Description
Scarce third state of Samuel Lewis’s map of South Carolina, appearing in the extremely scarce 1816 edition of Carey’s General Atlas (same map as in the 1814 Carey atlas). One of the earliest obtainable maps of the state of South Carolina. The topography of the state is shown in fine detail, as are precincts, towns, inland waterways, coastal features and roads. The map provided a large format and highly detailed map of the state, showing mountains, swamps, counties, meeting houses, and substantial other details. As a result of the distorted scale of the latitude measurements, the state appears stretched from north to south. In addition, the northwest border with Georgia extends South Carolina farther west than is accurate. Two of the most influential names in American cartography were Samuel Lewis and Mathew Carey. Samuel Lewis was a celebrated draftsman and cartographer who learned his trade from the prominent English cartographer Aaron Arrowsmith. Engraved by William Barker. Just eight counties exist at the time this map was created. Excellent example with extremely light offsetting. 15.25 x 17.25
