A Topographical Map of the North Part of New York Island

Faden & Sauthier, 1777

FADEN, William, publisher. SAUTHIER, Claude Joseph, cartographer. A Topographical Map of the North Part of New York Island establishing the plan of Fort. Washington, now Fort Knyphausen. London: William Faden, 1 March 1777.



The Battle of Fort Washington, one of the few Revolutionary War battle maps relating to New York City. At this point in the Revolution, following George Washington’s loss at White Plains, Fort Washington was the last bit of Manhattan Island still held by the Continental Army. At first Washington was disinclined to defend the Fort, but he was persuaded to try by General Nathanial Greene. In the event, this was a huge tactical error as almost 3000 men were taken prisoner. Nebenzahl, Atlas of the American Revolution, pp. 90-91; Nebenzahl, Bibliography of Printed Battle Plans of the American Revolution, 116.



Engraved map, 544 x 336mm (sheet size) with original color to the rivers and battle elements. (Toned and a little dust-soiled, a pencil erasure on right margin.)
