This is an impressive 1845 large format map of the world by Henry Teesdale. The map covers the entire world on a Mercator projection with copious notes and annotations throughout. It is significant for many reasons, but chief among them is that it is one of the few English maps to recognize the Republic of Texas (as England itself did not) - and depict its most ambitious boundary configuration. It is also the first map to show a complete northwest passage following the Deese-Simpson Expedition. The map is thorough, including the most up to date political events and discoveries, but also tends to be biased, although not always towards Anglo-centric interests. For example, the map agrees with British claims to British Columbia relating to the 54/40 Oregon Question, and ignores the discoveries of Charles Wilkes (1798 - 1877) and the U.S. Exploring Expedition (1838 - 1842), no doubt to bolster the competing exploratory claims of Englishman John Ross (1777 - 1856). Teesdale's map is beautifully presented in two sections, each of which have been dissected into sixteen panels and laid on linen. The whole folds into a beautifully tooled leather binder with marbled endpapers. (more details)
