Heather’s Improved Chart of the Bermudas—William Heather—rare sea chart 1805 map

William Heather (publisher and chartmaker), after the hydrographic survey of Thomas Hannaford Hurd; engraved by John Stephenson

London: William Heather, Navigation Warehouse, No. 157 Leadenhall Street

Fair: Heavy general age-toning and surface soiling; scattered foxing/stains. The topographical content of the map, the title cartouche and most of the border appear to be original, however much of the open sea to the left of the reef and rocky bank, and part of the lower margin appear to have been restored in very convincing facsimile. Please note any other blemishes on the scan prior to purchasing this picture. If the print has been scanned in black and white, any foxing or spotting highlighted in this statement may appear brown on the actual print. Please contact us if you would like to arrange to view this map. There is nothing printed on the reverse side, which is plain
