Description:
Engraved by Samuel Hill (ca. 1765-1809) for the first American edition of John Malham's Naval Gazeteer. Depicts the coasts of North America from Charleston, South Carolina, to the Rio Grande, Mexico, Central America, northern South America, and the West Indies. Published by Spotswood & Nancrede, Boston. Samuel Hill was active in Boston from at least 1789 into the first decade of the 18th century. He produced portrait engravings and illustrations, including many for the Massachusetts Magazine. He is perhaps best remembered to map collectors as the engraver of the Boston edition of the “Ellicott Plan” of Washington, D.C. and (with Joseph Callender) the second edition of Osgood Carleton’s seminal map of Massachusetts.
