Map of the Bermudas: This hand-colored, lithographic wall map (London, 1872), published under the direction of Sir John Henry Lefroy (1870-1890), Governor of Bermuda from 1871-1877, and designed by Edward Stanford (1827-1904), one of the most prominent British mapmakers of the 19th century, is one of the rarest and most finely detailed maps of the island ever to be printed, replete with the kind of topographical features not seen on most other maps. In addition to the map of the main island, which clearly delineates and names the various parishes as well as all of the island’s cities, towns, bodies of water, points of interest, and coastline geography, the map extends out to the outer reefs and demarcates all of the smaller islands, channels and waterways surrounding the main island. There is also a unique Mercator Projection inset map displaying the Atlantic Ocean and parts of the continents of Europe, Africa, and North and South America, which most notably features Bermuda and shows the island’s distance to many foreign ports in terms of nautical miles. Also included are numerous statistical tables that offer information culled at the time of the map’s printing, including the island’s population relative to the individual parishes, the island’s monthly average climate, the total value of the island’s imports and exports to and from its major trading partners, including the UK and America, and the distances by water between various locales on the island. All in all, it is one of the most comprehensive printed maps of the island, and so rare that the world's premier online research organization, the OCLC, has been able to locate only one other example, housed in the British Library.
