The Atlantic Neptune, published in England in 1774, is widely considered the first great marine atlas to contain both charts and views of the North American coasts. It was compiled for the Royal Navy by Joseph F. W. Des Barres. Now, over 200 years after publication, the JCB Library’s copy of the Neptune is in need of some TLC. Consider supporting the 2-volume restoration of this glorious artifact. Find out more about the Adopt-a-Book Program at the JCB.
