[ISHMap-List] Ebeling and/or Sotzmann manuscript maps

[Joel Kovarsky]

I do not have a precise answer but Christophe Ebeling was the one who 
commissioned Sotzmann, and the former's collection was purchased and 
donated to Harvard in 1818, forming the beginnings of their map 
collection (http://oasis.lib.harvard.edu/oasis/deliver/~hou02444). They 
have engraved images online, but you might ask them if they have any of 
the manuscript maps. Maybe someone on this list will have a direct 
answer (and I would be curious myself).
