29391b. [chart]. Eldridge, George W. HARBOR CHART #46 NANTUCKET. 1901.
29391b. [chart]. Eldridge, George W. HARBOR CHART #46 NANTUCKET. 1901. Scale about 6” = 1 mile. Original printed chart measures 15” x 20”, on paper. Includes all of Nantucket Harbor from the Cliff Range Beacons on the west to Abram’s Point, and Second Point on Coatue Beach on the east, as well as Brant Point and the wharfs, etc. Includes all lighthouses and Mass Humane Society station and more. Also includes many roads, all shoals and bars, and much more. Eldridge, whose father George started him in the chart business, is probably best known as the compiler of Eldridge’s Tide and Pilot Book, still in use today. His charts were compiled from his and his father’s own surveys. Chart is in c.1970 gilded frame but has worn and could use reframing. Chart has some overall soiling, light edge stain, one light fold, but remains striking and will be wonderful for display with a bit of cleaning up. These very early coastal maps are most desirable for display and bring a premium, particularly on the Cape and the islands. Wonderful for display. (VG-). $244.
