Cartography -The Cape of Good Hope 1782-1842 – from De la Rochette to Arrowsmith

Short Description

The Map Collectors’ Circle publication published in 1965, No 17 by D Schire. Very good condition.

Usual original flesh coloured card covers, design to front. 16 pages of detailed narrative and catalogue plus 15 plates of maps. Very good condition .. the covers look a little blemished but its our scanner - they are perfect.

Whilst the 1782 date refers to the maps by de la Rochette published between 1782 and 1795, we also have the Faden Plan of the Town of Cape of Good Hope which whilst published in 1795 is as a result of work completed and noted within the map in 1770.

After a very good introductory narrative, we have a single page of selected dates commencing with the District of Swellendham being proclaimed in 1743.
