DESCRIPTION: Florida Oriental. [St. Augustine] Very scarce Florida coastal chart issued by the Spanish Admiralty, known as the Direccion de Hidrografia, Madrid, 1809 (1818). This map of the port and city of Saint Augustine includes soundings and on-shore topographical features, as well as a plan of Florida’s oldest city. It was number 37 in the Admiralty’s sea-atlas entitled Portulano de la America Setentrional, which covered the Caribbean and the coasts of North and Central America. First issued in 1809, again without change in 1818 and finally in 1825, the Portulano presented the first scientific survey of the Gulf coast. Most of the North American charts are based upon surveys made for Bernardo de Galvez by Jose Antonio de Evia during the 1780s. [Phillips, Atlases, 1223.] Black and white.
