While condition is important, it must also be kept in mind that all items are original, generally several hundred years old, and should not be expected to be as new.

Folds and binding trims that were done at the time of publication are also not considered defects. We have used the following guidelines to develop the condition code system. These condition descriptions are meant to provide a general guide to what can be expected. Significant flaws are noted in addition to the code. Please contact us if you need further information. We will be happy to provide a detailed condition report or to discuss the condition with you personally. However, we ask that you not request a condition report on the closing day of the auction, as we are fully committed to taking telephone bids during that time.

Title Pages, World Maps, Globes & Miscellaneous 1. Title Pages ([Lot of 2] Americae Tertia Pars [and] Das Vierdte Buch von der Neuwen Welt), Bry, Grands Voyages, Frankfurt, [1593-94]. 8.3 x 11.8”. (BW) These two title pages are from the remarkable series of publications known as the Grands Voyages. This series recounted the voyages of discovery to the Americas, and provided many Europeans with their first view of the New World. The first is America Part III, which described the land of Brazil based on the account of Hans von Staten, who was captured by the Tupinamba Indians. Gruesome scenes of cannibalism contrast with the classical design of the sheet, which is rendered in the architectural style. The second is from Part IV, which presented the Italian adventurer, Girolamo Benzoni’s travels throughout the West Indies. This sheet is presented in an entirely different, organic style. Columbus’ ships sail through a rock arch at bottom and a grotesque Indian god is worshiped at top. A variety of West Indian natives fill the jungle scene that surrounds the German title. Ref: Shirley (TP) #21. Minor toning, a few edge tears and creases. (+B) $500-600 2. Title Pages (Gerardus Mercator … Iudocus Hondius …), Hondius, Gerardi Mercatoris Atlas sive Cosmographicae…, Amsterdam, ca. 1620. 17.5 x 15”. (HC) Exquisite portrait of two of the most important mapmakers during the Dutch dominance of cartography. Gerard Mercator is shown with his successor, Jodocus Hondius, seated at a table surrounded by the implements of their trade. The fine portrait is set within an elaborate strap work frame that encompasses a map of Europe. The scene was engraved by Coletta Hondius, in tribute to her late husband, and appeared in the Atlas from 1613 onwards. Latin text on verso. Sharp impression and very fine coloring. There is a minor printer’s crease just right of the upper centerfold. (A) $3000-3500 3. Title Pages ([Lot of 2 - Title Page and Frontispiece] The Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine…), Speed, London, 1627. 9.5 x 15”. (BW) Speed’s title page is an elaboration of the architectural framework used by Abraham Ortelius in the Theatrum. The superstructure of pillars, pedestals and columns is intricately decorated with cupids’ heads, grotesques, herms, putti and other figures. The dominate figure above the title is an indigenous Briton taken from an engraving of a Pict by John White and first published by Theodor de Bry in 1590. The four other figures in the niches represent the conquerors of Great Britain - Roman, Saxon, Danish, and Norman. Vignettes of the City of London and a ship are on the foundation along with the publisher’s imprint. According to Shirley, this sheet may have been engraved by Renold Elstack due to stylistic similarities to other works he engraved for Speed. However the accompanying heraldic frontispiece is signed by Jodocus Hondius, who engraved many of the maps in the atlas. The royal coat of arms of James I fills the center of this elaborate sheet. The thirty-eight smaller heraldic shields forming the border denote all the associated kings of the ancient realm. Ref: Shirley (TP) #32 & 33. (+B) $450-550 4. Title Pages (Novus Atlas, das ist Welt-Beschreibung…), Blaeu, Amsterdam, 1642. 9.5 x 16”. (HC) This handsome title page from a Dutch edition presents the title within an architectural framework crowned with the royal arms of the Kingdom of France. The title and publisher’s imprint are printed on separate pieces of paper that are adhered to the engraving, as was the common practice of the period. Fine impression and superb original color highlighted in gold. There is some surface soil and a chip in the wide original margins. (A) $250-325 5. Title Pages - Low Countries (De Bello Belgico Decas il Famiani Stradae Rom. Soc. Iesu), Strada, Antwerp, 1648. 3.5 x 6”. (HC) Among the most interesting decorative works of cartography is a series of arresting maps showing The Netherlands and Belgium in the shape of a lion. This wonderful, miniature version of the Leo Belgicus is based on the original 1538 Aitsinger form with the lion standing facing right with the right paw raised and holding a shield. This version is beautifully engraved with a stippled sea filled with ships, a sea monster and a compass rose. The De Bello Belgico, written by Famianus Strada, a Jesuit and teacher at the Collegium Romanum in Rome, was a pro-Spanish and pro-Catholic book on the Dutch war of independence. Ref: Tooley (MCC-7) #25. Toned, darker in margins. There is some paper restoration in the blank margins. (+B) $700-850 6. Title Pages (Cosmographie in Foure Bookes Caontayning the Chorographie & Historie of the Whole World…), Heylin, London, 1652. 7 x 11.3”. (BW) The continents are represented by both male and female figures on this uncommon title sheet. Accompanying the male soldier figures are the animals that are associated with the continents: Europe’s horse, Africa’s lion, Asia’s elephant and the strange opossum-dog-like creature of America. God’s creation of the earth is represented by Aqua (water), a dove (air), and Terra Mater (earth) in the scene above the title. There is toning and some edge tears not affecting the image. (A) $300-375 7. Title Pages (Le Theatre Du Monde, ou Nouvel Atlas, Mis en lumiere par Guillaume et Jean Blaeu. Quatriesme Partie), Blaeu, Amsterdam, 1662. 9.4 x 16”. (HC) Great title page from Blaeu’s atlas of England and Wales. It follows the architectural style that was used by John Speed and uses the same figures representing the invaders and settlers of Britain. The central figure is that of Britannus, the indigenous ancient Briton. Soldiers representing the Saxons, Romans, Normans and Danes fill the architectural niches surrounding the title. A large coat of arms, flanked by England’s fierce lion and the Welsh griffin dominate the top of the sheet. Title imprint is pasted onto the sheet, as was common at the time of publication. Ref: Shirley (TP) #46A. Sharp impression and lovely old color, highlighted with gold leaf. Some toning, still overall very good. (A) $375-450 8. Title Pages (The Sea-Atlas or the Watter-World, Wherein are Described all the Sea Coasts of the Knowne World.), Goos, Amsterdam, 1667. 9 x 15.5”. (BW) The Dutch dominated the market for maritime atlases for most of seventeenth century. The title pages from these atlases generally feature ships such as the dramatic naval battle revealed by two putti drawing back drapes that form the cartouche at bottom of this fine sheet. It is a beautifully composed design with the title displayed on an elaborate central cartouche decorated with a variety of navigational instruments. At top, Terra Mater gazes at the heavens while holding a terrestrial globe on her lap. In the surrounding clouds, a group of putti use a variety of astronomical instruments. (A) $275-350 9. Title Pages (America), Meurs, Amsterdam, 1671. 7 x 11.5”. (HC) This evocative title page is from Arnoldus Montanus’s America de Nieuwe Onbekende Weereld, published by Jacob van Meurs. It presents a fanciful scene of natives in ceremonial costume with a variety of indigenous animals and products. At center, an Amazon queen representing America is being hoisted in an enormous shell by two Titans. Van Meurs evidently allowed Ogilby to use the plate for his English edition - the only difference between the two is the lack of an imprint on the Ogilby plate. Ref: cf Shirley (TP) #63A. Toned with some repairs in margins and imprint at bottom. (+B) $275-350 10. Title Pages (The English Atlas), Pitt, London, [1680]. 11.5 x 18”. (BW) This striking allegorical title page, designed by Zacharias Webbers, features mythical figures examining a large globe centered on Europe and Africa. Neptune stands to the left of the globe and on the right stands Cybele, the mother goddess of the earth with her turreted crown and a lion at her feet. In the foreground, a seated muse represents history or geography, and in the background Atlas is shown holding a celestial globe on his shoulders and putti hold aloft the drape-style title cartouche. Manuscript, red ruled lines form a border around the engraving, as is common for this sheet. Moses Pitt’s plan for a large world atlas on the basis of Jansson’s work met with financial failure and he was only able to complete four of the planned 12 volumes this being the title page for Volume I. The plate was used later by Elwe and Ottens. A stunning impression. (A) $350-450 11. Title Pages ([Lot of 2 - Title Pages]), 1680-1714. x ”. (HC) 1) The English Atlas Volume I, Moses Pitt, London, 1680. (18 x 10” sheet, image 6.5 x 4.8”) Printed in red and black ink with an image of Britannia seated in front of Oxford. Pasted on the verso is the bookplate and coat-of-arms (4 x 5.3”) of Francis Gwyn of Lansanor, dated 1698. The view is in original color. 2) Nouveau Theatre de la Grande Bretagne…, David Mortier, London, 1714. (16.3 x 9” sheet, image 7 x 4”). Printed in red and black ink with the royal coat of arms in superb original color, heavily illuminated with gold leaf. There is minor soil and foxing on both. (+B) $250-325 12. Title Pages (Partie des Forces de l’Europe…), Fer, Paris, 1693. 11 x 7.5”. (HC) Nicolas de Fer’s epic eight-volume treatise on the fortifications of Europe contained nearly 200 plans and several different frontispieces. This one is presented in the more traditional allegorical format; many of the other ones stressed military warfare and fortification design. The central figure is a personification of Europe. She is being presented with tributes and the spoils of war and shown fortification plans. The figure in Roman armor holds a staff with the symbols of Louis XIV, the sun-king of France (whose bust appears to the right of Europa). Engraved by Adrian Schoonebeek, a follower of Romeyn de Hooghe. Ref: Shirley (TP) #68B. Remnants of mounting hinges on verso. (A) $200-250 13. Title Pages ([Lot of 7 - French Title Pages]), [1700-78]. x ”. (BW) This lot includes seven beautiful French title pages from the eighteenth century. These sheets combine a variety of styles and form a very nice collection. 1) Atlas Universel, Robert de Vaugondy, Paris, 1757. (13.8 x 18.8”) This sheet is presented in the grand pictorial style with graceful personifications of the four continents and the sun-god Apollo in his chariot galloping across the heavens. In the foreground six putti frolic around the globe. (A) Nice impression with some minor soil in margins.

2) Atlas Methodique et Elementaire de Geographie et d’Histoire…, Louis Charles Desnos, Paris, circa 1770. The title is presented is a large oval cartouche surrounded by navigational and astronomical instruments with an small scene of Clio, the muse of history, at top. The title information continues in manuscript ink. (18.5 x 12.8”) (B) There are some ink stains, a small tear, and a fold separation at bottom. 3) L’Atlas Curieux ou le Monde…, Nicolas de Fer, 1705. (13 x 8.5”) This fine sheet features a busy harbor scene reflecting the growth in overseas trade and the expansion of colonial settlement throughout the world. (A) Nice impression on lightly toned paper with a bit of color in title. 4) L’Allemagne et les Princes Souverains de l’Empire…, Sanson family, circa 1700. (platemark 7.8 x 12” on 10.7 x 17” sheet) This sheet contains a small engraving of two angels supporting two French heralds. (A) Some damp stains outside the platemark. 5) Atlas Ameriquain Septentrional…, George Louis le Rouge, Paris, 1778. (12 x 17”) Text only (B) Tears at right just entering the platemark. 6) Atlas ou Recueil de Cartes Geographiques…, Nicolas de Fer, Paris, 1709. (11 x 15.3”) This sheet is rendered in the classical architectural style with a globe at top featuring the island of California. (B) There are a couple minor creases in the image and the margins are stained and torn. 7) Le Nouveau Theatre du Monde, ou la Geographie Royale…, Pieter van der Aa, 1713. (17.3 x 12.8” sheet, image 5 x 2”) Printed in red and black ink. The small image features several allegorical figures. (B+) There are some minor spots and some pencil notations at bottom. See descriptions. $600-800 14. Title Pages (Nieuw-Jaars Geschenk), Anon., Het Groote Tafereel der Dwaasheid, ca. 1720. 7.3 x 11.5”. (HC) This interesting satirical engraving is from the Dutch book of engravings, poems and plays published just after the great speculative financial bubble and crash of 1720. There were three bubbles that all crashed in September of 1720: the South Sea Bubble, named after the British South Sea Company; the Mississippi Bubble, after the Mississippi Company in France; and the Dutch “Wind-Handel” or “Wind-Negotie” (both meaning Wind-Trade). Dedicated to Pecunia, goddess of money. (+A) $160-200 15. Title Pages (Tytel-Print der Actie-Kraam of Voor-hof van Quinquenpoix), Het Groote Tafereel der Dwaasheid, ca. 1720. 8.8 x 12”. (HC) This unusual title page is from the Dutch book of satirical engravings, poems and plays published just after the great speculative financial bubble and crash of 1720. There were three bubbles that all crashed in September of 1720: the South Sea Bubble, named after the British South Sea Company; the Mississippi Bubble, after the Mississippi Company in France; and the Dutch “Wind-Handel” or “Wind-Negotie” (both meaning Wind-Trade). The title is “Title Print of the Stock shop or Court of Quinquempoix” (the Amsterdam coffeehouse where the money-market was held). There is a professionally repaired tear in the margin, else fine. (A) $160-200 16. Title Pages (Atlas Novus, sive Theatrum Orbis Terrarum: in quo Hispaniae, Italiae, Asiae, Africae, nec-non Americae Tabulae… Tomus Tertius), Jansson, Amsterdam, 1747. 9.7 x 16”. (HC) This handsome title page is rendered in the architectural format with female representations of the four continents in the niches flanking the title. The complex arms of Phillip II of the Spanish Monarchy crowns the sheet. The title is printed on a separate piece of paper and adhered to the engraving; the common practice of the period. Evenly toned, original color with some damp stains and minor tears in blank margins. There is a blue paper stamp remnant in upper margin and a pencil notation. (A) $250-325 17. Title Pages (The Illustrated Atlas, and Modern History of the World Geographical, Political, Commercial & Statistical), Tallis, London, ca. 1851. 9 x 12.5”. (HC) A lovely steel engraved title page from this popular nineteenth century atlas. The title is enclosed in a delicate vine border with male representations of the four continents in each corner. The large scene at center depicts the personae from Europe, Asia, and Africa, a port scene and an early railroad locomotive in the background. Ref: Shirley (TP) #97A. Dark, early impression and very fine hand coloring. A little light foxing in wide margins. (A) $150-200 18. Portrait, Mississippi Bubble (Mre. Jean Law coner. du roy en tous ces conils. controleur gnal des finances en 1720), Schenk, Het Groote Tafereel der Dwaasheid, Amsterdam, ca. 1720. 6.8 x 10.5”. (HC) This is a fine portrait of the infamous Scottish financier John Law. Exiled to Europe because of a duel, Law managed to become a financial adviser to the Duke of Orleans. Law proposed the establishment of a state-chartered bank with the power to issue unbacked paper currency, the Banque Générale, which was established in 1716. He also established the Mississippi Company, an enterprise designed to develop the French colony of Louisiana. Law’s schemes quickly gained popularity and people throughout Europe rushed to invest. Share prices opened at 500 livres and rapidly rose to 18,000 livres. At this point the bubble burst; speculators cashed in, caused a run on the shares and the bank, and plunged France and Europe into a severe economic crisis. The incident, known as the Mississippi Bubble, is one of the most infamous financial meltdowns in history. (A) $140-180 19. World & Continents ([Lot of 5] Typus Orbis Terrarum [with] America [with] Asia Antiqua et Nova [with] Africa, Antiqua et Nova [and] Summa Europae Antiquae Descriptio), Cluver, Introductionis in Universam Geographicam, [1697]. x ”. (HC) A fine matched set of decorative maps, each finely engraved and embellished with title cartouches. This set presents an interesting comparison of the variety of cartographic theories prevalent at the turn of the eighteenth century. Even though the maps were all published in the same atlas, the world map is quite different than the continental maps. The world map measures 12 x 6.3”; others approximately 10.3 x 8” with some variations. 1) Typus Orbis Terrarum depicts mid-seventeenth century geography with the partial shorelines of a large Terra Australis Incognita and the rudimentary beginning of an unnamed Australian continent. In North America, California is a peninsula with Quivera and Anian expanding the continent too far west. The map is supported on the shoulders of Atlas and surrounded by allegorical representations of the continents; interestingly females represent America and Europe at top, and males represent Asia and Africa at bottom. 2) This handsome small map of the Americas was derived from the Nicolas Visscher map of 1658, with a Briggs type island of California. A depiction of the discoveries of the De Vries voyage appears in the water north of Japan and Tasman’s discoveries are exhibited in New Zealand (Zelandia Nova). The land of Anian is noted with a Straet Anian running between it and the Anian regnum. The drape style title cartouche is held by a cherub and is lacking the engraver’s imprint. 3) Asia Antiqua et Nova extends to include Japan, the Philippines and most of Indonesia. The outline of Asia follows the Mercator-Hondius model with the Arctic and extreme northeast coastlines truncated, an elongated Korean peninsula, and a narrow Indian subcontinent. There are numerous place names except in China, which is strikingly void of any names and filled with a bold network of rivers and large lakes. The title cartouche includes the female representation of Asia with a large cat and a parrot. 4) Africae Antiquae et Nova shows typical seventeenth century cartography with the Nile rising from twin lakes below the equator and spurious details in the interior. The map is primarily based on Blaeu’s important wall map of 1608 with some minor changes from Cluver’s earlier maps of Africa. 5) Summa Europae Antiquae Descriptio shows its ancient divisions, as it was in the time of the Roman emperors. The title cartouche is topped with allegorical female figures. Ref: World, Shirley #586; Americas, Burden #732 &McLaughlin #25-5; Africa, Betz #166; Asia, Yeo #26. (A) $1600-1800 20. World & Continents ([Lot of 8 - World and Continents]), Mitchell, New General Atlas, Philadelphia, ca. 1865. 13.2 x 10.7”. (HC) Nice collection of maps with decorative floral borders. The set includes two world maps, one map of each continent, and a map of Oceania. The titles are: 1) The World in Hemispheres; 2) Map of the World on the Mercator Projection (double-page); 3) Map of North America…; 4) Map of South America…; 5) Map of Europe…; 6) Map of Asia…; 7) Map of Africa showing it most Recent Discoveries; 8) Map of Oceanica… The double-page world measures 18 x 14”. (A) $400-500 21. Continents (Les Tables de Geographie, Reduites en un Iev de Cartes), Duval, Paris, 1669. 14 x 3”. (BW) This is the title cartouche, trimmed from the set of 52 playing card maps that were engraved on a single sheet. The engraving includes four tiny maps of the continents of Africa, the Americas, Europe and Asia. The map of the Americas is noteworthy for the island of California, a massive landmass in the north Pacific, and the usual configuration of the huge southern continent. Early playing cards often featured a geographical theme, though relatively few featured actual maps. These were often printed with the entire set on a single sheet from which the individual cards were cut. These maps are extremely rare because their survival rate was very low due to their ephemeral nature, and the separate title cartouche is even more rare. Ref: King (2nd ed.) p. 22. Lightly toned with margins adequate for framing. (A) $700-800 22. Continents (Europa Poly Glotta… / Asia Poly-Glotta… / America cum Supplementis Poly-Glottis / Africa Poly-Glotta), Homann Heirs, Synopsis universae philologiae, Nuremberg, [1741]. 17.5 x 15.3”. (HC) This is a fascinating set of four separate thematic maps of the continents (each measuring approximately 7.7 x 6”) on two joined sheets. Each map identifies the different countries and linguistic divisions, with tables displaying their script, alphabets and spoken languages. Important in the history of thematic mapping, this is one of the first to use color to distinguish areas and subjects on a theme. A Latin key in the lower right of the Africa map describes the colors used to show the habitation of descendants of Ham, Japheth and Shem after the Flood. The American map depicts California as an island, and oddly includes what appears to be Persian and Indian alphabets in panels to the right. Drawn by Gottfried Hensel and engraved by S. Dorn. Ref: McLaughlin #229; Robinson, pp 55-56, and 130-132. On a sheet of thick hand laid paper with huge margins. A little light scattered foxing and tear at top professionally closed. (+B) $950-1100 23. World (Typus Orbis Terrarum), Ortelius, Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, Antwerp, ca. 1575. 19.5 x 13.3”. (HC) This is the first (of three) world maps that were included in Ortelius’ famous atlas. It is a simplified reduction of Mercator’s influential map of 1569 presented on an oval projection rather than the projection for which Mercator

is now famous. From surviving correspondence, it is known that Mercator encouraged Ortelius and provided him with information, particularly with co-ordinates of places in the Americas. Placed on a cloud background, the map shows North America as much too wide and South America retains the unusual bulged southwestern coastline. At the poles, a prominent Northwest Passage snakes its way south of the four islands making up the arctic regions, and a huge Terra Australis Nondum Cognita makes up the imaginary southern continent. A notation next to New Guinea notes that it is unknown if this large island is a part of the southern continent. The title is in a strapwork banner at top, which is balanced with a quotation from Cicero at bottom. This superb map was engraved by Frans Hogenberg with his signature at bottom. The plate was used for the first 16 editions of the Theatrum. A crack developed in the lower left corner between 1570 and 1579. This example shows evidence of that crack with the first attempted repair that appears in 1575. Latin text on verso. Ref: Shirley #122; Van den Broecke #1. Original color with a professional repair along the centerfold and some minor soil in the margins. (+B) $6000-7000 24. World (Typus Orbis Terrarum), Jansson, Atlas Minor, Amsterdam, [1631]. 8 x 5.7”. (HC) This is a beautifully engraved and finely detailed double hemisphere map. Strapwork borders enclose an armillary sphere, compass rose and the names of the four elements. The map features the island of California with only a ghost of a coastline continuing to the northwest. Terra Australis has a broken coastline and a notation that ends with the signature of the engraver, Abraham Goos. Four lines of Latin text balance the title cartouche at bottom. German text on verso. Ref: Shirley #325. Lovely original color. (+A) $800-950 25. World (Orbis Terrarum Typus de Integroin Plurimis Emendatus Auctus et Icunculis Illustratus), Visscher, Amsterdam, ca. 1665. 18.8 x 12.3”. (HC) This map is a direct derivative of Nicolas Visscher’s first world map designed for inclusion in Dutch Bibles. It has been re-engraved, is nominally larger, and this example is from a German Bible. Identical engravings, including allegorical representations of the continents as well as native inhabitants and wildlife, surround the double hemisphere world map. Two celestial spheres are displayed in the Eastern Hemisphere. In the lower part of the Western Hemisphere, text describes the discovery of America and other notable voyages. Two diagrams depicting the Ptolemaic and Copernican theories of the solar system are tucked between the hemispheres. The northwest coast of North America is exaggerated and shows California correctly as a peninsula. Parts of Australia and Van Diemen’s Land are shown but the north coast of Australia is not depicted. This map now shows the western coastline of New Zealand reflecting Tasman’s discovery in 1642. German text on verso. Shirley notes several derivatives in his Corrigenda and Addenda (2001 revised edition of The Mapping of the World). This most closely matches #414a, although there is no additional outer scroll border. Ref: cf Shirley #414a. Right side margin professionally extended with a tiny bit of facsimile at top. (A) $2200-2750 26. World (Nova Orbis Tabula, in Lucem Edita), Wit, Amsterdam, ca. 1680. 21.8 x 18.3”. (HC) This is one of the most attractive double-hemispherical world maps of the late seventeenth century. The corners are filled with images of the seasons, the zodiac, and the elements, all combined within four well-composed vignettes. At top left is a personification of Spring, who also represents Virgo, with the element of Air billowing her robes. The bull of Taurus and the ram of Aries are shown to the right. The top right vignette represents Autumn, with the shore in the background illustrating the element Water. A putti holds a crab representing Cancer, and another holds the lion of Leo. The twins of Gemini flank the inset of the North Pole at top. The lower left scene presents Summer and Earth with a wine-imbibing Bacchus and a scene of drunkenness The signs for Scorpio and Libra are held by two followers, while Sagittarius gallops in the background. Winter holds court in the final vignette, with the element of Fire shown to the left. Aquarius is represented by a child pouring water into a basin, while another holds a fishing pole with the double fish of Pisces, and a goat representing Capricorn is pulled by another. South America has the mythical L. Parime astride the equator, with the imaginary golden city of Manoa named on its shores. Asia displays a Japan with an oversized Iedso (Hokkaido) shown on the map of the Western Hemisphere. A partial coastline for Australia is shown, and both New Zealand and Tasmania are indicated by only one stretch of coastline. The inset of the South Pole is nearly blank save for the very tip of South America and Tierra del Fuego. The cartography in North America has been updated in this state, which is not noted in Shirley’s description. The Great Lakes are now partially formed and the island of California are both based on Sanson. Otherwise, this matches Shirley’s description of the second plate with the addition of Nova Guinea and Quiri Regio in the South Pacific, and the more decorative border and putti inserted between the cusps of the map. Ref: cf Shirley #451. Superb original color and pleasantly ivory toned paper. There is a small abrasion near center and a couple of professionally repaired minor tears in the blank margins. (A) $6000-7000 27. World (Nova Totius Terrarum Orbis Geographica ac Hydrographica Tabula), Pitt, The English Atlas, ca. 1680. 20.8 x 15.5”. (HC) This beautiful map is one of the most intriguing examples of the internal workings of the map publishing business in the seventeenth century. The copperplate from which the map was printed was originally engraved by Pieter van den Keere (Petrus Kaerius) in 1608. It then passed into the hands of Jan Jansson in 1620, and finally to Jansson’s heirs who formed a partnership with the Englishman, Moses Pitt. The plate was reworked several times and a comparison of the various states provide a compelling view of the changing image of the world during the 17th century. In this final state, the classic carte-a-figures borders remain unchanged, while the map itself was updated with actual discoveries such as Australia, Tierra del Fuego and the straits of Magellan and Le Maire. Other changes reflect prevailing, but erroneous, theories such as an insular California, a peculiar isthmus linking Nova Zembla to northern Asia, and a revived huge Antarctic landmass. The map is very scarce because Pitt’s ambitious atlas project was a commercial failure; resulting in his confinement in debtor’s prison. This map is a classic example of the mapmaker’s art with carte-a-figures borders depicting allegorical representations of the sun, moon, the five known planets, the four elements and the four seasons. Along the bottom are vignettes showing the seven wonders of the world: the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Colossus over the harbor at Rhodes, the Pyramids, the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus at Cairo, the Temple of Diana, the Statue of Jupiter and the lighthouse at Alexandria. Ref: Shirley #504 (cf #264). Printed on very sturdy paper with wide original margins. There is some faint toning in the blank margins. (A) $13000-18000 28. World (Typus Orbis Terrarum), Duval/Beer, Geographiae Universalis…, Nuremberg, [1681]. 5 x 4”. (HC) While not containing a lot of detail, this miniature map includes several interesting errors that illustrate a still evolving cartographic picture of the world. In North America, the Great Lakes are only partially formed, and a large lake in the west spawns a river that flows into the Pacific between the mainland and the island of California. The huge landmass of Iesso fills the North Pacific and several disjointed coastlines occupy the South Pacific. The northern coast of East Asia is severely truncated and Korea is shown as an island. Unusually, the Nile River appears to rise from a single large lake south of the equator, rather than the Ptolemaic concept of twin lakes. Only the western and northern coastlines of Australia are depicted, and Antarctica appears as a very large continent. Pierre Duval was Nicolas Sanson’s nephew and pupil. He published a wide range of atlases and individual maps including a fine miniature world geography with many of the maps based on Sanson. This map is from the German edition of Duval’s world geography. The maps were probably engraved by Sigismund G. Hipschman (as his signature appears on the title page and the larger world map) and have Latin titles rather than the original French. The maps are often attributed to Johann C. Beer, who translated the work into German. Ref: King (2nd ed.) pp. 144-45. There is an extraneous crease and a bit of light soil, else very good. The right side margin is narrow, but still adequate, as issued. (+B) $400-475 29. World (Orbis Terrarum Tabula Recens Emendata et in Lucem Edita), Stoopendaal, Rotterdam, ca. 1682. 18 x 14”. (HC) Surrounded by fabulous scenes from the Visscher-Berchem map of 1658, this is probably the most decorative of Dutch Bible maps. The classic scenes depict the abduction of Persephone, Zeus being carried across the heavens in an eagle-drawn chariot, Poseidon commanding his entourage, and Demeter receiving the fruits of the Earth. California is depicted as an island with a flat northern coastline labeled Nova Albion. A small island in the vicinity of Alaska is labeled Anian. In Asia, the Great Wall of China is illustrated and the northeastern coastline is severely truncated. Northern and Western Australia, Van Diemens Landt and New Zealand have incomplete coastlines. New Guinea looks as if it may be attached to Australia. Tucked between the cusps of the map are astronomical diagrams illustrating the Copernican and Ptolemaic solar system theories. Dutch text on verso. This is the first state with the imprint of A. Hogeboom Gelettert below the bottom neatline. Ref: Shirley #513; Poortman & Augusteijn #129 (GI).

(HC) Very unusual world map from a Dutch book on church history published by the Goeree brothers. While not mentioned by Shirley, this map is obviously based on the hemispheres by Thomas Burnet in his Telluris Theoria Sacra of 1681. Thomas Burnet was the first Englishman to attempt a scientific account of the origin of the earth. His popular and controversial treatise focused on the breaking up of “the fountains of the great deep” as the cause of the flood, as described in Genesis 7:11, and it presented a model of the earth’s structure with ample stores of water within subterranean chambers. This adaptation presents the hemispheres, one above the other, and slightly overlapping. The earth is shown after the Flood; the continents in outline with accentuated chains of mountains and no place names. Numerous islands are shown throughout the oceans denoting hypothetical lands that existed before the Flood. California is depicted as an island and Australia and New Zealand are partially formed.

(HC) The unique composition of this interesting map shows the entire world but emphasizes the Old World.

The main map depicts the Eastern Hemisphere, into which is inset a smaller Western Hemisphere with the island of California. The map shows the extents of the Roman Empire and Alexander the Great’s Empire. Below are vignettes depicting the seven wonders of the ancient world. Tables and comments of French text surround the map. Nice impression and color with a mat burn and a few marginal tears in the wide margins, well away from the image. (+B) $325-400 32. World (Nova Delineatio Totius Orbis Terrarum Per Petrum Vander Aa… Niewe Werelt Caart), Aa, Leiden, ca. 1720. 13.5 x 10.2”. (HC) Originally published by Jacob van Meurs in 1660, and reissued here by Van der Aa, this map is based on Arnold Colom’s wonderfully graphic map from the first world maritime atlas. California is an island, separated from Nova Albion, which stretches towards Asia and off the map. The western coast of New Zealand appears, as do several other important Pacific islands. Australia is partially mapped and only the southern tip of Tasmania appears. Each hemisphere includes a strap work cartouche, one with the Dutch title Niewe Werelt Caart. Superb engravings surround the map with representations of the gods Apollo and his sister Diana representing day and night with four female allegories of the elements of Fire, Air, Water and Earth.

(HC) This uncommon map is based on Johann Baptist Homann’s Planiglobii Terrestris Cum Utrog Hemisphaerio Caelesti and is embellished with similar engravings of natural phenomena and the starry heavens. However, the map itself differs from Homann’s in that it presents an insular California and a different Terra Esonis with the Fretum Anian. The map also retains a faint outline of the great southern continent, Terra Australis Incongnita. Instead of celestial maps between the cusps of the hemispheres, Weigel has included terrestrial maps on polar projections. Minor creasing at center and faint toning and edge tears in blank margins. (A) $1500-1800 34. World (Planiglobii Terrestris Mappa Universalis), Homann Heirs, Nuremberg, 1746. 21.5 x 18”. (HC) This handsome double hemisphere world map was drawn by Georg Moritz Lowitz, based on the work of Johann Mathias Haas. It includes four polar spheres, each in a different projection, and two interesting diagrams depicting the earth, as it would be seen from space. This is a later (circa 1760), more interesting version with the coast above California revised to show an early Alaskan Peninsula based on Mueller’s important map. In the South Pacific there are partial coastlines of New Zealand and Australia. Two very large, decorative cartouches contain the titles, one in Latin, the other French. The Latin cartouche features mythical sea creatures and the other is surrounded by fruit and animals representing the bounty of the earth. There is some minor soil in the bottom corners. The bottom margin has been professionally replaced with a bit of the neatline in facsimile. (+B) $1300-1600 35.

(HC) Charming double hemisphere map surrounded by engravings of the heavens and natural phenomena such as waterspouts, a rainbow, earthquakes, and a volcano. The map shows a typical 18th century geographical view with the northwest coastline of North America extending toward Asia. Nestled between the hemispheres are two depictions of the solar system based on Copernicus and Tycho Brahe. The title is contained in a banner across the top and text panels at bottom name the major regions of each continent. Original color. Narrow, but adequate top margin, as issued. (+A) $400-475 36.

(HC) This pair of attractive maps cover the world. The map of the Americas displays a speculative River of the West through North America, beginning at the Great Lakes and emptying into the Pacific at about 50 N. latitude. The entire western part of North America is virtually blank. The northwest coastline is delineated by a dotted line terminating with a notation concerning the Russian explorations in 1743 in the region of Alaska, with a nearby coast of Asia. The map of the Eastern Hemisphere provides an excellent view of the still evolving cartography in the Far East. The depiction of East Asia includes an extended landmass beyond the Kamchatka Peninsula, as well as the outdated ideas of Kompagnies Land and Land Jeso. The islands of the Philippines and Indonesia are not well shaped, and Australia is a very odd shape that incorporates New Guinea with most of the southern and eastern coastlines shown as dotted lines. The interior of Africa is mostly blank with the Nile’s source correctly located. Issued folding and now flattened. (+A) $475-550 37. World (Plan von der Ganzen Erdkugel), Reinhold, 1786. 13 x 7.5”. (BW) This very unusual German map of the world is presented on an oval projection, which was popular nearly two centuries prior to its publication. The map traces Captain Cook’s three voyages and features an unusual depiction of the region of Alaska and Kamchatka with a very narrow passage between the two continents. This map is not recorded in any institutional collections that we can find and would make a great addition to a collection focused on the discoveries of Capt. Cook. Lightly toned with some stains in the bottom margin. (+B) $300-375 38. World (Generalkarte Soemmtlicher Entdeckungen auf den drei Grossen Weltreisen des Kapit. Jakob Cook. Verflast von Herrn Heinrich Roberts…), Schraembl, Vienna, 1789. 17.5 x 20.5”. (HC) This large, two-sheet map of the world is presented on Mercator’s Projection. It marks the routes taken by Captain Cook on his three expeditions, centered on the Pacific Ocean, where Cook’s most important discoveries were made. The map is based on the important map by Lieutenant Henry Roberts, who compiled the surveys for the official account of the voyage. The tracks detail the voyages, each distinguished by a different color, with dates of important discoveries noted. Two sheets, unjoined, dimensions are for each sheet. There are small stains on the centerfolds, still overall very good. (A) $1200-1400 39. World (Mappe Monde ou Description du Globe Terrestre), Lattre, Petit Atlas Moderne, Paris, ca. 1790. 9.8 x 7”. (BW) A charming double hemisphere world map with a decorative title cartouche. New Zealand is fully formed and the outline of Australia nearly complete but Tasmania is still joined to the mainland. In North America, Alaska is shown with approximately the correct shape and the Is Sandwich are shown in the Pacific. Some minor extraneous creases along centerfold and a smudge of soil at lower right, short tears in lower margin. (+B) $200-240 40. World (De Werelt Caart), Danckerts/Elwe, Amsterdam, [1791]. 20.3 x 14.5”. (HC) This is Cornelius Danckerts’ second world map; his first being a re-engraved version of his father’s map. This map is presented in the new scientific style popular at the turn of the 18th century. Danckerts retained the continental outlines from his father’s map, including the island form of California/b>. However, he updated information on the course of the Mississippi from recent French discoveries. Terra Esonis stretches across the Pacific from just above California nearly to Asia and the land of Yedso above Japan. Tasman’s discoveries relating to Australia, New Zealand and Tasmania are shown in the Pacific. North and south polar projections appear at the top and bottom between the spheres. In each upper corner are illustrations of the Ptolemaic theory on the revolution of the planets and stars around the earth. In the lower corners are diagrams of the movement of the Sun throughout varying degrees of latitude, and a plan of the Sun, Moon and Earth during lunar and solar eclipses. There are extensive notations in Dutch at the top and a keyed table of latitude at the bottom. This is a later version published by Jan Barend Elwe; his imprint at bottom left has replaced that of Danckerts with the old imprint still barely visible. Shirley does not mention this edition, but Poortman & Augusteijn note that Elwe published Danckert’s Bible in 1791. Ref: Shirley #615; Poortman & Augusteijn #159. There is some expert paper restoration (leaf-casting method) in the left side margin with some of the neatlines and map border in facsimile. (B) $1400-1600 41. World (A New Chart of the World, on Mercator’s Projection: Exhibiting the Tracks & Discoveries of the Most Eminent Navigators, to the Present Period), Cary, Universal Atlas, London, 1801. 20.3 x 17.8”. (HC) This finely executed British map of the world is presented on the Mercator projection. It focuses on the voyages of discovery from the previous century. The track of each expedition is plotted and annotated with dates and specific important discoveries. All of Cook’s voyages, as well as the explorations of Vancouver, la Perouse, etc, are delineated in fine detail. In North America, the west is depicted as a huge blank region devoid of detail save for a large lake adjacent to the Dogg Nation. In western Canada the Rocky Mountains are named the Stony Mountains and suddenly jog eastward several hundred miles as they enter the United States. Alaska is delineated in a somewhat bloated shape. New Zealand is completely mapped, and Tasmania is separated from the continent but Australia’s southern coastline is in an early configuration with little detail. The map does not show interior political divisions but provides nice detail of watershed, topography, major cities and regions. Ref: Rumsey 1657.003. Phillips (A) 714; The Map Collector, issue 43, p. 40-47. Lovely example with fine, dark impression and full original color and wide margins. There is a small area of flower-pressing stains at lower right and a few very small spots in blank ocean at top. (+B) $500-700 42. World (Planisphere), Levasseur, Atlas Illustre, Paris, ca. 1852. 16.3 x 11.4”. (HC) Lovely map from one of the last decorative atlases of the nineteenth century. The map is presented on Mercator’s projection and surrounded by fine steel engravings including vignettes representing the four seasons, allegorical figures of the continents, several mythical figures, Adam and Eve and much else of interest. In North America, a very large Oregon appears on the west coast stretching from California into British Columbia. (A) $275-325 43. World (The World), Ensign, Bridgman & Fanning, The World Geographical, Historical, And Statistical, New York, ca. 1861. 25 x 18”. (HC) A most unusual and rarely seen double hemispheric map of the world surrounded by vignettes. Along the top are 28 portraits titled “Principle Varieties of the Human Race,” with each type named. Along the bottom are 39 models titled “Female Costumes of Different Parts of the World,” each numbered and keyed to a list of countries. Other vignettes along the sides show pyramids, elephants, Greek ruins, etc. At center is a nice engraving of the lighthouse at Alexandria. A rarely offered map that had limited publication

in Charles Savage’s book. The map appears unchanged throughout its publication in the 1850’s and early 1860’s. Close trimmed at right with a few areas of small loss to border, edge tear at left poorly closed, some stains, and a crease. Some of these flaws have archival tape repair on verso. Actually the map is quite sound and intact with nice impression and original hand coloring. (+C) $350-450 44. World & Celestial (Scientia Terrarum et Coelorum: Or the Heavens and Earth Astronomically and Geographically Delineated and Display’d…), Dunn, General Atlas, London, 1781. 48 x 20.5”. (HC) This is one of the most well-known wall maps from the latter part of the 18th century. The huge double-hemisphere map of the world is surrounded by celestial and astronomical maps, an inset world map on Mercator’s projection, a map of the moon, and a fascinating explanation of the Vicissitude of Seasons (with a great graphic of the sun). The map was first issued in 1772 and was updated and reissued several times over a 30 year period. This is the Sayer and Bennett edition with several important updates, including the complete set of tracks for the three voyages of Capt. Cook. It shows his discoveries in Australia and New Zealand, and those he made in the North Pacific on his third and final voyage. Printed on four sheets (in this case with the upper and lower pairs joined as issued). The size is for the joined sheets; if they were joined the map would measure 48 x 41”. Original outline color. The map has several minor tears, repairs, and stains, including some minor paper loss along the fold through the Eastern Hemisphere and slight loss in the bottom corners. The paper is sound and the map would be stunning with a modest investment in professional conservation. (C) $1600-2000 45. Ancient World (Universalis Cosmographia), Honter, Gemeiner loblicher Eydgnoschaffer…, Zurich, [1548]. 6.5 x 4.8”. (HC) This scarce, heart-shaped world map is based on Waldseemuller’s important map of 1516 and Apian’s map of 1520. The map reflects Magellan’s reports of the South American continent and the vast Pacific Ocean. The North American coastline is depicted as part of a large island, with a direct route to Asia near the Equator. The woodblock map was cut by Heinrich Vogtherr the Elder and first published in Honter’s Rudimenta Cosmographica. It was issued numerous times thereafter in a number of publications up to 1602.

(HC) An unusual vertical orientation makes this an interesting map of the polar regions. The South Pole shows Tierra del Fuego as the only land, and the North Pole includes a portion of the coastline of fictional Anian, with a well-developed Arctic for the period. Novaya Zemla is shown with a partial coastline. Billowing clouds and vigorous wind heads surround the spheres with ribbon title banners completing the interesting composition. (+A) $650-750 50. Polar (Carte Magnetique des Deux Hemispheres), Buffon, Histoire Naturelle Generale et Particuliere, Paris, ca. 1780. 36.5 x 19”. (BW) This scarce and unusual twin hemisphere map is presented on a polar projection. The approximate position of the northern magnetic pole, indicated by a large shaded area, is located just north of the Arctic Circle. The variations in terrestrial magnetism at different points on the earth’s surface are indicated throughout the map. The boldly engraved map shows only the continental outlines with few country and place names. Alaska is in a rudimentary shape, the southern coast of Australia is still unknown and Tasmania is thought to be connected to the mainland. The chart reflects the latest discoveries with evidence of Capt. Cook’s Pacific surveys, La Perouse’s last voyage to the Pacific in 1775, and also the work of Jean-Charles Borda who is credited with the first observations on the variations in terrestrial magnetism. The map is sometimes attributed to La Perouse, but was published in the scarce mineralogy section of Buffon’s Historie Naturelle. Issued folded, now flattened with tissue reinforcement of folds. Trimmed into neatline at left, apparently as issued. There is some toning along the folds and there are a few short folds are still separated. (+C) $700-800 51. North Pole (Nova et Accurata Poli Arctici et terrarum Circum Iacentium Descriptio), Jansson, Nieuwen Atlas, ofte Werelt Beschryvinge…, Amsterdam, ca. 1650. 20.8 x 16”. (HC) This beautiful map, originally published in 1637, eventually replaced Hondius’ map of the North Pole and became the prototype for many later maps including those of Blaeu. This map incorporates the discoveries made by Captain Thomas James along the southern and western shores of Hudson Bay in 1631-2. The delineation on Russia’s Arctic coast is derived from the information from Willem Barents’ exploration of 1596-7. A small island off the coast of Lapland is named for the English explorer Hugh Willoughby (Sir Hugo Willoughby’s Landt), who led a failed expedition to find a Northeast Passage in 1553. Rhumb lines radiate from the North Pole and several compass roses embellish the chart. A large title cartouche, with two figures and numerous wind heads, conveniently hide the northwest coast of America. The map is further decorated with ships and a cartouche with Jansson’s imprint, which depicts men in parkas, a polar bear and foxes. This is the second state of the plate with a legend beneath the cartouche. French text on verso. Ref: Burden #250; Kershaw #107. Lovely original color with a couple tiny, insignificant spots.

(HC) This uncommon polar chart of the Antarctic depicts a huge Terra Incognita Australis and includes Tierra del Fuego, the Strait of Magellan and the tip of South America. This misconception of the great southern continent persisted since the earliest printed maps. As trading and exploration penetrated further south in the latter part of the 17th century, this conception was gradually whittled away. However, it did not entirely die out, and was revived by a number of cartographers in the early eighteenth century including Chatelain, Jaillot and Weigel.

(HC) This fanciful cartographic curiosity provides a unique view of Renaissance attitudes toward the unknown lands beyond the civilized world. The woodblock illustration presents a compendium of monsters thought to exist in the sixteenth century. It was the source for many subsequent mapmaker’s illustrations of the creatures thought to inhabit the seas and lands of the unexplored world. The panel across the top illustrates several unusual land-based creatures including a gluttonous bear. The majority of the monsters are ferocious sea creatures shown devouring hapless sailors and wrecking ships. There is a massive lobster shown with a person in its huge claws, and a huge fanged whale erupting fountains of water from its head, as well as a tree that appears to bear ducks as fruit.

Cartographic Miscellany ([Volvelle] Tabula Segunda de las Oras de Planetas, que llaman desiguales, a la latitud de 50 grados), Galluci, Theatro del mundo y del tiempo, Venice, ca. 1657. 7 x 10.4”. (HC) This is a fascinating and fully functional 5.3” volvelle, used to solve problems concerning the calendar, tide tables, the rising and setting of the sun, moon, or stars, and the positions of planets. There is an engraved circle with 31 divisions, into which a separate piece of paper is attached with a red satin ribbon. This inner piece is marked with signs of the Zodiac, and rotates around the circle. An extremely interesting apparatus, more amazing for the fact that is still fully functional. Because of their delicate nature most volvelles have not survived intact. Gallucci’s work, originally published in Latin (Theatrum Mundi, et Temporis…) in 1588, was completed only 45 years after Copernicus’ landmark astronomical work. It is notable for being the first star atlas to use a complete coordinate system. The atlas was very popular and went through numerous printings including the Spanish editions from 1606-57 that were printed in Granada. Galluci included 51 different volvelles in this important early star atlas. There is a small stain in the upper margin, still overall fine. (+A) $150-200

56. Cartographic Miscellany (La Sphere Artificielle), Fer, L’Atlas Curieux, Paris, ca. 1705. 13 x 9.3”. (HC) Nice engraving of a handsome set of table globes consisting of a celestial globe, armillary sphere and a terrestrial globe. Engraved by H. van Loon. Ref: Kanas Fig. 7.13. Professionally backed with light Japanese tissue. There is a small section of paper restoration in the left margin and into a small part of an unengraved section of the image. The work is very well done, with the leaf casting method, and is not at all distracting. (B) $180-230 57. Cartographic Miscellany ([Lot of 2] Afbeeldinge van ‘t zeer vermaarde Eiland Geks-Kop [and] Nieuwe Volkplanting om wind), Anon., Het Groote Tafereel der Dwaasheid …, ca. 1720. x ”. (HC) These satirical engravings are some of the most famous cartographic curiosities. They represent the collapse of the French Compagnie de la Louisiane d’Occident, and similar English and Dutch companies. John Law, a Scottish financier, established the company in 1717 and was granted control of Louisiana. Law developed an elaborate plan - The Mississippi Scheme (now known as the Mississippi Bubble) - to exploit the fabulous resources of the region. It quickly gained popularity and people rushed to invest in the scheme. Share prices opened at 500 livres and rapidly rose to 18,000 livres. At this point, speculators cashed in, caused a run on the shares, and the company went bankrupt. As a consequence of the failure of the Mississippi Scheme, confidence in other similar companies failed, and thousands of individual investors across Europe were ruined. The general term Bubble was applied to such schemes and this great engraving is filled with puns referring to the greed and foolishness of the speculators and investors. The central map (9 x 6.3”) is contained in an elaborately engraved cartouche surrounded by scenes of ill-fated investors. The map of the island of Madhead is in the shape of a man’s head with the ears of a jackass, wearing a fool’s cap - Does anyone else see a resemblance to Timothy Giethner here? The islands of Poverty, Sorrow, and Despair surround the main island. The Dutch title translates, “Representation of the very famous island of Mad-head, lying in the sea of shares, discovered by Mr. Law-rens, and inhabited by a collection of all kinds of people, to whom are given the general name shareholders.” The map is accompanied by an additional sheet with an engraved view (7.5 x 5.7”) of the Mississippi River and four similar vignettes showing investors devastated by the scheme.

(BW) An important leaf from the Creation of the World series. The recto features the illustration representing God’s work on the sixth day. Whereas the previous engravings in this series show only God’s hand in the upper corner, God is depicted in this scene creating man in his own image. Adam emerges from the soil in the Garden of Eden amongst all the animals. On the verso is the “Sanctification of the Seventh Day” that shows the Aristotelian celestial spheres, with earth at the center of thirteen symbolic circles. God sits above the firmament surrounded by the heavenly choir with four winds filling the corners of this unique illustration. The spheres surrounding earth are labeled for water, air, fire, the moon, Mercury, Venus, Sun, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, the ring of the Zodiac, the Coelum Christallinum or crystalline ceiling, and the Primum Mobile or prime force by which the universe is kept in motion. This is one of the most beautiful and important leaves in this great work. Size given is for the full sheet. Ref: Kanas #3.8.3; Wilson pp. 81-97.

Celestial ([Lot of 2] Imagines Coeli Septentrionales cum Duodecim Imaginibus Zodiaci [and] Imagines Coeli Meridionales), Anon., ca. 1600. 4 x 5”. (BW) These rare copper engravings are based on the first printed star charts by Albrecht Durer in 1515. The Ptolemaic constellations are depicted for the northern and southern celestial hemispheres. Each is centered on an ecliptic pole using polar stereographic projection with external orientation. The constellation images are all viewed from the rear and are depicted according to their classical Greek and Roman attributes. The zodiac constellations adorn the outer edge of the northern hemisphere. Durer’s style influenced several later cartographers including Honter, Apian, and Volpaia. We can find no past record of sales for these engravings, nor can we find them in the references we have at hand. The southern hemisphere is lightly toned, else fine. (A) $2000-2500 62. Celestial - Solar System (Systema Mundi Tychonicum…), Doppelmayr/Homann, Nuremberg, ca. 1712. 23 x 19”.

67. Celestial ([Lot of 6] The Stars, in six maps, on the Gnomonic Projection), SDUK Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, London, [1844]. 10.5 x 10.8”. (HC) This set of steel engraved celestial charts was produced by W. Newton from the catalogue of the Astronomical Society and revised by Rev. William Rutter Dawes. The six charts include two circumpolar and four centered on the solstices and equinoxes. They are presented on the gnomonic projection and include all the stars up to the sixth magnitude, or those that can been seen with the naked eye. The maps show the influence of both Pardies and Flamsteed. The geocentric constellations are shown in allegorical form that were designed by W. B. Clarke, engraved by J & C Walker and published by Charles Knight. Included with the charts are the title page and explanation sheet, complete as issued. Ref: Kanas #6.4.4.6. Original pastel coloring.

Western Hemisphere 68. Western Hemisphere (Descripcion de las Yndias Ocidentales), Herrera y Tordesillas, Historia General, Madrid, [1601]. 12.8 x 9”. (HC) This is the scarce, original edition of Antonio de Herrera y Tordesillas important map of the Americas that he prepared as the official historian of Castile and the Indies. He compiled a history of the Spanish conquests and early explorations in the Americas, that included this simple, but elegantly engraved map of the Americas and the Pacific extending to the Spanish interests in the Philippines. North America is truncated with a peninsular California and the Sierra Nevadas comprise the northern coast. The Amazon and the Plata are the major features of South America and a large, partially formed Tierra del Fuego is depicted. The map includes the Pacific Ocean with the Spanish possessions. Korea appears as an island off the east coast of Asia. The map is largely derived from the manuscript charts of Juan Lopez de Velasco. The lines of Spanish-Portuguese demarcation are shown, dividing the non-Christian world into spheres of influence. This scarce edition was only published once. Ref: Burden #140. Repaired along the centerfold with some restoration of paper loss - still an attractive example of a very scarce map. (B) $950-1100 69. Western Hemisphere (Descriptio Americae), Bertius/Claesz, Tabularum Geographicarum Contractarum, Amsterdam, [1602]. 4.8 x 3.3”. (HC) First state of this charming miniature map based on the 1587 folio map by Abraham Ortelius. A notation in North America notes its discovery by Christopher Columbus in 1492. The only place names in North America, Norombega, Granada, and Marata, are all mythical. This map has a convoluted publishing history and it has been attributed to both Cornelis Claesz and Petrus Bertius. It made its appearance in a number of works starting with Claesz’ work criticizing the Spanish for their treatment of the Indians. It then appeared in Bertius’ revision of Langenes’ pocket atlas. Claesz was the publisher for both these works. The title appears above the top border. The title page of the atlas is printed on verso. Ref: Burden #92; King (2nd ed) pp. 80-82.

Western Hemisphere (America sive India Nova ad magnae Gerardi Mercatoris aui Universalis imitationem in compendium redacta), Mercator, Atlantis Pars Altera, Amsterdam, [1607-12]. 18 x 14.5”. (HC) This is one of the most famous maps of the Americas and an important foundation map for an American map collection. After the death of his grandfather, Michael Mercator produced this stunning hemispherical map, the only known printed map attributed to him. The map is surrounded by a beautifully engraved floral design and four roundels, one of which contains the title. The other insets include the Gulf of Mexico, Cuba, and Haiti. The geography was patterned after Rumold Mercator’s world map of 1587, with a little added detail. There is a large inland lake in Canada, and the St Lawrence River extends nearly halfway across the continent with no Great Lakes. There is a still a bulge in the west coast of South America. The large southern continent extends above the Tropic of Capricorn in the Pacific where there is a very large island of New Guinea. Above North America are two of the four islands of the North Pole, with the great mythical rivers flowing from the pole. The seas are full of mythical islands, including St. Brendain, Frislant and Sept citez. Latin text on verso with page number 39, indicating this map is from the editions published between 1607 and 1612 editions. Ref: Burden #87. Beautiful example in stunning color with a dark, crisp impression and wide margins. A few edge tears, expertly closed on verso with Japanese tissue. (+A) $6000-8000 71. Western Hemisphere (Carte de l’Amerique Corrigee et augmentee; dessus toutes les autres cy devant faictes par P. Bertius), Bertius/Tavernier, Paris, ca. 1627. 19.8 x 15”. (HC) According to Burden, “this rare map is one of a set of the four known continents that Melchior Tavernier had engraved, with or without Petrus Bertius’ permission is unclear.” Burden attributes Cornelis Danckerts (the elder) as the engraver. The map itself bears only the name P. Bertius and while similar to his map of 1624, this map has a completed western coast of North America and different decorations in the sea. Both are based on Jodocus Hondius’ map of 1618, with the completion of the southern coast of Tierra del Fuego. The map is richly embellished with two polar insets, a decorative cartouche and numerous ships, sea battles, sea monsters, and scenes of Native American life in South America. Rare first state, without Neuf Amsterdam and other colonial place names in the Northeast and West. Ref: Burden #218. Dark impression with original color. There is some ink residue in the borders. There is an old paper repair on the bottom marginal fold. An ink number of the verso is barely visible in the inset at top. (+B) $2000-2500 72. Western Hemisphere (America Noviter Delineata), Hondius/Jansson, Amsterdam, ca. 1660. 19.5 x 14.8”. (HC) This beautiful and popular map of the Americas was emulated by many cartographers and went through numerous editions. Originally issued by Jodocus Hondius in 1618 with carte-a-figures borders, it was derived from two earlier maps by Blaeu. The North Pole depicts Frobisher’s theory of the Northwest Passage and the South Pole shows the long-held notion of the mythical southern continent. North America retains the peninsular California and the East Coast is beginning to take shape, although it still lacks detail in the mid-Atlantic region. In the Southwest the famous seven cities of Cibola appear on the banks of a large lake. In South America, the fictional Parime Lacus lies on the Equator, and there are tiny engraved scenes, one detailing a cannibalistic feast. Two stylized insets of the polar regions are enclosed in strapwork cartouches. The map is richly ornamented with a strapwork title cartouche, fleets of ships and sea monsters. Shortly after Jodocus Hondius’ death in 1629 the plated passed into the hands of his brother, Henricus. The borders were removed to facilitate the smaller format of the Atlas Novus that was published in partnership with his brother-in-law, Jan Jansson. This is state 5 with Jansson’s imprint below the cartouche. Blank verso. Ref: Burden #192; Tooley (Amer) plt. 172. Very wide margins with a couple minor tears repaired and tissue reinforcement along the centerfold. (A) $2750-3500 73. Western Hemisphere (America), Duval/Beer, Geographiae Universalis…, Nuremberg, [1681]. 5 x 4.2”. (HC) This delightful miniature map of the Americas shows California as an island and the F. Anien separating California from a huge Terre de Iesso. The Spanish colony of Sa. Fe is identified, Quebec is shown as the capital of the French possessions and St. Augustine is shown in Florida. N. Suede is incorrectly shown, as the Dutch took possession of that colony in 1655. In the Pacific, the recently discovered coastline of New Zealand is depicted; but it incorrectly runs in an east-west orientation. In South America the mythical city of Manoa appears on a spurious large lake that straddles the equator. Pierre Duval was Nicolas Sanson’s nephew and pupil. He published a wide range of atlases and individual maps including a fine miniature world geography with many of the maps based on Sanson. This map is from the German edition of Duval’s world geography. The maps were probably engraved by Sigismund G. Hipschman (as his signature appears on the title page and the world map) and have Latin titles rather than the original French. The maps are often attributed to Johann C. Beer, who translated the work into German. Ref: Burden #499; King (2nd ed.) pp. 144-45; McLaughlin #26. There are some minor extraneous creases, else fine. (A)$400-475 74. Western Hemisphere (L’Amerique Septentrionale & Meridionale Divisee en ses Principales Parties…), Valck, Amsterdam, ca. 1695. 22.8 x 19.3”. (HC) This beautiful map of the Americas is derived from Jaillot’s map of North America in 1674, which in turn drew on the cartography of Nicolas Sanson. California appears as an island and the Great Lakes are open-ended in the west. The R. del Norte (Rio Grande) rises from a large lake in Apache country and flows incorrectly into the Mer Rouge between the mainland and the island of California. A spurious lake is depicted in the Appalachian Mountains just above Floride Francoise. In the North Pacific several coastlines stretch toward Asia with Japan appearing on the left border. In the South Pacific Terre de Quir and the Salomon Islands are depicted. The mythical Lac Parime appears in South America with the golden city of Manoa el Dorado on its shore. The bottom of the map is richly embellished with two great scenes of Europeans trading with natives. The scene on the left incorporates eight distance scales into a large monument. The title cartouche is rendered in the flourishing style that gained popularity at the turn of the seventeenth century. A second title is in the top margin. Ref: Burden #713; McLaughlin #153. Good impression and original color with mild toning, a couple small spots, and an old paper repair on the lower centerfold. (+B) $1900-2200 75. Western Hemisphere (A General and Particular Description of America), Moll, Thesaurus Geographicus. A New Body of Geography…, London, ca. 1700. 7 x 7.5”. (BW) This uncommon map is on a page with English text below the map and on verso. California is show as an island on the Briggs model with no place names given. To the northwest the wildly stretched coast of Jesso nearly touches California. Hudson Bay opens up to give an early hint of the Great Lakes. Santa Fe is named in New Mexico. Western Canada is labeled New North Wales. A huge and ill-defined coastline in the lower left is an early representation of New Zealand. The interesting text credits Americus Vesputius along with Columbus with the discovery of America. The ancients are credited with having knowledge of America, and Plato mentions Atlantis as that “which was overflowed by an horrible Earthquake, and extraordinary Rain.” Extra titles are superimposed over the map due to a misalignment of the text. Ref: McLaughlin #173. A couple small spots in map. The full sheet is close trimmed at left and right edge has a short marginal tear and edge toning. Strong, dark impression. (B) $325-450

76. Western Hemisphere (America Aurea Pars Altera Mundi), Valck, Amsterdam, ca. 1708. 23.5 x 19.3”. (HC) This ornamental map of the Americas depicts California as an island with a northern coastline indented by two bays on the second Sanson model. California is separated from the mainland by the island-dotted Mare Rubrum. A faint coastline of Terra Esonis stretches northwestward off the map. The interior is fully engraved with mountains, forests, place names and Indian tribes. The Great Lakes are formed with an enlarged Lake Michigan (Lac Illinois), and the Mississippi is fairly accurately aligned. The large title cartouche features an Amazon queen in a feather headdress, surrounded by native animals and sugar cane, receiving a kneeling subject who presents her with gold. The cartography of the map is very close to Allard’s map of c. 1696 and the cartouche is nearly identical. Ref: McLaughlin #176; Tooley (Amer) p.128, #68, plt. 53; Wagner (NW) #496. Stunning original color with strong impression with a couple spots in the Arctic. There is a bit of printer’s ink residue in the plate with the wipe marks still evident.

Western Hemisphere (L’Amerique, Meridionale et Septentrionale dressee selon les Dernieres Relations…), Fer, Introduction a la geographie…, Paris, 1717. 13 x 8.8”. (HC) This charming map of the Americas is a reduced derivative of De Fer’s classical wall map of 1698 with information gathered from the archives of the Academie Royale des Sciences. The island of California covers the entire west coast of North America north of the Tropic of Cancer with two large imaginary islands off shore. One of the prominent features in northern Mexico is Les Mine de S. Iean et de Ste. Barbe, the legendary Santa Barbara mines of the Chihuahua-Durango region. There are several large spurious lakes on both continents. A partial coastline of New Zealand appears beside the title cartouche. The map is richly decorated with three cartouches and a compass rose. This is the third state. Ref: Burden #759; McLaughlin #135, Tooley (Amer) #61, p. 126. Issued folding, now flattened. A tiny binding tear in the lower left border has been professionally repaired and the binding trim has been replaced. (+B) $700-900 78. Western Hemisphere (Totius Americae Septentrionalis et Meridionalis Novissima Repraesentatio), Homann Heirs, Nuremberg, ca. 1730. 22.8 x 19”. (HC) This attractive map is a revision of the elder Homann’s 1710 map of the Americas. After his death in 1724, his son (Johann Christoph Homann) re-engraved the plate to correct the western coastline of North America, shown here extending very far west and north, with very little detail. California is no longer shown as an island, although the remnants of the interior sea can be seen near the Pais de Moozemleck where a river nearly connects with the Mississippi River system, hinting at the possibility of a Northwest Passage. The Great Lakes are taking shape, being actively explored by the French fur traders and Hudson’s Bay Company. The map is decorated with two large pictorial cartouches, the one at top shows natives worshipping a fearsome demon at the right, while at left they listen placidly to a priest. The lower cartouche features the landscape, native fauna and two natives. Sharp impression and original color on lightly toned, sturdy paper. A 5” tear along the bottom centerfold has been professionally repaired. (B) $1000-1300 79. Western Hemisphere (Carte d’Amerique Dressee pour l’Usage du Roy), Delisle/Covens & Mortier, Amsterdam, 1739. 23.5 x 18.8”. (HC) This map, first issued by Delisle in 1722, was one of the most popular maps of the 18th century. This is the fourth state published in Amsterdam by Covens & Mortier with the addition of a Latin title at top; America Accurate in Imperia, Regna, Status & Populos Divisa. The detailed map of the Americas provides a great deal of information about the state of geographic knowledge in the New World in the early part of the century. In North America the western coast is blank above California. The French territory of Louisiane takes up the lion’s share of North America at the expense of the British colonies. This political bias is due to Delisle’s position as geographer to the King of France. South America is much better represented with good depiction of the river systems and locations of the Jesuit missions. According to Tooley, this 1739 issue is from a re-engraved plate which is basically unchanged from the 1722. Ref: Tooley (Amer) p. 13, #4, plt. 2. Beautiful example with original color and strong impression on thick hand laid paper. Along the lower margin is a repaired tear and a 4” narrow section with paper laid in, both repairs expertly accomplished. Map image is near fine. (+B) $1000-1200 80.

California is shown correctly as a peninsula. There is little detail with only general place names. The British colonies are confined to the eastern seaboard. Beautiful, early impression with a hint of light toning at center left. (A) $100-140 81. Western Hemisphere (L’Amerique Suivant le R.P. Charlevoix Jte. Mr. de la Condamine et Plusieurs autres Nouvle. Observations), Le Rouge, Paris, 1746. 25 x 19”. (HC) This is the first state of this map showing the recent discoveries in North and South America. The entire northwest coast of North America is completely blank with the bold Riv. de l’ Ouest (River of the West) stretching from Lake Superior to the Pacific, based on the reports of the Jesuit missionary, Pierre de Charlevoix. In South America the Amazon River is detailed according to Charles Marie de la Condamine’s expedition. This is a very early record of Condamine’s incredible 10-year adventure, 1735-45; his journal of the expedition was not published until 1751. A text table details the colonial possessions. There are old repairs on a 1 1/2” tear at top and some chips in the bottom margin, one of which affects a thumbnail size part of the border, with the neatlines drawn in facsimile. (B) $1000-1200 82. Western Hemisphere (Americae Mappa generalis), Haas/Homann Heirs, Nuremberg, 1746. 20.5 x 18”. (HC) This is a handsome, decorative eighteenth century map of the Americas with considerable detail throughout. It extends to the western part of Africa and southwest Europe. There is only an amorphous coastline shown above the peninsular California, with the Pacific Northwest left blank. The very large title cartouche includes two erupting volcanoes, Native Americans, palm trees, sugar cane, parrots and a pot of gold. Johann Matthias Haas was a professor of mathematics at Wittenberg, and he worked with the Homann Heirs updating their map stock. Nice impression and original color. Margins have been slightly trimmed but are still ample, with some staple holes from a previous framing. (A) $700-800 83.

Alaska is shown in an early configuration with a rough shape incorporating the Aleutians and notations concerning the coastline discoveries in 1741 by the Russians. In North America, the British colonies are shown east of the mountains, French Louisiana takes in most of the interior and Spain controls Florida, New Mexico and Mexico. There are several islands shown in the Pacific and just the western coastline of New Zealand. A handsome map with a decorative rococo-style title cartouche. A marginal fold separation at bottom is closed with archival tape. There are some minor ink stains within the map. (+B) $275-350 84. Western Hemisphere (A New Map of the Whole Continent of America, Divided into North and South and West Indies…), Sayer & Bennett, The General Atlas, London, 1777. 46 x 20.5”. (HC) This impressive, large-scale map of North and South America was originally drawn by John Gibson in 1763 with a slightly different title. The map went through several revisions; this is the third state. The huge map is filled with incredible detail and is based on D’Anville’s cartography, as well as Spanish explorations on the west coast of North America and the journals of Governor Pownall in New England and Canada. The British colonies are shown with the western boundary on the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers. This issue includes Fort Detroit located at the southern end of the Lake St. Clair, which has been considerably altered in shape from previous editions. In the west are two possible locations for a River of the West; one with its source at Pike’s Lake, the other further north at Lake Winnipeg. A Chinese colony, Fou Sang is shown in present-day British Columbia, just north of a notation concerning the Sea of the West. At lower left is an inset map of Hudson and Baffin’s Bay. Above the inset is a large text panel listing of the Articles of the Treaty of Paris of 1763. The baroque-style title cartouche features a beaver, a crocodile and an Indian headdress amid trees, a waterfall and tropical flora. Printed on four sheets (joined to form two pairs) as issued. The map would measure 46 x 41” if joined. Ref: Tooley (Amer) p. 51, #3c; Stevens & Tree #3c. Original outline color. There is some minor toning and offsetting, short tears or fold separations (most with old repairs). The margins are toned and there is some paper loss in the corner, including small loss of neatlines on the top sheets. The map would be stunning with a modest investment in professional conservation. (+C) $1200-1400 85. Western Hemisphere (Amerique Septentrionale et Meridionale), Expilly, Le Geographie Manuel, Paris, ca. 1777. 3.5 x 5”. (HC) This miniature map of the hemisphere delineates the major divisions on the southern continent with dotted lines. A small cartouche covers the unknown northwestern part of North America with a note concerning the discoveries of Admiral de Fuentes. Many interesting place names and rivers are noted. Very nice later color and a bright impression on a sheet with original margins. Issued folding, now pressed with some folds creased. The binding trim has been replaced, not affecting image. (+B) $140-200 86. Western Hemisphere (L’Amerique divisee en ses principaux Etats Assujettie aux Observations Astronomiqes), Janvier/Santini, Venice, ca. 1784. 25 x 18.3”. (HC) This large, handsome map of North and South America is an Italian edition of Janvier’s map. Its most striking feature is the huge Sea of the West, which extends out of the top border, and is connected by a series of rivers to Hudson Bay in the north and nearly connects to the Mississippi River in the south. The large decorative title cartouche shows a stream filled with unusual beaver dams and pine trees on one bank and palm trees on the other. Some light soil and creases in map with some minor holes and edge tears in blank margins, not affecting the map.. (+B) $500-600 87. Western Hemisphere (Carte d’Amerique, dressee pour l’Usage du Roi…), Delisle/Dezauche, Atlas Geographique des Quartes Parties du Monde, Paris, 1785. 23.5 x 18.5”. (HC) This is a later, updated edition of the important map that was first issued by Delisle in 1722. It was one of the most popular maps of the 18th Century. The new United States is noted extending to the Mississippi River, but the individual state boundaries are still shown on the Appalachian Mountains. Updates include

the completion of the western coast above California and changes to the interior topography including a number of spurious mountains ranges in the west, going east to west and north to south, and sometimes doing both within the same range. This edition has an inset of Cook’s explorations in the Pacific Northwest, but without the related key from the previous edition. The river systems in South America have been updated. The map was published in 1789, and still has the royal seal and crown on the top of the cartouche, which was removed after the establishment of the French Republic in 1792. Ref: Tooley (Amer) p. 15, #10. Bright impression and clean paper with finely applied hand color. There are a few spots in the ocean and a small area of paper damage in lower margin that has been expertly repaired. (A) $750-900 88. Western Hemisphere (America North and South and the West Indies; with the Atlantic, Aethiopic and Pacific Oceans: wherein are Distinguished, All the Discoveries lately made by the English and the Spaniards), Dunn, The General Atlas, London, 1786. 17.5 x 12”. (HC) This fine engraving was drawn by Samuel Dunn and “Printed for Robert Sayer” on June 10, 1786. It extends to include excellent detail of the Pacific islands, including all of New Zealand. In North America the Aleutian chain is simply called Alaska and the area of western Canada is largely empty with only a few names: Gross Sound, Mt. St. Elias, Port Bucarely, and a lake network in the extreme north. The mythical River of the West is a long dotted line that connects the Pacific with a river system below Lake Winnipeg. In the area of San Francisco Bay is Drake’s Harbor and the Dolores River. The Tortolas River freely runs across the Great Basin from a large unnamed lake in the area of present-day Montana. Some Indian tribes are located as well as some forts. Nice example on a large sheet of thick paper with wide margins and original outline color. A few foxing spots mostly in margins and a slight darkening along centerfold. (+B) $250-350 89. Western Hemisphere (Carte d’Amerique Dressee pour l’Instruction), Delisle/Dezauche, Paris, 1790. 24 x 18.5”. (HC) Dezauche, the successor to the Delisle cartographic firm, issued this edition of the famous Delisle map of the Americas (1722). The map has been extensively updated through numerous revisions. This one includes the information from Cook’s discoveries in the Northwest and Alaska in an inset “Supplement a la Partie Nord Ouest de l’Amerique d’apres les Decouvertes du Capitaine Cook.” The newly independent United States extends to the Mississippi River in the west and to Florida in the south. Garland style title cartouche and another cartouche containing an advertisement decorate the lower corners. In this edition the Privilege is changed from “du Roi” to “d’Auteur.” Due to the French Revolution the Royal arms were erased from the cartouche and replaced by ribbons, and the king’s name was removed from the title. Ref: Tooley (Amer) p.16, #13 Original hand coloring in outline and full, wide margins. One spot in Africa and a few in margins, otherwise fine example. (A) $500-600 90. Western Hemisphere (Amerique ou Nouveau Continent Dressee sur les Nouvelles Relations…), Nolin, Paris, 1811. 20.8 x 18”. (HC) Very handsome map of the Americas decorated with a large title cartouche depicting two Indians smoking a peace pipe and preparing smoke signals. The cartouche is embellished with huge flowering plants that conveniently obscure the northwest coast of North America. However, an inset at bottom completes the picture with the Delisle/Buache theories of an Northwest Passage. This is a later edition with the tracks of several recent explorations shown throughout the oceans. Panels of French text describe the various nations. Overall size with text on each side of map is 26 x 18”. Original outline color. Light soil in blank margins. (A) $1100-1300 91. Western Hemisphere (Charte von America nach Astronomischen Bestimmungen…), Gussefeld/Homann Heirs, Nuremberg, 1813. 17.5 x 22.5”. (HC) This uncommon German map of the Americas features unusual mountain ranges throughout both North and South America. The United States is depicted with its new acquisition of Louisiana Territory but is still confined east of the Rocky Mountains. The boundaries in the west, between Canada and Mexico, are not delineated and the unexplored regions are left blank. The West or Oregon River is shown with dotted lines indicating two possible entry points into the Pacific and another dotted line connecting it with the Mississippi River - forming the long sought navigable passage across North America. The Hawaiian Islands are shown as the Sandwich Inseln with phonetic spelling for the individual island names. Between Hawaii and California there is an erroneous group of islands with Spanish names. These islands were introduced on maps in the mid-18th century and were not corrected until the early 19th century. The South American continent is very well mapped and filled with detail. Nice impression and original color with only a couple minor spots in the map. There is some minor paper damage in wide blank margins, not affecting map. (+B) $500-600 92. Western Hemisphere (Carte Geographique, Statistique et Historique de l’Amerique), Buchon, Atlas Geographique, Statistique, Historique et Chronologique…, Paris, [1825]. 25.3 x 18”. (HC) Two maps on one sheet from the French edition of Carey & Lea’s atlas. The maps each measure 8” x 8” and include North America (Amerique Sept.) and South America (Amerique Merid.). They are on a large folio sheet surrounded by panels of French text. Beautifully engraved and colored. The United States is shown with the British claims into the Northwest down to the Columbia River, reflecting the 54-50 or Fight controversy. The states and organized territories are depicted with dotted lines (note the large Arkansas Territory). Mexico is in control of Texas and the present-day Southwest. Alaska is not fully shown and is a Russian Possession. On a sheet of thick paper with wide margins, fine impression and original color. A little light foxing at center below maps, two thin wavy lines below South America from a printing error. (+B) $150-200 93. Western Hemisphere (L’America Settentrionale e Meridionale Incisa dalla Fratelli Bordiga), Bordiga, Venice, ca. 1826. 29 x 20.5”. (HC) A very scarce Italian produced map that features fine engraved lines and an unusual projection. In North America, Alaska is fairly well formed and labeled Alaska in the western end of the Alaska Peninsula. Spain is in control of the entire Southwest including Texas and up to Luigiana (Louisiana Territory). The U.S. extends only to the Mississippi River. South America is well shown with all political divisions delineated. The map extends to part of Africa and Europe, and all of Great Britain. In the Pacific Ocean the map identifies the Sandwich Islands. Inset at lower right “Isola Della Martinica” and another at upper right “Isola de St. Domingo.” The title contains flourishes and some script. Eight distance scales are stacked at lower left. Crisp, dark impression and clean, bright paper. Repaired tear into upper right inset, with a small area of light impression in upper and lower right border. Close trimmed at right almost to neatline, apparently as issued. (+B) $250-350

North America 94. North America (L’America Settentrionale…), Rossi, Rome, 1677. 21.3 x 15.3”. (HC) This is the uncommon, first edition of Rossi’s fine map of North America, based on the seminal Sanson map of the region. As in the Sanson version, California is shown as an island on the Foxe model with two northern bays, and all five Great Lakes are shown, albeit with Superior and Michigan shown open-ended. There are many place names noted on California’s coast, including Pta de Monte Rey, Canal de S. Barbara, P. de S. Diego, and Catalina Island is named I. de S. Catalina. Several Indian tribes are identified in New Mexico where the R. del Norte (Rio Grande) mistakenly flows from an interior lake near Taos (Taosji) and empties into the Mar Vermeio o Mer Rosso (Gulf of California). The political divisions favor the French point of view, with Canada and Nuova Francia covering much of the eastern half of the continent. The Arctic cartography is typical for the period, with a large, triple island in Baffin Bay, and Greenland shown on Sanson’s three-island model. Ref: Burden #491; McLaughlin #65. Sharp impression with original outline color that is slightly faded. There are some expertly repaired worm tracks in the margins, with two tracks entering the map borders. The repairs are well-done and sound and do not distract from the map. (B) $2000-2400 95. North America (L’Amerique Septentrionale Dressee sur les Observations de Mrs. de l’Academie Royale des Sciences…), Delisle, Paris, 1700. 23.5 x 17.8”. (HC) This historically important foundation map made three significant contributions to the cartography of North America. It was the first map to revert back to the peninsular form for California, even before the publication of Kino’s report. Although on close inspection one can see a small gap at the head of the Gulf of California, leaving open the possibility that California might still be an island. Delisle’s second contribution to North American cartography was a more accurate rendition of the Great Lakes region. Third, Delisle corrected the position of the lower Mississippi River, moving the mouth of the river from an area near Galveston Bay to a more correct location in Louisiana. The imprint has Delisle’s address at Quai de l’Horloge, published circa 1708 (Tooley state #3, Carhart & Edney state #6). Ref: Carhart & Edney, Mercator’s World v. 6, #4, pp. 44-49; Tooley (Amer) p. 18, #30; Wheat [TMW] #79. There is an old repair on the bottom half of the centerfold and some minor damp stains in the top margin. (+B) $1600-1800 96. North America (L’Amerique Septentrionale Suivant les Nouvelles Observations…), Aa, Leiden, ca. 1705. 11.5 x 8.8”. (HC) A delicately engraved map of North America and the West Indies, based on Delisle’s important map of 1700. This map depicts an interesting version of California that is ambiguous about whether it is an island or not, as the Gulf of California is left open ended, and the Northwest coast is left blank. Neptune and two Native Americans flank the large title cartouche. The routes of the explorers Cortez, Drake and Olivier are shown in the Pacific. Crisp impression and very wide original margins. (+A) $700-800 97. North America (L’Amerique Septentrionale Dressee sur les Observations de Mrs. de l’Academie Royale des Sciences…), Delisle/Covens & Mortier, Amsterdam, ca. 1730. 22.5 x 17.5”. (HC) This is Pierre Mortier’s re-engraved version of Delisle’s foundation map of North America. It is nearly identical to the Delisle map, with California returned to its peninsular position rather than as an island. Cape Mendocin is the farthest northern point in California, and the north portion of the continent is left blank. The Great Lakes are well-defined, based on Coronelli, with French forts noted. The English settlements are confined east of the Alleghenies, and Span-

ish forts are clustered around Santa Fe. The Mississippi River valley is well developed with recent French settlements. The first mention of what would be called the Sargasso Sea is noted in the North Atlantic. The map is decorated with an aquatic-themed figural cartouche and a draped scale of miles. Ref: Tooley (Amer) p.19, #33; cf Wheat [TMW] #79. The original color is slightly faded. The centerfold, with a short tear, has been reinforced with Japanese tissue and some tears in the bottom margin and border have been repaired. (+B) $1200-1600 98. North America (Nova Orbis sive America Septentrionalis, divisa per sua Regna Provinc: et Insul), Seutter/Lotter, Augsburg, 1744. 10 x 7.5”. (HC) A superb small map with California as an island on the second Sanson model, showing two bays on the north end of the island. The island is also very narrow in the center, almost becoming two islands, a theory proposed by Father Luis Velarde. The map is densely covered with place names and the northern extremes are strangely elongated. Surrounded by Native Americans and birds, the large title cartouche in the entire upper left quarter conveniently obscures the northwest coast with the exception of a portion of the Terra Esonis incogn. Tobias Conrad Lotter’s strong engraving style is evident. This is the scarce first edition with the imprint “Jm Verlag bey I.M. Will Kunstv: in Agsburg” at bottom center below the neatline. Ref: McLaughlin #221; Tooley (Amer) pp. 133, #95 Great, early impression. Previously folding, now pressed. The margins are narrow, as issued and the imprints below border (Lotter & Seutter) at both corners are a little weak or smudged. (+B) $750-900 99. North America (Amerique Septentrionale, dressee sur les Relations plus modernes des Voyageurs et Navigateurs…), Robert de Vaugondy, Atlas Universel, Paris, 1750. 23 x 18.8”. (HC) This is the second state of this handsome map of the continent with additional place names in Canada and updates in the Great Lakes region. The colonial possessions are well defined and dotted borders show the French claims prior to 1763. There are numerous Indian names throughout the Mississippi River valley and the Spanish possessions in New Mexico, while the rest of the western region is largely blank. In the Pacific Northwest, the Entrée decouvert par Martin d’Aquilar alludes to a possible Northwest Passage. The large title cartouche is located in the upper left and features a river, Native Americans and a crocodile. There are two manuscript names written in brown ink on Nova Scotia. Ref: Pedley #448. Original outline color. There is an archival tape repair on a fold separation at bottom with minor tape stain on the verso. (B) $700-900 100. North America (Amerique Septentrionale Par le Sr. Robert de Vaugondy Avec Privilege), Robert de Vaugondy, Methode Abregee et facile pour apprendre la Geographie, Paris, 1750. 6 x 6”. (BW) The western part of North America is labeled Nle. Albion with Quivera above and Teguaio in the area of today’s Utah. The entire Northwest coast above Albion is blank and partially hidden by the square cartouche. There is an open-ended bay in Hudson Bay allowing for the possibility of the Northwest Passage. Apaches are correctly located in the Southwest, and Texas is named Cenis and is a part of Spanish Floride, which incongruently does not include Florida. The British Colonies are shown along the eastern seaboard, with the large French possessions of Louisiane to the west. Dated 1750, but probably published about 1775. This map carries page 496 rather than 482 so is from a later edition of the atlas. Ref: Pedley #447. (+A) $160-200 101. North America ([Lot of 4 North America]), ca. 1770-1850. x ”. 1) North America, Thomas Jefferys, c. 1770, (9 x 7”). This b&w map includes a curious representation of the Mississippi River, a triangular Florida with a north-south mountain range, and a fairly accurate delineation of the Great Lakes. The West is Parts Unknown and New Albion. The California coast is blank above C. Blanco, and the Great Fishing Bank is shown in the Atlantic. Native Americans grace the scenic title cartouche with a waterfall in the background. Some spots or stains in the Atlantic and a little below cartouche (B). 2) North America, Engraved by S. Stiles, published by Potter & Wilson, 1838, (10 x 8.5”). Fully hand colored, the map shows the U.S. claims in Oregon Territory to 54 N., which form a boundary with the Russian Possessions that include present-day Alaska. The Great Basin is fully mapped with numerous spurious features. (B+) 3) Map of North America to Accompany Smith’s Geography for Schools., Daniel Burgess, 1839, [c.1850], hand colored, (8.3 x 10.8”). This map shows the United States with a population of 17 million people. The map of the continent shows the results of the Mexican-American War with the United States stretching fully from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The new state of Texas is depicted with the stovepipe panhandle extending to the 42nd parallel. The entire western region is mostly unsettled with only a few place names, some spurious rivers, and the Great Salt Lake too far to the east. Alaska is a large blank area labeled Russian Possessions with the notation Unexplored Region. (B+) 4) No. 4 Map of North America Engraved to Illustrate Mitchell’s School and Family Geography, S. A. Mitchell, 1839 [c. 1850], hand colored, (8 x 10.3”). The map of the continent shows the results of the Mexican-American War with the United States stretching fully from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The new state of Texas is depicted with the stovepipe panhandle extending into present-day Colorado. Alaska is Russian America with the Aleutian Peninsula labeled Alaska. Canada is labeled both as British America and New Britain. There are numerous Indian tribes, major towns, good detail of major rivers, and a vague idea of the Rocky Mountains. The Great Basin is here called the Sandy Desert. (B+) $200-300 102. North America (Amerique Septentrionale), Bonne, Atlas de toutes les parties connues du Globe Terrestre…, Paris, ca. 1775. 12.5 x 8.2”. (HC) The entire western part of the continent is left mostly blank on this map of North America. Indian tribes occupy the edges of defined territory -- Apaches, Sioux, Outagamis, and Assenipouels. The British Colonies and a few major cities are named along the eastern seaboard and in the Great Lakes region. Alaska is shown as a group of islands, the largest of which is labeled Alaschka. Information and place names fill Mexico and the Caribbean. Ref: Seller & Van Ee #170. (+A) $150-200 103. North America (A New & Accurate Map of North America; with the New Discovered Islands on the North East Coast of Asia), Bowen, Bankes’s New System of Geography, London, ca. 1787. 17 x 10.3”. (BW) The discoveries of Captain Cook are the focus of this map of North America. Alaska is fairly well formed although much of the Aleutian Island chain is depicted as a peninsula. The northeast coast of Asia with a well formed Kamtschatka Peninsula is also depicted. On the continent, the political divisions are delineated by dotted lines and numerous Indian nations are located. The interior of Canada is still marked as Parts Unknown. Although there is no engraver’s signature, Thomas Bowen is known to have prepared the maps for Bankes’s New System of Geography. Issued folding, now flattened with some creasing and a few spots of foxing. Pencil notations in the blank margins and remnants of paper mounting hinges on verso. There is a tissue repair on a fold intersection. (B) $150-200 104. North America (A New Map of North America from the Latest Authorities), Cary, London, 1806. 20.3 x 18.1”. (HC) This great map describes the limited knowledge of the American West just prior to the publication of the findings from the expedition of Lewis & Clark. The United States is confined to the region east of the Mississippi River excluding eastern Florida. The west is shown mostly empty with ill-defined political boundaries, and the Rockies named the Stony Mountains. Western Canada is well developed from information gleaned from fur-traders and the Mackenzie expedition. The course of the Missouri River ends at the Pawnee village near “Villages of the tall Indians and Mandans.” This is certainly one of the more interesting pre-Lewis & Clark maps, guessing at the supposed course of the Missouri above the Mandan Villages. There is remarkable detail along the coast of Alaska and British Columbia with the Icy Sea to the north in today’s Beaufort Sea. Spectacular example that would be graded fine except for the expert repair to a small section in lower margin at centerfold. (A) $700-800 105. North America (America Settentrionale), Borghi, Atlante Generale, Florence, 1819. 12 x 9”. (HC) A remarkable example of scarce Florentine map production that is finely engraved, delicately colored and detailed. The United States is shown extending to the Pacific and well into British America, here called Nuovo Hannovre. Mexico is in control of the entire Southwest including Texas, which is named and Santa Fe is located. An enlarged Florida has indistinct borders. Details include watershed, major cities, Indian tribes, lakes, rivers, mountains, settlements etc. Fine, beautiful impression and original outline coloring on a sheet with very wide margins. Some nearly invisibly spots otherwise fine. (A) $325-450 106. North America (Carte de l’Amerique Septentrionale Dressee pour l’Intelligence de l’Histoire Generale des Voyages de Laharpe), Tardieu, Paris, 1821. 21.5 x 16”. (HC) This is an interesting early 19th century map with good detail throughout and early territorial configurations. Just west of the Mississippi River are the districts of Howard, Girardeau, Lawrence, and Arkansas. These are remnants of French and Spanish divisions in what is present-day Missouri and Arkansas. The United States and Canadian boundary follows the U.S. claims into present-day British Columbia and Mexico controls all of California and the Southwest. The map is filled with place names, Small holes on the upper centerfold and in the top margin have been neatly filled, with no loss of engraving. (+B) $475-550 107. North America (Carte d’Assemblage de l’Amerique Septenle.), Vandermaelen, Atlas Universel, Brussels, [1825]. 24 x 19.3”. (HC) This is the index map of North America to Vandermaelen’s monumental Atlas Universel. Vandermaelen’s maps of the American West are a landmark in the history of cartography and this key sheet presents the major topographical features along with the locations of major Indian tribes. Alaska is shown in an inset. The maps in this atlas were all presented on a uniform scale (1: 1,641,836), and each map covered an area of approximately 20 degrees longitude (from Paris) and 6 degrees of latitude. The maps were meant to be joined together to form a huge globe measuring 7.775 meters in diameter. It was also considered to be the first lithographic atlas ever published. Only one edition of the atlas was published in 1825-27, and the subscription list shows that just 810 copies were sold; thus the maps are very scarce on the market today, more so in original color. Ref: Phillips (A) #749 The map image is fine with a dark, early impression and fine original color. The very wide margins have a few short edge tears most expertly closed on verso with tissue. (A) $190-240

108. North America, Texas (Amerique Septentrionale), Duvotenay, Atlas Universel Geographie, ca. 1840. 14 x 20.5”. (HC) This detailed map features the Independent Republic of Texas. In Texas the only towns named are S. Antonio de Bejar, Ming, S. Felippe de Austin, and Nacodoches. The unique feature of this map is the use of orange overprinting to label some towns and to delineate the extensive wagon road network. This French map portrays the United States extending well into British Columbia, cartographically taking the side of the United States as the French normally did at this time in history. Alaska is Amerique Russe and all of Canada is Nouvelle Bretagne. Mexico controls the Southwest up to the District de Oregon. The map has good detail throughout including Indian names, watershed, railroads, forts, roads, etc. Fancy titling with flourishes, ruled border and four distance scales embellish the map. We find no references or prior pricing records for this map. Fine original outline color. A spot or smudge at lower left and some manuscript ink notations in Alaska, otherwise very good. (+B) $190-240 109. North America (Amerique Septentrionale), Levasseur, Atlas Universel Illustre, Paris, ca. 1845. 16.8 x 11”. (HC) This richly engraved map shows the United States extending into present-day Canada up to the 55 latitude line and Russia in control of Alaska. The Republic of Texas is outlined, and Mexico’s northern border is drawn according to the Treaty of 1819 (here misprinted as 1810). It is surrounded by beautifully engraved scenes of North and Central America including wildlife, a ship stranded in the polar sea and a Mayan temple. Original outline color with a few short tears in the blank margins. Hinge remnants on verso. (A)$250-300 110. North America (Carte Generale de l’Amerique du Nord et des Iles qui en Dependent), Dufour, Paris, ca. 1850. 20 x 12.5”. (HC) Interesting map that shows the pre-Gadsden Purchase boundary with Mexico and great western territorial borders. The west is composed of only California and the oversized territories of Utah, New Mexico, Oregon and the NW Territory. Alaska is Russian Territory. A very fine example of Dufour’s work with title in fancy script beautifully engraved by Desbuissoins. Folding as issued. A couple of spots in the blank Pacific and a short binding trim tear closed on verso. (+B) $160-200 111. North America, Texas (North America [manuscript map]), 1850. 9.5 x 6”. (HC) This is a delightful manuscript map showing the political divisions in North America circa 1840, rather than the date on the map of 1850. Texas is shown as an independent republic. The United States includes its claims into British Columbia. The only place names appear in Canada, indicating Canadian origins. Signed by Arthur Nightingale, March 2, 1850. Preparation of manuscript maps was a typical early 19th century classroom exercise. These classroom maps are found in several public map collections. But they are quite rare due to their ephemeral nature. (A) $150-200 112. North America (North America), Ettling, Weekly Dispatch Atlas, London, ca. 1863. 17.3 x 25”. (HC) This great map shows early territorial borders in the west. Arizona is shown twice; once along the boundary with Mexico (in the configuration known as the Confederate Territory of Arizona), and also in its correct configuration to the west of New Mexico Territory. Idaho is in its early configuration as a large rectangular-shaped territory taking up present-day Montana and Wyoming. The map is finely engraved showing major towns and settlements, state boundaries, watershed, forts and Indian tribes. These maps were published in the serial Weekly Dispatch Atlas for later binding into a world atlas, and examples still folding and unbound are uncommon. Published by Cassell, Petter & Galpin, la Belle Sauvage Yard, Ludgate Hill. Printed on the “Steam Litho” machines of Maclure, McDonald & Macgregor, London. Fine impression, original color and original margins which are close at top and bottom, and on binding side. Binding trim at right, as issued. (A) $180-220 113. North America (Amerique du Nord), Dufour/Andriveau-Goujon, Paris, 1865. 24.5 x 35.5”. (HC) This large, handsome map of North America provides considerably more detail than most continental maps, including state and territory boundaries, towns, roads, forts, Indian tribes, railroads, and sea lanes. The western United States is comprised of the state of California and the large territories of Washington, Oregon, Utah and New Mexico, and the plains region is labeled as the districts of the Mandan and Osage Indians. A large inset map details Alaska and the Aleutian Islands. Original color with a great color key at bottom. There is an old paper repair on a minor marginal fold separation. (A) $400-475 114. North America (Amerique Septentrionale), Meissas, Paris, 1870. 19.3 x 14.5”. (HC) This delicately engraved map shows political divisions circa 1860-63 despite the map’s date of 1870. Nevada encroaches on California to the Sierra Nevada range from about Lake Tahoe southward reminiscent of Johnson’s map of the Southwest circa 1861. Arizona still has the wedge shaped northwestern boundary to include southern Nevada and Las Vegas. Utah is oversized with its boundary with Nevada a full degree further west. Wyoming is in an early configuration with its northwest corner following the Continental Divide. The large Dakota Territory is shown and Oklahoma is Indian Territory. Insets of the islands of Guadalupe and Martinique are at lower left. Engraved by Moisy. Fine original outline color with a wide pallet of colors and with full, wide margins. A few very light foxing areas in map. Split in lower centerfold just to border, closed on verso. (+B) $130-160 115. North America (Map Illustrating the Extermination of the American Bison Prepared by W.T. Hornaday), Smithsonian Institute, The Extermination of the American Bison...Its Discovery and Life History, Washington D.C., [1889]. 17.4 x 22”. (PC) This map poignantly illustrates one of the most tragic episodes in American history; the extermination of the buffalo as a means to control the Native American population. The area once inhabited by buffalo is outlined in red with green and blue regions describing the systematic destruction of these herds. When this map was published in 1889, barely 800 bison were known to exist. This is the historically important map by W.T. Hornaday that was published in the Annual Report of the Board of Regents of the Smithsonian Institution for the Year Ending 1887, Part II, 1889. There is some toning along a fold and a short binding trim tear (1/2” into border), closed on verso with archival tape. Also a short split at top along fold, closed on verso. (+B) $200-300 116.

Angliae, Carolinae, Virginiae, et Pensylvaniae nec non Insularum Archipelagi Mexicani in America Septentrionali Accurata Tabula…), Homann, Nuremberg, ca. 1720. 22.5 x 18.5”. (HC) A superb map covering the region from the Great Lakes and Nova Scotia through Central America, the Caribbean and Venezuela, and from New Mexico (naming Taos and Santa Fe) to the eastern seaboard. The map is based largely on Delisle’s map of 1703 (Carte du Mexique et de la Floride). The British colonies are shown confined east of the Appalachians. The map itself is filled with settlement place names, Indian tribes and villages. Sea routes from Vera Cruz and Cartagena to Havana and Spain are outlined. It is richly embellished with a fine title cartouche depicting two native figures and symbols of America’s natural resources. In the Atlantic, there is a large scene of extensive gold mining operations with Indians bringing their treasures to fill the European’s chest. Off the Pacific coast of Mexico is yet another opulent engraving of a raging sea battle. Ref: Van Ermen p.42; cf Cumming (SE) #137; Manasek #72; Martin & Martin plt.17. Sharp impression and original color with minor toning on centerfold and a few spots. The lower centerfold has a professionally repaired separation, and there is an old repair on a 1/2” tear into the Lesser Antilles. (B) $1500-1800 117. Colonial North America and West Indies (A Map of the British Empire in America with the French and Spanish Settlements adjacent thereto), Popple, London, ca. 1734. x ”. (HC) This is one of the most important colonial maps of North America. Bound in the original atlas format with marbled paper covers, this extremely rare, large-scale map is printed on 20 folio sheets. The map covers the eastern part of North America from Hudson Bay, through the Caribbean, to the northern coast of South America. Each sheet is beautifully engraved, intensively detailed and adorned with fleets of ships, several vignettes, and inset plans. The richly embellished title cartouche features Native Americans and colonial merchants representing the wealth of the region. This is the fifth state according to Pritchard &Taliaferro (6th according to Babinski). The sheets (15 double-page & five single-page) are numbered in the upper right corner. Included is state 1 of “The Contents of each Sheet of the Twenty Plates of Mr. Popple’s Map of America,” which is a loose leaf ( 8 x 10”) inserted in the atlas. The key map is NOT present, and does not appear to have been included. If the sheets were assembled the map would measure approximately 95 x 100”. The map is in full original color with green distinguishing Indian lands, red for British possessions, yellow for Spanish colonies, blue for French claims, and purple for the Dutch. The political use of color is very evident with blue sparingly used and limited to a narrow strip along the Mississippi River, the north bank of the St. Lawrence River, St. John’s Island, Cape Breton Islands and Anticoste Island on the continent, and a few islands in the West Indies. The coloring also illuminates some disputed boundaries such as a red (British) line drawn across the northern part of Florida placing the southern boundary of South Carolina well into Spanish territory, and a British colony shown on the Bay of Campeche noted as Logwood Creeks, which in reality had been controlled by the Spanish since 1722. The need for a comprehensive map of the British possessions in North America and the West Indies became more apparent as tensions grew between the colonial powers in the early part of the eighteenth century. The Board of Trade and Plantations, for which three generations of the Popple family had served, encouraged the production of a map to delineate the interior of the continent and substantiate British territorial claims. The compilation and production of the map required a remarkable about of preparation. Popple gathered the information from a variety of sources including previously published and manuscript maps, as well as firsthand information from the Board of Trade and Plantations and colonial settlers. The map was designed by Clement Lempriere and engraved by William Henry Toms, Bernard Baron and Richard William Seale. It was initially published by Popple in 1733 at an extremely high price (4 Guineas) and did not gain popularity until the outbreak of the War of Jenkins’ Ear in 1739, when it was republished by Toms and Harding at a greatly reduced price. The map became immensely influential throughout Europe and America and was copied by several cartographers in smaller format. George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and John Adams were among the important revolutionary leaders who owned Popple’s map. Today, institutions own most of the surviving examples and it rarely appears on the market. It is truly a significant piece of Americana and a quintessential centerpiece of any serious collection of North American maps. Ref: Babinski (http://usm.maine.edu/maps/popple); Cumming (SE)

Colonial North America and West Indies (Amerique Septentrionale Publiee sous les Auspices de Monseigneur le Duc d’Orleans … [on two sheets]), Anville, Paris, 1746. 33.5 x 17.3”. (HC) First state of this striking map of North America and the West Indies. It is one of the best French maps of North America prior to the French & Indian War. D’Anville was the Royal Geographer and Cartographer to the King of France. He followed Delisle as the chief proponent of scientific cartography, and his influence on his contemporaries was profound. Because he had direct access to the many official French records of North America his maps are known for their excellent detail and clearly presented information. This map provides good information in New Mexico and the Mississippi and Missouri River Valleys. A remnant of Lahontan’s fabled Grande Rivier is retained west of Lac du Bois. The region of the Ohio River Valley and below the Great Lakes reflects the superior knowledge of the French in these regions. The newly formed colony of Georgia appears squeezed between South Carolina and the Spanish claims to Florida. The map names Tecas and includes a notation on the Texas coast concerning Port Francois referring to La Harpe’s expedition. Many place names, Indian tribes, and forts are located. At upper left is an inset of Hudson and Baffin Bays. Map engraved by Guillame Delahaye, decorative cartouche drawn by Graevlot and engraved by Major. Printed on four sheets, (joined as two pairs of horizontal sheets) as issued. Ref: Karpinski (MI) p. 138; Lowery #381; Tooley (Am) pp. 316-17.

Colonial North America and West Indies (Carte Generale des Colonies Angloises, dans l’Amerique Septentrionale, par M. Phelippeaux….), Phelipeaux/Brion de la Tour, Paris, 1778. 30 x 21.5”. (HC) This is the second edition of a rare map issued when the Treaty of Alliance between France and the United States brought heightened awareness of the American Revolution to the French public. The map was first issued in 1777 with the title, Carte Detaillee des Possessions Angloises dans l’Amerique Septentrionale. The geography remains the same, covering the eastern half of North America from Hudson Bay to the Gulf of Mexico and includes an inset of southern Florida, the Bahamas, and the Greater Antilles. Based on the great Mitchell map of 1755, it presents very good detail of the colonies, cities and towns, forts, roads, Indian villages and tribal territory, and along the coastlines it depicts shoals and banks. Georgia is oddly shaped and incorporates much of presentday northern Florida. North Carolina and Virginia are shown with their boundaries extending west off the map. The information regarding the Indian territories and trading paths west of the Appalachian Mountains is excellent. A military scene with cannons and banners forms the title cartouche. Published by Esnauts and Rapilly. All editions are very rarely seen on the market. Ref: McCorkle #778.12; Sellers & Van Ee #151. The top and bottom margins have been trimmed into the neatline and there are professional minor repairs on the centerfold. (B) $4000-6000 120. Colonial North America and West Indies (Nova Mappa Geographica Americae Septentrionalis in suas praecipuas Partes divisa), Probst, Paris, 1782. 19 x 19.5”. (HC) This is a variant of the key map of Henry Popple’s seminal map of North America, first published in 1733. This edition contains a geographical difference from the British original - Lake Champlain has two branches on the south end instead of one. The thirteen British colonies are clearly delineated, just one year before the formal peace treaty between the United States and Britain. At right is a column of inset maps including Boston, New York, Charlestown, St. Augustine, Bermuda and several others. The Spanish galleons’ route from Vera Cruz to Havana is marked. The pictorial cartouche features Native Americans. The French title above the map is “Amerique Septentrionale Suivant la Carte de Pople…” This is the second state with Longitudes a l’Isle de Fer in the border at lower right (instead of de Londres in the first state).

(HC) This scarce Austrian map depicts the United States after the Louisiana Purchase. The newly acquired region includes Fort Natchitoches, Fort St. Louis, and the Grosse Meadows Nation. One of the most interesting features on the map is the region labeled Tennessee et Kentucket, with Tennessee above Kentucky on the western side of the Ohio River! The map also has spurious topography with an elaborate east-west mountain range stretching across the plains. The Gulf Stream is noted in the Atlantic. A color-key distinguishes the colonial possessions in the West Indies and the portion of northern South America that appears on the map. Original outline color. There are some pencil notations in the blank margins. (A) $200-275

Canada 122. Canada (Extrema Americae Versus Boream, ubi Terra Nova Nova Francia, Adjacentiaq), Blaeu, Amsterdam, ca. 1670. 22.2 x 17.6”. (HC) This handsome map of the Canadian Maritimes is based on Samuel de Champlain’s great map of 1632, and augmented with place names from De Laet and Jansson. This is Blaeu’s only map of Canada. It shows Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Labrador and the Davis and Hudson Straits as well as the southern tip of Greenland and a portion of northern Maine. The elaborate cartouches symbolize the importance of the Grand Banks fisheries, which are boldly engraved on the map. Blank verso, indicating either a separate publication by Blaeu or publication subsequent to the destruction of the Blaeu printing house in 1672. The map appears in only a few of Blaeu’s Atlas Maior after 1662 and is thus very uncommon. Ref: Burden #371; Goss (Blaeu) p. 158; Kershaw #149. Fine impression and lovely original color with some very faint offsetting. There is some minor oxidation of the color, with a small hole in the map, which has been professionally in-filled and reinforced with tissue on verso. (+B) $1900-2200 123.

Canada & United States 128. Colonial United States & Canada (Nova Anglia Novum Belgium et Virginia), Jansson, Appendix Novi Atlantis, Amsterdam, [1637]. 20 x 15.3”. (HC) This is the first state of Jansson’s influential map of the eastern coast of North America covering from just south of Cape Fear to Nova Scotia. The map is based on the less well-known map of Johannes de Laet of 1630, but covers a slightly larger area. The map includes part of the Great Lakes, labeled Grand Lac and Lac des Yroquois, an unnamed Lake Champlain, and a fictitious lake at the headwaters of the Delaware River. According to Karpinski, this “is the first printed complete map of Lake Superior” although there is no evidence to support that and Grand Lac is more likely Lake Huron. The map is adorned with two decorative cartouches, ships, sea monsters and compass roses. Latin text on verso. Ref: Burden #247; Cumming (SE) #39; Karpinski, p. 26, p. 31, & plt. II; McCorkle #636.2.

Colonial United States and Canada (Carte de la Nouvelle France, ou se voit le cours des Grandes Rivieres de S. Laurens & de Mississippi), Chatelain, Atlas Historique, Amsterdam, ca. 1719. 21.5 x 18”. (HC) Derived from Nicholas de Fer’s important four-sheet map of 1718, this is the most informative map of the French possessions in North America in the early 18th century. Louisiana and the Mississippi Valley are based on Delisle’s manuscript map of 1701, while the geography of New England and eastern Canada originates with Franquelin. Inset at top left is a large-scale map of the Mississippi Delta and Mobile Bay, based on the voyage of Pierre LeMoyne. Another inset plan and view of Quebec is enclosed in a very decorative cartouche at bottom right. The map is filled with wildlife, scenes of Indians hunting, Indian villages and notations, and the oceans are embellished with numerous ships, canoes and sea monsters. It was issued to promote the recently established Compagnie Francoise Occident, which was formed to fund the debt of Louix XIV and offered inducements to encourage settlement in Louisiana. Ref: Verner and Stuart-Stubbs #11; Kershaw #332; McCorkle #719.4. Original color with some toning. The map has been professionally remargined using the leaf-casting method and is backed with tissue to reinforce some cracks from oxidation of the green color. (B) $1600-1800 130.

(HC) This richly detailed map, copied from Delisle, provides the most accurate rendering of the Great Lakes of the time, with the lakes fully enclosed and properly placed in longitude and latitude. The map is largely based on the reports of Lahontan, Louis Hennepin, Jean Franquelin and Louis Jolliet. It depicts the Riviere Longue stretching westward with a notation concerning the possibility of a passage to the Pacific. Large French text inset “Remarque Historique” tells the story of the discovery of Canada by fishermen from Brittany who were shipwrecked in 1504. The expeditions of Verazzano and Cabot are also mentioned. Ref: Kershaw #334; Phillips (A) #548. Crisp impression, original color and full margins.

Colonial United States and Canada (Amplissimae Regionis Mississipi seu Provinciae Ludovicianae), Homann, Nuremberg, ca. 1730. 22.8 x 19.3”. (HC) A striking map based on Delisle’s landmark map of 1718, but covering a slightly larger area. It focuses on the Mississippi River Valley interior and Great Lakes, also detailing the Gulf Coast region, where the Mission de los Teyas is noted in present-day Texas. The map is splendidly adorned by vignettes of a buffalo and Native Americans in a cartouche filling the Atlantic, and a beaver colony at Niagara Falls under the title cartouche at upper left. Also depicted in the title cartouche is Father Louis Hennepin who explored the Great Lakes region and claimed to have reached the mouth of the Mississippi. The routes of Hennepin, de Soto and other explorers are traced in the map. Ref: cf Cumming (SE) #170; Goss (NA) #49.

(HC) Superb map of the Great Lakes region illustrating strategic forts and the area claimed by the French just prior to the French and Indian War. Bellin’s map, first published in 1744, dominated the cartography of the Great Lakes region for many years. It presented the first new material pertaining to New France since the maps of Guillaume Delisle three decades earlier. While this map summarizes the latest in French knowledge of the region, it is also notable for two cartographic myths; the mountain range in Michigan and the appearance of four fictitious islands in Lake Superior, including the infamous I Philippeaux Aut. I Minang that continued to appear on maps and eluded explorers’ searches for it, well into the 19th century. The map locates French forts, missions, new settlements, Indian villages and includes an early appearance of Chicago, R. et Port de Checagou. This version was published by Homann Heirs. Ref: Karpinski (MI) p.138; Kershaw #950; Schwartz & Ehrenberg plt. 97; Sellers & Van Ee #19. Overall very good, with just a hint of toning in the map and a couple light spots in the blank margins.

(BW) This is an excellent French & Indian War period map depicting the five Great Lakes. While this map uses the same title as Bellin’s prototype map of the Great Lakes, published in Charlevoix’s Histoire et Description Generale de la Nouvelle France in 1744, it has been updated with information from Bellin’s similar map of 1755. Lakes Erie and Ontario are more accurately defined and the spurious islands in Lake Huron have been eliminated. However, several large, bogus islands still remain in Lake Superior, including I. Minong (called I. Philippeaux on some issues) and I. Pontchartrain. The Michigan peninsula is still misshapen with a massive mountain range down its center. Numerous forts are located: S. Jgnace, Niagara, des Miamis, and Toronto to mention a few. The ornate rococo title cartouche is draped with ivy. Ref: Kershaw #953; Tooley (MCC-96) #871; Portinaro & Knirsch, pl. 243.

138. Colonial United States and Canada (A Particular Map, to Illustrate Gen. Amherst’s Expedition, to Montreal; with a Plan of the Town & Draught of ye Island), Gibson, Gentleman’s Magazine, London, [1760]. 9 x 7”. (BW) After the fall of Quebec, Montreal was the sole remaining French power center in Canada. The British General, Jeffery Amherst, occupied Fort Ticonderoga and Crown Point in the fall of 1759. He began a three-pronged offensive converging on Montreal the following spring. When Vaudreuil de Cavagnal surrendered on September 8, 1760, this ended the last major campaign of the French and Indian War. This map shows the St. Lawrence River from Quebec City to the Great Falls of Niagara 140 ft and east to include the Hudson River, Albany and Lake Champlain. Details include several forts, Drowned Lands, and Indian tribes. An inset at lower right shows the environs of Montreal Island. At upper left, a plan of the walled city of Montreal portrays individual buildings and has an index of 16 important features including the Arsenal, hospital, the Governor’s Palace, and the gardens of Mons Beausou and de Quain.

(BW) These two rare maps are still bound in the original Premiere Suite des Memoires de mathematique et de Physique… Tome Second by Jean Ttienne Guettard. The first map represents Guettard’s efforts to create the first geological map of North America. Drawn by Philippe Buache, the map has an ambitious legend identifying an amazing 39 different geological formations and types. The map also has interest for its inclusion of the cartographic curiosity Mer de l’Ouest (Sea of the West) that is shown as occupying part of western Canada. This imaginary feature appeared in a series of Buache’s maps of North America and its derivatives, each showing the sea shrinking in size and prominence as continuing exploration failed to prove its existence. The inset map at lower left notes eight places containing fossils. The second map is “Carte Mineralogique de la Suisse par Philippe Buache pour servir aux recherches et pour un Memoire de Mr. Guettard en 1572”, (13 x 9.5”), uncolored. This map, also drawn by Buache, is the first geological map of Switzerland. It extends from Geneva in the southwest to Constance in the northeast. It identifies even more categories of geological formations than the map of North America, over fifty by our count. The book (4” x 6.5’”) also has four engraved plates depicting fossils including a fish and the tooth of a Mastodon. This volume is the 1761 Amsterdam reprint by Jean Etienne Guettard, J. Schreuder and Pierre Mortier. The first edition was published from Paris in 1756. Volume 2 (of 3) pp. 176 to 595. Original brown marbled paper covered boards with leather spine, gilt title and raised bands. Red page edges, marbled endpapers. This rare volume is complete with all plates and both maps as issued. It represents a pioneering effort in early geology. Ref: 1) Marcou No. 24 The first map has overall foxing (B), the latter is very good (A).

Colonial United States and Canada (A New Map of North America from the Latest Discoveries), Spilsbury, Smollett’s Continuation of the Complete History of England, London, 1761. 14.75 x 10.9”. (BW) A fine map noting the colonial possessions in North America eastward from Texas to the Atlantic coast. It shows early settlements, forts, Indian villages and tribal territory. The colonies have boundaries extending past the map’s western border. Various treaty and charter boundaries are shown. Earl Granville’s Property stretches from the Atlantic west to beyond the Mississippi River. In Florida, a line from Fort St. George to St. Mark delineates the Limits Stipulated in 1738 and below, nearly to Cape Canaveral, are the Bounds of Carolina by Charter of 1665. The fishing banks off Canada are prominently outlined. The map is enhanced by a delicate title cartouche and fancy compass rose. This is the uncommon first state, not the 1763 edition from the London Magazine. Ref: McCorkle #761-3; Sellers & Van Ee #89. Issued folding, now flattened. A little very light toning or offsetting visible in blank areas. Short (1/2”) tear at binding trim just enters map, closed on verso. (+B) $250-350 141.

(BW) Covering from Labrador to Florida and west to the Mississippi, this important, historical map details the land settlement that ended the French & Indian War. The map graphically depicts “The Countries shaded with lines are those formerly claimed or possessed by France and Spain and are now absolutely ceded & guaranted [sic] to Great Britain.” This long and complex war resulted in Britain gaining New France, the eastern Mississippi basin and Florida. Spain gained New Orleans and retained its Caribbean islands. France also retained its Caribbean islands and Havana. The preliminary treaty illustrated by this map was ratified the following year in the Treaty of Paris. The colonies of Virginia and Carolina are here shown with their western boundaries to the Mississippi River. The Six Nations’ boundary extends west to occupy the Great Lakes region. A large inset “Chart of the Entrance of the Mississippi” provides a detailed view of the delta region and the vicinity of New Orleans. Ref: Jolly GENT-165; McCorkle #762.1; Seller & Van Ee #92.

(HC) This finely engraved pair of pre-Revolutionary War maps delineates the Eastern parts of North America in the years leading up to the war. The first sheet contains the decorative title cartouche, and it covers eastern Canada and Greenland from the bottom of Hudson Bay, northward beyond the Arctic Circle to about 70 deg. N. Latitude. It includes an interesting depiction of a passage between Lake Winnipeg and Hudson Bay alluding to a possible passage to the Pacific. The second map covers French Louisiane and the British Colonies with their western boundaries indistinctly shown. Later editions of this map show the borders to the Mississippi River. Texas is Pars des Cenis. Many early place names, forts and Indian villages are identified. There is an early mention of les Kansez in the area of Kansas City. Five distance scales at lower right. Ref: Kershaw #474; McCorkle #771.2. Very nice examples with fine, dark impression and nice hand coloring on thick hand laid paper with wide margins.

(HC) This handsome map was issued shortly before the outbreak of the American Revolution and was included in Lotter’s Atlas geographique and composite atlases throughout the conflict. The map covers the region from James Bay through Newfoundland in the north and to the northern part of Florida in the south. It reflects German interests in America with numerous cities and towns, forts, trails, Indian villages and tribal territories. The colonial borders are quite inaccurate, as is common with a number of German maps of the period. The large and ornate cartouche incorporates the British coat of arms and names the thirteen colonies. Ref: McCorkle #776.19; Sellers & Van Ee #141. Trimmed into borders at left and bottom with a very narrow margin at top. Otherwise very good with attractive original color. (+C) $800-900 144.

(HC) This is the Revolutionary War issue of Homann’s map that was originally published during the French and Indian War in 1756 after Jeffery’s map from the previous year. This edition includes several alterations and updates plus the line “et ad bellum praesentis temporis accomodata” added to the imprint. It shows the area from James Bay and Newfoundland in the north to northern Florida and the Gulf coast in the south. It shows the British and French possessions during the first full year of the war. The western extent of the map is just west of the Mississippi River, this area is called Mississippi or Louisiana. The boundaries, shown with dotted lines, of Virginia, and North Carolina extend westward off the map. The boundary of New York still appears to cross Lakes Ontario, Huron and Erie to include the lower peninsula of Michigan, but the western extent is not clearly delineated. There is an early Georgia, with its boundary also on the Mississippi. The map is embellished with a large title cartouche. The extensive German text at upper left and lower right describes the British claims and French encroachments with historical context. Ref: McCorkle #756.1; Sellers & Van Ee #68.

(HC) This handsome map covers the newly created United States and extends to take in much of the Louisiana Territory and part of New Mexico. It also extends to show parts of eastern Canada and the Bahamas. Detail along the Rio del Norte includes Taos and Santa Fe. It identifies many Indian villages and tribal territory. There are extensive notes throughout regarding early explorers such as De Soto and La Salle, Indian nations, forts and other points of early interest. One of the most intriguing features of the map is the text block, which lists the original 13 states with their capitals and also ten new states proposed in the Jeffersonian Ordinance of 1784 - Silvania, Michigania, Chersonesus, Arsenistpia, Metropotamia, Illinoia, Saratoga, Washington, Polypotamia, and Pelisypia. This is the first reference on any map to Michigan as applying to a land division of the United States. The title cartouche has a nautical theme. Ref: Karpinski (MI) #CIII; McCorkle #785.5; Seller & Van Ee 187. Some light surface soil and extraneous creases, else very good. The margins have been trimmed, but are still more than adequate, and there is some old tape stain of the verso edges, not affecting the map. (+B) $950-1200 146.

(HC) This interesting map began life in 1755 with the title Canada et Louisiane to illustrate the hostilities in the French and

Indian War. It was then revised in 1777 and re-titled Theatre de la Guerre en Amerique to illustrate the Revolutionary War. Finally it was re-titled again (this map) and issued in the 1787 edition of Francois Soules’ history of the American Revolution. The map covers the eastern seaboard from northern Florida to the Gulf of St. Laurence, and inland to Lake Michigan and James Bay. Large insets delineate the Gulf Coast and the Mississippi River valley, and a small vignette of Niagara Falls. The map is filled with information on cities, towns, forts, trails, Indian villages, tribal territory and battlegrounds (of both the French and Indian War and the Revolutionary War).

(BW) This map (11.8 x 8.3”) is centered on the Great Lakes and covers the region form Hudson Bay to the upper Mississippi River and the mouth of the St. Laurence River. It provides information on Indian villages and forts. The map is bound in the French edition of John Long’s journal, which describes the manners and customs of the North American Indians. First French edition, with a 20-page introduction by the French translator, as well as notes and additions to the original text, published in 1794. Bound in original, paper covered boards with leather, gold embossed, spine. John Long came to Canada in 1768, worked in Montreal and on the Caughnawaga mission. He traveled and traded throughout the Upper Country and the territory of the Hudson Bay Company and fought with the pro-British Indians in the American Revolutionary War. His journal is a graphic record of Indian life and customs and of the conditions in the fur trade. Ref: Howes L443.

(HC) This is a great map filled with detail, Indian tribes, forts and other political and geographical information. It covers primarily the United States, but extends to include a good portion of Canada; the western parts of which are largely still the domain of several Indian nations. The United States’ claims in the Pacific Northwest are shown with the District de la Columbia extending well into present-day British Columbia. The cartography in the west is primarily taken from the explorations of Lewis and Clark. Missouri Territory occupies all of the Midwest. Arkansas Territory is shown at its largest extent even though by the time of this publication it had already assumed its final borders. Two large lakes in today’s Utah drain via rivers to the Pacific, as defined by dotted lines. The Colorado River ends in the desert east of San Diego. This interesting map was published by Colonel Pierre Lapie (1777-1850) and his son Alexandre Emile, who was the Royal Geographer to the King in Paris. The map was engraved by Lallemand. Lapie’s embossed atlas stamp is to the right of the title in an unengraved area of the map. There is a short tear in the top margin that is closed with archival tape and is well away from the map.

This example has a backstrap along the fold, so it was obviously issued in an atlas rather than separately. The map stretches from Russians Settlements (Alaska) to Iceland, and south into the northern reaches of the United States. Banks Lands is a vague, tiny sliver of land below the North Georgian Islands, also not fully delineated. Near Point Barrow is the notation “Point reach’d by the Blossom” and further east is the point reached by a boat from the Blossom. In 1825-1828 Captain Beechey’s expedition to the Pacific Ocean reaching as far north as Point Barrow, the furthest point into the Arctic of any non-Inuit at the time.

Western Canada and United States (Map of the Oregon Territory from the Best Authorities), Wilkes, Astoria or Anecdotes of an Enterprise beyond the Rocky Mountains, New York, 1854. 13 x 8”. (BW) This is the reduced edition of Wilkes’ map that was a major contribution to American cartography and the most detailed map of the region north of the Sacramento River. It provided Americans with an accurate view of an area still virtually unknown in the mid-nineteenth century. Wilkes supported the view of Senator Lewis Linn that the northwest boundary of America should be 54 40’ North, the famous 54-40 or Fight controversy. This map was used to illustrate that his claim was based on ‘topographical’ grounds and was instrumental in setting the scene for American interests in the territory. The map covers the region from Fraser’s Fort and Fort St. James in British Columbia south to the upper Sacramento River, and from the Pacific coast to the Black Hills east of the Rocky Mountains. The map provides excellent detail of the region including dozens of forts, watershed and other place names. A large inset map “Columbia River Reduced from a survey made by the U.S. ex. Ex. 1841” depicts the river from Ft. Walla Walla to its mouth, where one of Wilkes’ ships, the Peacock, was lost on the infamous Columbia Bar. It also features details of missions, Indian villages, and the major mountains. North is oriented to the left. The map is bound in its original volume VIII of Washington Irving’s popular works which describes his encounters with the Northwest Fur Company and John Jacob Astor. 519 pp. 12 mo. Hardbound in original marbled boards with quarter calf spine and tips. Gilt title on black and red bands on spine and full marbling to foredges. A very nice example of this volume compete with the map. Ref: Wheat (TMW) #655; Hayes 199. The map has some faint, unobtrusive offsetting, and a short extraneous fold in the upper margin. The text pages are generally very clean and bright with an occasional lightly toned areas. The covers are slightly rubbed, the spine and binding are tight and sound. (A) $400-500 153. Canada & New York, Niagara Falls (Hunter & Pickup’s Panoramic Guide from Niagara Falls to Quebec), Hunter, Montreal, 1866. 6 x 132”. (BW) This spectacular pocket strip map is eleven feet long! It shows the entire river interspersed with numerous vignettes and engraved views including bird’s-eye views of the numerous towns and villages along the shore. It is untitled so we’ve use the title on the cover. It folds into yellow paper covers with the 66-page text, featuring a fine title page (“Hunter’s Panoramic Guide from Niagara to Quebec Price One Dollar”) showing a Native American looking toward the falls, and many wood engravings throughout. This later edition appears to be the same map as the 1857 edition but with a few more pages in the guide. Published by Hunter & Pickup, printed by John Lovell. Advertisement on back cover “Pickup’s News Office” states the firm has “constantly on hand, Provincial, American and European Newspapers, Periodicals” and more. A scarce issue that we’ve not previously seen in this edition. The map is very good with some occasional soiling or staining. The covers are worn and stained, and the spine is worn away.

United States (Carte Speciale, Historique et Geographique de la Republique des Etats-Unis de l’Amerique du Nord), Renouard, Genealogical Historical Atlas., Paris, ca. 1825. 26 x 19”. (HC) Interesting map from the French edition of Lavoisne’s historical atlas that shows a conjectural border with Canada, favoring U.S. claims. The states (colored yellow) are named and numbered in order of their admission to the union; a misshapen Missouri being last at 24. The territories are colored pink and include Florida, Michigan, Arkansas, Missouri, and Northwest Territory. Native American tribes are located with a notation estimating their population at 425,700. A massive mountain range dominates the west and a speculative River of the West (R. del Carmelo ou St. Philippe) flows across the Great Basin, which is labeled as parts unknown. Extensive French text surrounds this fascinating map and there are numerous equally interesting annotations in the territories. Size given includes the text; the map measures 17 x 10”.

June 30, 1883), 1846-83. x ”. 1) O.H. Throop, 1846, (16 x 9”), Senate Doc. 29th Congress, 1st Session. This map of the United States shows the existing (finished and unfinished) railroads in the eastern states with a proposed railroad shown beginning at Prairie du Chin and stretching toward the Pacific through South Pass. The map portrays the United States prior to the acquisition of California and the Southwest, with a large Oregon Territory and the new state of Texas in a very large, transitional configuration. The map, engraved by O.H. Throop, was issued in “Memorial of

A. Whitney Praying a grant of public land to enable him to construct a railroad from lake Michigan to the Pacific Ocean”. Asa Whitney was one of the first backers of an American Transcontinental Railway; as early as 1830 Whitney became enthralled with railroads and foresaw their future role in business and transport. Whitney’s proposed route from Lake Michigan through South Pass to the Pacific was not accepted mainly because of the growing sectionalism before the Civil War. However, the map and report are an important part of the railroad history of the United States. Folding as issued with strong impression. 2) Map of the Railroads in Whole or Part West, North, or South of the Missouri River in Which the United States Have Granted Any Loan or Credit or Subsidy in Bonds or Lands. June 30, 1883, Thomas Donaldson, 1883, (25 x 14”), printed color. This map of the United States is one of Donaldson’s controversial maps, which became a political issue in the election of 1884. Color coding identifies the railroads that are receiving subsidies (either Bond or land, or both) and branch railroads. Different line forms are used to indicate what fees the railroads may charge the government for freight hauled: full rates, reduced rates, and those that must provide free transportation for the U.S. Government. Very nice example with a short closed tear at left. See individual descriptions. (A) $250-350 156.

Double-page map with terrific western territorial borders including the important territorial acquisitions of the Mexican-American War, pre-Gadsden Purchase. The inset map “No. 6 Map of the Gold Region of California” delineates the Gold Regions, naming Sutter’s Buttes, Sacramento City, and all of the important creeks of the gold region feeding into the Sacramento and Feather Rivers. The territories of Oregon and Washington extend to the Continental Divide. Minnesota Territory includes part of the Dakotas and the huge Missouri Territory rests between the Continental Divide and Minnesota, with Indian Territory bordering on the south. Indian Territory is in its largest configuration, stretching from Texas to Missouri Territory along the North Fork of the Platte River and extending westward all the way to South Pass and Utah Territory. Utah is also in its largest shape, filling the region from California to Indian Territory along the Continental Divide. Dated 1852, original hand coloring. (16.7” x 10.5”). Very good condition with just a little spotting at lower quadrants. 2) Die Vereinigten Staaten von Nordamerika. This map shows the U.S. during the American Civil War.

United States (The United States of America), Colton, New York, 1855. 26.5 x 17.5”. (HC) This great map features numerous early western territorial boundaries. Washington and Oregon Territories extend to the huge Nebraska Territory at the continental divide. Nebraska Territory in turn, extends to the Missouri River where it borders a large Minnesota Territory. Utah Territory spans from California east to join Nebraska and Kanzas along the Rocky Mountains and continental divide. The very large New Mexico Territory comprises all of today’s Arizona, the southern tip of Nevada, and part of Colorado. The map details the exploration routes of many expeditions including those of Marcy, Kearny, Fremont, etc., and locates the Santa Fe Trail and the Oregon Trail. An uncommon issue printed on bank-note paper and surrounded in a flourishing decorative border. There are a few light, insignificants spots, overall very good. (A) $500-650 158.

The earlier edition shows Washington Territory with its western boundary on the Rocky Mountains, Nevada encroaching into California and an oversized Utah. Arizona is shown below New Mexico. Idaho and Wyoming are colored the same, but named separately.

(HC) This is the first published geological map of the United States by the nascent USGS. It is generally referred to as the McGee map after the compiler. The legend at lower left names and color codes twelve different geological formations. There is also very fine detail of hydrology. Vast areas of the western U.S. remain blank, reflecting the infancy and inadequacy of western geological explorations at the time, and coincidentally emphasizing the need for more congressional funding. The mapping of the King, Hayden, Powell and Wheeler surveys are evident in the West, but little else. This was Plate II in the annual report. This was the most up-to-date map at the time, but was soon to be superseded by Hitchock’s 1886 map which augmented the western states’ geological detail. See the following lot for Hitchock’s map.

(PC) This edition of Hitchcock’s important map is the first geological map of the entire United States. This claim was made by Hitchcock in the article, “The Geological Map of the United States” in volume XV, of the Transactions of the American Institute of Mining Engineers, 1886-1887, that originally accompanied the map. Hitchcock writes (p. 468): “For the first time in the history of American maps it has been possible to show the distribution of stratigraphical divisions of equal importance in every part of the country.” Hitchcock describes the 1884 McGee, U.S. Geological Survey national map as incomplete: “Because of the scarcity of existing and available information, it became necessary to leave the following States and Territories either partially or wholly uncolored: Arizona, California, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Washington.” In the section listing the improvements in his (Hitchcock’s) map, he notes: “2. Extension of the colors into the States and Territories of the far West,” and he gives the sources for the new information that allowed him to fill in the western states. Please see the previous lot for McGee’s map as referenced by Hitchcock. This large chromolithographic map provides terrific detail of the geological formations of the country. An explanatory key to the colors indicates sixteen geological formations, increased from nine on the first edition of 1873.

Each map is densely filled with Taylor’s playful images describing industry and activities in the area. The dimensions given are for two-page spread as this is the layout employed in the brochure. The dramatic cover is in bold red and black with art deco titling. The maps are in the style employed in Frank and Ruth Taylor’s “Our USA - A Gay Geography.” The newly created Boulder Dam (September 1935) is shown suggesting a publication date in the late 1930’s. Passengers were given this brochure as a souvenir of their flight in the innovative DC-3 aircraft. Page eight has a fascinating history of United Airlines. Absolutely mint. (+A) $120-160 166. Colonial United States (Novissima Tabula Regionis Ludovicianae Gallice dicta la Louisiane…), Weigel, Nuremberg, ca. 1734. 16.3 x 12.5”. (HC) This uncommon map is based on Delisle’s seminal charting of the French possession of Louisiana that drew together the cartographic work of the previous half century. It presents a detailed view of the Gulf region and the Mississippi, and the exploration routes of De Soto, Cavelier, Tonty, Moscoso and Denis. Numerous forts are shown throughout. At the far west is the Rio Grande with the settlements of Santa Fe, los Taos, S. Felipe and Albuquerque nearby. The large figurative cartouche shows two gentlemen negotiating a chest of coins for a stock certificate, in reference to the famous Mississippi Bubble investment scheme. The impetus for colonial expansion in the Americas came not just from governments, but also from private investors willing to invest for future profits from undiscovered riches in these new lands.

Colonial United States (Carte de la Louisiane Cours du Mississipi et Pais Voisins…), Bellin, Paris, 1744. 22 x 15.5”. (HC) This interesting map first appeared in the journal of Pierre Francois Xavier Charlevoix, a French Jesuit historian and traveler who traveled throughout the French possessions in North America. The map covers from the Great Lakes through all but the tip of Florida, and from New Mexico and the Rocky Mountains through the eastern seaboard. The information in the west includes the road from Mexico City to Santa Fe and the routes of St. Denis and De Soto though Texas. The Riviere du Nord (Rio Grande) has its headwaters in the upper left corner, only a few miles from the Missouri River. There is great detail of Indian villages, trading agencies, forts, mines, villages, and colonial settlements. Bellin based the map on Guillaume Delisle’s landmark map of 1718. While covering the same area, Bellin’s map incorporates much new information from Charlevoix and other French explorers, particularly in the depiction of lakes and rivers and additional place names. Sometimes overlooked because of its similarity to Delisle’s map, this map occupies an important step in the cartographic history of North America. Ref: McCorkle #744-1; MCC-96 #703.

(HC) This splendid map covers the area east of the Mississippi River, from Niagara Falls to Port Royal, SC. It shows major towns and cities, Indian villages and tribal territory, English and French forts, boundaries, trails and topography. According to Cumming, this map has the most complete delineation of Indian tribes, especially west of the Blue Ridge Mountains, in a printed map up to this time.

The map’s labeling represents the British claim, with the Carolinas, Georgia and Virginia extending to the Mississippi River, but the coloring reflects the French claims to the region west of the Appalachian and Allegheny Mountains. Fascinating details include the locations of Indian tribes and villages, gold mines, forts and frontier outposts. Large expanses of country are shown belonging to various Indian nations. In present day Texas Country of the Cenis, Gr. Village of the Cenis, and the Garrison of the North or of St. John Baptist are noted. A large river and lake west of the Mississippi is identified as The Great River according to M. de la Hontan. Ref: Jolly GENT-169; Sellers & Van Ee #109.

Eastern United States (Carte des Etats-Unis d’Amerique et du Cours du Mississipi…), Brion de la Tour, Paris, 1784. 27.5 x 20”. (HC) The Treaty of Paris, which ended the Revolutionary War, brought on the publication of a number of maps of the new United States and this map was among the earliest French maps to show the new nation. First published in 1783, this is the second state, dated 1784, but apparently unchanged from the first state. The map shows the nation’s boundary on the Mississippi River, but extends to include considerable information on the Indian tribes on the western frontier as far as present-day Kansas (Kanfez). The states of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia all have their western borders on the Mississippi River. There is excellent detail of early settlements, forts, and Indian villages with a list of 18 important forts in the New England region. A table at lower left gives the population for the original 13 states. A section of Virginia is named Indiana. This region was originally granted to a Philadelphia trading company by the Iroquois Confederacy in 1768. Then in 1776 it was sold to the Indiana Land Company, but was also claimed by the State of Virginia as a part of her original charter. The resulting battle between the private land company and Virginia resulted in the Eleventh Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and is one of the most interesting chapters in the history of the young United States. The large title cartouche is framed by a Liberty cap on a pikestaff, emblem of the Sons of Liberty, and the flags of the United States and France.

(BW) An uncommon map of the early United States and the first printed map to name Frankland. Also known as Franklinia, it is shown here just west of the border of North Carolina, named Pays de Frankland. In 1785 settlers in western North Carolina and what would become eastern Tennessee organized a state government to be named in honor of Benjamin Franklin. Congress turned down their appeal but the state maintained a legislature and governor until 1788. This ephemeral state appears on only a small number of maps. The 14th state of Vermont is named and noted in the key at right, with a notation in French that it was ‘not yet accepted in the confederation’. Virginia is shown in a strange configuration and there is a square-shaped region denoted as Pays de Kentukey. This map was published by Michel Guillaume De Crevecoeur, a French-born surveyor, who settled in New York where he produced his classic collection of twelve essays that reflected on the nature of American life, particularly its customs and manners. His description of bountiful American lands spurred many French people to immigrate to America. Ref: McCorkle #787.8; Mapforum 1, Early Maps of the US #69; Baynton-Williams (TMC-72) #1 The map itself is near fine less a few light foxing spots.

Eastern United States (The United States of America), Payne, Universal Geography, London, 1791. 13.5 x 14.5”. (HC) This is an apparently unrecorded map that shows Frankland, the proposed state that is also known as Franklinia. The map was published during a tumultuous political period in the United States. There were several political movements to organize new states on the western frontier, one of which was to be named in honor of Benjamin Franklin. This proposed state was to be formed in the region that eventually became eastern Tennessee. The map also shows Kentucky, A New State running along a north-south line forming a western border of Virginia and Pennsylvania. There are two other notations of A New State; one in present-day Ohio, and the other roughly in Indiana. The map is filled with Indian villages and interesting remarks, such as Country full of Mines and Mascoutens Nation of the Fire. Publisher’s imprint beneath bottom neatline, London, Published August 1st 1791 by J. Johnson, St. Paul’s Church Yard. The ephemeral state of Frankland appeared on only a small number of maps from 1785 to the early part of the 19th century. Ashley Bayton-Williams wrote an article for the Map Collector (Vol. 72, 1995) listing the known maps that showed it. This map is not listed there, nor in any other reference or checklist of early maps of the United States. It also has not appeared in any dealer or auction catalog records that we can find. Nice impression and original outline color. Issued folding, with a few creases and a few stray spots of color in the Atlantic.

A very early map that details the fledgling states and the Indian lands east of the Mississippi River. The map is particularly interesting for the depiction of the Revolutionary War Bounty Land Grants. Ohio is a small area labeled Ohio Company and Donation Lands with no sign of the other bounty grants named on Russell’s larger, derivative map. Other interesting designations west of Ohio bear the labels Illinois Company, Wabash Company, Army Lands, and New Jersey Company. The area northeast of the upper

Mississippi River is largely unorganized with a few rivers, forts and settlements; Detroit, the Lake of the Woods, and Upper and Lower Iowa are in this region. Army Lands are located in both Kentucky (unnamed) and in the Tennessee Government. Tennessee had recently split from western North Carolina and would soon gain statehood. Georgia is listed as the fifteenth state and appears to extend to the Mississippi River. Florida is divided into east and west regions. Under the control of Spain, Florida had been ceded by England to the Spanish in gratitude for their neutrality during the American Revolutionary War. Various Indian tribes, forts, and villages are indicated throughout. The Twenty Leagues Line is drawn in the Atlantic. Near the left margin is the “References to the States,” listing only fifteen. The title misdates the Treaty of Paris to 1784, instead of 1783. There is slight toning in the Atlantic and a short centerfold split into border at bottom that is closed on verso with old tape repair (B+). 2) United States of America, John Drayton, 1838, (10.5 x 9”). This map was drawn by Drayon “from Tanner’s map of the U.S.” and the copper plate was engraved by J. Yeager. The map extends to include about half of the Independent Republic of Texas. The map shows a large Wisconsin Territory, Missouri, Arkansas, and Louisiana. The inset continues the lower half of Florida on the same scale. The map provides excellent detail throughout with a finely engraved line. The slight offsetting in the Atlantic is not distracting (A). Ref: 1) McCorkle #795-11.

(HC) This is a French edition of the general map of Rochefoucald Liancourt’s travels in the United States. The entire map is in English, only the title is in French. The map extends south to include part of East and West Florida. The western boundary of Georgia extends to the Mississippi River. A thin strip of land extending westward between Georgia and Tennessee is called United States Territory. This region originally belonged to South Carolina but was ceded back to the United States in 1787. Further south a wide strip of land between Georgia and West Florida is Land glaimed (sic) by the United States referring to the disputed region between the United States and Spain. The map is filled with a remarkable number of place names and details including a well developed road system in the nascent nation. Ref: cf Phillips (M) p. 873.2 This map is in much finer condition than this issue is normally found.

(BW) This is an interesting and significant map that shows Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin referred to, respectively, as State I, II, III, IV, and V. These are the five new states as proposed in the Ordinance of 1789. The northern boundaries of Illinois, Indiana and Ohio are shown at the southern tip of Lake Michigan. The positioning of this line later resulted in a boundary dispute between Michigan and Ohio, with Ohio blocking admission of Michigan to the Union until the question was settled. Fighting was considered a real possibility in this heated dispute. The mostly blank Wisconsin bears the notation “Large Meadows extending to Lake Michigan.” Wisconsin came from the term “Ouisconsin” that is believed to mean “grassy place” in the Chippewa language. The Western Reserve is inscribed “New Connecticut.” Wayne County is the only county shown in Michigan. Cincinnati is here called Cincinnatus. Map locates portages, Musquito Fort, to name one of many forts, plus watershed, frontier villages, and much more deserving of study. The boundary line from Gen. Wayne’s Treaty of 1795 is shown. Maine is the District of Maine. The map extends to the Mississippi River with the lands to the west “Re Lands Reserved by the US.” This map appears identical to the first edition of 1797 save for the corrected statement in the title and the lack of Callender noted as the engraver. A scarce issue. Ref: Wheat & Brun #158. Issued folding with some weakness at folds.

The map provides a good view of the early settlement that was beginning to flourish on the western frontier. Near the confluence of the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers are lands belonging to the Illinois Company and New Jersey Company, two of the westernmost Revolutionary War bounty land grants. Several roads are shown connecting the frontier with the more settled region on the eastern seaboard. Georgia Territory extends to the Mississippi River and Indian tribes and villages occupy most of the territory that would eventually become Alabama and Mississippi.

It covers the country from the Atlantic Ocean westward to the Mississippi River, beyond which is a small portion of Louisiana Territory. The huge Western Territory is comprised of today’s Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Michigan. The 1795 Boundary Line by the Treaty of Grenville is delineated across present-day Ohio. The District of Main is drawn from the British point of view with the northern portion incorporated into Lower Canada and New Brunswick. The huge Georgia Territory stretches to the Mississippi River, incorporating present-day Alabama and Mississippi. Florida is divided into the Spanish possessions of East and West Florida.

Colonial New England and New York (A Map of New England and New York), Speed/Lamb, A Prospect of the Most Famous Parts of the World, London, [1676]. 19.7 x 15”. (HC) An important map of the British colonies in North America covering the east coast from Maryland and New Jersey northward through New York and New England to the French possessions in Canada. It is based on the Jansson/Visscher maps that formed the foundation for maps of the region. It illustrates the territories acquired by the British with the capture of New Amsterdam in 1664, which radically shifted European influence in the colonies from the Dutch to the English. While the map’s geographical features closely follow the prototype, the nomenclature is substantially anglicized. It is the first appearance of name Boston, and the first map to use the term New York for both Manhattan and the colony. It is also one of the first maps to show New Jersey. With its exaggerated depiction of Lake Champlain (Lake of the Irocoisiensi or Irocoisen) and confusing river systems, the map emphasizes how little was known of the wilderness beyond the coasts and river valleys of New England during this early colonial period. It is richly embellished with various animals in the interior of the map, two compass roses, two cartouches and a coat of arms. Normally referred to as Speed’s Map of New England this famous map actually appeared 47 years after his death and was engraved by Francis Lamb for inclusion in the last edition of Speed’s popular atlas, published by Basset and Chiswell. The English text on verso provides fascinating information on the colonies. Ref: Burden #455; McCorkle #676.6; Tooley (Amer) pp. 290-291, plts. 159 & 162. A fine example less a few very minor flaws.

(HC) This great map is one of the fundamental landmark maps of the seventeenth century. It was copied almost exactly on at least 27 later maps, and it formed the beginning of the famous Jansson-Visscher series. Compiled from numerous manuscript and printed sources, the map follows the general outline of Adriaen Block’s chart of 1614 with the St. Lawrence River and Lake Champlain based on Champlain. Virtually all European settlements are depicted with several English settlements appearing for the first time. The map is lavishly embellished with engravings of local game and two large Indian villages, all derived from Blaeu. This is the third state with the added dedication to Gualthero de Raet with his coat of arms and the imprint of Valk and Schenk.

Oversized lakes appear in the interior of New England and New York, notably Sennecaas Lacus and Lake Champlain (which is grossly misplaced). Cape Cod and Cape Ann are both depicted as islands and Boston Harbor is exceedingly large. The fictitious region of Norumbeag is placed in present-day Maine at the head of Penebrock Bay. Various Indian tribe names are identified on the map, as are numerous colonial settlements along the coastlines and rivers. The cartouche depicts a European sea captain negotiating

with an Indian chief. They are surrounded with trade goods, alluding to the natural wealth of the region. Ref: McCorkle #724.1; Portinaro & Knirsch #116; Sellers and Van Ee #806.

New England and Mid-Atlantic (Carte de la Nouvelle Angleterre, Nouvelle York, Nouvelle Jersey, et Pensilvanie), Laporte, Atlas Moderne Portatif, Paris, ca. 1783. 8.7 x 7”. (BW) Uncommon, small map with odd boundaries, dating to the end of the Revolutionary War. Each state appears as an amorphous strip stretching northsouth, reflecting France’s lack of knowledge of colonial boundaries. In New England, Massachusetts Bay and New Hampshire seem to have been added to the plate, and are spelled Massachusset Bay and Hew Hampshire. This is a variant of the Laporte map, with the addition of Etats Unis in the Atlantic, rather than Possesions Anglois, but this is not the later 1799 Berthelon issue with the simpler cartouche.

New England and New York (The New York Central Hudson River RR and Connections / The Health and Pleasure Resorts of New York and New England…), Railroad Companies, 1893. 39 x 16”. (HC) This is an early promotional brochure that has on one side a large and very colorful map of the northeast that extends westward to include the Great Lakes and on to show Minneapolis, Des Moines, and St. Louis. The map uses 3-D topography and a false horizon in the north to give the impression of a bird’s-eye view. Excellent detail of the railroad system with special emphasis on the New York Central & Hudson River RR, the Only Four-Track Railroad in the World. Adjacent to lower title is a vignette showing Grand Central Station. The upper title is in very fancy Victorian lettering with shadowing and flourishes. The 20-panel brochure self-folds into a pictorial cover (4” x 8”) with fancy lettering titled, “America’s Great Resorts.” Opposite the map are photographs and marketing descriptions on the popular resorts of the day including Watkins Glen, Cayuga Lake, Berkshire Hills, Lake George, Saratoga, the Adirondack Mountains, Niagara Falls and more. An early and most uncommon issue. A few flaws as is to be expected in a folding brochure including a few fold intersection splits with archival tape, but generally very good to fine.

Back cover with advertisements, inside cover is list of all railroads and trolleys in the region. Map is very nice with great color (B+), the covers are soiled and the back cover has a tear closed by an old repair. This is an early example of similar maps variously published from Boston. 2) Tri-State Trolley Map. This pocket map is a great promotional map detailing the region to include Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire with Boston shown at the center. Red overprinting indicates the map was presented by the firm of Perry, Coffin & Burr, Investment Bonds, 60 State St., Boston. Red overprinting is also used to boldly indicate the extensive network of the Boston & Northern and Old Colony Street Railway companies, with other Street Railways shown via smaller black lines. The map extends to include Newport, Rhode Island and as far north as Concord, New Hampshire. Blank verso. Folds to 4” x 7”. Engraved by J.C. Peters & Son, and published by the Boston & Northern and Old Colony Street Railway Companies, both of Boston.

Colonial Mid-Atlantic (Nova Virginiae Tabula), Hondius/Blaeu, Amsterdam, [1662]. 18.3 x 14.5”. (HC) This is one of the most important seventeenth century maps of the Chesapeake Bay region. The early settlement of Jamestown is noted as Iamestowne, and there are a number of other place names, both English and Native American. The map was derived from Capt. John Smith’s map of 1612, which was the first to depict the bay and its tributaries with any accuracy. In the upper left corner is an engraving of the great Indian chief, Powhatan, seated on his throne and surrounded by his subjects. A Susquehanna chief is depicted on the right under the British coat-of-arms and a key cartouche. The plate was engraved by D. Grijp and was originally published by Jodocus Hondius Jr. in 1618. It was purchased by Willem Blaeu shortly after Hondius’ death (1629) and Blaeu’s imprint replaced that of Hondius. Latin text on verso. Ref: Burden #193; Tooley (Amer) p 161-62. There is some very faint toning, mostly in the blank margins, and a couple archival tape repairs in the blank margins. (+B) $2400-3000 199.

(HC) This handsome map of the mid-Atlantic colonies is balanced with an exquisite pictorial cartouche filling the lower right. There is a large hypothetical lake (Apalache Lacus) west of Craven County, Carolina. Some counties and many rivers of eastern Virginia are shown, but western Virginia is vague with only Germantown, Mister Krug’s Plantation and Fort Christ Anna located. Florida is shown extending west of Virginia, all the way north to Lake Erie. Maryland along Cheseapeake Bay [sic] shows many rivers and towns with soundings in most bays, and the coastline of North Carolina is fairly accurate. Philadelphia is clearly shown although Pennsylvania is divided by a rambling Sasquesahanag River and is only vaguely depicted. New Jersey is divided vertically into west and east sections. There is a large Sandy Hook, a minuscule Manhattan, and a thin Long Island Sound. The huge title cartouche depicts European merchants, Indians, trade goods, and the fruits of land and sea -- imagery intended to attract people to the New World. Ref: Cumming (SE) #156, Williams & Johnson #7. Dark early impression and fine hand coloring with original margins, close at left as usual for this map considering the large plate takes up most of the paper area.

202. Colonial Mid-Atlantic (Carte de la Virginie et du Mariland), Laporte, Atlas moderne portatif…, Paris, ca. 1768. 8.7 x 7”. (HC) This is an early edition of an uncommon map of the Mid-Atlantic region. Maryland is an ill-defined wedge between Virginia and Pennsylvania and does not extend beyond the Appalachians. Maryland’s most prominent settlement is St. Marie, the colony’s first capital. The Delaware boundary indicated on the map was made following the conclusion of a long land dispute between Lord Baltimore and the Penn family in 1760. Strangely, Philadelphia is missing from the map while Alexandria is also called Belhaven. The colonies are labeled Possessions Angloises and Louisiane is clearly marked on the western slope of the Allagany Montagnes. There is not a great deal of detail, but there are some interesting names including the Tabaco Montagnes. Lightly toned margins with remnants of hinges on verso. (A) $250-325 203.

Colonial South (La Floride), Sanson, Curieus Aenmerckingen der bysonderste Oost en West Indische, Paris, [1682]. 9.8 x 7”. (HC) This influential map shows the Spanish and French possessions in the southern part of North America. The map extends from the southernmost part of Virginia to the coast of what is now Texas. When first introduced by Sanson in 1657, this map was the first to use the name L. Erie in an atlas and to introduce several new rivers in Virginia. The French claims in the Carolinas are reasserted with the region named Floride Francoise, despite the region not having had any French presence for nearly 100 years. The place name Caroline is not related to the future English colony of Carolina. Instead it is a confusion between the French Fort Caroline on the St. Johns River, and Charlefort that was located near Port Royal. This issue is from a re-engraved plate published by Joannes Ribbius and Simon de Vries. Ref: Burden #326; Cumming (SE) #53. Bright, magnificent example with large circular watermark.

(BW) An interesting map featuring Mobile Bay and Fort Conde, New Orleans and Plantations on the Mississippi well north of New Orleans. Large inset “Plan for a New Settlement” shows much detail including docks along the river. This map was published in response to reports that the British government was considering the settlement of a colony on the banks of the Mississippi; the point suggested was near today’s Baton Rouge.

Southern United States - Kentucky and Tennessee (Map of the State of Kentucky; with the Adjoining Territories), Reid, American Atlas, New York, 1795. 17.5 x 14.5”. (HC) This is a scarce and significant map depicting the entire state of Kentucky, most of Tennessee (labeled as South Western Territory), and the northern part of Georgia. The map was issued only three years after statehood for Kentucky and just before Tennessee became a state. The map was copied from John Russell’s map of the previous year and provided the best information available at the time for the trans-Appalachian frontier. Seven subdivisions of the original three counties are shown and pioneer roads (called traces) are shown throughout both Kentucky and Tennessee. Towns such as Lexington, Louisville, Nashville, Knoxville, Boonsborough, and even mills and orchards are denoted. Of particular interest are the depictions of the planned, but never built, utopian settlements of Somerset and Franklinville. Several Bounty Land Grants are shown. Second state, published in 1796.

(HC) This uncommon map was part of Cassini’s six-sheet representation of the settled portions of North America. Cassini drew largely from the Zatta-Mitchell map of North America. This sheet is focused on the southeastern region of presentday Georgia, Florida, Alabama and Mississippi. The native tribes are noted, and the forts and roads are located along with a number of towns. The map is decorated with a landscape cartouche featuring fishermen. Ref: Portinaro & Knirsch CLXVIII. Worm tracks in the bottom margin have been infilled. (A) $1300-1500

215. Southern United States (Map of the Southern Parts of the United States of America), Bradley, Morse’s American Gazetteer, [1804]. 15 x 7.6”. (BW) The second edition of this interesting map that was “Corrected by the Author.” It details the South during the tumultuous period following independence when the states and central government fought over control of the western land claims. Seven of the 13 original states had claims to areas in the West (those lands between the Appalachian Mountains and the Mississippi River). These so-called landed states had a great potential advantage over the six landless states. It was assumed that the future sale of western lands would enrich the landed states and possibly allow them to operate without any form of taxation. The landless states feared that they would lose residents and dwindle into insignificance. The matter was further complicated by the fact that the claims often overlapped one another, which pitted one state’s interests against another. On this map the region of much of present-day Mississippi and Alabama is labeled Mississippi Territory, with the coastal region named West Florida. A dotted line running north-south through present-day Georgia demarcates “All West of this line is claimed by the United States & also by Georgia.” The overlapping claims were resolved when Spain gave up its claim to West Florida in 1795 and Georgia finally relinquished its claim in 1802 (the last of the landed states to surrender its claim). Another interesting feature of the map is the notation of the number of men in several of the Indian tribes in the western territories. It is from the same plate as Wheat & Brun #496 with corrections by Bradley. Ref: cf Wheat & Brun #496. Issued folding, now pressed. A little soiling in lower right quadrant and one paper flaw from a tiny fragment of wood embedded during the paper making. (+B) $250-300 216.

(HC) A stunning map compiled from John White’s Virginia and Jacques le Moyne’s Florida as interpreted by Theodore de Bry. Largely due to the enormous success of this atlas, Le Moyne’s erroneous depiction of a large inland lake (Lacus aquae dulcis) from which the R. de May (St. John’s River) flows in a southeasterly direction was popularized. Chesapeake Bay, here called Chesepioock Sinus, and the area south towards C.S. Romano Hispanis are shown in their White delineations. The Indian villages of Paquiwok, Croatoan, and Wococon are named in the Outer Banks and several others along the Albemarle and Pamlico Sounds. The map is extensively decorated with depictions of Indian villages incorporated in the title cartouche, a Floridian king and queen and Virginian natives in a canoe taken from De Bry, wildlife including a wild turkey, ships, sea monsters and a superb compass rose. Latin text on verso. Ref: Burden #151; Cumming (SE) #26; Williams & Johnson #3.

Colonial Southeast (Virginiae partis australis, et Floridae partis orientalis, interjacentiumq regionum Nova Descriptio), Blaeu, Amsterdam, ca. 1645. 20 x 15”. (HC) This striking map of the Southeast is based on the Hondius map of 1606 with marked improvements in the northern part of the map. It is largely from the work of Hessel Gerritsz and unknown English sources. In the Chesapeake Bay area Newport News (Newport Nesa), founded in 1621, is named for the first time, along with Bermouth, Stortingen and Arglas. The cartography in the southern part of the map remains unchanged with three imaginary lakes shown, the largest draining through the Carolinas via the May River. The map depicts the English and French colonial interests in the region by their respective royal coat of arms and several new settlements are noted. The map is adorned with a colorful cartouche showing six Indians in full regalia. The Atlantic Ocean contains two compass roses, three sailing ships and two winged children of the sea holding the German scale of miles. Second state with Latin text on verso.

(BW) This is from the German edition of Bellin’s map for Prevost’s Voyages published by Arkstee and Merkus as evidenced by No. 19 outside the top neatline. It is a delicately engraved map of the colonies from Albemarle Sound to the Alatamaha (Altamaha) River. It probably owes its origin to the 1752 map of the region by Emanuel Bowen. English settlements are shown along the coast and Indian villages throughout, including a number west of the Appalachian Mountains. There is more detail in the area west of the Blue Ridge than in other maps of the period. Embellished with a French rococo-style title cartouche. Ref: Sellers & van Ee #1385. Folding as issued.

(HC) This is a great map of the Southeast issued during a period of rapid change and advancement. East and West Florida exist as separate territories; West Florida was annexed into the United States in 1810. The map is filled with information on the roads, portages, forts, Indian villages, settlements and topography. It is also remarkable for the many interesting notes, including the Principal Hunting Grounds of the Western Party and Six Villages in Mississippi, here shown as part of the large Georgia Territory. In Florida, Fort St. Marks, Apalacha Fort, and the roads from St. Augustine are shown, with a note that the Apalachees Villages now almost all deserted. Southern Florida is labeled Ancient Tegesta. A lake and river system connects Mayaco Lake (Lake Okeechobee) with the St. Johns River. The map extends to provide good detail of the Bahamas including a notation on Guanihani or Cat Island that it was the first Land of America Discovered by Columbus. Fine original color with a hint of faint offsetting. (+B) $1000-1200 222. Midwestern United States (Gli Stati Uniti Dell’America Delineati sulle ultime Osservazioni Terzo Foglio che comprende Parte Della Virginia e della Carolina), Cassini, Nuovo Atlante Geografico Universale, Rome, 1797. 18.8 x 13.5”. (HC) This uncommon map is part of Cassini’s six-sheet representation of the settled portions of North America, now part of the new United States. Cassini drew largely from the Zatta-Mitchell map of North America. This sheet is focused on the Mississippi and Ohio River valleys, showing portions of Lakes Erie and Michigan at top; the latter with the note of Fiume e Porto Chicagou near present-day Chicago. The interior is identified as Virginia and North Carolina Territory, but it covers present-day Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, and portions of Missouri and Tennessee. The native tribes are noted, and the forts and roads are located along with a number of towns. The map is decorated with a landscape cartouche showing a turbaned man lounging on the shores of a river. Ref: Portinaro & Knirsch #166. Lightly toned with original outline color. A professionally repaired tear enters the map just above the distance scales and is now nearly invisible. A manuscript ink page number is in the top right corner outside the neatline. (+B) $700-900 223. Midwestern United States - Wisconsin, Minnesota (Amer. Sep. Partie des Etats-Unis. No. 41), Vandermaelen, Atlas Universel, Brussels, [1827]. 20.5 x 18.5”. (HC) This graphic, large-scale map features the area of Wisconsin and Minnesota, noted here as the huge Territoire du Nord-Ouest, part of Lake Superior and the source of the Mississippi River. The map is filled with topographical information, forts, Indian villages, mines and notations. The Atlas Universel was the first atlas to present all the maps on the same scale (1: 1,641,836), with each map covering an area of approximately 20 degrees longitude (from Paris) and 6 degrees of latitude. It is also considered to be the first lithographic atlas ever published. There was only one edition, published in 1825-27, and the subscription list shows that 810 copies were sold. Ref: Phillips (A) #749. Original color with some minor toning. (+B) $600-800 224. United States - Central & Eastern (Political Map of the Northern Division of the United States), Woodbridge, Woodbridge’s Geography, 1843. 17.3 x 10.3”. (HC) This finely engraved map shows the states of Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Michigan, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, New York, and the territory of Iowa. The detail is excellent with all counties named and hundreds of towns and villages. There is a surprisingly large railway network at this early stage of development with one line reaching to Cleveland. Wagon roads are also noted. The legend indicates six different sizes of cities, railways, universities and colleges, and canals. Dated at lower left, “Entered according to Act of Congress in the year 1843 by William C. Woodbridge in the Clerk’s Office of the District Court of Massachusetts.” Good impression and color on a clean sheet with original margins. (+A) $95-130 225. United States - Midwest (A New Map of Nebraska, Kansas, New Mexico, and Indian Territories), Desilver, New Universal Atlas, Philadelphia, [1856]. 13 x 16”. (HC) When Desilver took over the publication of Mitchell’s atlas in late 1855, he realized that the atlas was missing a map showing the new territories of Kansas and Nebraska. There was considerable public interest in these territories that had been created by the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 due to the politics involved. The act repealed the Missouri Compromise of 1820, and allowed settlers in those territories to determine if they would allow slavery within their boundaries. Nebraska

Territory stretches between Kansas and the border with Canada, and from the continental divide to the early Minnesota Territory at the Missouri River. Kansas stretches west to include South Park in present-day Colorado. New Mexico Territory is shown in its largest configuration, including present-day Arizona and much of southern Colorado. Oklahoma has its correct boundaries but is Indian Territory. Interesting features and notations include several emigrant and exploration routes in the region, the Great Indian Treaty Ground in Nebraska, and an Uninhabited Region in Arizona. The Road from Ft. Smith to Santa Fe 900 miles made by order of Gen. Arbuckle” and another Road from Ft. Smith to Dona Ana 820 miles made by order of Gen. Arbuckle refer to routes to the gold mines in California. Another unique feature of this map is one that appears to be a coloring error; the region west of Nebraska shows Washington Territory extending into Canada reflecting U.S. claims to the region that had been resolved in 1846. Desilver’s Philadelphia imprint is below the title, and the old copyright date of 1850 appears below the neatline. This map is rare because it appeared only in some of the 1856 editions and was replaced sometime in 1857 with a revised edition that has a more pronounced bulge in the western boundary of Nebraska Territory and is enclosed in the new scroll border. Very nice impression with original hand coloring that is slightly faded. There are some light mildew spots in a portion of the upper and lower margin. The left, binding side, was trimmed but has been extended professionally and in a manner that makes it looks contemporary to the map’s production. (+B) $375-450 226. Central United States - Kansas and Nebraska (Colton’s Kansas and Nebraska), Colton, Atlas of the World, New York, 1857. 16.7 x 25.5”. (HC) Early map in a vertical configuration covering only the eastern quarter of these young territories. Only 33 counties are organized in Nebraska and 39 in Kansas. The Santa Fe Road originates in Kansas City and The Route to Denver City is shown beginning at Doniphan, near Atchison. The proposed Pacific Railroads are shown but there are no completed lines within the territories. The Pony Express Route is also shown. There is no sign of Wichita, and Topeka is just a little town, while the capital is shown as Lecompton. Some light marginal staining into the map, and some damp stains in the margins and in right border. (+C) $130-180 227. United States - Midwest (Map of the La Crosse & Milwaukee Railroad and Connections), Colton, Fifth Annual Report of the Directors of the La Crosse & Milwaukee Railroad Co, Milwaukee, 1857. 33 x 20.5”. (HC) This rare map was produced by Colton and is bound into the front of the original annual railroad report for 1856. It covers much of the upper Midwest from Lake Michigan westward to the Yankton Country, the Missouri River and beyond to show a little of Nebraska Territory. Wisconsin is colored by county. The map delineates the lines of the LaCrosse & Milwaukee Railroad with red hand coloring, originating in Milwaukee and extending to Madison, La Crosse and Hudson. The lines of other railroads are named and shown in blue: the Wisconsin & Michigan RR has lines to Marquette and Ontonagon; the Milwaukee & Horicon RR has a single line that terminates at Lake Superior in Chequamegon Bay. An unnamed railroad reaches to the far west from Hudson terminating at the confluence of the White Earth and Little Missouri Rivers in Nebraska Territory, the route of today’s Great Northern Railroad. The map locates many Indian tribes and early settlements west of the Mississippi, plus provides excellent coverage of the watershed. This map appears to be a unique publication made to order for inclusion in the railroad’s annual report. Chartered in 1852, the La Crosse & Milwaukee Railroad failed shortly after the panic of 1857. Before its failure, the line became the second railroad to lay rails from Milwaukee to the Mississippi River. The map is attached to the 114 page annual report that includes a good deal of information concerning the railroad. The only other examples of this map we’ve found are in the Newberry Library and the Rumsey collection. The map is very good with strong, dark impression and fine original color (A). The report is evenly toned with a little more to first few pages. The paper covers are soiled and the front has a crease near spine, and the title page has a few edges tears and extra toning around margin. (+B) $300-500 228. United States - Central; Mississippi River (Panorama of the Mississippi Valley and its Fortifications), Magnus, New York, ca. 1863. 26 x 24”. (HC) This great Civil War map is in the strip-map style on four panels. The map shows the course of the Mississippi River from its confluence with the Missouri River south to its delta on the Gulf of Mexico. Excellent detail throughout locates towns and villages, forts, railroad lines, tributaries, and islands. Beside St. Louis, Memphis, Vicksburg, and New Orleans are finely rendered birds-eye views of the cities. The two distance tables include distances obtained by steamer. Blank verso. Ref: Stephenson (CW) (2nd ed.) 42.5. Due to this map’s rarity we are offering a less than good example with the expectation the new owner will seek professional restoration of this important map. There are some tender fold lines, a little loss at some fold intersections and tears. Upper left corner is partially missing with small loss to the letter “P” on Panorama. (C) $600-800 229. Western United States (Cote Nord-Ouest de L’Amerique Reconnue par le Cap.e Vancouver 2e. Partie), Vancouver, Vancouver’s Voyages (French Edition), Paris, [1799]. 24 x 30”. (BW) Beautifully engraved, large-scale, map featuring the coastal topography from Point Arena to just below the mouth of the Columbia River. The track of Vancouver’s exploration in 1792 is shown complete with soundings. There is an inset of Trinidad Bay in California. During the summers of 1792-94, George Vancouver and the crew of the British naval ships Discovery and Chatham mapped the northwest coast of North America from Baja California to Alaska. Vancouver’s voyage was the last, and longest, of the great Pacific voyages of the late eighteenth century. Taking the art and technique of distant voyaging to a new level, Vancouver eliminated the possibility of a Northwest Passage and his remarkably precise surveys completed the outline of the Pacific. Ref: Wagner [NW] #853. A superb example. (+A) $700-800 230. Western United States (No. 15 Map of Oregon and Upper California), Mitchell, Mitchell’s School and Family Geography, Philadelphia, 1846. 8 x 10”. (HC) This is the smaller school atlas version of Mitchell’s well-known map that is based largely on Fremont’s landmark map of 1845. This edition has the US/Canadian boundary as we know it today with the notation “Boundary of 1846.” Upper California extends eastward to the Rio Grande and Oregon Territory to the Continental Divide. The map delineates the Oregon Route (Oregon Trail) in good detail as it winds from the Sweetwater River through South Pass and on to Oregon City. Numerous Indian tribes and villages and forts are located. It gives an early depiction of the Great Basin, here called the Great Interior Basin of California, utilizing information from Fremont’s explorations. At lower left is the inset “Map of the Columbia River from the Cascades to the Pacific Ocean,” which locates Oregon City, Ft. Vancouver, an unnamed mission on the Columbia, Mt. Hood, and Mt. St. Helens noted with a height of 13,300 feet. Beneath the title is a detailed notation describing the U.S. claims to Oregon Territory. Ref: Wheat (TMW) 518; Wheat (Gold) #28. Fine, dark impression and original color. Even overall age toning with a couple of spots at lower left. A nice example on supple paper. (+B) $160-200 231. Western United States (Map to Illustrate Capt. Bonneville’s Adventures among the Rocky Mountains), Colton, The Adventures of Captain Bonneville...in the Rocky Mountains and the Far West, New York, [1854]. 17 x 11”. (BW) This historical map is based on Fremont’s map of the same period. The gold region of California and Sutter City are noted. The expedition party traveled parallel to the course of the Snake and the Columbia Rivers, going as far as Fort Walla Walla before turning back. Fremont’s route through California is shown, as well as Kearny’s route along the Gila River. Compiled and published by J.H. Colton, No. 86, Cedar Street, New York. This map is bound in this revised edition, volume X, of Washington Irving’s popular works providing an exciting account of Bonneville’s three year exploration of the Rocky Mountains. Bonneville did not submit any reports to his superiors in Washington during his hiatus, thus causing the U.S. Army to declare him “virtually deceased,” and subsequently removed from the military roster. 428 pp. 12mo. Hardbound in original marbled boards with quarter calf spine and tips. Gilt title on black and red bands on spine. A most handsome volume. Ref: Wagner-Camp #67:14. The map is fine. The volume contents are also fine, with just minor shelf wear along the edges of the spine and covers. (+A) $350-450 232. Western United States (United States of North America (Western States)), Johnston, General Atlas, Edinburgh, [1860]. 22.5 x 17.3”. (HC) This terrific map details the western states and territories west of the Mississippi River. It is very finely engraved with remarkable detail throughout. The map shows a pivotal and fascinating period in America’s westward expansion and state development. Washington extends to the Continental Divide and Oregon has the boundaries acquired in 1859 when it became a state. Idaho has a most unusual configuration containing all of Wyoming, but not its northern portion which is still part of Washington. The large Dakota Territory stretches from the Rocky Mountains at the Continental Divide and Minnesota far to the east. The large territory of New Mexico includes all of Arizona and part of Nevada, but Colorado has formed, removing the northern area from the territory. The oversized Utah Territory still owns a portion of Nevada with the boundary at 116 ; this border will in two steps move to 114 ,where it is today. Okalahoma and its panhandle is named Indian Territory. Keyboard-style border surrounds. Near fine example with crisp, early impression and fine original hand coloring. A little marginal soiling, map is fine. (A) $240-300 233. Western United States ([Lot of 6 - Western Views]), Wheeler, U.S. Geographical Surveys West of the 100th Meridian, 1871-73. x ”.

(BW) A heavy dark line depicts General Sherman’s route from Yellowstone to Fort Hope, B.C. He led his troops through the sites of many native battles in his final year as the Head of the Army, retiring in November of 1883. The map has fine detail of watershed in the Northwest. It extends as far east as Bozeman to show most of Yellowstone National Park, and south to show Point Orford in Oregon. Roads, Indian reserves, towns, rivers and the rail lines are noted. Folding as issued. Beautiful example. (+A) $190-240 235. Southwestern United States (Territory of New Mexico), Rogers & Johnston, Atlas Of The United States Of North America, Canada…, Edinburgh, 1857. 16 x 12.8”. (HC) The map is from one of the more unusual atlases produced in the 19th century. A result of a collaboration between a Scotsman (Johnston), American Professor Henry Darwin Rogers, and their English publisher Edward Stanford. All of the maps were drawn on a scale of 54.5 miles per inch and each were derived from the large Map of The United States, British & Central America, also drawn in 1857 by Rogers and Johnston . Precisely engraved and very detailed, this map shows New Mexico Territory at its largest size as it includes all of Arizona and parts of Nevada and Colorado. It shows the early strip counties whose boundaries lie along lines of latitude with most having no regard for the natural topography. This is the edition which carries the hand stamped note “Proposed Pacific Railroad Routes in Purple” below the title and distance scale. The proposed railroad is indeed finely hand colored in purple, showing two main proposed routes and a few sub-routes. The map also has good detail of terrain via hachure and very early watershed. The Colorado River is shown in mostly a straight line, a common error for the time. Locates numerous Indian tribes and pueblos including several different tribes of the Apache and the mesas of the Hopi (Moquis). Locates gold, silver and copper mines in the region. A fabulous and rare map of the Southwest, it is the only commercial atlas map to show New Mexico Territory by itself. The map image is fine with no flaws and is beautifully colored and engraved. Short centerfold split in top and bottom margins, closed on verso with archival tape. Upper right corner with small loss of paper. (A) $450-600 236. Southwestern United States (Johnson’s California Territories of New Mexico and Utah), Johnson & Browning, Illustrated Family Atlas, New York, ca. 1861. 24.5 x 17”. (HC) A very nice example of this early map from Johnson’s Southwest series. Nevada Territory makes an early appearance with its boundary with Utah beginning near the Great Salt Lake but wandering south-southwest from Lake Sevier. Nevada was hastily added to this plate with ‘Nevada’ crudely fitted in an arc between the U and T of Utah. The Confederate Territory of Arizona appears in the southern third of New Mexico Territory. Between August 1861 to July 1862, the Confederate General Baylor appointed himself the territorial governor and claimed all of New Mexico Territory south of the 34th Parallel for the Confederacy. The map names the Gadsden Ten Million Purchase of Mexico line between the U.S. and Mexico. The map is filled with historical notations including one note near Quartzite, Arizona referring to the area as being “fertile and abundantly timbered and well watered,” which it most certainly is not. Details the Emigrant Road, the Hastings Road, and the routes of numerous explorers and military expeditions. The Gold Region of present-day Colorado’s South Park is prominently shown in what was then Kansas. Ref: Wheat [TMW] #1027. Toned with nice original color and a few minor spots. The centerfold has been repaired with archival tape on verso. There is some damp stains and chipping in the blank margins, well away from the map. (+B) $375-450 237.

(PC) 1) Outline Map of Parts of Southern California & South-Western Nevada, Showing the Relative Areas of Drainage… , Lt. George Wheeler, 1876, (19 x 14.5”). This interesting map is separated into three regions; Coast Drainage, Great Valley Drainage, and the Interior Basin. Several railroads are shown including the Visalia Div. S.P.R.R., which runs down the Great Valley Drainage past Tulare Lake. The Southern Pacific RR is complete about half way to Yuma. The Old Salt Lake Road runs northwest out of Los Angeles through a tiny Las Vegas. A little marginal toning and hint of toning along a fold. 2) Map of Parts of California, Nevada, Arizona and Utah Traversed in 1891 by the Death Valley Expedition, Norris Peters Co., 1892, (27.5 x 17”). This map illustrates the routes of botanists Frederick Coville and Frederick Funston, precisely delineated by different red overprinted lines. The map extends as far south as Santa Monica and San Bernardino, north to Antioch and Lodi and east to Virginia City and Toquerville in Utah. San Jose, Jackson, San Simeon, Los Angeles are located; the Atlantic and Pacific, and the Southern Railways are shown. Coville was a botanist whose field work included the Geological Survey of Arkansas, 1888; the Death Valley Expedition, 1891; and the Harriman Alaska Expedition, 1899. He was instrumental in the establishment of the National Arboretum in 1927. In 1890, Funston, a Medal of Honor recipient, joined the Department of Agriculture. He was immediately part of an expedition to the Dakota badlands. The following year he worked as a botanist on this expedition. Some light fold toning and lower left corner trimmed, well away from map image. (B+) $190-240 238.

(PC) 1) Map Showing the Location of the Pueblos of Arizona and New Mexico, John Wesley Powell, Smithsonian Institution, 1881, (12 x 9.3”). This is a finely engraved map detailing the various pueblos and Hopi mesas in the region. Within the Hopi area the map locates the mesa villages of Oraibi, Songapovi, Tewa and Walpi in the Province of Tusayan. The map extends east to include Taos and Fort Garland. Locates Mesa Verde, Acoma, Laguna, Fort Defiance, Zuni, Isleta, San Ildefonso, Santa Clara and more. Red overprinted icons indicate Inhabited, Abandoned, and Ruined Pueblos, plus Cavate Lodges, Cliff Lodges, and Towers. It also locates roads, trails, springs, railroads, topography and ruins. All editions we’ve previously seen of this map have a small engraving of Walpi within the title cartouche, which this uncommon example is lacking. Toned at centerfold otherwise flawless. 2) Map Showing Indian Reservations in the United States West of the 84th Meridian and Number of Indians Belonging thereto 1881, U.S. Government, 1881, (18 x 13”). This is a precisely engraved map that shows existing, proposed and “extinguished” Indian lands via various color and line. This map also shows Indian agencies, Army outposts, towns, railroads and Yellowstone National Park. Very nice, near fine example less hint of color offsetting in lower margin and short binding side trim tear, well closed. See individual descriptions. (+B) $150-200 239.

Southwestern United States (Panoramic Perspective Map of Boulder Dam and Adjacent Area Including Lake Mead, Valley of Fire, Zion and Bryce Canyon National Parks, and the Grand Canyon of the Colorado), Railroad Companies, 1938. 30 x 17”. (PC) This is a great example of pictorial bird’s-eye-style maps that were used for advertising and publicity in the early part of the 20th century. This colorful perspective map covers the region serviced by the Union Pacific Railroad, from Salt Lake City (shown on the distant horizon) down to Boulder City, which appears to be larger than Las Vegas. It has a great depiction of Boulder Dam including a small portion of Black Canyon and shows water spraying from the turbine generator outlets. Steamships (!) are shown in Lake Mead. The map also includes the Grand Canyon, the National Parks of Bryce and Zion, Cedar Breaks Nat. Monument, and more. The route of Union Pacific Tours is shown along the north rim of the Grand Canyon where the Union Pacific Grand Canyon Lodge is prominently located. This striking image was drawn by Gerald A. Eddy of Los Angeles and published by the Boulder Dam Service Bureau, Boulder City. Blank verso. Mint image with full margins and stunning color. There are a couple insignificant spots in lower left margin. (+A) $200-300 241. Alabama (Map of the State of Alabama), Greenleaf, A New Universal Atlas, Brattleboro, VT, ca. 1842. 10.8 x 12.5”.

(BW) Fine, large chart of Lituya Bay, located within Glacier Bay National Park, along Alaska’s southeastern coast. La Perouse discovered the bay in 1786 and named it Port des Francais. He hoped to make it France’s major port in the Pacific Northwest and described it as “perhaps the most extraordinary place in the world.” He soon discovered what makes the idyllic bay famous today; high (10 feet) tides and strong (14 mph) tidal currents. Twenty-one of La Perouse’s men perished in the tidal currents while they were attempting to sound the waters at the narrow entrance. La Perouse built a monument to the lost men on the island in the center of the bay, which he named Cenotaph (meaning empty tomb) Island. Ref: Falk #1797-11; Wagner #842. There is an extraneous horizontal crease and a couple tiny holes in the blank areas of the map. (+B) $250-400

Indian reservations are outlined in green, military reservations are shown in solid red, and private claims, confirmed and unconfirmed, outlined in red. The Grand Canyon Reserve is shown. The brown hachured mountain areas and the blue waterways combine to provide great visual impact. Information includes watershed, mountains, railroads, wagon roads, private claims, unsurveyed townships, etc. The Hopi reservation is still called the “Moqui” reservation. This edition was revised and reconstructed by R.H. Morton. The 1903 edition offers an interesting historical comparison. This is the first map to name Sedona, here called Sedonia. Both are folding as issued. (+A) $230-300 245. Arizona ([Lot of 2] Territory of Arizona [and] Clason’s Guide Map of Arizona), 1907-20. x ”. (PC) These two maps explain the rapid development from prestatehood, with no existing automobile roads, into a state displaying a large network of roads in just over a decade. 1) Territory of Arizona, General Land Office, 1907, (17 x 20”). This colorful map features great detail and describes the territory just five years before Arizona attained statehood. The map clearly shows Indian Reservations, Military Reservations (Fort Apache, Fort Grant, Fort Huachuca, and Fort Whipple) and Forest Reserves via different colors. A huge Grand Canyon Forest Reserve is shown and the new Petrified Forest National Monument (established in 1906) is located east of Holbrook. Details include watershed, mountains, railroads, wagon roads, private claims, unsurveyed townships, etc. Blank verso, folding as issued, fine (A+). 2) Clason’s Guide Map of Arizona, Clason Map Company, circa 1920, (15 x 17”). This folding pocket map is complete with descriptive booklet, “Clason’s Arizona Green Guide” (4 x 6.3”). The map delineates early Automobile Roads and Main Automobile Roads via different sized red overprinted line. The road network contains a remarkable number of roads and highways. The legend also locates the state capital (Phoenix), counties lines, county seats, railroads, rail trunk lines, Indian reservations, and National Forests. Below the map is a list of towns with populations: Phoenix had just 29,000 souls, a number that stayed small until air conditioning came into commercial use. The map shows Greenlee County, created from part of Graham County in 1909. Folds into paper covers with 32-page booklet “Showing all the Best Roads Clason’s Arizona Green Guide…” which includes full-page city plans of Tucson and Phoenix. This scarce Clason issue is not dated but shows the Grand Canyon National Park (created 1919), but not the Navajo Bridge at Lee’s Ferry which was opened in 1929. Blank verso.

(BW) This important and early map of the California Gold Rush was made from Lt. Derby’s original sketch by J. Mc. H. Hollingsworth in the office of the 10th Military Dept. It is historically important, not only for its depiction of Gen. Riley’s route, but because it names, for the first time, certain actual mining camps in the middle Sierra foothills; Mormon Island (misspelled Mormont), Coloma (mislabeled Colluma), Curtis, Sullivan’s, Corons, Jamestown, Woods and Sonora. The entire route of the Riley party is noted, with the dates of their visits to the various camps, and covers the region from Monterrey Bay, north to Sacramento and east to the gold diggings.

The Transcontenintal Roads are shown in bold red lines along with the name of the highway and the Local Roads are depicted with a thin red line. The map predates the US Highway System, which was created in 1925 as a response to confusion created by similarly named highways throughout the United States. One of the most popular names was the Lincoln Highway, which is represented twice on this map; the Great North and South Lincoln Highway following the course of present-day I-25 and another Lincoln Highway linking Denver with Omaha. The other major roads shown are the Midland Trail and the Golden Belt Route following the course of present-day Interstate 70, and the old Santa Fe Trail. The map folds into pictorial, paper covers titled “Clason’s Guide to Colorado with Map” with a 40-page index (4 x 6.3”). The Clason Map Company was a pioneer in the production of maps to meet the growing demand from automobile enthusiasts. The existing bicycle and railroad maps did not serve well for this new form of transportation and maps were needed to identify roads suitable for automobiles; roads with adequate gravel, bridges, gasoline and repair shops. The American Automobile Association produced the first maps specifically for automobiles in 1905 and George S. Clason quickly followed suit compiling maps with the assistance of local automobile clubs. Two clean fold separations, just entering the map and a couple minor of splits at fold intersections.

Boston, Massachusetts (A Map of the Seat of the Late War at Boston in the State of Massachusetts), The Columbian Magazine, [1789]. 10.2 x 6.8”. (BW) This rare map was published in the July 1789 edition of The Columbian Magazine from Philadelphia. It was most likely engraved by J. Trenchard but the map carries no imprint or credit to the engraver. The delicately engraved map has Boston at its center, extending west to Worchester, north to above Salem and Marblehead, and south as far as Marshfield. The map is a simple design with information limited to watershed, roads, towns and villages. The roads feature the mileage between points. We find no prior sales for this rare issue. A copy is held in the LOC.

The Columbian Magazine, published between 1786 and 1792, was a monthly periodical published by a group that included Mathew Carey and Francis Hopkinson. In 1790 the magazine format was altered and the name changed to The Universal Asylum and Columbian Magazine, with Benjamin Rush as the leading contributor. Rush was a signatory of the Declaration of Independence, a social activist, and a leading abolitionist. Ref: Phillips (M) p.152. Clean example with one tiny spot. Issued folding but now flattened.

298. Nevada (Map of Public Surveys in Nevada Territory), General Land Office, HR Exec. Doc. No. 1, 37th Cong., 3d Sess., Washington D.C., 1862. 20 x 29.8”. (BW) Nevada existed as a territory for only three years, so maps showing this form are fairly scarce. This is the earliest General Land Office map of Nevada. The map extends to show much of the Truckee River to the north and south to Aurora and just the tip of Mono Lake. There are some towns and villages, ranches, a few roads, and watershed with limited topographical information. From 1850 to 1861 the Utah territorial government exercised control over the area of today’s Nevada. The discovery of the Comstock Lode in June 1860 and the outbreak of the Civil War led to the establishment of the Nevada Territory on March 2, 1861. This map graphically illustrates the scanty knowledge of the area. As typical for the time, Lake Tahoe is misshapen and here called Lake Bigler. The map names Carson City, Virginia City, Genoa, 5 Mile Ranch, Nye’s Ranch and more. It was made in the San Francisco office of the GLO and is signed in the plate by E.F. Beale. Beale [1822-1893] had a long and varied career in the West including Indian Agent, surveyor, camel driver and wagon-road builder. When this map was made, he was the Surveyor General to California and Nevada. A year earlier he requested a Union Army command, but Lincoln persuaded him to remain as surveyor general and help keep California in the Union. Folding as issued.

It was published by Elmer Chute and Olmstead Rich of Goldfield, Nevada. The map details hundreds of claims in a colorful mosaic that resembles a patchwork quilt pattern. Railroads, roads and the city street layout of Goldfield are mixed into a densely detailed map. On the sides is an extensive alphabetical index locating the hundreds of mining claims by the owner’s name. Large compass rose indicates magnetic variation. Blank verso. Next to the map’s title is advertising text promoting this map for $1.00 and the wall map version (larger) for $5.00. The original brown paper covers (4 x 7.5”) carry the title “Map of the Goldfield Mining District” and that the map is “printed in seven colors; all companies and separate groups are distinctly shown and indexed. Compiled from Actual Surveys, Surveyors’ Notes and Records.” The cover also notes three versions of this map available for sale. On the back cover is the blue stamp of “Fitchett’s Stationary and Cigar Store 334 Main St. Goldfield, NEV”. This is the ultimate collectable map of this famous mining town whose population reached 30,000 in 1906, making it the most populous city in Nevada at the time. Map has fine color and is quite sound with just some closed fold separations and a little toning on some folds. The map is separated from covers. Covers are near fine. (+B) $450-600 300.

The map also shows the Summit House and the railroad leading to it, depicting how it was prior to the fire of 1908 that destroyed nearly every structure on the summit. On the verso are numerous photographs and a the long story and history of Mt. Washington. Folds into original pictorial wrapper printed in blue ink (3.7 x 7”).

A pasted-down advertisement inside the front cover lists Dripps’ other maps of the vicinity with their prices. Matthew Dripps, an Irish immigrant, published maps of the vicinity of New York City in the latter part of the 19th century. He was instrumental in publishing detailed urban maps that are notable for their distillation of information. We can find no records of this map, either in price records or institutional collections. There are several clean fold separations, which need repair. Otherwise the map is complete, generally clean with a few minor stains, and the covers are in fine condition. (C) $200-300 307.

308. New Mexico (Territory of New Mexico), General Land Office, Washington D.C., 1876. 24 x 29.3”. (BW) Exploration and survey progress in the territory has progressed, but more than a decade after the close of the Civil War there are still vast areas that remain blank on this map. The majority of well surveyed regions lay along waterways, in particular from Taos and south along the Rio Grande Valley. The mining area around Silver City, and the valleys of the Canadian and Pecos Rivers are well mapped. In these areas there is good detail of wagon roads, settlements, springs and ranches. Names Aguaje de la Yegua, Bacon Springs, Reed’s Ranch, Las Canaditas, Ojo de Leon, and Franklin to mention a few. All of the Pueblos are located and named. Many forts are also shown including Cummings, Stanton, Craig, Tularosa, Wingate, Butler, and the “Old” forts of Lowell, Filmore and West. Importantly the map locates many wells and watering holes.

(HC) This great print shows the destruction of the statue of King George III in New York City following the reading of the Declaration of Independence to the American army on July 10, 1776. One of the most interesting things about this view is its inaccuracy. The statue shown bears no resemblance to the actual monument that was destroyed and the American soldiers here look much more like West Indian slaves. Nevertheless, this is an important print representing one of the defining moments of the American Revolution. Original color with some minor toning. (A) $275-350 310. New York (Map of the State of New York with Parts Adjacent by Jacob Willets), [1815]. 27.7 x 23.3”. (HC) This rare map was engraved by Jas. D. Stout and published in Paraclete Potter, Poughkeepsie. Mounted on linen in 24 segments, the map details early roads, settlements, counties, and watershed. The map is an improvement on de Witt’s 1804 map, the best available until this map’s publication. This beautifully engraved and colored map was nonetheless a commercial failure resulting in very few copies sold and today only two prior recorded sales are evident. The map is accompanied by the booklet “Jacob Willetts Quaker, Abolitionist, Teacher and his Map of the State of New York 1815” by Mark Babinski, 2005. This is a very nice example, dissected in 24 sections and backed with the original linen. Housed in a modern clamshell red cloth box. (+B) $3500-4000 311.

Oklahoma (Indian Territory), General Land Office, Sen. Ex. 50, 48th Congress, 2nd Session, Washington D.C., 1887. 32 x 24”. (PC) This interesting and detailed map reflects the status of lands allocated to various tribes as shown through color-coding. Indian removals from their ‘home lands’ began as early as 1817 and in the years following, many of the principal eastern Indian tribes were relocated to Indian Territory. Here, the Five Civilized Tribes formed the nucleus of an organized government. By 1887, however, representatives of some fifty tribes had settled on lands once promised to the original five. This map reflects many of these allocations and provides some data on the pertinent treaties involved. A small portion of the panhandle is shown and labeled Public Lands. Drawn by G. P. Strum and published to accompany George Catlin’s Indian Gallery, by Thomas Donaldson. Photolithography by Julius Bien & Co., N.Y. Beautiful color and original margins. Folding as issued.

The large South Carolina map also has some offsetting and a clean opening tear from binding trim. Covers are worn with weak hinges and bindings - new bindings would do wonders for this set. The text of Volume 1 is clean and nice. Volume 2 has a damp stain at edge which affects a small portion of some pages ranging from almost invisible to pronounced with the front and rear portions most affected.

Texas (Map of Texas, compiled from Surveys Recorded in the Land Office of Texas, and other Official Surveys), Arrowsmith, London Atlas, London, 1843. 19.8 x 24”. (HC) This is the third edition of this scarce and important map of the Republic of Texas. It is likely the first to show the full extent of Texas’ claim to the upper Rio Grande valley, an area that would remain a part of Texas until the Compromise of 1850. It is also one of the earliest maps to contain information from the General Land Office of Texas with the delineation of pioneer county development and land grants, including those for Castro, Kennedy, Pierson, Fisher and Bourgeois d’Orvanne. The map provides an accurate depiction of boundaries, river systems, Indian tribes, and major roads. The many details include the Waggon Rd. to Santa Fe, the Presidio Road, the Commanche Road, and the road to the Red River, which included along its way a Sick Camp and the grave of General Leavenworth. The arid western region purportedly explored by Le Grand in 1833 contains a note that the expansive area is naturally fertile well wooded & with a fair proportion of water; an erroneous remark that appears in this region on maps throughout much of the nineteenth century. This region is embellished with additional notations designed to promote immigration, such as valuable land, rich land, beautiful prairie, and delightful country. At bottom are two insets; a plan of Galveston Bay and a map of North America showing the relationship of Texas to Mexico and the United States. Only the second and third states include the inset of Galveston Bay, and show the full extent of republic’s claim to the headwaters of the Rio Grande. Below the seals of the Republic of Texas and the Texas General Land Office is the announcement, Recognized as an Independent State by Great Britain 16th Novr. 1840.

The western boundary is at the Rio Grande del Norte, placing Albuquerque, Taos and Santa Fe in Texas. A portion of Texas continues to the northwest above Taos in an area labeled the Green Mountains. This edition is the first to name Dallas. There are no counties formed west of about 98 , but there is a large unorganized Bexar region above San Antonio de Bexar with a large area labeled Wild Horses to the north. In the western region and panhandle a number of Indian Tribes are located. This is the most desirable map of Texas contained in Mitchell’s school geographies. (+B) $275-375 335.

(BW) This topographical map was created by Lieut. John D. Webster with assistance from T.E. Mullomny. It details a strategic portion of the Rio Grande from Matamoros to Boca Chica at the southernmost tip of Texas, an area with significance in the Mexican-American War. Details includes forts, camps, roads and towns, topography by hachure, vegetation, and numerous soundings in the Rio Grande. Fort Brown is located across the Rio Grande from Matamoros. Along the Gulf are located Padre Island, Clark’s Island, Brazo Santiago, and Port Isabel. Along the Rio Grande the small settlements of Falcone, Burgos, Tres Quilas, Arena, Burrita are located to mention a few. The map is drawn on the scale of one inch per mile, accounting for the remarkable level of detail presented. The lot includes the original 12-page “Report of Lieutenant Webster of a survey of the gulf coast at the mouth of the Rio Grande.” The report is addressed to G.W. Crawford, Secretary of War and to Millard Fillmore. The map has a couple areas of very light offsetting visible in blank areas, otherwise near fine. Folding as issued with wide margins.

Texas (Gallup’s Map of Texas), Gallup, Kansas City, MO, ca. 1920. 48.8 x 33”. (HC) This rare, large edition of Gallup’s geological map of Texas focuses on the oil and gas industry. This great map is printed in blue ink on an oiled cloth commonly used for manuscript maps during this period. Very uncommon for this time frame, it uses hand coloring to identify 15 different geological formations as well as all oil fields and gas fields. There are over 80 oil fields delineated, many named, as well as a large number of gas fields. Several oil fields are located in south-central Oklahoma. This map appears to have been a working map as six new fields have been added in manuscript in fine red ink. Each has a number adjacent that appears to be the depth of the formation below. Drawn with amazing detail on a scale of about 16 miles per inch, the map locates towns, villages, railroads, watershed, topography, counties and county seats. Insets cover the panhandle and southernmost

Texas on the same scale as the main map. Not shown here is Kennedy County which was formed in 1921, but Hudspeth County formed in 1917 is located, suggesting circa 1918-20. The Amarillo gas field, discovered in 1918 is shown but not the oil fields discovered in 1921. Copyright F.E. Gallup Map Company, Kansas City, MO. This map shares many similarities to Gallup’s smaller issue on paper from the same period, which is scarce on its own, but this large issue is quite rare. The map is fine with no flaws less the upper and left margins. At the left margin is a strip of discoloration entering the map one inch, and the upper margin is water stained with occasional fading of the blue printed neatline. (+B) $600-1000 340.

Texas and Oklahoma (Geological Map of Texas and Oklahoma Showing the Location and Approximate Area of the Oil and Gas Fields), Clason Map Company, Denver, ca. 1919. 18 x 20”. (PC) This scarce map focuses on the burgeoning oil and gas business in Texas and Oklahoma. A wide pallet of colors indicate eleven different geological formations, with the oil and gas fields, pipelines and refineries boldly located. Although oil was known to exist in Texas as early as 1543, the oil boom in Texas and Oklahoma began in earnest in the early part of the 20th century. From the Gulf Coast to the giant Bartlesville-Dewey Field, the region was the largest oil-producing entity in the world. Red overprinting indicates this as a promotional map presented by the “Currier & Company - Investments - Kansas City, Missouri.” It was produced in Denver by the Clason Map Company. Blank verso. The map folds into original blue paper covers with the same title. The inside cover contains an advertisement for the Universal Petroleum Corporation.

(HC) This notable map portrays the region and the emigrant routes into Salt Lake City. South Pass was the famous gateway through the central Rocky Mountains. This pass was first seen by white men in 1812, but remained largely unknown until disclosed to Jedidiah Smith by the Crow Indians. After 1832, it became the principle route for emigrants heading further west. The map shows the Mormon communities from just below Nephi to Ogden and as far north as Fort Hall, Idaho; it continues eastward to include Bridger’s Pass in Wyoming, Brown’s Hole, and the watershed of the Green, Uintah, and White Rivers. Marked on the map are lines showing routes practical for wagons and the routes of earlier exploring parties. Stansbury’s route of 1850 is traced and labeled. Ref: Wheat (TMW) #958.

(BW) This uncommon lithographed chart details the Strait of Juan de Fuca, Admiralty Inlet, Puget Sound and the waters in the vicinity of the San Juan Islands. It includes an inset chart “Continuation of Admiralty Inlet and Puget Sound.” Details on the map include thousands of soundings given in fathoms, hachuring of the mountains surrounding the strait, with numerous tribal lands located and named. A few settlements are noted: Victoria, Olympia, Fort Nisqually, Fort Steilcoom, and Seattle. This is a very early mention of Seattle, which was not incorporated until 1865. The incorporation was disbanded in 1867 due to unrest and was not permanently renewed for another two years. Much of the map’s cartography is credited to the U.S. Exploring Expeditions of 1841 and 1853. The map is dated 1858, but a note that states “Magnetic Variation in 1866” indicates this is a revised edition from the late 1860s.

Wyoming, Yellowstone National Park (Map of the Yellowstone National Park Compiled from Different Official Explorations and our Personal Survey, 1882), Wingate, Through the Yellowstone Park on Horseback, New York, [1886]. 18 x 24”. (PC) This map was published 1886 by Carl J. Hals and A. Rydstrom in the book Through the Yellowstone Park on Horseback by George W. Wingate. The map is especially attractive and informative, showing not only tourist sites and trails but also hotels, cabins, and routes of previous explorers. About the map, Blevins remarks that “Many features are illustrated for the first time on a non-government map”. Topography is illustrated by an unusual and pleasing form of contoured shading that enhances interpretation for the tourist. The book is in original green cloth with gilt spine and front cover titles and floral pastedowns and end sheets. First edition, octavo, 250 pp., 6 ad pages at rear, 21 engraved plates (including frontispiece), and large color topographical folding map stored in rear pocket. The plates include Old Faithful; Lower Canon of the Yellowstone; Lower Falls of the Yellowstone; Antelope; Elk; and Wild horses. Today, Wingate is best remembered as a co-founder of the National Rifle Association, of which he was president for 25 years. Naturally, portions of the book reflect the author’s interest in guns and hunting, with rifle selection and shooting technique discussed early in the book and chapters covering game and outfitting near the rear. His descriptions of Yellowstone’s scenery and natural features are both entertaining and informative and are further enriched by his observations about park facilities, personnel, and cowboys of the nearby cattle ranges. A scarce volume complete with its map. Ref: Blevins (Wyoming) No. 459.

Father Eusebius Francis Kino Jesuite between ye years 1698 and 1701), Kino, The Philosophical Transactions from the Year MDCC. Vol. II, London, [1721]. 7.8 x 9”. (BW) This is an English version of Father Kino’s important map that disproved the theory that California was an island. This was the first map to accurately depict the region, in particular the relative positions of the Colorado and Gila Rivers and the correct location of the rivers, valleys and mountains of part of Sonora and Arizona. Kino’s publication, first issued in 1705, was intended to disprove the island theory, but instead actually fueled the controversy and thus the map was reprinted many times. This edition does not carry attribution for engraver. This scarce map is essential to any collection of California or the American Southwest, and this example is more desirable as it is still bound in its equally scarce source book. Also contains “A Map of the New Philippine Islands.” The maps are still bound in the original “The Philosophical Transactions from the Year 1700 (Where Mr. Lowthorp ends) to the Year 1720.

(HC) The first state of this important map, depicting the central and western coastal regions of Mexico. This cornerstone map of New Spain was the prototype for most maps of the early 17th century. It covers the Pacific coast from present-day Acapulco to about Mazatlan and inland to Mexico City, which is situated on a large lake. Several gold and silver mines are located in the central region. The map is beautifully embellished with three ornate strapwork cartouches and two sailing ships. Latin text on verso. Ref: Wagner #119, Van den Broecke #13. There are a couple very minor edge tears, none near the map. (A) $750-850

370. Mexico (Description de Mexico et des Lagunes de ses Environs), Careri, Voyage du Tour du Monde de la Nouvelle Espagne, Paris, ca. 1727. 8.5 x 6.8”.

Many villages are located including Tacoma, Atlapilco, Tolodyuca, Tetlapanaloya, and Apazco. A distance scale and a compass rose rest in the lake. Careri’s round the world voyage of 1693-97 was detailed in Volume IV of Churchill’s notable voyages. This smaller format map is from Careri’s own publication detailing his travels. An Italian lawyer, he made a detailed record of his travels in the Levant, Persia, China, the Philippines, Mexico, Cuba and (briefly) France and Italy. His observations were questioned at the time, but in most cases were proven correct by later travelers. A scarce issue. Nice impression on a thin sheet of hand laid paper with large watermark.

(BW) This detailed and fascinating little map depicts the battlefield at the Rio Sacramento, south of El Paso, TX, showing the positions of troops with a legend that recounts the action. The Rio Sacramento is a small river just 20 miles north of Chihuahua in Mexico. The map notes that American forces numbered 924, Mexican troops 4223; one American casualty and 300 Mexicans killed. This map was included in the report to congress describing the progress of the Mexican-American War. Issued folding, now flattened. The map itself is fine but one fold appears either split with a perfect repair or simply weak along the fold. (A) $120-160 372.

Panama (An Exact Draught of the Gulf of Darien & the Coast to Porto Bello with Panama In the South Sea & the Scotch Settlement in Calledonia), Mount & Page, The English Pilot, London, ca. 1745. 21 x 17”. (HC) The Caribbean coast of the isthmus of Panama is well charted on this uncommon chart. The anchorages, rocks, shoals and reefs are carefully noted along with soundings. There are numerous notations concerning the location of fresh water, friendly Indians, good land for plantations, the location of gold mines, and a river that runs into the bowels of the country. At center is a large inset of the Scotch Settlement in Calledonia. This is one of the few maps that show the short-lived Scottish settlement of New Caledonia that was located on the Isthmus of Darien. The isthmus was of strategic importance in the overland exchange of goods between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The Company of Scotland, led by William Paterson, established the settlement with 1,200 Scots in 1698. The colony failed within a year amid devastating illness and attack by Spanish galleons. The failure of the Darien Scheme (as it became known) contributed greatly to the crippling of the entire Scottish economy that eventually led to the dissolution of the Scottish Parliament and the 1707 Act of Union with England. Evenly toned with some manuscript brown ink notations on verso, with faint show through on the map face. (+B) $600-700 374. Portobello, Panama (Piano di Porto Bello), Gazzettiere Americano, Atlante dell’ America…, Livorno, ca. 1763. 10.2 x 7.6”. (BW) This is a handsome and beautifully engraved chart of historic Portobello Bay, which was a Spanish transfer point for gold and silver coming from South America. It locates Forte Farnese on the point, the Governors Plantation, and presents the town in a simple block pattern. Adjacent to the town is the fortified Castello de la Gloria, and across the bay is the Castello de Todo Hierro and a few other buildings. The roads are well detailed including the Strada verso Panama, which extends off the map on its way to Panama City. In the ocean are a few rhumb lines and a fleur-de-lis. Drawn by Viol. Vanni and engraved by Giusep. Pazzi. This is a scarce Italian-produced map. Early, dark impression with full original margins. Near the top there is a little diffuse and light foxing, otherwise a fine example. (A) $180-220 375. Central America, El Salvador (Nuevo Mapa del Salvador…), Barberena and Alcaine, Amsterdam, 1905. 63 x 39”. (PC) This rare sectioned wall map shows the entire country in astounding detail. The map, published in San Salvador, was created by Jose E. Alcaine and Santiago I. Barbernay (1851-1916) both of the Universidad de San Salvador. The map locates cities, towns and villages, roads, trails, mountains and watershed. In the Golfo de Fonseca all islands are detailed including limited soundings. The map has two large tables: the first lists geographical locations and the heights of mountains, the second is a table of distances between the prominent towns and villages of the country. The large inset “Plano de San Salvador,” by Jose M. Peralta and Domingo Call, delineates the city in a street plan view with major buildings shown but not named. Surrounding the city plan are six views of important buildings in San Salvador including municipal buildings, Governor’s Palace, National Theatre, and the National University. The decorative and very large title cartouche includes fancy lettering and a large pre-1912 coat of arms for El Salvador. Its center consists of a triangle with a single volcano rising from the sea. Above the volcano is a Phrygian cap on a staff with a sunburst behind and two large cornucopia below. In 1912 the single volcano was replaced by five volcanoes to symbolize the five member states of the United Provinces of Central America. Alcaine designed the current National Palace. This huge map is sectioned into 96 parts attached to the original linen and folding into the original hard covers. The orange covers have marbled paper inside and gilt stamped titling on the cover. While any map published from San Salvador is scarce, a segmented map of this size is undoubtedly rare. No references or prior sales located. The map and original linen are in remarkable condition for a map of this size. While there are a few very light areas of soiling the paper and linen are in very sound, clean condition. The original cover is rubbed and a little faded with tears along the spine. The original cloth ties are mostly perished. (+B)$400-600 376.

(HC) This handsome map of focuses on the West Indies and covers the region from the Chesapeake through the Gulf of Mexico, with Central America and the northern part of South America. Two lovely cartouches with cherubs and mermaids decorate opposite corners. Eight ships sail the seas and three native canoes are depicted off the coast of North America. A number of interesting cartographic myths appear on the map. These include two large nonexistent lakes in the region of western Georgia and a non-existent mountain range extending from the Piedmonts bearing across the North American continent. In South America, the archetypal cartographic myth, Manoa o’ El Dorado (the golden city), is located on the shores of the Lacus Parime vel Roponowini in Guyana. This is the second state with the addition of the privilege in the cartouche. Ref: Burden #531. The original color has been refreshed including some gold highlights.

Side of Cuba formerly called d’Walltenam Bay…), Durell, London, 1741. 22.5 x 18.5”. (HC) This exceedingly rare map of Guantanamo Bay in Cuba was prepared during Admiral Edward Vernon’s expedition to the West Indies at the outbreak of the War of Jenkin’s Ear. In March 1741, after a disastrous defeat at Cartagena, Vernon captured Guantanamo Bay and renamed it Cumberland Harbour. It remained for a short time in British hands before Vernon abandoned it after repeated guerilla attacks on his crew that was beset with tropical illnesses. The map shows the protected bay, surrounded by steep forested hills. The locations of Admiral Vernon and Admiral Ogle’s ships are located along with the three military camps they built and the sources for fresh water. The map was prepared by Captain Philip Durell, the maker of several other maps of the region during the war. His maps are all rare, with this being the rarest. The Library of Congress has three of his maps, but not this one. The map was engraved and published by Peter Fourdrinier, London. Ref: Cueto #293. Fine impression and original color.

(HC) This is a very scarce chart of the island of Hispaniola showing the Windward Passage, the important shipping lane between Cuba and Hispaniola that connects the Caribbean Sea with the Atlantic. The map is from the important first English sea-atlas of American waters. br> John Seller was a pioneering British publisher of nautical charts and one of the most important figures in the early history of British cartography. Seller’s shop, located near the Tower of London in Wapping, became a gathering place for seamen arriving with the latest news of distant places such as the West Indies and provided Seller with information critical to his nautical chart business. In addition to sea charts, he produced a vast array of cartographic material, the first to rival the large Dutch firms such as Blaeu and Jansson. Seller was appointed Royal Hydrographer by Charles II in 1671, and also served under James II and William III. Unfortunately his business was built on a shaky foundation and though he made several attempts to avoid bankruptcy including a consortium partnership with other cartographers such as William Fisher and John Thornton, he was ultimately unsuccessful.

The 628 page volume is complete less the title page, but spine gives title “Report of the Secretary of Navy. 1873.” It contains detailed reports on the search for the ill-fated Polaris and the investigation of her loss. Hall’s body was recently recovered from Greenland and the autopsy found high levels of arsenic suggesting Hall may have been poisoned by his crew, but this 1873 report states Hall died of natural causes. The book also contains two other maps. “Chart of the N.W. Coast of Greenland” (13.5 x 15.5”) shows the track of the Steam Launch Little Juniata commanded by Lt. Geo. W. DeLong. “Chart Showing the Tracks of the U.S.S.

Each covers a region of Europe (plus one from Britain) as noted by its title. None carry a plate number or other identification save the title as given below. It is not possible to exaggerate the extraordinary detail and information provided on each sheet - this was a monumental mapping and engraving effort.

tion measures approximately 22” x 19” including the decorative border.

The plate was engraved anyway and several prints made from it appeared in the 1573-1575 editions of Theatrum, this being one of these rare early editions, not the later re-engraved plate issued in 1579 and later. Beautifully embellished with a large strapwork title cartouche, scale of miles and two coats of arms. This issue was published in a Latin edition with page number 36 on verso.

(HC) Handsome, beautifully detailed map of all Italy, Corsica, Sardinia and the Dalmatian coast. The sea is filled with ships and sea monsters. Richard Blome was one of the most interesting and most active publishers of illustrated books in post-Restoration London. Blome’s maps are important in British cartographic history because his atlases were completely produced in England. There was not a fully developed domestic mapmaking industry at the time, and most English publishers (including John Speed) had their plates engraved and/or printed on the continent. This map was engraved by Wenceslas Hollar. It was common practice during this period to finance publishing projects by soliciting sponsorship from wealthy patrons and dedicating maps to these sponsors. Blome took the practice to the extreme by selling the sponsorships yet again for subsequent editions. Thus, many of Blome’s maps are known in several different states, with the change being a new dedication. This map is dedicated to Sir William Whitmore of Apley, Sheriff of Salop. There are some minor repairs and paper restoration in the blank margins. (A) $375-450 671.

Mylne studied architecture under the direction of Giovanni Battista Piranesi in Rome. In the spring of 1757, Mylne accompanied the diplomat Richard Phelps and antiquarian Matthew Nulty on a tour of Sicily where he undertook the preparation of this map to pay for his studies.

(HC) This is Ortelius’ first map of the Turkish Empire that appeared in his monumental atlas only between 1570 and 1579, when the copperplate was replaced with a similar map of the same title. The map is based on Ortelius’ own map of Asia, which was derived from the work of Italian mapmaker Giacomo Gastaldi of 1561. It features the Arabian Peninsula prominently and illustrates the coastlines fairly well but most of the interior information is completely hypothetical with many place names taken from antiquity and legend. The Red Sea (Mare de Mecca) is shown relatively accurately whereas the Persian Gulf (Mare Elcatif) is misshapen due to the exaggerated Arabian shoreline. The map is richly embellished with sailing ships, a sea monster in the Black Sea, and a superb, strapwork title cartouche topped by a grape arbor and supported by a pair of female, winged sea monsters.

Edward Wells (1667-1727) was a mathematician, geographer and professor at Oxford, where he taught the young Duke of Gloucester. All the maps in Wells’ atlas were dedicated to William who had always been sickly and died in July 1700. The centerfold has been reinforced with tissue on verso. The bottom left corner has paper replaced, well away from the map. (+B) $200-250 705.

(BW) This early map of Syria, the Holy Land and Cyprus is an enlarged version of Gastaldi’s important map of the same title. Girolamo Ruscelli, the editor, and Valgrisi, the publisher, improved on Gastaldi’s map by following the revisions made by Gastaldi in the Holy Land area of his eight-sheet map of Asia that was published in 1561. The coastline, Jordan Valley and inland seas are much improved from earlier maps, but there are still a number of errors; Mount Lebanon (Monte Libano) is shown well east of Damascus, Jerusalem is too close to the coast, Beirut (Baruto) is too far inland, and some rivers are overstated. Still it is a remarkable presentation of the region for the time period. Engraved in the Italian style with a stippled sea and mountains distinguishing the interior. Italian text on verso.

Bethlehem, Holy Land (Bethlehem), Bruyn, Reizen door de vermaardste deelen van Klein Asia, ca. 1698. 24.8 x 9”. (HC) Cornelis de Bruyn (1652-1726) was a Dutch artist who traveled through the Holy Land and other portions of Asia. De Bruyn had to disguise his activities because this was a repressive period during the Ottoman rule when foreigners were regarded with suspicion and the making of “graven images” was prohibited. De Bruyn avoided detection by pretending to be picnicking with two Franciscan monks who stood guard while he made his drawings. This lovely view of Bethlehem shows the small village; a shepherd with his flock and travelers on the road are in the foreground. His works are particularly historically valuable because of their accuracy. Lightly toned with a couple of folds and a minor tear in margins with old paper repairs. (A) $325-450 732.

The map stretches from the Persian Gulf to the Caspian Sea and features Babylon (Baghdad), the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. Mercator originally published this map in his 1578 edition of Ptolemy’s great Geography. Although he is most renowned today for the projection he popularized and for first using the term Atlas for a collection of maps, he devoted much of his life to his Ptolemaic maps.

The towns and cities on the coastlines are named in both Roman and Cyrillic lettering. The map is embellished with several sailing ships and a large title cartouche flanked by a large group of diverse Asian people. The Caspian Sea remained a mystery through much of cartographic history. It was originally thought to be a huge gulf in the northern ocean and was not recognized as a landlocked sea until the late medieval period.

It was not accurately mapped until the early 18th century when the surveys of Karl van Verden were commissioned by Russia. Lightly toned; a bit darker in lower corners. (+B) $350-450 748.

(HC) Ortelius’ great map of Asia was based on his wall map of 1567, which was in turn based on the work of Gastaldi and various other sources. This map was the standard map of Asia for more than forty years. The cordiform projection shows Asia extended too far to the east, an error propagated with Ptolemy. Japan is in a ‘kite’ form taken from Jesuit sources. Luzon is absent from the Philippines and the mythical lake Cayamay lacus is located in southern China. There are a great number of islands in the East Indies, but are not well placed, due to the secrecy of voyages to the region. The title is emblazoned onto a large strapwork cartouche. This is the second, re-engraved plate that was published from 1575 onwards. French text on verso with large historated “C” with figures and page number 3 at bottom Ref: Yeo #5; Van den Broecke #7. The map is very sound with a dark, early impression. The color is oxidized giving the map a distinctive antique appearance. The left margin is a little close, there are a few tiny areas of paper abrasion and one small pin hole visible when held to light. (B) $1300-1600 749. Asia (Asiae Nova Descriptio), Hondius/Le Clerc, Amsterdam, 1602. 18.8 x 14.5”. (HC) This rare map of Asia is largely based on Ortelius’ 1570 map that was the standard map of Asia for more than forty years. The cordiform projection shows Asia extended too far to the east, an error propagated with Ptolemy. Japan is in a ‘kite’ form taken from Jesuit sources. Luzon is absent from the Philippines and the mythical lake Cayamay lacus, located in southern China, spawns three south flowing rivers. One divergent feature on Hondius’ map appears on the Malaya Peninsula, which is bisected near the southern tip by a wide waterway. No such channel exists, but there was a well-established trade route across the peninsula that included a short portage between the headwaters of the Jempol and Serting Rivers. Evidently word of this trade route resulted in this erroneous feature that appeared on many Dutch maps of the region throughout the seventeenth century. The map is exquisitely engraved with a moiré patterned sea, a sailing ship and a strapwork title cartouche. This map of Asia was one of a set of individual maps of the four continents, first issued around 1589. The map was re-issued by Jean le Clerc in 1602 with his own imprint added below that of Hondius in the lower right corner. This map is much rarer than the map of nearly the same title from 1606 and we find only one dealer catalog listing in the last 20 years. Ref: Yeo #10. A fine sharp impression and original color. The map has been professionally restored in the top margin with two areas of the border and a bit of the map replaced with very skillful facsimile. The restoration is very well done and only noticeable on very close inspection or when viewed on the verso. (B) $3000-4000 750. Asia (A New Mapp of Asia Divided into Kingdoms & Provinces…), Lea & Overton, London, ca. 1690. 21.8 x 18.8”. (HC) This is a very uncommon map of the continent based on the popular map of Frederick de Wit. It is vividly rendered with good detail throughout the south and southeast reflecting the surveys of the Dutch East India Company, while northern and central Asia is filled mostly with mountains, deserts and forests and the northeast coastline is severely truncated. A detached coastline of Yedso appears to the north of Japan. The work of the Jesuit missionaries is reflected in the well-documented region of China. The title cartouche was also copied from De Wit and features a busy scene including traders with their exotic cargo. This is the second state with Philip Lea’s address at ye Atlas and Hercules in Cheapside. Several edge tears are repaired with tissue, one of which entered 1” into the cartouche. (B) $900-1100 751. Asia (L’Asie Dressee sur les observations de l’Academie Royale des Sciences), Delisle, Paris, 1700. 23.3 x 18”. (HC) This is the fist edition of Delisle’s atlas map of Asia, reduced from his important wall map. Delisle, known for his scientific cartography, leaves the region of northeastern Siberia incomplete between Novaya Zemlya and Terre d’Yeco. Japan is attached to Terre d’Yeco, which is itself attached to the mainland. A partial coastline of Terre de la Compagnie lies to the east of Japan with a reference to the alleged discoveries of Joao de Gama. The map is boldly engraved and decorated with a title cartouche featuring a procession representing the silk road commerce. Delisle’s imprint at Rue des Canettes in the cartouche. Ref: Yeo #85. Nice impression and lovely old color. There are a couple tiny edge tears, not affecting the map. (A) $700-900 752. Asia (Recentissima Asiae Delineatio, Qua Imperia, ejus Regna et Status…), Homann, Nuremberg, ca. 1730. 22.2 x 19”. (HC) This map is a revision of the elder Homann’s Asian map of circa 1712. The most important innovation is the addition of a huge Kamchatka Peninsula labeled Kamtzadalia Sinis Jeso with the southern tip marked Kurilorum Regio - an early reference to the Kuril Islands. Japan is separated from the Kamchatka Peninsula by a cluster of smaller islands. East of this archipelago, and separated from it by a narrow strait identified as the Canal de Piecko, is a coastline of Campagnie Land. Another notable difference is the depiction of the Caspian Sea based on the 1722 surveys of Karl van Verden. In South East Asia the straits between New Guinea and Australia still appear in a tentative fashion, noting Dampier’s Strait and a disembodied Carpenteria with no definite northern limit. The map is decorated with the same title cartouche as the elder Homann’s map, featuring an Asian queen holding court, but the upper cartouche has been replaced with a simple block of text. Ref: Yeo #123. Short fold separations have been repaired in the margins. (A) $550-650 753. Asia (Asia According to the Sieur D’Anville, Divided into its Empires, Kingdoms & States), Sayer, London, 1772. 47 x 20.3”. (HC) A superb, four-sheet map based on the cartography of the famous French cartographer Jean Baptiste Bourguignon d’ Anville. It provides an extremely detailed view of the continent and extends to include all of South East Asia and numerous islands of the Pacific, with emphasis on English discoveries. While Kamchatka is represented relatively accurately, there is still imprecision in the North Asian coast. The Russian discoveries appear in the vicinity of Alaska, and the Dutch discoveries are shown in the region north of Japan. The Carolines are accurately depicted on an east-west axis. Evidence of Capt. Cook’s voyage of 1770 is noted in the lower right corner in the “New Straits between New Guinea and New Holland.” The large decorative cartouche features an Asian merchant, his exotic goods, and a camel. Printed on four sheets (joined

to form two pairs) as issued. The map would measure 47 x 40.5” if joined. otherwise very good condition for a map of this size. (+B)

Original outline color. A few short fold separations (some with paper tape repairs), $600-800

754. Asia (L’Asie dressee pour l’etude de la Geographie), Brion de la Tour/Desnos, Paris, 1786. 12 x 10.5”. (HC) Very decorative map of Asia including all of Southeast Asia. The map is modeled on contemporary French sources, notably the work of Robert de Vaugondy. The seas are filled with a number of sailing ships, and there is a decorative cartouche surrounded in jungle with an elephant, peacock and a monitor lizard. An elaborate rococo border (printed from a separate plate) encloses the map. Good impression and original color. (A) $200-275 755. Asia (L’Asie Divisee en ses Empires, Royaumes, et Etats…), Elwe, Atlas Geographique et Universel, Amsterdam, 1792. 23 x 18.5”. (HC) This is an attractive, large map of Asia that includes all of Southeast Asia. The cartography is archaic for the period with the continental outline following the Sanson-Jaillot model. The island of Hokkaido is attached to the mainland as part of the Yupi peninsula and Korea is a long skinny peninsula. The mythical Lake Chiamay is shown as the source of five major rivers in Cochinchine. The decorative title and distance scale cartouches are also very similar to Jaillot’s map of 1692. Ref: Yeo #208. Sharp impression and original color with just a hint of toning along fold. There is a tiny old paper repair on the bottom fold, in the blank margin. (A) $550-650 756. Northern Asia (Tartaria), Hondius, Gerardi Mercatoris Atlas sive Cosmographicae, Amsterdam, ca. 1606. 19.5 x 13.5”. (HC) This splendid map covers all of northern Asia from Moscow to the Anian Fretum and Americae Pars. Korea is shown as an island. Illustrations include the Great Wall in China, rivers, villages, mountains etc. The newly discovered northern coastline of Nova Zembla is shown with a notation concerning the Dutch expedition led by Willem Barents in 159496. Interesting notations in Siberia, Ung quae Gog and Sumongul quae Mogog, refer to the mythological lands of Gog and Magog. These lands, noted in the Bible as being situated in the remotest parts of the earth, were originally depicted on maps just north of Israel. The map is beautifully decorated with costumed people, a camp scene and three large strapwork cartouches. It is a fabulous example of Hondius’ engraving style. German text on verso. (+A) $750-900 757. Northern Asia, Russia (Tab. II. Asiae Sarmatiam Asiaticam repraesentans), Ptolemy/Mercator, Claudii Ptolemaei’s Atlas Tabulae geographicae Orbis Terrarum, [1730]. 18 x 14”. (HC) This lovely map covers the region north of the Black and Caspian Seas as far as the Hyperborie Montes. An illustration of the Alexandrii Columne is featured near the center of the map and a group of shepherds are shown with their flock. Mercator originally published this map in his 1578 edition of Ptolemy’s great Geography. Although he is most renowned today for the projection he popularized and for first using the term Atlas for a collection of maps, he devoted much of his life to his Ptolemaic maps. The maps were beautifully engraved as nearly as possible to their original form and embellished with fine cartouches and cultural scenes. Ref: Mickwitz & Miekkavaara (Nordenskiold) #235-8. There is a small hole in the left side of the map, else very good. (B) $160-200 758. China (Xansi, e Xensi, Provincie della China…), Coronelli, Venice, ca. 1690. 24.2 x 18.3”. (HC) This map of Xansi (Shanxi) and Xensi (Shaanxi) is based on the earlier maps by Johannes Blaeu and the Jesuit Martino Martini. It is engraved in Coronelli’s bold style with intricate depictions of the terrain and includes a fine illustration of the Great Wall and the Deserto de Xamo. The map is one of six charts of the thirteen provinces of China that were prepared by Coronelli. Three elaborate cartouches grace the sheet including one fashioned from a bearskin that holds the distance scales. Faintly toned on centerfold, else very good. Narrow, but adequate top margin, as issued. (+B) $500-600 759. China (Province de Chen-Si), Anville, Nouvel atlas de la Chine, de la Tartarie chinoise and et du Thibet, Paris, ca. 1737. 20.8 x 18”.

China, Korea (A Map of China, Drawn from those of the particular Provinces made on the Spot by the Jesuit Missionaries…), Bowen, A Description of the Empire of China .…, London, [1738]. 21.8 x 18”. (BW) This is a very uncommon map of China and Korea based on D’Anville’s map of 1735 with the information derived from that collected by Jesuit Missionaries. The map is particularly unusual in that it is drawn on a stereoscopic projection and is surrounded by lists of the latitudes and longitudes of the major cities and towns in each province. The map is dedicated to the British naval hero, Edward Vernon. Issued folded, now flattened and remargined all around to accommodate framing. There is some cockling of the paper, else very good.

(HC) This copper engraved map of the region displays good topographical detail. Numerous cities are spread throughout China, however considerably fewer are shown in Korea and Japan reflecting the lack of knowledge of these regions in the late 18th century. Trade-winds are shown. (A) $140-180 768. China, Korea & Japan ([North China Incident Map]), Tokyo Daily News, [1937]. 28.5 x 18.8”. (PC) Published by Tokyo’s first daily newspaper, this unusual map depicts Japanese military campaigns in China at the outset of the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937-45), known in Japan as the North China Incident. The map shows the areas controlled by Japan (Manchuria), Chiang Kai-shek’s National Revolutionary Army, and the Red Army. Troop positions, movements, shipping lanes, bombing locations, etc.. are identified in a key at right. Running along the left border are portraits of the leaders of the National Revolutionary Army, warlords, and other major Chinese military figures. The map is filled with cartoonish icons that add another interesting element. There are some edge tears and tack holes in the upper corners of the margins and some minor loss long the folds. Overall very good for this type of ephemeral map. (+B) $140-180

769. Japan and Korea (Iaponia), Mercator/Jansson, Atlas Minor, Amsterdam, [1631]. 7.5 x 5.3”. (HC) Attractive miniature map based on Jodocus Hondius’ folio map of Japan. The map follows the Ortelius/Teixeira type for Japan, with Korea shown as an island and an explanation that its insularity is uncertain.

(HC) This panoramic view of Tokyo is one the earliest European views of the city. The city stretches across the horizon with 62 important buildings noted in the key. Illustrations of a Japanese wedding procession fill the foreground with the bride’s carriage approaching from the left and the groom’s retinue at right. The view was first published in Amsterdam in 1669 in Montanus’ chronicle of an early Dutch embassy to Japan. This is the French edition, published by Cornelius de Bruyn, with the addition of a French key. Printed on two joined sheets, as issued. There is some paper restoration in margins and at top of the engraving with a bit of the neatline in facsimile. (B) $350-450 771. Osaka, Japan (La Ville d’Osacco De Stadt Osacco), Montanus, Amsterdam, ca. 1680. 27.5 x 10.3”. (HC) Montanus’ view is the first European view of Osaka based on information obtained from one of the few European contacts with Japan during the 17th century. Kansei port is viewed from the sea with the city depicted as a large, thriving metropolis. The somewhat imaginary panorama includes a variety of sampans, fishing boats and barges in the bustling harbor. A legend keyed to the view identifies 24 specific structures. The view was first published in Amsterdam in 1669 in Montanus’s chronicle of an early Dutch embassy to Japan. This is the French edition, published by Cornelius de Bruyn, with the addition of a French title and key. Printed on two joined sheets, as issued. Fine, sharp impression with a bit of minor soil and a few extraneous creases. There is professional reinforcement on one of the folds. (+B) $400-500 772.

This is the French edition, published by Cornelius de Bruyn, with the addition of a French key at left. Printed on two joined sheets, as issued. Fine, sharp impression with a bit of minor soil. (A) $350-450 773. Japan (Iaponia), Duval/Beer, Geographiae Universalis…, Nuremberg, [1681]. 4.8 x 3.8”. (HC) This little map is important in the cartographic history of Japan as it presents a new form in the evolution of the European mapping of Japan. Duval altered the Blancus/Moreira type by changing Lake Biwa into a wide gulf, Kyushu appears as a very rugged narrow island, and Honshu takes on an exaggerated mushroom shape. This cartography was copied by several other cartographers, particularly in pocket atlases. Pierre Duval was Nicolas Sanson’s nephew and pupil. He published a wide range of atlases and individual maps including a fine miniature world geography with many of the maps based on Sanson. This map is from the German edition of Duval’s world geography. The maps were probably engraved by Sigismund G. Hipschman (as his signature appears on the title page and the world map) and have Latin titles rather than the original French. The maps are often attributed to Johann C. Beer, who translated the work into German. Ref: King (2nd ed.) pp. 144-45; Walter #48 & OAG-56. Some light foxing in blank margins and a minor crease in the map. (A) $400-500 774.

India (Description de la Partie des Indes Orientales qui est sousl a Domination du Grand Mogol), Thevenot, Relations de Divers Voyages Curieux, Paris, [1663]. 14 x 10.8”. (HC) This unusual map of northern India shows the great Mogul Empire. The map is derived from William Baffin’s map of 1619 that was based on Sir Thomas Roe’s travels as ambassador to the Mogul court. The map is beautifully engraved with major cities located and the tree-line road between Lahor and Agra (Delhi) prominently depicted. The insignia of the Mogul Emperor is shown in the top right corner, consisting of two rings, one below the other. The first ring encloses a lion facing the east, which partially obscures a blazing sun. The ring below encloses the Mogul genealogy, in nine circles concluding with Jehangir. Ref: Moorland & Bannister p. 131. There is a repaired tear in the bottom margin and a bit of minor soil in the map. (A) $375-475 778. India (Tab. X. Asiae, Compectens Indiam intra Gangem), Ptolemy/Mercator, Claudii Ptolemaei Tabulae Geographicae Orbis Terrarum…, [1730]. 18 x 13.2”. (HC) This map presents the Ptolemaic view of India. The Himalayan Mountains stretch across the top of the map and the Indus and Ganges river systems are well delineated. However, the subcontinent is considerably shortened and lacks nearly the entire southern part of India. The northern tip of Taprobana (Sri Lanka) appears at bottom. Mercator originally published this map in his 1578 edition of Ptolemy’s great Geography. Although he is most renowned today for the projection he popularized and for first using the term Atlas for a collection of maps, he devoted much of his life to his Ptolemaic maps. The maps were beautifully engraved as nearly as possible to their original form and embellished with fine cartouches. Ref: Mickwitz & Miekkavaara (Nordenskiold) #235-16.

A pair of deftly engraved compass roses and a decorative cartouche complete the composition. Fine impression and superb original color. (+A) $400-475 780. India ([2 Sheets] A Map of Bengal, Bahar, Oude & Allahabad with Part of Agra and Delhi Exhibiting the Course of the Ganges from Hurdwar to the Sea), Rennell, London, 1838. 21 x 28”. (HC) This impressive, large-scale map covers the region from Delhi to the boundary with Assam. It is filled with an incredible amount of detail and adorned by a large title cartouche featuring a river god, wild animals and native peoples. The map was originally drawn by James Rennell, the Surveyor General of the East India Company and published by Faden in 1786. This is the second edition, published by James Wyld, successor to William Faden. Wyld maintained the high standard of graphic and factual excellence that had been established by his predecessor and his maps are among the finest published in the early nineteenth century. Printed on two sheets, unjoined, as issued; size is for each sheet. Original outline color with just a hint of offsetting, else fine. (A)$275-350 781. India and Sri Lanka (Narsinga et Ceylon), Langenes, Caert-thresoor, Amsterdam, [1598]. 4.8 x 3.3”. (HC) Petrus Kaerius engraved this early miniature map of southern India and Ceylon. Narsinga, referred to as the Kingdom of Bisnaga by the Portuguese, was the Hindu Vijayanagara Empire that controlled southern India. This is the scarce first state without degrees of latitude in the borders. Dutch text on verso. Ref: King (2nd ed.) pp. 80-82. The margins have been trimmed but are still ample. There is general surface soil in the map and margins. (B) $180-230 782. Sri Lanka (Sumatra ein Grosse Insel so von den Geographen Taprobana ist genennt worden), Munster, Cosmographiae…, Basel, ca. 1570. 13.5 x 10”. (BW) This is a great woodblock map of the island of Taprobana, which was variously thought to be Ceylon (Sri Lanka) or Sumatra until late in the sixteenth century. This map depicts Ceylon with the typical misconceptions of Ptolemy showing a small part of India incorrectly in the northeast corner of the map. A most interesting feature of the map is the large engraving of an elephant beneath a tree that was copied from Gastaldi with descriptive text in a cartouche below. The elephant is shown with large padded feet and a scoop on the end of its trunk. Nice impression with a few stains in the margins and map border. There is a small binding hole in top margin, not affecting the map. (+B) $300-350

783. Sri Lanka (Asiae XII Tab:), Ptolemy/Mercator, Claudii Ptolemaei Alexandrini Geographiae…, [1605]. 14 x 13.5”. (HC) For this map of Toprobana, Ptolemy drew on the accounts of travelers and sailors and though the information was secondhand and often inaccurate, it represented the most advanced account of the world’s geography at that time. This map depicts the island with the typical misconceptions of the period with the island straddling the Equator and nearly divided by a ridge of mountains. A small part of India is incorrectly shown in the northeast corner of the map and a spurious coastline labeled Gangem fills the upper right corner. The stipple engraved sea contains an oriental ship and two great sea monsters. This is from the original plate without the decorative title cartouche. The cartouche at lower right identifies the location of the island and a mapmaker is perched on one of the elaborate straps. Ref: Mickwitz & Miekkavaara (Nordenskiold) #229-28. There is a fold separation and small tear in the map at bottom. There is a small chip in the top margin and a couple tiny worm holes. (B) $250-350 784. Sri Lanka (Ins. Ceilan quae incolis Tenarisin dicitur), Mercator/Hondius, Amsterdam, ca. 1606. 19.5 x 13.5”. (HC) This exquisite, early map of Sri Lanka is shown with an unusual five-sided shape. North is oriented to the left by an elaborate compass rose. The map was beautifully engraved by Petrus Plancius with pictorial detail of mountains, roads, forests, villages, kingdoms, mines, stupas and spice plantations. It is embellished with three strapwork cartouches and further adorned with a finely rendered sailing ship and animals roaming the interior (including a large elephant with his manhout). Latin text on verso. Pleasantly toned with superb original color in the unique color palette of the early Mercator/Hondius editions. There are some minor repairs in the blank margins.

Southeast Asia (Isole Molucche), Porcacchi, L’Isole piu Famose del Mondo, Venice, [1572]. 5.6 x 4”. (HC) This map of the Southeast Asia and the East Indies illustrates how very little was actually known of the region in the sixteenth century. Beautifully engraved by G. Porro, the map is based on Gastaldi’s 1548 map. The Malaysian Peninsula is distorted and Sumatra is a huge triangular shaped island. The Cebu and Mindanao lie to the east of Luzon in the Philippines, and a misshapen Borneo is named Iava Menor (Java Minor). The famous Spice Islands are unrecognizable save for several names such as Ambom (Ambon) and Tereneta (Ternate). On a full sheet (8 x 11.5”) of Italian text. Ref: King (2nd ed.) pp. 57-59.

Southeast Asia (Indiae Orientalis, Insularumque Adiacientium Typus), Ortelius, Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, Antwerp, ca. 1601. 19.7 x 13.7”. (HC) Ortelius’ important map of Southeast Asia shows how sketchy the available information was concerning the region. The East Indies are presented as a randomly scattered archipelago with Java and Borneo particularly misshapen. Taiwan is mapped for the first time as I. Fermosa in the ‘tail’ of kite-shaped Japan’s Lequaio islands. The fictitious Chyamai lacus is the source of a network of rivers in Southeast Asia. Beach pars, a presumed promontory of the great southern continent based on Marco Polo’s account, protrudes into the bottom of the map. In the upper right corner, America makes an appearance with the three coastal cities of Quivira, Cicuie, and Tiguex. Near the shore lies a ship being menaced by a pair of sea monsters, while twin mermaids preen before each other. Latin text on verso. Ref: Van den Broecke #166; Suarez, pp 164-69.

(HC) Charming miniature map covering of the Indochinese Peninsula and northern Sumatra. Pierre Duval was Nicolas Sanson’s nephew and pupil. He published a wide range of atlases and individual maps including a fine miniature world geography with many of the maps based on Sanson. This map is from the German edition of Duval’s world geography. The maps were probably engraved by Sigismund G. Hipschman (as his signature appears on the title page and the world map) and have Latin titles rather than the original French. The maps are often attributed to Johann C. Beer, who translated the work into German. (+A) $160-200 791.

(BW) This beautifully engraved, and important map of Southeast Asia covers from the southern part of the Indochinese Peninsula through to the northern coastline of Java and the eastern part of Borneo. The map is filled with information including extensive soundings along coastlines and historical notations. The map is the result of France’s first embassy to Southeast Asia in 1685, which was led by Chevalier de Chaumont in the company of six Jesuit fathers. The route of the embassy is noted on the map. The title cartouche is engraved onto a blanket-draped elephant. Ref: Suarez (SEA) #126, pp 213-216. The paper has some water damage and paper loss that has been expertly restored with two letters in Zirbadad replaced in neat facsimile (at upper right). The paper is stable and it is an attractive map that would present well when framed. (B) $4000-4500 792. Southeast Asia (Le Royaume de Siam avec les Royaumes qui luy sont Tributaires et les Isles de Sumatra Andemaon etc. …), Chatelain, Atlas Historique…, Amsterdam, ca. 1719. 16.7 x 14.5”. (HC) This finely detailed and beautifully engraved map of South East Asia shows the Kingdom of Siam (Thailand), the Malaysian Peninsula and the islands of Borneo, Sumatra and Java. This was the domain of the Dutch East Indies Company (V.O.C.) who made their headquarters in Batavia (Jakarta) on the island of Java. Ship routes from Batavia to Siam are noted. The map is based on the Jaillot/Mortier map that was derived largely from the accounts of the French Jesuit mission to Siam in 1685-86. Ref: Parry, p. 198. Sharp impression.

The Philippines map describes many place names on the islands, and shows a bit of Borneo at the bottom and some of China’s southern coastline at the top. It is decorated with a compass rose and fleur-de-lis. Two distance scales. Engraved by Antoine d’Winter. Very nice example that is near fine in the map image but has a little marginal soiling or staining. The upper right corner tip has small area missing, well away from map and at upper left in border area is a small area of paper thinness visible when held to the light. (A) $300-350 795. East Indies - Indonesia (Moluccae Insulae Celeberrimae), Hondius/Blaeu, Amsterdam, ca. 1640. 19.3 x 14.8”. (HC) Superb map of the Spice Islands based on the islands described by Jan Huyghen van Linschoten. This map was the first large-scale map of the region and depicts the islands that provided, first the Portuguese and then the Dutch with a monopoly on the lucrative spice trade. Each of the islands is shown with groves of the prized clove and nutmeg trees and the location of their protective fortresses. Originated by Jodocus Hondius, the plate was purchased by Blaeu in 1629. One of the very decorative cartouches encloses an inset map of Bachian Island. Rhumb lines, calligraphy, two compass roses, various types of sailing ships, and sea monsters further enrich this engaging sheet. Dutch text on verso. Ref: Goss (Blaeu) #196.

(HC) Uncommon bird’s-eye view of the Dutch fort and trading post at Palembang in Sumatra. Nieuhoff accompanied a delegation of the Dutch East India Company (VOC) to the Emperor of China between 1655 to 1658. After his return he published his journals and provided the European public with one of the first richly illustrated books describing the exotic Orient. Light soil on centerfold with a split in the blank margin. (+B) $140-180 798. East Indies - Sumatra (Karte von dem Eylande Sumatra), Bellin, Paris, ca. 1752. 11.3 x 9.6”.

Africa 801. Africa (La Description d’Affricque selon les Divers Pais. Animaux & Monstres Horribles), Munster, Cosmographiae, Basel, ca. 1550. 6.3 x 5”. (HC) This small woodblock map of the continent excludes the Horn of Africa and the Cape of Good Hope. It concentrates on the many kingdoms of Central and North Africa and depicts the Nile’s origins in twin lakes located near the Motes Lunae. On a sheet (7.5 x 12”) of French text with a woodcut illustration on the verso of the wild animals purportedly found on the continent (including a unicorn). Ref: Norwich #5. (A) $250-325 802. Africa (Africa / Lybia / Moerenland / mit allen Konigreichen…), Munster, Cosmographia, Basel, ca. 1578. 13.5 x 10”. (HC) This is one of the first modern maps of the whole continent. The Ptolemaic geography, with large rivers and convoluted mountains, is augmented from Portuguese and Arabic sources. From the Portuguese comes Caput Bonespei (Cape of Good Hope) and a small group of islands off the eastern coast named Zaphala Aurifodina that were supposedly the region from which King Solomon imported gold and silver. The Arab kingdoms of Quiola and Melinde appear in eastern Africa and Hamarich, the capital of the mythical Christian king Prester John, is shown at the confluence of the twin sources of the Nile. The island of Madagascar is strangely absent, even though its presence was known from the time of Marco Polo. The map is illustrated with crowns and scepters, forests, parrots, an elephant, a Cyclops (Monoculi) and a large galleon under full sail. The strapwork cartouche contains a text description of the continent. The German title is above the map. Ref: Betz #3; Norwich #2; Tooley (AF) #9. The impression is a bit uneven and there are a couple tiny worm holes on the upper centerfold and a couple binding holes in the blank margins. (+B) $1200-1500 803. Africa (Africae Tabula Nova), Ortelius, Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, Antwerp, 1570. 19.7 x 14.7”. (HC) This striking map is one of the cornerstone maps of Africa and remained the standard map of Africa well into the seventeenth century. It was designed by Ortelius from elements of contemporary maps by Gastaldi, Mercator, and Forlani and used several recent sources: Ramusio in Navigationi et Viaggi (1550), Joao de Barros in Decadas da Asia (1552), and Leo Africanus in Historiale description de l’Afrique (1556). The majority of the nomenclature is taken from Gastaldi. The Nile is based on the Ptolemaic concept, originating from two large lakes south of the equator. Curiously Ortelius did not represent the Mountains of the Moon (a prominent feature on most prior maps) and the twin lakes are not named. Ortelius introduced two important changes to the shape of the continent on this map; the Cape of Good Hope is more pointed, and the eastward extension of the continent was reduced significantly. The map is decorated with a strap work title cartouche, a grand sea battle (copied from Diego Gutierez’ wall map of the Americas), and sea monsters. A ghostly images of a sea monster off the Arabian Peninsula is visible, which is only seen on early impressions. This beautiful map was engraved by Frans Hogenberg who engraved many of the maps for the Theatrum. This is from an early Latin edition with Latin text on verso. Ref: Betz #12.2; Van de Broecke #8; Norwich #10 :Tooley (AF) p. 88. There is some toning and the old color has oxidized but the paper is not brittle. The centerfold has been repaired and reinforced with Japanese tissue. (B) $2000-2400 804. Africa (Africae Descriptio Nova Impensis), Seile, Cosmographie, London, 1652. 16.8 x 13”. (HC) This map appeared in the first edition of Peter Heylin’s popular Cosmographie that was published by Henry Seile. It is a close copy of John Speed’s map of the continent from 1626, including much of the decorative elements. The Nile is shown with its origin in the vicinity of the Congo and conforms to the Ptolemaic concept of rivers from Lake Zaire and Lake Zaflan joining to form the mighty river. The course of the Niger River is incorrectly shown and there are many fictitious lakes in Central Africa. Engraved by William Trevethen, with his signature at lower left. This is the very uncommon first state. Ref: Betz #83.1; Norwich #36. Remargined at bottom (as maps from this source are often found with defective margins), with some minor paper restoration at lower centerfold not affecting the engraved surface. (+B) $900-1200 805. Africa (L’Afrique Divisee Suivant l’Estendue de ses Principales Parties…), Sanson/Jaillot, Paris, 1674. 35 x 21.5”. (HC) This striking map is the rare first state of Jaillot’s map of the continent and is a larger version of Sanson’s maps of 1650 and 1668. Engraved by Cordier, it is one of the early works in the collaboration between Sanson and Jaillot. The source of the Nile is shown emanating from two lakes below the equator. This map introduces a new depiction of the rivers south of these Ptolemaic lakes. The Zambeze River appears above the Zambere and Rio de Spiritu Santo, all of which flow into the Indian Ocean. A large section of South America is shown and two St. Helena islands appear - a common error in maps from this period. The large distance scale cartouche has six scales. The very large and decorative title cartouche includes a tumult of figures, cornucopias, elephant, crocodile, lion and ostrich under the coat of arms of the Dauphin. Two sheets joined, as issued. This important map of the continent was copied by several other cartographers including Pieter Mortier and Marc Huguetan, who published their own edition of Jaillot’s Atlas Nouveau in 1692, with Jaillot’s imprint instead of their own. Ref: Betz #118.1; Norwich #46, Tooley (AF) p.56, plt. #41. Minor soil and edge tears in margins. The joint has been reinforced with linen on verso. (+B) $2500-3000 806. Africa (Africae, described, the manners of their habits, and buildings…), Speed, A Prospect of the Most Famous Parts of the World, London, [1676]. 20.3 x 15.5”. (HC) This decorative map is the first map of Africa prepared by an English cartographer. It is based closely on the maps of Jodocus Hondius and Willem Blaeu. It presents a typical, early seventeenth century view of the continent with the interior filled with fictitious mountains, rivers and lakes. The origin of the Nile conforms to the Ptolemaic tradition of the large twin lakes in the southern part of the continent. The kingdom of Monomotapa occupies a large region in southern Africa. There are numerous interesting notations, including several concerning where gold can be found. The English text on verso provides a fascinating view of the European concept concerning the wildlife, customs and manners of the African people. There is a description of Anthropophagi, cannibals, who kill their own babies to avoid the trouble of raising them; but, in order to preserve their race, steal children from their neighbors. The beautiful carte-a-figures border features natives in their tribal costumes. At top is a panel of panoramas and plans illustrating Tanger, Ceuta, Alger, Tunis, Alexandria, Cairo (Alca), Mozambique and the Canaries. Finely engraved by Abraham Goos, with his signature at lower left, and published by Bassett and Chiswell. Ref: Betz #62.3; Norwich #30; Tooley (AF) pp.113-14. Nice impression on faintly toned paper.

Africa (Carte d’Afrique Dressee pour l’usage du Roy par Guillaume Delisle…), Delisle/Covens & Mortier, Amsterdam, ca. 1730. 24.5 x 19”. (HC) This is the Covens & Mortier edition of Delisle’s second map of the continent (1722). Delisle’s first map of 1700 was a landmark in the mapping of the continent; the first to show the Nile’s source in Lake Tana, rather than on the Ptolemaic concept, and the first to correctly show the width of the northern shape of Africa. In this updated map, Lake Maravi (Malawi) in Central Africa appears for the first time, and the Senegal and Niger Rivers are correctly separated. The major kingdoms and tribes are shown. Two decorative cartouches grace the map, and a Latin title appears in the top margin, Africa Accurate in Imperia, Regna, Status & Populos Divisa… Ref: Betz p. 498; Norwich #78; Tooley #70.

The Nile is still shown with its headwaters in two lakes located in the Mounts of the Moon above the equator. Ref: Tooley (MCC-47) p.28. Some offsetting and light toning. (B) $150-200 810. Africa (L’Afrique Divisee en ses Empires, Royaumes, et Etats…), Elwe, Atlas Geographique et Universel, Amsterdam, 1792. 23 x 18”. (HC) This handsome, large map of Africa was copied from Jaillot’s popular and influential map from more than a century earlier (1674). The cartography is typical for the seventeenth century with the Nile originating in two large lakes below the equator. The River Zaire (Congo) also arises from Lake Zaire. The Kingdom of Monomotapa is shown with its capital on the Rio de Spirito Santa, and Vigiti Magna is also depicted. The map is richly embellished, also in the seventeenth century style, with two elaborate cartouches. Ref: Norwich #109. Crisp impression and lovely old color with an insignificant light spot in the Atlantic. (A) $500-600 811.

III Africae, in qua Cyrenaica, Marmarica, ac Lybia Exterior), Ptolemy/Mercator, Claudii Ptolemaei’s Atlas Tabulae geographicae Orbis Terrarum, ca. 1730. 18.8 x 13.3”. (HC) Great Ptolemaic map of eastern Libya and Egypt with numerous ancient place names, particularly along the course of the Nile. The interior is filled with fanciful animals and monsters including a superb dragon. Mercator originally published this map in his 1578 edition of Ptolemy’s great Geography. Although he is most renowned today for the projection he popularized and for first using the term Atlas for a collection of maps, he devoted much of his life to his Ptolemaic maps. The maps were beautifully engraved as nearly as possible to their original form and embellished with fine cartouches. There is evidence of plate crack near cartouche. Ref: Mickwitz & Miekkavaara (Nordenskiold) #235-4. There is expert paper restoration of a small section of the Mediterranean Sea in the upper right corner with facsimile of the stippling in the sea. The work is extremely well done and only visible on very close inspection. (A) $150-200 813. Northern Africa (Carte Detailee ... de L’Afrique et des Iles qui en Dependent), Brue, Atlas Universel, Paris, 1828. 20 x 14.2”. (HC) A superb early 19th century map of the northern half of Africa.

Large inset depicts Abyssinia and there is a smaller inset of the Cape Verde Islands. The sheet is decorated with a keyboard style border, embellished titling and a great embossed seal of Brue. The map image is fine with a beautiful impression and lovely original outline coloring on thick paper. The very wide margins have a little staining at top, otherwise overall fine. (A) $100-140 814. Northwestern Africa (Fessae Regnum), Mercator/Hondius, Atlas Minor, Amsterdam, ca. 1620. 7.5 x 6”. (HC) This charming small map of Morocco and Algeria extends south to Beninia and Nussini.

Nice impression and color with some toning in the blank margins, ink line in lower margin. One very small worm hole in blank part of image near Conte, else fine. (A) $150-200 816. Cairo, Egypt (Cairus, quae olim Babylon; Aegypti Maxima urbs), Braun & Hogenberg, Civitates Orbis Terrarum, part I, Cologne, ca. 1572. 19 x 13”. (HC) This striking bird’s-eye view of Cairo and the surrounding countryside includes depictions of the pyramids and the Sphinx. Several people are depicted in the foreground including a cavalry engaged in exercises, travelers on the roads, veiled women and a man picking dates. Boats and crocodiles fill the Nile River. A legend describing the view is enclosed in a strapwork cartouche at bottom right. The text above the view of the pyramids reflects the disdain with which the non-Christian nations were viewed at the time. “These pyramids were nothing but an idle display of royal wealth. In this way the kings, or rather the crowned beasts, namely hoped to make their names immortal on earth and to keep their memory alive for a long time. Nothing in the world is of less fame, however, since neither the architect nor the insane king who built a pyramid is recorded.” This is one of the few views of cities outside of Europe that were included in the Civitates. Latin text on verso. Ref: Fussel pp.131-32. There are some worm holes in bottom margin and faint toning on the fold. (A) $900-1100 817. Egypt (Aegyptus Antiqua), Fuller, Pisgah-Sight of Palestine…, London, ca. 1650. 13.3 x 11.3”. (HC) This delightfully illustrated map is from what R.V. Tooley described as “the most quaint and decorative series of maps.” Covering ancient Egypt, the map is filled with pictorial illustrations and is embellished with an elaborate coat of arms and dedication to Henry Neville. Thomas Fuller (1608-1661) was a respected English clergyman who wrote several books on the history and geography of the Holy Land. His A Pisgah-Sight of Palestine, published in 1650, was a geographical description of the Holy Land with special reference to biblical history. Fuller financed the book by dividing it into sections and finding sponsors for each one. To acknowledge the patrons, all maps contained decorative cartouches with the sponsor’s coat of arms and a dedication. Ref: Tooley (Maps and Mapmakers) p. 104. (A) $250-300 818.

821. Eastern Africa (A Description of Aegypt from Cair downeward), Pigafetta, London, [1597]. 17.3 x 24.5”. (BW) This is John Wolfe’s rare English edition of Pigafetta’s important map that was significant in the mapping of the African continent. The map covers the eastern part of the continent and takes a major deviation from the long-held Ptolemaic beliefs concerning the source of the Nile. In this depiction, the Ptolemaic side-by-side lakes in the Mountains of the Moon are replaced by two large lakes in central Africa. The lakes are on a north-south axis with the northern one being the source of the Nile. These lakes, connected by a river, form the source of virtually the entire continental river system, spawning rivers that flow into the Atlantic and Indian oceans and the Mediterranean Sea. The large cartouche includes an extensive key and Wolfe’s armorial imprint is in another cartouche at lower right. The map is beautifully engraved in the Italian style with a stippled sea that is filled with sailing ships and fantastic sea monsters. Pigafetta’s map was an important source on central Africa and the Congo for subsequent mapmakers. The map is the result of the travels of the Portuguese explorer, Duarte Lopes, who journeyed through the Kingdom of the Congo from 1578 to 1587. On his return to Europe, he went to Rome to make a report to Pope Sixtus V and met Filippo Pigafetta who compiled the information and published Relatione del reame di Congo in 1591. The work was immediately popular and translations soon appeared in Dutch, English, Latin, and German. This is from the English edition published by John Wolfe, with the map engraved by William Rogers. Printed on two joined sheets, as issued. Ref: Betz pp. 34-35; Norwich #23. Issued folded and trimmed close, as is common. The map is backed with paper repairing several paper weaknesses and small holes. There is some uneven toning throughout. (+C) $5000-6000 822.

Published by Edward Orme, publisher to King George III. Aquatint, the most delicate of all engraving forms, is capable of showing gradual tonal qualities, something no other engraving process is capable of reproducing. The aquatint process is more correctly referred to as etching rather than engraving.

(HC) This is a complete and overall fine example of Vandermaelen’s North American volume (Fourth of Six). Each large folio map is double-page and measures approximately 25” x 20”. The first is the index map, “Carte D’Assemblage de L’Americque Septentle.” that shows the extent of every map within North America and Central America with the map number.

The complete atlas contains 79 charts, each surrounded by a bold keyboard-style border. Bound in original brown speckled boards with half brown calf on tip and spine with raised ribs. Original red and black leather labels on spine with gilt title and volume information. Two title pages. The second credits the lithography to H. Ode of Paris. Vandermaelen was the son of a wealthy industrialist who abandoned his father’s business to follow a career in cartography. His goal was to produce the first atlas ever published in which every map was drawn on the same projection and to the same scale (1: 1,641,836), with each map covering an area of approximately 20 degrees of longitude (from Paris) and 6 degrees of latitude. Because of the consistent scale and projection, the maps could be joined together to form a huge globe that would measure over 25 feet in diameter. Vandermaelen had the only known globe constructed from his maps, requiring a special room for its display. It was also the first lithographic atlas ever published. There was one edition of the atlas, published in 1825-27, and the subscription list shows that only 810 copies were sold. A rare and remarkable atlas, complete in all regards, that should be in any serious atlas collection. Ref: Phillips (A) No. 749; Wheat (TMW) #378.
