DESCRIPTION: Fine British Admiralty chart of the Mississippi River from Nine Mile Point above New Orleans, south to the Mississippi River passes. Bold dark lithographed print retains the cartographic look and style of late 19th century Admiralty charts.
New Orleans shown with the mid-city area only partially built out. Virtually no development on the West Bank. Well before the bridges were built.
Later edition of a British Admiralty chart first engraved and published from London in 1903, and updated with corrections after that. From the copper plate engraved by Davies & Co. Sold by J.D. Potter. Dated to 1908 by the note regarding magnetic variation.
