Description

Nice example of Brue's wall map of the the Gulf Coast, Caribbean and Central America, from a rare atlas edition of Brue's wall maps.

Excellent detail in Florida, the Gulf Coast and the Caribbean, including a number of areas with special annotations. The detail in Central America and the Yucatan is also noteworthy. Insets of the Virigin Islands, Martinique and Guadalupe. Nine place names shown on Grand Cayman Island. Many interesting and detailed notes. One of the best large format maps of the region to appear in a commercial atlas. This example is from Andriveau Goujon's rare Atlas Choix.

Adrien-Hubert Brué Biography

Andre Hubert Brué was a French geographer and cartographer. Born in Paris, he served in the French Navy, joining the Baudin expedition to the Pacific (1800-1804). After his sea service, Brué applied his navigation and charting skills to creating finely-crafted maps, which were renowned for their crisp engraving and accuracy. He drew directly on the copper of the plate, creating what he called encyprotypes. He is best known for the Atlas universal de géographie physique, politique, ancienne et moderne.

Philippe Vandermaelen, a Belgian cartographer, is well known for his revolutionary six-volume atlas that presented the world on a uniform scale for the first time. One of these exceptional maps, circa 1825, provides an intricately detailed regional representation of parts of Southern Mexico and Guatemala. It extends south to the Volcan de Sonsonale and Pta. De Acazutlo, both located in El Salvador, and reaches west to Oaxaca, northward to include the southern parts of Tabasco. The level of detail and emphasis on the mountainous topographical features of the region are particularly noteworthy.
