Henry Popple's Map of the British Empire in North
America (London, 1733)
Mark Babinski
Edited by Matthew H. Edney
Derivatives and Copies of the Popple Map
Popple's 1733 map was used as a source for many later maps. Some, like Bellin's Carte
de la Louisiane et des Pays Voisins (1744, 1750), Seale's A Map of North America with
the European Settlements & whatever else is remarkable in ye West Indies (1747), and
Seale's A New Map of North America wherein is exactly described all ye European
Settlements with whatever else is remarkable in the West Indies (c. 1756, 1776) made
use of Popple's map selectively for parts of the total area covered. For some, like
Alexander/Turner's Map No. 1 in the Bill in the Chancery of New-Jersey (1747), or
Evans' Map of Pensilvania, New-Jersey, New-York, and the Three Delaware Counties
(1749), one would be hard-pressed to find any connection at all, if it were not for
published comments of the mapmakers themselves. [note 44, note 45] Listed below, in
chronological order, are only these maps where: (1) the entire area covered by the map is
copied from Popple and (2) it is copied from Popple virtually unchanged.

of America. Stephens Fecit. 299 mm width x 345 mm height. This map first appeared in
volume 30 of the 1st edition of Thomas Salmon's Modern History published in London
in 1737. However, the map was probably inserted only into copies of this first edition
that were bound in 1739 - many copies do not have this map or it is bound randomly in
volumes 28-31. On this first edition of the map there is no engraved volume and page
enumeration or any other annotation in the upper-left corner above border. The map was
reissued at p. 425 in the 3rd volume of the 2nd edition of Thomas Salmon's Modern
History published in London in 1739 - with engraved "Vol. 3. p. 425." in upper-left
corner above the border of map. It probably also appeared (no copy located) at p. 406 in
the 3rd volume of the 3rd edition of Salmon's Modern History published by Stephen
Austen et al in London in 1746 - with engraved "Vol. 3. p. 406." in upper-left corner
above the border of map. Compass rose above title cartouche is centered around the 71st
degree of longitude. "Fall of Niagara" annotation present above "LAKE ERIE". Lowery
& Phillips (1912, No. 277) attributed it incorrectly to Moll. See also Sotheby's sale of
