EUROPE 73 Rare Intermediate State Revised For The Wars Of The French Directory STOCKDALE, John. 'A NEW MAP OF ZEALAND; with the RIVERS SCHELDE, part of HOLLAND, FLANDERS & BRABANT; Shewing the Situation of the SCHELDE the Present SUBJECT OF DISPUTE. [rule] London, Publishd as the Act directs Nov.r 29; 1792 by Jn.o Stockdale Piccadilly. London: John Stockdale, Novr. 29 1792; copperplate engraving, border: 410 x 524 platemark: 440 x 560mm, in original wash and outline colour. Evidence of the old folds, some browing, but overall a nice example. Very scarce broadsheet map. This second state has the title re-engraved for sale as a map of the theatre of war between French and Austrians. On 6th November 1792, the French defeated the Austrians at the Battle of Jemappes, winning control of the Austrian Netherlands. This victory brought the French and Dutch into conflict over commercial use of the Scheldt River. Although a relatively minor matter in itself, this dispute helped bring Britain into the war with France. £400 74 Rare Broadsheet Map Of The "Great Expedition" LUFFMAN, John. 'GRAND EXPEDITION. A MAP of the TEXEL and VLIETER ROADS with the COUNTRY of HOLLAND as far south as the HAGUE: Intended to Illustrate the Operations of the Grand Expedition; By, JOHN LUFFMAN, Geog.r Plain Price 1.s Col.d 1.s 6.' 'London: Engraved & Published Sept.r 14, 1799, by J. LUFFMAN, N.o 2, Inner Sweetings Alley, Royal Exchange. Of whom may be had a variety of interesting Engrav'd Calculations, Maps, &c.' London: John Luffman: Septr 14 1799; copperplate engraving, border: 374 x 288 widest: 395 x 290 platemark: 402 x 305 mm, in original wash colour. Rare map of the British attack on Texel Island in 1799, intended to secure control over the waters around the island. General Sir Ralph Abercromby landed near Callardstoog on the 27th August; the next day he captured Helder Fortress, and gained control of the island. On 30th August, Admirals Duncan and Mitchell captured the Dutch ships caught in the Nieuwediep and the Vlieter Channels. COPAC records only the British Library example. £400 75 LUFFMAN, John. 'GRAND EXPEDITION. A MAP of the TEXEL and VLIETER ROADS with the COUNTRY of HOLLAND as far south as the HAGUE: Intended to Illustrate the Operations of the Grand Expedition; By, JOHN LUFFMAN, Geog.r.' 'Published by Bunney & Gold Nov.r 1.st 1799.' London: [John Walton or Wharton] Bunney & [Joyce] Gold, Nov.r 1.st 1799; copperplate engraving, border: 374 x 288 widest: 395 x 290 platemark: 402 x 305 mm, in black and white. Tear from the binding stub restored, otherwise a good example. A second state of the previous map. After the initial success, the Duke of York assumed command. When French reinforcements came up, the Duke was forced to sign a convention, evacuating the army in early October. It seems likely that with news of the defeat, Luffman promptly sold this plate to Bunney and Gold, who republished it, with their imprint, in the 'Navy Chronicle'. £200 76 Rare Map Showing The Scene Of A Disastrous Expedition LUFFMAN, John. 'MAP OF THE ISLAND OF WALCHEREN WITH THE FORTIFICATIONS &c.' 'London, Published by J. Stratford N.o 112, Holborn Hill, Feb.y 10: 1810.' London: James Stratford, Feby. 10 1810; copperplate engraving, border: 231 x 192 widest: 240 x 192 platemark: 276 x -mm, in black and white. A good example. In 1809, the British Government sent an expeditionary force to Walcheren to seize the port of Flushing, and from there attack Antwerp. Flushing was captured after a two-day siege (13th-15th August). However, in the confines of the island an epidemic of 'Walcheren fever' broke out. 60 officers and 3,900 men died of the fever, and many thousands more were struck down with symptoms, compelling the British to withdraw, with Flushing finally abandoned on 25th December 1809. Although unsigned, this map is clearly by Luffman; it carries no military information beyond the landing sites, so it was probably published in early August, and the plate sold to Stratford, a book-publisher, after the ignominious end of the expedition. £250 60
77 Rare Map Of Germany And Eastern Europe During The Napoleonic War LAURIE & WHITTLE. 'A NEW MAP OF THE SEAT OF WAR, Comprehending GERMANY; POLAND, WITH ITS DISMEMBERMENTS, PRUSSIA; TURKEY in Europe ITALY &c, From the Maps of Chauchard, Zannoni, &c.

Split to one fold restored, otherwise a good example of the map, in fine original wash colour. Very detailed and large map of Germany, Eastern and Southern Europe, designed as wall-map on which interested people could trace the lines of march of Napoleon's campaigns, and place the great battles being won and lost. This second state has, apparently, been updated since the first printing, to show the new boundaries established by Napoleon's victories. COPAC records only the British Library example of the 1807 state. £1,000 61 EUROPE
