BLUNT, Edmund March (1770-1862) and George William BLUNT. West Coast of North America, from the Gulf of Dulce to San Francisco. New York: E. & G.W. Blunt, 1848. Single sheet (22 2/8 x 35 2/8 inches). Engraved chart of the western coast of North and Central America from the Gulf of Dulce to San Blas, with 3 insets laid down on blue paper for rolling (old folds). Provenance: with RIBA auction, 6/13/92; from the important cartographical library of Warren Heckrotte, his sale, Rare Cartography, Exploration and Voyages, Part II, December 3, 2015, Lot 99 A detailed and large scale map western coast of North and Central America from the Gulf of Dulce to San Blas, ON THE EVE OF THE CALIFORNIA GOLD RUSH, with three insets of the "Harbour of Monterey", "The Harbour of San Francisco", and Upper and Lower California, showing the coast from San Blas to San Francisco. Published near the end of the Mexican-American War (1845-1848), which gave the U.S. possession of Upper California, and showing the area that would become the state of California in 1850. Warren Heckrotte notes that he could find no direct references to this map, but comments extensively on parallel sources: "Re inset 2: Philo White in his 'Cruize in the Pacific' briefly notes the undertaking of the survey ofMonterey Bay (p 67): 'Capt. Dornin has directed some 5 or 6 officers to employ themselves in taking soundings in this Bay: Their survey will be, of necessity, quite superficial; yet will doubtless be useful, in ascertaining the true depth of water, etc.' Re inset 1: The part of California from San Diego north to Sutters bears a close resemblance to the manuscript map by Price of California, reproduced by W-TW 524. Price has more details, but those that are in Blunt correspond closely to those of Price, with only a few exceptions. The distinctive names of some of the rivers are identical, as well as their course. Price was purser aboard the US ship Cyane which returned to the eastcoast Oct 9, 1848. Wheat states that it must be a copy of an unidentified Mexican original. Another similar map is a manuscript map by Naglee, W-TW 550. He also notes a J.Calvin Smith map of 1847 which has some similar aspects; W-TW 552. This then explains in general way the source of Blunt's map". Blunt was one of "America's first hydrographers. He published some of the first nautical books and charts in the United States. The American Coast Pilot was first printed in 1796. It went through twenty-one editions before being taken over by the federal government in 1867. The American Coast Pilot provided sailing directions from Passamaquoddy, Maine, to the Strait of Florida. It included soundings and bearings of the lighthouses and beacons (such as there were) from rocks, shoals, ledges, etc. The volume also had courses and distances between numerous locations, settings of the currents, and tide tables. The book was extremely popular with ship owners and masters and lives on today as the Coast Pilot published by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). In 1799, he retained Nathaniel Bowditch to update the British publication The New Practical Navigator and adapt it to American needs. The third edition, published in 1802, had been significantly altered from the original and was renamed as the American Practical Navigator. We know it now simply as Bowditch. Few people today are aware that the originator of both publicationsthe Coast Pilot and Bowditchwas Edmund Blunt. He also compiled some of the first detailed surveys of major US east coast ports, from Boston to Charleston. The standards he established in 1796 for accuracy and thoroughness continue today as a worthy legacy to a major, but largely forgotten, figure in American nautical history" (Dennis Bryant, "Edmund M. Blunt: Forgotten Pioneer of Nautical Charting and Publishing in the United States" in Maritime Musings, January 2010).

2 sheets, joined (36 4/8 x 53 inches). Engraved chart of the Northern Pacific Ocean and the west coast of North America, with 2 insets, several compass roses, lines of latitude and longitude, and soundings (old folds, creases, short tears occasionally with minor loss, recently laid down on blue paper). Provenance: sold by Benj. Loring & Co. of Boston, with their printed label on the verso; with many ship tracks marked in pencil, 1853 -1856; with Martayan Lan, 5/09; from the important cartographical library of Warren Heckrotte, his sale, Rare Cartography, Exploration and Voyages, Part II, December 3, 2015, Lot 98 A detailed and large-scale chart of the northern Pacific Ocean from Kamchatka to the Atlantic side of Panama, with a large inset of the "Sandwich Islands", ie Hawaiian Islands, in upper right, and a smaller inset "Part of Upper California" just beneath. All major towns and missions along the North American coast are located and named, in the East Bay, Castro and S. Leandro, Rancho of Castro and Rancho Peralta are located, the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers are shown, Tule Lakes and the Sierra Nevada. The inset of northern California extends from San Simeon to Bodega Bay and a bit east of Mt. Diablo. The pencilled ship tracks include that for the Brig Oriental, dated 1853, coming from south of the equator turning east then north and west of Hawaii, to San Francisco. However most record the ship Far West, from 1854 to 1856. The position of Fanning Island, now Tabuaeran, has been corrected in manuscript by moving it about 1º west. Warren Heckrotte notes: "The New York Times "Maritime Intelligence" notes several instances of the Far West arriving in New York City from New Orleans. The Oriental left Maine in 1849 for San Francisco. The Far West was in SF Bay in 1850; see Delgado, To California by Sea. I have a Blunt chart of the west coast from the Gulf of Dulce to San Francisco, 1848. The rendition of the California coast is much different than on this chart - one year makes a difference. The date in the lower margin is 1850. Does this indicate a new issue? References: Burstyn, Harold, At the Sign of the Quadrant. This is a history of the Blunts. It does not provide details of their charts or a listing. At this time of writing their was no compilation of their charts. Among their many publications was Sailing Directions for the West Coast of North America, from Bodega Cape to San Lucas, 1849. A companion to this chart?"
