Description

lithograph map (sea chart). EXTREMELY RARE.

Horsburgh (1762-1836) seems to have published his first work for the East India Company in 1800 “Strait of Macasser”, 1806-1821 “Atlas of the East Indies” and “East India Pilot” in 1817 followed. He was elected member of the Royal Society in 1806 and officially appointed “Hydrographer to the East India Company” in 1810 – after the death of Dalrymple.
NOTE: Large-scale “Working Sea Charts” are inherently extremely rare due to the nature of their usage.
