Rare Maps Held in Research Collections

McMaster University possesses a fine collection of rare maps. These webpages are intended to acquaint our researchers with the availability of these priceless resources.

All original maps may be viewed by contacting the Research Collections Division in Mills Memorial Library.
Reproduction copies of these maps and many others are available in the Lloyd Reeds Map Collection.

The rare maps are listed in Accession Number order. The listing employs a style of carto-bibliographic description in which the title, imprint and any other information is transcribed directly from the face of the map. The cartographer's use of upper and lower case is preserved.
Line breaks in the title cartouche are indicated by a single slash (/). A double slash (//) indicates that the information following is transcribed from another place on the map (not continuous with the title or cartouche.) Square brackets [ ] indicate that the information is not found on the map itself, but has been supplied from another source.

• Described in City of Plymouth Archives and Records Newsletter, July 2000, Issue Four:
  "Ongoing re-cataloguing of the St Aubyn papers will allow searchers to identify the streets recorded in the rentals for Dock Town, Stoke and Morice Town areas. The rentals also record payments by the manor office. One entry (Accession 853-28 page 24) refers to the purchase for 7/6d of Cooke's map of Plymouth. Though the description better fits his 1820 map, this almost certainly refers to Cooke's then new 1827 map. John Cooke was surveying in Plymouth before 1810, when he produced a survey of the Dock Town area for the St Aubyn Estate. The extract shown from this map records little streets crowded around the dockyard wall such as Gills Court, Doidges' Lane and Francis Alley. All these and others are now identifiable on the computerised catalogue in our searchroom. The St Aubyn family papers at the record office run to many hundreds of volumes and plans allowing a fine insight into the development of Devonport, Stoke and Morice Town. Accessions include 153, 387, 853 & 861. The new information is on the public terminal at the record office."

[Untitled Ptolemaic Map of Pakistan]

• Lorenz Fries, published 1541
• On a sheet 41 cm x 54 cm.
• Described in Ashley Baynton-Williams, Four Editions of Fries' Geographia of Ptolemy - The 1541 Vienne Edition of Ptolemy's Geographia, MapForum.com, Issue 8:
  "The fourth edition utilising Lorenz Fries's woodcut maps was published in Vienne, Dauphine, in 1541 by Gaspar Trechsel, and sold by Hughes de la Porte in Lyon.
  Once again, the text was edited by Michael Serveius (Villanouanus) from Pirckheimer's translation, and compared with other Greek texts. One important amendment to the text was the removal of the note about Palestine.
  For this edition, the text on the reverse of the map, where present, was reset. The same series of maps are present, with maps themselves again unchanged, with the exception of the titles (again where present) outside the map itself, and occasional variations in the letterpress text in the margins. Of the Ptolemaic maps only the World map has a title, while the majority of modern maps have titles. For this edition the characteristic woodcut banner designs of earlier editions were discarded, and the titles printed from letterpress type without surround, giving a readily identifiable appearance.
  The atlas was not re-printed, perhaps in face of competition from Sebastian Munster's edition of 1540, which achieved wide popularity, with its enlarged and improved section of modern maps including, for the first time, a set of maps of the four known continents."

• "Yeakell and Gardner while still employed on the estates of the Duke of Richmond had published four sheets for the "Great Survey" of Sussex before being drawn into the service of the Board of Ordnance; the combination of Gardner's position as Chief Surveying Draughtsman and the Duke's enthusiasm for promoting cartography explain why the incomplete survey should have been taken up again in the 1790s as new material became available. It was the first published county map to benefit from data from the official Trigonometrical. Survey. It served also as a model for the map of Essex when the survey for that county began in 1799."

• 58 cm x 89 cm, on sheet 60 cm x 92 cm. Outlines hand coloured. McMaster's copy has been dissected into 21 panels (20 cm x 13 cm), and mounted on linen backing.

Also has an advertising panel affixed to verso of map.
• Described in Catalogue of the National Map Collection... S/300-1838, Volume 2, p.148: "This copy of Holland's important map of Lower Canada is the fourth state of the second edition. The first edition of the map was first published in 1802. As a result of the map's accuracy it was used extensively in the dispute concerning Canada's north-eastern boundary with the United States. Between 1802 and 1846, no less than eight revisions of the map appeared.

  The differences between the third, 1835 state and the 1838 state are minor. In the imprint on the fourth state "Geographer to His Majesty" is changd to "Geographer to Her Majesty". The third state shows either the American or British claim to the boundary, whereas the 1838 state shows both claims.

  In addition, the boundary as determined by the King of Holland is also shown; however, it has not been coloured as have the other two. His decision concerning a boundary was rejected by the United States."

[Untitled Ptolemaic Map of Pakistan]

• Lorenz Fries, published 1525
• On sheet 38 cm x 54 cm. Hand coloured. Text on verso titled "TABVLA IX ASIAE" on both pages.
• Described in Ashley Baynton-Williams, Four Editions of Fries' Geographia of Ptolemy - The 1525 Strasbourg Edition of Ptolemy's Geographia, MapForum.com, Issue 8:
  "Three years after the first edition Gruninger printed a second edition, for the Nuremberg publisher Johann Koberger. Apparently faced with criticism of the text in the First Edition, Gruninger employed Wilibald Pirckheimer to edit it, which he did from the notes of Johannes Regiomontanus, perhaps under the overall editorship of Johann Huttich.
  The text on the verso of the map is flanked by ornamental woodblock, which have been attributed - probably wrongly - to Albrecht Durer, who contributed the woodcut of the armillary sphere found just before the section of maps.
  Pirckheimer seems to have been unhappy with the finished volume, encouraging Gruninger to burn the entire print run. It would seem plausible that the 1525 edition also did not sell well, and nothing further is heard of the blocks until they re-emerge in the possession of the Lyons brothers, Gaspar and Melchior Trechsel, who printed the two subsequent editions."

• Described in Catalogue of the National Map Collection...

The map appeared in late editions of Mortier's Suite du Neptune francais ou atlas nouveau des cartes marines and in his Atlas Nouveau of 1708. Consequently, the map is best assigned the date circa 1700. As Hubert Jaillot and Pierre Mortier were joint publishers, it is not surprising that Mortier drew heavily upon Jaillot's map "Partie de la Nouvelle France" which was first published in 1685."
