1850 Engraving of Passamaquoddy Bay Maine by Bartlett
1850 View of East Port and Passamaquoddy Bay
by William Henry Bartlett/Joseph Meyer
"East Port Und Passamaquoddy Bay.
(Verein. Staaten v. N.A.)"
This beautiful steel engraving appeared in "Meyer's Universum"
by Joseph Meyer (1796-1856), published in Hildburghausen (Germany) by the
Bibliographischen
Instituts c1850. William Henry Bartlett (1809-1854)
visited North America in the early 1830s.
He drew many views of United States. His drawings were engraved in steel and
published in "American Scenery" in London.
Bibliographischen
Instituts was created in 1826 by Joseph Meyer.
From 1833 to 1864, Joseph Meyer issued a
journal, Meyer's Universum, containing text and steel engravings of all
parts of the world. Some of those engravings appeared in
the 52-volume
"Conversations Lexicon" (1840 - 1855).
The Institute also issued
"Meyer's Travel Guide"
and many editions of "Meyer's
Atlas". In 1874, the Institute was moved to Leipzig.
This delightful authentic steel engraving
shows the
Passamaquoddy Bay,
inlet of the Bay of Fundy (Atlantic Ocean), between southwestern New
Brunswick, Can., and southeastern Maine, U.S., at the mouth of the St.
Croix River. Deer Island and Campobello Island are in its southern part.
Passamaquoddy is derived from an Amerindian term meaning "place
where pollock leap out of the water."
The print is
based on an earlier
painting by W.H. Bartlett, originally published in 1839 in "American Scenery".
