Notes

One of the first world maps to show Texas as an independent Republic.

A fine copy of this large world wall map. The fledgling Republic of Texas, declared in 1836, is recognised in this edition of the map, while English and American claims to the Oregon territory are noted. The latest additions record Dumont D’Urville’s discoveries of 1840 in Antarctica.

Biography

TEESDALE, Henry fl1828 - 1843

Based in London, Teesdale is best known for having purchased the plates for Robert Rowe’s English Atlas (1816), and reissuing them, much altered, as the New British Atlas (1829). He published a New Travelling Atlas (1830) and a New General Atlas of the World (1831). He was elected a member of the Royal Geographical Society in 1831, but had resigned by 1837.
