Good. Older professional restoration and reinforcement to points where the sheets are joined by publisher (or purchaser). A few minor repaired tears. Some discoloration and fly-spotting at these points. Size 25.75 x 53.25 Inches. This is the 1818 / 1827 edition of John Norie's essential nautical map of the Cape of Good Hope and passages to Madagascar, Reunion, and other Indian Ocean ports. It was a key China Trade chart marking one of the most important and fraught passages on the voyage - rounding Africa and passing through the pirate-filled waters around Madagascar to reach the Indian Ocean. A Closer Look Although a blueback chart, this chart is not actually backed with blue paper. Coverage embraces from Angola, around the Cape of Good Hope, East to include West Africa, the Mozambique Channel, the islands of Reunion and Mauritius, and beyond to roughly 87°E. It marks the best passages and features depth soundings where available, mostly around the Cape and Madagascar. The map includes insets of Delagoa Bay, St. Augustine's Bay, Mozambique Harbor, Inhamban Bay, Saldanha Bay, False Bay, Table Bay, Port Beaufort, The River Knysna, Plettemberg Bay, and Port Elizabeth. This a sailed chart, with partially effaced pencil marks indicating a voyage around the Cape of Good Hope and east of Madagascar towards India. Whalers frequented these waters, and this chart was popular among them, but since the route marked appears direct and does not zigzag, it is likely this was a voyage of trade rather than whaling. Blueback Charts Blueback nautical charts began appearing in London in the late 18th century. Bluebacks, as they came to be called, were privately published large-format nautical charts known for their distinctive blue paper backing. The backing, a commonly available blue manila paper traditionally used by publishers to wrap unbound pamphlets, was adopted as a practical way to reinforce the low-quality paper used by private chart publishers to cut costs. That being said, not all blueback charts are literally backed with blue paper, some are unbacked or backed with linen. Moreover, as blueback charts, which were typically composed of multiple sheets, they were designed in a modular fashion, so that multiple charts could be joined to create truly massive custom maps suited for specific voyages. The earliest known blueback charts include a 1760 chart issued by Mount and Page and a 1787 chart issued by Robert Sayer. The tradition took off in the early 19th century, when British publishers like John Hamilton Moore, Robert Blachford, James Imray, William Heather, John William Norie, Charles Wilson, David Steel, R. H. Laurie, and John Hobbs, among others, rose to dominate the chart trade. Bluebacks became so popular that the convention was embraced by chartmakers outside of England, including Americans Edmund March Blunt and George Eldridge, as well as Scandinavian, French, German, Russian, and Spanish chartmakers. Blueback charts remained popular until the late 19th century when government-subsidized organizations like the British Admiralty Hydrographic Office and the United States Coast Survey began issuing their own superior charts on high-quality paper that did not require reinforcement. Publication History and Census This chart was first engraved by John Stephenson and published by John Norie in 1818. This edition was issued with updates to 1827. It is scarce; we see examples in various states at the Clements Library at the University of Michigan, Harvard, the Universitaire Bibliotheken Leiden, and the Biblioteca Digital Luso-Brasileira. We have not been able to verify another example of this, the 1827 edition. References: OCLC 1143748834.…
