Description

Relief shown pictorially. Prime meridian: London. Appears in the author’s An American atlas.This map was made by John Russell in 1794. Florida was divided into East and West following the American Revolution when it returned briefly to Spanish rule. Spain continued to hold Florida until 1821 when the United States acquired it in exchange for renouncing their claims in Texas. Hundreds of Black Seminoles escaped from Cape Florida to the Bahamas in the early 1820s, to avoid US slave raiders. The English cartographer, John Russell (1745-1806) was an English physician and portrait painter. He became interested in astronomy after painting a portrait of William Herschel, the Royal Astronomer who discovered Uranus. Herschel sold Russell a telescope and Russell and his daughter developed a model of the moon surface known as "The Face of the Moon." -ARCGrayscalenot given.
