Additional Information Produced and published by noted English engraver and cartographer William Faden, who became the Royal Geographer for King George III. The 1780s were a period of significant transition as society transformed from being mostly agrarian during the Industrial Revolution. Cities became more populated during this time. The Western Hemisphere saw the defeat of Britain in the American Colonies and the extensive adoption of democratic governance throughout Europe and the America’s. Faden’s works are noted for their accuracy and detail that immediately transports the viewer back in time, reading an indelible link between the present and past. The conclusion of the American Revolution in 1783 marked a shift in ideological and political thought. The 1780s also saw the establishment of modern philosophy as well as numerous technological, astronomical, and political innovations and discoveries. This map was produced for the Crown and Parliament, and by the end of the eighteenth century, King George III had been involved in an extensive military conflict in Europe, America, and Asia. With the French defeat in the Seven Years War, Britain became the dominant European power in addition to establishing dominance in India. Extensive exploration of the globe occurred during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and these publications provided eager Britain’s a glimpse of the world beyond their borders. Faden’s self-printed North American Atlas published in 1777 chronicled the battles of the American Revolution with 29 hand-drawn illustrations created by eyewitnesses. This is truly an authentic piece of British and global cartographic history. Our museum quality giclee print comes printed with archival ink on premium heavyweight matte paper.
