c. 1819 Tardieu map of Mexico, Western USA and Caribbean

Rare variant edition of  marvelous French map of Mexico and the Western US. Shows United States, Spanish and British holdings. Taken from an Atlas by Malte-Brun, printed by Lapie & Poirson. The map itself engraved by Tardieu and hand-colored.
 

The first edition of Malte-Brun's map incorporates the information from Humboldt, Pike and Lewis & Clark. It is the earliest known map to show a continuous waterway from the Great Salt Lake to San Francisco Bay, the mythical Rio Buenaventura.

In this rare second edition, there are significant changes. The name Louisiana is removed and the Missori river shows the Big Bend, reflecting the information from Lewis & Clark's expedition. The mountain ranges in the area of Utah and Nevada have been removed, as have the apocryphal rivers, perhaps based in part on information derived from Arrowsmith. A definitive "Adams Onis" northern border between the US and Upper California is shown, whereas there has been no boundary in the earlier edition. Lake Teguayo and Timpanagos are much more boldly shown and are depicted in their large and more familiar shape.

     (Thanks to  Barry Lawrence Ruderman, Antique Maps Inc.)

A large decorative title cartouche showing dramatic mountains, a beautiful waterfall, and some unusual rock formations appears in the lower left quadrant.

In margin LL: ‘Gravé par J.B. Tardieu, rue Poupée No.9’ (Engraved by J.P. Tardieu, No. 9 Poupée St (Paris))
 

In margin LR: ‘Écrit par Giraldon’ (Written by Giraldon)

 
In margin top centre: ‘Longitude du Méridien de Paris’ (Longitudinal Meridian of Paris)

 
In upper right quadrant, scales for distance

 

Copper-plate engraving.

Some toning LL corner, on borders and back. Light creases. Paper is rounded from storage in a tube.

9 ⅞” x 13” //  25 x 33 cm

 

Ambroise Tardieu (1788–1841) was an eminent French cartographer and engraver, and is celebrated for his version of John Arrowsmith's 1806 map of the United States.
