1778, so far as I am aware.”

I have not been directly involved in the map business for the past 5 years, but as far as I know, what I said in the Map Collector article still holds true. I respect the opinions of the Map Forum contributor, but disagree with a number of them. I plan to keep my remarks short, and simply address a few main points.

The Forum contributor states:

“Despite Coss’ arguments, I have little doubt that the Eliot map comes first in chronological sequence. It would seem that the map was, at least in part, constructed in the Americas, if Eliot’s claim to be ‘Ingenieur des Etats Unis’ is true, at a time when the two versions ‘United Colonies’ and ‘United States’ were in parallel use, both denoting an independent political entity separate from the British, while reflecting uncertainty about the name for the new Republic. The Robert de Vaugondy/Fortin map seems to be a later form, re-engraved after the name ‘United States’ was officially adopted, presumably when the news arrived in France.”

I think it is an interesting idea that Eliot, being an American engineer, worked on the map at least partially in the United States. But even assuming this to be true, and supposing that Eliot began his sketches as early as 1776, it wouldn’t necessarily follow that the map was finished before the Vaugondy/Fortin. The date of a map is determined not by when work on it is begun or in progress, but when it is completed and the map is published.

I don’t know which map was published first. Perhaps records exist in the Bibliotheque Nationale or elsewhere which would shed light on this. If it can be proved that the Eliot map did come first, then it could reclaim the “firsts” previously attributed to it. But it’s important to note that when it comes to the central theme of the Map Collector article—that the Vaugondy/Fortin map is the earliest “of the United States: -- it does not matter which was published first. The Eliot map is of the “United Colonies” not the “United States”.

The Forum contributor also contends that the Vaugondy/Fortin map cannot be considered a map of the United States in a geographic sense because it “omits the Southern States.” Actually, it omits South Carolina and Georgia. It includes Virginia and North Carolina south to about Cape Hatteras (the name “Caroline” appears prominently on the map). It includes 11 of the original 13 States, a large majority of the population of the country at that time, and was called a map of the United States by its publisher. Everyone has to make up their own mind, but that is good enough for me.

The Editor: Thank you for your comments.
Unfortunately, the problem of precedence is simply a matter of opinion, as I doubt that there exists any proof that will resolve the argument one way or another. On that basis, I can claim no greater validity for my view on priority.
My knowledge of French publishers' methods from this period is not expert. Perhaps it may be that publication can be established from advertisements placed in French journals (a practice encountered for London and Amsterdam). Until such time as (or if) an advertisement is found, this is all informed conjecture.
In a nutshell, the founding fathers did not immediately find a satisfactory term for the union of the thirteen colonies, with 'United Colonies' and 'United States' existing in parallel to the latter part of 1777, and are therefore interchangeable.
My view is that the Eliot map reflects this uncertainty (as in the two different ways the United States is referred to in the map's title, and that its construction dates from this early period. Further, I believe that it was published before the name 'United States' (or its French equivalent) gained ascendancy of usage in France.
The Robert de Vaugondy map, which is a simple re-printing from an existing plate, with the title re-engraved, seems to me to fall into the later period, when the name 'United States' entered usage as the official collective name of the American colonies in France.
For what is it worth, I think the Zatta map of the 'Colonie Unite' (dated 1778) dates from the earlier period.
To summarise, I would argue that:
1. the first map to refer to the United States (by whatever name) as an entity is the Eliot;
2. the first map devoted to the United States as entity is the Zatta;
3. the first map to apply the name 'United States' to the new country (albeit in a wishful sense) is the Robert de Vaugondy / Fortin.
It should be remembered that (other than in title), the Robert de Vaugondy / Fortin map is a map of the theatre of war from the French and Indian War period (1755-1763) pressed into service again to save the publisher making a new map. As for it being a map of the United States, it is not. It depicts ten of the thirteen colonies. There is no meaningful detail for North Carolina, apart from the short piece of coast from the Virginia boundary south to Albemarle Sound. South Carolina and Georgia are completely omitted. I am probably being overly simplistic, but I don't think George Washington would have gone to Congress, held up the Robert de Vaugondy / Fortin map and said "This is a map of the United States ...", and that is the sort of benchmark I would use.

Tim Coss' article, which sets out his case for the Robert de Vaugondy / Fortin map, is: 'The first recorded map mentioning the "United States" 1778", The Map Collector, number 65 (Winter 1993), (Tring, Hertfordshire, Map Collectors Publications) p.34-35.

I have been able to find a facsimile of John Rocque's 1755 map of Lima at Historic Urban Plans of Ithaca, NY. Could you tell me where I might acquire an original?

Frederick W. Scholz

The Editor: Unfortunately, I have never seen an example for sale. A number of Rocque's maps, because they were issued separately, are very hard to find, while some are known to me only through being listed in his catalogues
If anyone knows of an example for sale please e-mail MapForum@btinternet.com. We will forward all messages to Mr Scholz.

Congratulations on your magazine!
I am unable to identify the map in the photo. The size of the sheet is 28 x 42 cms., engraving 24.5 x 18. Sardinia is the same, except bearing, of Mercator's "Italiae Sclavoniae et
Greciae etc." (1589). Can you help me?

Thank you and regards. Pier Luigi Dessanay

The Editor: The map is from Willem Jansz. Blaeu's Theatrum. The map was first issued in 1634. This example, with the page signature at the foot '6 S 3' appears to be from the French text edition, 'Le Theatre Du Monde Ou Nouvel Atlas ...', published in 1635.
If you have access to the standard work on Blaeu atlases, Dr. I.C. Koeman Atlantes Neerlandici (Amsterdam: Theatrum Orbis Terrarum Ltd, 1967) here are the relevant references
1634 / 1635 'Novus Atlas' - Koeman, Vol I, Bl.4 / Bl.5, map no (128) [156] (this latter number is the unique identification given to each Blaeu map)
1635: 'Le Theatre Du Monde' - Koeman, Vol I, Bl 12, map (180).
