Show moreThis hand-colored engraved map was first published in "Atlas Manuale A New Set of Maps of All Parts of the Earth" during the early part of the 18th century. Herman Moll was one of the foremost map publishers in England at this time. This highly detailed yet small map covers Arabian Peninsula eastward to the Persian Gulf and northward to Iraq and Desert of Syria, and the Red Sea region including part of Africa. It is a clear and attractive cartographic document that shows physical features, settlements, caravan trails, and tribal affiliation. by H. Moll, geographer. Relief shown pictorially. Main Heritage Compact General HC.MAP.00083 Print Map Item-ID: i11401473 BIB-ID: 1822137 Herman Moll was born in 1654 of German descent. He first came to London to work as an engraver for several publishers, and in the late 1670s set up his own business publishing atlases as well as maps of all parts of the world. His earliest known cartographic work is a series of small maps for the geography book of Sir Jonas Moore, published in 1683. Over the next fifty years he produced numerous works on classical, British and foreign geography, illustrated with maps of varying scales and detail yet in clear, distinctive style. Though his later work lacks the flamboyance of earlier productions, it is nevertheless still very pleasing to the eye. Molls best known works are the maps he produced for his folio atlas "The World Described", first published circa 1715. Perhaps Molls most famous map is the "New and Exact Map of the Dominions of the King of Great Britain on Ye Continent of North America", depicting the English colonies along the east coast. The map is more popularly called the Beaver Map after its attractive vignette scene of beavers building dams. His other works include the "Atlas Manuale" (1709), the "New and Complete Atlas" (1719), the "Atlas Minor" (1729) and "Atlas Geographus" (1711-17) in five volumes. Names of the places in English, and some are in Latin language. Show less

Show moreJacques-Raymond Grenier (1736-1803) was a French hydrographer known primarily for his charts of the Indian Ocean. Grenier spent the years of 1768 and 1769 exploring and charting the various islands in the Indian Ocean, particularly where the French had colonial possessions and interests. He wrote of his discoveries in his "Mémoires de la campagne de découvertes dans les mers des Indes" published in 1772. On the basis of Greniers discoveries of the currents and winds prevailing during the southwest and northeast monsoons in the Indian Ocean he discovered more direct and hence faster routes to and from French colonial possessions in India, including the Coromandel Coast of India and to the straits of Malacca, decreasing the length of such voyages by over 3,000 kilometers. This map depicts those currents and winds and shows the new shorter courses discovered by Grenier. This chart was published for the English market by Robert Sayer and Jonathan Bennett in 1778. by msr. le vicomte Grenier 1776. Map showing the currents in the Indian Ocean during the NE monsoon.
