Claude Joseph Sauthier (1736-1802), A Chorographical Map of the Province of New-York in North America, January 1, 1779, William Faden (1750-1836) publisher, black and white line engraving with period hand color on laid paper sectionally attached to linen, 75 x 57 in. (overall); unframed
Sauthier's Chorographical Map of New York is considered to be the iconic map of the region from the American Revolution and is a fine cartographic example of colonial New York. The 1779 Chorographical Map represents a massive expansion in size and detail from the 1776 Sauthier Map of the Province of New York. As both the headquarters of the British occupation during the war, and the focus of many conflicts, Sauthier's work as military surveyor of New York proved a vital resource to British the war effort. This copy of the map was exhibited at the Wren Building, College of William and Mary. Copies of this map are held in the Library of Congress, The Norman B. Leventhal Map Center at the Boston Public Library, and in the New York Public Library.
