FULLER, CAPTAIN WILLIAM; JEFFERYS, THOMAS; and DE BRAHM, WILLIAM GERARD Plan of Amelia Island in East Florida [and] A Chart of the Entrance into St. Mary's River...[and] A Chart of the Mouth of Nassau River...
London: Thomas Jefferys, 26 March 1770. Engraved map on a single sheet, outline and wash color. Sheet measures 21 3/8 x 29 3/4 inches (54 x 75.5 cm); framed. Pale toning, faint offsetting, oxidation to wash color, mat burn in margins, a few short tears along margins and one at bottom of fold, altogether a very attractive example in original condition.
A rare set of three eighteenth-century sea charts showing how to navigate the natural deep water port at Amelia Island, and the mouths of the St. Mary's and Nassau Rivers in Northeast Florida. The charts were printed on a single sheet by the British royal cartographer Thomas Jefferys, using De Brahm's large-scale map of South Carolina and Georgia and Captain William Fuller's 1769 surveys as source material.
