Lot 193
Description:
* Joseph Frederick Wallet des Barres (English, 1722-1824), "Mississippi River from Iberville to Yazous", 1779, two sheet, copperplate engraving, with original wash color, from The Atlantic Neptune, sheet 64 1/2 in. x 25 in., attractively float-mounted and framed.
- Notes: Note: Des Barre's chart of the Mississippi is one of the finest detailed maps of the region produced in the 18th century. It presents the intricate curving of the river showing place names like Natches Cliff, Batton Rouge, The French Settlements of Point Coupee, Lake Maurepas and many others. Very rare, the chart was often omitted from editions of The Atlantic Neptune.
