London: C.Cooke, 1793 Undated circa 1793. The content based on information received up until 1793. 6+990pp+2 - 88 plates, 22 maps.

To this is included a particular description of the improved state of the New Colony formed at Port Jackson and Norfolk Island, where the convicts are now settled, and an account of the excursions and discoveries made in the interior parts of New Holland. Altogether this is a gargantuan production with stunning plates and maps. Contemporary full calf, superbly rebacked with the original spine relaid. Photographs available on request.

Description:
Washington, 1849. Very good. Lithograph map in seven sections, with each sheet measuring approximately 15.5 x 25 inches. Not bound. Second issue of this monumental and important map of the Oregon Trail, described by Wheat as "a road guide for Oregon emigrants such as had never previously existed." The second issue is nearly identical to the first (which appeared in 1846), but the lithographer's name has been omitted and the numbering of sheets III and VI is reversed. An exceptionally clean set, with no splits or repairs, and almost none of the toning often seen along the folds. Charles Preuss was a Prussian-born surveyor and cartographer who accompanied John C. Fremont on three of his five exploratory expeditions in the American West. His first great map, illustrating Fremont's explorations of 1842 to the Rocky Mountains and of 1843-44 to Oregon and California, was published in 1845. Fremont set off on his third expedition later that year, but Preuss remained behind, using information compiled… Read More
