Very scarce map of the theatre of war in Bohemia, during the Seven Years' War. The map is interesting as being signed by the publisher, Thomas Jefferys Sr. He explained this on the engraved slipcase label found with dissected versions of the map: '... N.B. As the Public was greatly impressed upon, and myself much injured, by a Pirated Copy of my Pocket Mirror for North America, I have written my Name upon every Copy of this Map, to prevent the like Imposition, and injury'. COPAC records only the two examples in the British Library. £300 82 Rare Map Of Hungary In The First State, Not Recorded Thus By Szantai PALMER, Richard.

With the vignette views this is the most decorative, and among the rarest, English maps of the region. This state not recorded in Szantai: Atlas Hungaricus, but cf. I, Lea 1, the second state. £1,800 64
83 Detailed Plan Of The Battle BOTELER, John Harvey. 'The HARBOUR of NAVARIN, with a Plan of the Battle on the 20.th OCT.R 1827. by J.H. Boteler L.t of H.M.S. Albion.' 'W. Read sc.'

The Battle of Navarino was fought between a joint Anglo-French-Russian fleet and an Ottoman-Egyptian fleet on 20th October 1827. The opposing fleets are shown at the commencement of the action, with the allied ships linked to the key. This very detailed plan, evidently a book-plate, was drawn by an eye-witness to the battle. A table lists the ships, and ships' complements, of the allied fleet, while a panel of text gives a detailed analysis of the fate of the ships of the Turco-Egyptian squadron. £250 84 HEBERT, Laurence.

Small but detailed map, in three sections, of the disastrous French retreat from Moscow, drawn by Louis Hebert, a mapmaker employed in the British Army's Quarter Master General's Office. The map was engraved by Milton for 'An Illustrated Record of Important Events in the Annals of Europe ...', published by Bowyer in 1815. £200 85 Rare Birds-Eye View / Plan Of The Mouth Of The Dnieper PACKER, Thomas. 'PANORAMIC VIEW OF KINBURN SPIT & FORT, PORT OTCHAKOFF, & FORT NICOLAIEFF. PANORAMA DE KINBURN ET DES FORTS, DE D'OCKZAKOFF, ET LE FORT NICOLAIEFF.' 'Lith.d from a Sketch by an Officer of H.M.S.

SINNETT EDITEUR D'ESTAMPES PASSAGE COLBERT ROTUNDE N.o 10 PARIS.' 'N.o 23' London: Stannard & Dixon, Octr. 30 1855; lithograph, border: 455 x 685 widest: 504 x 685mm, printed in colour. Printed on thick paper, the centrefold split, two tears into the map restored, several short tears in lower border restored. The Battle of Kinburn, on October 17, 1855, was an attack by a joint Anglo-French naval force on a Russian fort guarding the mouth of the Dnieper river estuary (modern Ukraine). The battle is regarded as early evidence of the importance of ironclad ships. The French ironclads pounded the fort to destruction in four hours, and yet suffered only minor casualties in the process because their armoured hulls were able to withstand the defensive fire of the Russians. Not recorded thus on COPAC. £300 65 EUROPE
