González, Tomás
Tomás González (fl. c. 1809 - c. 1832) was a Spanish engraver active with the Dirección de Hidrografía in the early 19th century. Very few references appear to González appear in the historical record. It appears he was sent to Paris in 1802 to learn lithographic printing.

A rare find, this is the beautifully engraved 1809 Dirección de Hidrografía nautical chart or map of the mouth of the Nassau River, just to the south of Amelia Island. Florida. The river’s banks are depicted in as much detail as was likely available at the time, with only one point labeled, Pta. del Tenedero. Depth soundings populate both the northern and southern channels on either side of the Barra de Nasau. (more details)
