Title Pages, <strong>World</strong> Maps, Globes & Miscellaneous
1. Portrait ([Portrait of Jan Huyghen van Linschoten]), Bry, Petites Voyages, Frankfurt, [1599]. 4 x 5.5”. (BW) Handsome portrait of the famous explorer
Linschoten (1563-1610), who worked in the service of the Portugese Archbishop of Goa. Linschoten’s mapping of Southeast Asia broke the stranglehold
that the Portugese had on spice trade in that region. Printed on a full page with German text, 7.8 x 12". <strong>The</strong> portait is near fine with a light dampstain
in the lower, blank margin. (A) $180-220
2. Portrait (Francisco Pisarro), Montanus, De Nieuwe en Onbekende Wereld, Amsterdam, [1671]. 7 x 11.5”. (BW) Striking, copper engraved portrait of
the Spanish explorer who conquered the Inca Empire. <strong>The</strong> portrait is enclosed in an elaborately engraved frame with a battle scene in the background. <strong>The</strong>
map has a couple of spots of foxing and an abraded area to the left of Pisarro, still a nice aexample. (B) $130-160
3. Title Pages (Globus Terraqueus Ecclesiastico Politicus…), Scherer, Munich, ca. 1703. 7.3 x 9.2”. (HC) Stunning and inventive title page drawn by Johann
Degler and engraved by Leonard Heckenauer. <strong>The</strong> page features the hand of God suspending the world from a cross attached at the Pole. <strong>The</strong> surrounding
heavens are filled with winsome cherubs, some of whom hold crowns and the hats of popes, cardinals and bishops, with allegorical representations of the
continents of Europe, Asia, Africa and America. All of the continental figures hold a map, with the one representing the Americas featuring California as
an island. Ref: McLaughlin TP #9. Sharp impression with attractive later color. (A) $325-400
4. Title Pages (Atlas General Methodique et Elementaire pour l’Etude de la Geographie et de l’Histoire Moderne…), Desnos, Paris, 1770. 19.8 x 14.3”. (HC)
A beautifully engraved title page filled with many allegorical figures including cherubic geographers with maps, globes, telescopes and other mapmaking aids,
overseen by the figure of Europa. Apollo rides across the eastern sky in his sun-chariot, chasing off an allegorical figure of Night with her canopy of stars,
and in the background rest the Pyramids and a classical Greek temple. <strong>The</strong> foreground is filled with well rendered flowers, books and maps. Sharp impression
with some light surface soil. (A) $200-300
5. Title Pages (Atlante Novissimo Tomo l), Zatta, Venice, 1779. 17 x 12.5”. (HC) Very dramatic title page featuring many allegorical figures. Apollo drives
his sun-chariot across the sky at the left, while cherubs and Urania, the muse of Astronomy, engage in cartographic pursuits with armillary spheres, telescopes,
compasses and globes. <strong>The</strong> royal figure of Europa presides over the scene with the winged lion of Venice at her feet. Engraved by G. Zuliani. Sharp impression
with later color that shows a little on the verso. (A) $200-250
6. <strong>World</strong> & Continents ([Lot of 5] Typus Orbis Terrarum [and] America [and] Asia [and] Africa [and] Europa), Bertius, Tabularum Geographicarum,
Amsterdam, [1602-06]. 5 x 3.3”. (HC) A superb set of miniature maps from this popular pocket atlas. <strong>The</strong> attribution of these maps is confusing and
different references attribute them variously to Langenes, Claesz, Bertius, Hondius and Van den Keere (Kaerius); all in fact are correct. Langenes was the
printer, Claesz the publisher, Bertius wrote the text for the Latin editions, and the plates were engraved by Hondius and Van den Keere. This set is from
a Latin edition attributed to Bertius, published between 1602 and 1606.
1) Typus Orbis Terrarum is an oval world map set in a strapwork surround, with cartography based on Ortelius. Hondius’ signature appears at the bottom.
2) <strong>The</strong> map of the Americas also follows Ortelius in outline and is set in a strapwork background. This is the first state without Tierra del Fuego.
3) Asiae shows the Dutch attempts to find a Northeast Passage with the southwestern tip of Novaya Zemlya depicted off the northern coastline of Tartaria.
It presents a different view of the continent than contemporary maps of Asia, particularly in the northeast region where Korea is shown as a long peninsula.
4) <strong>The</strong> map of Africa appears to be reduced from Hondius’ large map with the typical misconceptions of the period, including the source for the Nile located
in South Africa. <strong>The</strong> map is decorated with a strapwork cartouche and a pair of sea monsters.
5) Europa was engraved by Hondius and stretches to include Greenland, Iceland and part of the North American coast labeled Estonland with the mythical
island of Frisland just offshore. Ref: <strong>World</strong> - Shirley #211; America - Burden #92; Asia - Yeo #18. (A+) $3000-3500
7. <strong>World</strong> & Continents ([Lot of 6] Universi Orbis Descriptio [and] Universi Orbis Descriptio ad Usum Navigantium [and] America [and] Asia [and] Africa
[and] Europa), Magini, Cologne, ca. 1608. 6.7 x 5”. (HC) Delicately engraved group of small maps of the continents and the world, featuring two projections
of the world. <strong>The</strong>se are all from an edition created in Cologne rather than Venice.
1) Universi Orbis Descriptio. <strong>The</strong> distinguished Italian geographer Giovanni Magini published a quarto edition of Ptolemy that also included this reduced
version. Included were four world maps all engraved by Girolamo Porro. This map used the oval projection popularized by Abraham Ortelius, and follows
that model very closely. Most notable are the large landmasses of Terra Incognita and Terra Australis at both poles. Six wind-heads are arranged above
and below the map. Second state with Latin text on verso.
2) Universi Orbis Descriptio ad Usum Navigantium is a small mariner’s map based on Gerard Mercator’s large world map of 1569. Magini has added a
fanciful range of mountains to the huge southern continent. <strong>The</strong> map is crisscrossed by rhumb lines and the oceans are stipple engraved in the Italian style.
Second state with Latin text on verso.
3) America is a finely engraved map derived from Giovanni Lorenzo d’Anania’s 1582 map of the Americas and further based on the geography of Ortelius.
Most notable is the characteristic bulge to the west coast of South America and the huge Southern Continent that attaches to Nova Guinea.
4 ) Asia is based on Ortelius’ map of the region, with the same cordiform projection showing Asia extended too far to the east, an error propagated with
Ptolemy. Japan is shown in a kite shape in the manner of Ruscelli from Jesuit sources.
5) Africa is a small map of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula showing part of Brazil as well from the earlier mapping by Ortelius. <strong>The</strong> rivers of central and
north Africa feature prominently including the Ptolemaic concept of the origin of the Nile in twin lakes south of the Equator. <strong>The</strong> largest of these lakes
also has a river flowing southeast. <strong>The</strong> sea is stipple engraved with a tiny sea monster and decorative calligraphy.
6) Europa shows the extent of the continent reaching over into Asia and including the northern tip of Africa as well as Iceland and Greenland. <strong>The</strong> seas are
stipple engraved. Ref: Map 1). Shirley #195; Map 2) Shirley #196; Map 3) Burden #93. All maps are good with some uneven toning. Map 4 with
a repaired tear in the upper left margin extending just into map. (B) $2000-2300
8. <strong>World</strong> & Continents ([Lot of 6] Mapemonde Planisphere ou Carte Generale du Monde [and] l’Amerique Septentrionale [and] L’Amerique Meridionale
[and] Asia [and] Africa Selou les Autheurs les plus Modernes [and] Europa Selon les Auth. les plus Modernes), La Feuille, Amsterdam, ca. 1701. 8.5 x
6”. (HC) Very attractive matched set of maps. Sizes vary slightly.
1) Mapemonde Planisphere ou Carte Generale du Monde - Generale Wareld Kaart presents the world as a simple double hemisphere showing the island
of California, partially mapped Australia and New Zealand and still a good bit of the southern continent labeled Terres Antarctiques.
2) L’Amerique Septentrionale - Noord America also features California as an island, and a prominent Mississippi River with the Rio Bravo ou de Nort
(Rio Grande) becoming its tributary just before emptying into the Gulf of Mexico, much too far west. <strong>The</strong> map is topped with a pictorial cartouche featuring
natives, a serpent and a lizard.
3) Zuyd America - L’Amerique Meridionale shows South America with two large, spurious lakes. <strong>The</strong> map is adorned with a cartouche featuring natives
offering gifts to a European while a rather alarming serpent looks on.
4) <strong>The</strong> map of Asia features a nearly circular Japan with some odd nearby islands and coasts. <strong>The</strong> map is topped with a cartouche guarded by a warrior
and an elephant.
5) Africa Selou les Autheurs les plus Modernes shows a quite up-to-date Africa flanked with armorial shields for major nations. <strong>The</strong> decorative cartouche
features natives smoking and trading.
6) Europa Selon les Auth. les plus Modernes is also flanked by armorial shields for the kingdoms. Topped with a cartouche the mythical Europa and Zeus
in the form of an aquatic bull. Ref: Map 2: McLaughlin #147. Some professional repairs of fold separations. <strong>The</strong>re are a few spots of foxing scattered
throughout the maps. Map 5 has a repaired marginal tear. (B) $1500-2000

9. <strong>World</strong> & Continents ([Lot of 5] Mappamondo [and] America Secondo le Ultime Osservazioni dell’Accademia Reale delle Scienze [and] Asia… [and]
Africa… [and] Europa…), Buffier, Nuova Geografia, Venice, ca. 1780. 7 x 5.4”. (HC) Attractive group of small maps engraved by Giovanni Petroschi
with charmingly outdated cartography for a later, Italian edition of Geographie Universelle. Sizes vary slightly.
1) Mappamondo is a double-hemisphere world featuring California as an island. <strong>The</strong>re is a hint of a large Southern Continent.
2) America Secondo le Ultime Osservazioni dell’Accademia Reale delle Scienze is an interesting little map showing North and South America with the island
of California. A large Terra Australe underlines South America. North America is divided between Florida, Nuouo Messico, and Canada Francia with
the British colonies squeezed along the eastern seaboard.
3) Asia Secondo le Ultime Oservationi dell’Accademia Reale delle Scienze shows Asia with Japan noted as an island, narrowly separated from the mainland
by a tiny straight between it and Terra di Vesto with the Terra della Compagnia nearby.
4) Africa Secondo le Ultime Osservazione dell’Accademia Reale delle Scienze di Parigi is a delicately engraved map of the continent featuring a simple but
mostly accurate Africa with a representation of what would be Lake Chad in about the right <strong>place</strong>ment and a very good depiction of the route of the Nile.
5) Europa Secondo le Ultime Osservatzioni dell Academia Reale Scienze is a simple depiction of the continent with quite a few <strong>place</strong> names and some
topographic notes. One point of interest is the large, fire-spewing Mount Hekla indicated on Iceland. Minor scattered foxing and light toning, with
folds as issued. (B) $550-650
10. <strong>World</strong> (Das erst general inhaltend die beschreibung und den circkel des gantzen erdtreichs und moere), Munster, Basel, ca. 1550. 15 x 10.4”. (HC) This
is the second state of this famous early, woodblock map of the “modern” world. <strong>The</strong> oval projection is surrounded by clouds and wind heads with the
title above the map. <strong>The</strong> continents are shown in rough outline only. North America is shown with the large cleft nearly separating the east coast from
the continent, often referred to as the Sea of Verazano. What appears to be a large Northwest Passage stretches towards Asia. South America has a very
strange shape as well. In Africa, the Nile is prominently shown with its twin sources beginning in a range of southern mountains. <strong>The</strong> mythical islands
of Grisonum and Calensuan are <strong>place</strong>d in the proximity of Australia, where there is also the label Mare Pacificum. A sailing ship and several fierce sea monsters
occupy the oceans. Initials of the engraver David Kandel in lower left-hand corner. German text and elaborate woodcut illustrations on verso. Ref: Shirley
#92. Nice impression and later color. Some minor repairs and show-through of text on verso in the blank margins. (A) $2300-3000
11. <strong>World</strong> (Typus Orbis Terrarum), Bertius, Petri Bertii Tabularum Geographicarum Contractarum …, Amsterdam, ca. 1616. 5.3 x 3.7”. (HC) Charming
miniature world map on an oval projection based on Ortelius. <strong>The</strong> map is similar to the one Bertius supplied for Barent Langenes’ Caert-Thresoor except
this plate does not contain the signature of Jodocus Hondius as the engraver. Strapwork designs fill the corners with the title above and the motto “Domini
Est Terra Et Plenitudo Eius” at bottom. Ref: Shirley #290. Nice impression. Small worm track professionally repaired almost invisibly in the lower text,
with a small bit of facsimile in the letter ‘E’. (A) $600-700
12. <strong>World</strong> (Nova Totius Terrarum Orbis Geographica ac Hydrographica Tabula), Kaerius/Jansson, Amsterdam, ca. 1630. 21 x 15.7”. (HC) Petrus Kaerius’s
uncommon version of Blaeu’s carte-a-figure’s map of the world is a superb example of the map-maker’s art. <strong>The</strong> interesting and detailed border decorations
are identical to those of Blaeu and consist of the seven planets across the top, the seven wonders of the world along the bottom and the four elements and
four seasons flanking the map. Geographically the map itself is also copied from Blaeu, but includes more legends and additions referring to explorations
in the Arctic. A long note near the cartouche discusses the theory that the straits of Anian and Davis link to form a Northwest Passage. He also added
rhumb lines radiating from compass roses arrayed across the equator. <strong>The</strong> map was first published in 1608. In 1621 Kaerius sold his plates to Jan Jansson
who then issued the map with his imprint. This example is the fourth state with Jansson’s imprint and no date. German text on verso. Ref: Shirley #264.
Lovely, dark impression and fine later color. This map has been professionally remargined and backed with light Japanese tissue. <strong>The</strong> remargining was
done very skillfully with the leaf casting method and includes a tiny bit of facsimile in the border corners. A striking map that is now in near fine condition.
(A) $9000-12000
13. <strong>World</strong> (Nova Totius Terrarum Orbis Geographica ac Hydrographica Tabula…), Merian, Frankfurt, ca. 1650. 13.8 x 9.8”. (BW) This beautifully engraved
world map is presented on Mercator’s projection with cartography closely copied from Blaeu’s world map of 1606. <strong>The</strong> Latin title is printed at top, outside
the neatline, with a German gothic script title and notation concerning Christopher Columbus’ (1492) and Amerigo Vespucci’s (1499) discovery and
exploration of the Americas, covering the unknown interior of North America. <strong>The</strong>re is a large southern continent connected to New Guinea, California
is a peninsula, and there are plenty of open ended waterways in the eastern part of North America, leaving open the question of a Northwest Passage. Two
polar projections in lower corners partially obscure the great southern landmass of Magallanica. <strong>The</strong> landmass is populated by only a few <strong>place</strong> names,
including the regions of Beach and Psittacorum regio (Kingdom of the Parrots) from the travels of Marco Polo. <strong>The</strong> map is finely decorated with sea monsters,
galleons and compass roses. Second state without Merian’s signature in the lower right. Ref: Shirley #345. <strong>The</strong> map has a very nice impression with minor
damp stains in the upper corners, just entering the map, as well as a few spots of light foxing. (B) $1800-2300
14. <strong>World</strong> (Orbis Terrarum Typus de Integroin Plurimis Emendatus Auctus et Icunculis Illustratus), Visscher, Amsterdam, ca. 1660. 18.5 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
is text describing the discovery of America and recent voyages of discovery. Two diagrams depicting the Ptolemaic and Copernican theories of the solar
system are tucked between the hemispheres. <strong>The</strong> 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. Ref: Shirley #414B Corrigenda and Addenda. Light show through of text on verso. Margins
are narrow but still sufficient for framing. <strong>The</strong> map has been professionally backed with tissue. (B) $1400-1800
15. <strong>World</strong> (Orbis Terrarum Tabula Recens Emendata et in Lucem Edita per N. Visscher), Visscher, Amsterdam, ca. 1663. 18.6 x 12”. (HC) First state of
this superb double hemisphere world map, surrounded by engravings including allegorical representations of the continents as well as native inhabitants
and wildlife. Visscher’s decorations were so popular several other cartographers copied them. Two diagrams depicting the Ptolemaic and Copernican theories
of the solar system appear within the cusps of the hemispheres. <strong>The</strong> northwest coast of North America is greatly exaggerated with the fictional El Streto
d’Anian while California is shown as a peninsula. In the Pacific, Western Australia, Van Diemens Landt and a bit of New Zealand are also noted. Dutch
text on verso. Ref: Shirley #431; Poortman & Augusteijn #118. Nice, dark impression. Professional reinforcement of the outer folds and re<strong>place</strong>ment of
the lower right corner margin. (A) $2100-2300
16. <strong>World</strong> (Tabula Geographico-Hydrographica Motus Oceani, Currentes, Abyssos, Montes Ignivomos…), Kircher, d’Onder-Aardse Weereld, Amsterdam,
ca. 1665. 22 x 13.3”. (HC) <strong>The</strong> Jesuit scholar Athanasius Kircher was one of the first compilers of semi-scientific knowledge about the physical features
of the world. This extraordinary map depicts ocean currents, volcanoes and deep-sea chasms. <strong>The</strong> continents are void of political detail and only major
lakes, rivers and volcanoes are shown. <strong>The</strong>re are prominent Northwest and Northeast sea passages and a vast southern continent. Kircher’s theories included
the notion that the world’s oceans were all interconnected and subterranean tunnels are shown connecting the oceans and seas. Published in a Dutch edition
of Kircher’s famous Subterranean <strong>World</strong> by Johann Waesberger Ref: Shirley #436. Nice, sharp impression. <strong>The</strong> right and left margins have been professionally
restored using the leaf casting method with a little facsimile of the neatlines. (A) $800-900
17. <strong>World</strong> (Mappe-Monde ou Carte Generale du Globe Terrestre Representee en deux Plan-Hemispheres…), Sanson/Mariette, Paris, 1669. 22.3 x 16”. (HC)
This simple, yet elegant map is based on Nicolas Sanson’s world map of 1651. Nicolas drew this map for his 1660 atlas, and after his death in 1667, his
sons Guillaume and Adrien used it in their atlases of 1669 and 1678. This edition shows Australia with a bit more definition, along with Tasmania and a
small portion of New Zealand’s coastline. This map is the first to indicate N. Danemarck west of the Hudson Bay, here named Mer Christiane. California
is shown as an island, and Acoma and Santa Fe are noted in the Southwest, with Acoma shown correctly atop a mesa. <strong>The</strong> coastline of Asia is shown with
the discoveries of the De Vries noted, including Terre de Iesso or Ieco, and a land called Yupi. <strong>The</strong> Great Lakes are not updated from the 1651 version, and
do not show all five lakes. <strong>The</strong> map is typical of Sanson’s “scientific” style of cartography with no decorative elements. It was published in conjunction

with Pierre Mariette (father and son), who published many of Sanson’s works after 1645. Ref: Shirley #419. Crisp impression and original outline color.
<strong>The</strong> map has some light stains, toning and a few marginal tears, some just entering the map. Lower margin trimmed, with addition of paper to reinforce
the right corner. (B) $600-800
18. <strong>World</strong> (Mappe-Monde ou Carte Generale du Globe Terrestre Representee en deux Plan-Hemispheres…), Luyts, [1699]. 12.2 x 8”. (HC) This double
hemisphere map is beautifully decorated with clouds at the top and allegorical representations at the bottom. <strong>The</strong> title in the decorative, ribbon banner attributes
Nicholas Sanson as the map’s originator. It was engraved by Antoine de Winter and first published in Jan Luyts’ Introductio Ad Geographiam in 1692.
California is shown as an island, and Terre de Iesso stretches between Asia and North America. <strong>The</strong>re is a bit of the coastline of New Zealand nearly connecting
to a massiveTerre Magellanique, and Australia, here called Nouvelle Hollande, is only partly mapped. Ref: Shirley #553. With folds as issued. Couple
of marginal chips, else fine. (A) $800-1200
19. <strong>World</strong> (Repraesentatio Totius Orbis Terraquei Cuius Partes Quae Umbra Carent, Fide Catholica Imbutae Sunt, Reliquae Omnes Inumbratae, Religionis
Catholicae Expertes Sunt), Scherer, Atlas Novus, Munich, ca. 1702. 13.8 x 9”. (BW) This is a dramatic depiction of the world presented on a polar projection.
<strong>The</strong> map is shaded to indicate the spread of the Catholic religion throughout the world, with lighter regions depicting those visited by Jesuit missionaries.
California is shown as an island, and above it is the Fretum Anian. <strong>The</strong> title is enclosed in a strapwork cartouche with a symbolic scene on the right showing
the separation of the sheep from the goats, with the sheep turning into human souls and ascending to heaven and the goats descending to hell, depicted in
the form of a fanged monster, per the parable of Matthew 25. A risen Christ is shown above the scene and to the left is Magellan’s ship. Numerous sea
monsters and exotic fish occupy the oceans. Henrich Scherer, a mathematics professor and Jesuit, produced this work to emphasize the extent of Catholic
influence in the New <strong>World</strong>. Ref: Shirley #628. <strong>The</strong> map has a very sharp impression with folds as issued. (A) $1200-1400
20. <strong>World</strong> (Societas Iesu Per universum mundum diffusa Praedicat Christi Evangelium), Scherer, Atlas Novus, Munich, ca. 1702. 13.9 x 9.1”. (HC) An exquisite
depiction of the world from the Jesuit mathematician’s series of sharply engraved maps. <strong>The</strong> map is presented on a north polar projection and shows California
as an island. Large shining, star-like symbols of the Jesuits mark the locations of Jesuit missions throughout the world. Each corner is richly engraved with
allegorical scenes of four Jesuit saints: St. Ignatius Loyola, founder of the Jesuit order; Father Joseph Anchieta, Apostle of Brazil; Andreas Oviedus, Patriarch
of Ethiopia; and St. Francis Xavier, Apostle of India. <strong>The</strong>re are many cherubs supporting a number of Latin plaques such as the one under St. Francis
Xavier quoting Matthew 28, “ <strong>The</strong>refore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.”
<strong>The</strong> map is further adorned with ships and sea monsters. Ref: Shirley #629. (A+) $1400-1600
21. <strong>World</strong> (Plan de l’Histoire universelle, oul’on voit les quatre Monarchies du Monde, et tous les Anciens Etats aussi bien que ceux qui subsistent aujourdhuy),
Chatelain, Amsterdam, ca. 1705. 17.3 x 13.2”. (HC) <strong>The</strong> unique composition of this very interesting map shows the entire world but emphasizes the <strong>Old</strong>
<strong>World</strong>. <strong>The</strong> main map depicts the Eastern Hemisphere, into which is inset a smaller Western Hemisphere with the island of California. <strong>The</strong> map shows
the extents of the Roman Empire and Alexander the Great’s Empire. Below the map are vignettes depicting the seven wonders of the ancient world. Tables
of French text surround the entire map. Sharp impression and lovely color. (A+) $550-600
22. <strong>World</strong> (A New Map of the <strong>World</strong> According to Wrights alias Mercators Projection…), Moll, London, ca. 1705. 37 x 21.3”. (HC) This is a large, uncommon
and striking chart of the world presented on Mercator’s Projection with a broad band through the middle depicting the trade winds. In North America, California
is shown as an island with a very unusual configuration, shown with two northern bays and and a very pinched central area. Baron Lahontan’s fictitous
Riviere Longue is the most prominent feature in the West. While a very strange St. Lawrence River has its headwaters in Assinipovals Lake in the heart
of Canada and then flows south through Nemipigon Lake and the Great Lakes before taking its normal course. Australia’s coastline is partially shown
with a suggested connection to New Guinea. A little bit of the coaslines of both Tasmania and New Zealand are noted as well. In Asia, Corea is not firmly
connected to the mainland, the Land of Iesso and the Straits of the Vries are above Japan. <strong>The</strong>re is a large inset of the North Pole. A couple compass roses
and ships enliven the sea. Published by Mount and Page. Issued folding, now pressed. Sharp impression with original color and a couple light stains.
<strong>The</strong> margins are narrow, but sufficient for framing with a couple of chips at top. Some remnants of framer’s hinges on the verso. (B) $2500-3250
23. <strong>World</strong> (Mappe Monde), Delisle/Schenk, Amsterdam, 1708. 23 x 17.5”. (HC) This handsome double hemisphere map is a corrected version of Delisle’s
first world map, issued in 1700. <strong>The</strong> address notation in the lower cartouche removes Delisle’s address in favor of Schenk’s imprint. In this edition, new
information corrects the representation of the Great Lakes, South America, and the Niger River in Africa. In keeping with Delisle’s desire for accuracy,
the northwestern portion of North America is not illustrated here and there is no evidence of Antarctica. Delisle used accounts from French explorers and
colonizers of the Gulf of Mexico region. He also had access to accounts from survivors of La Salle’s expedition in the late 1680’s. Despite his efforts to
produce highly accurate maps, this map still shows several cartographic errors that were common during this period. It shows New Guinea connected to
Australia, and it appears that Japan is connected to the mainland to the north with the nearby Terre de la Campagnie from the de Vries expedition. <strong>The</strong>
map features an elaborate cartouche that includes four exotic female personifications of the continents. <strong>The</strong> banner across the top advertises Delisle’s upcoming
book, Nouvelle Introduction à la Géographie. Ref: Shirley #603. Lovely impression and original color that has been refreshed. A verdigris crack along the
African coast has been professionally reinforced on the verso. (B) $1400-1600
24. <strong>World</strong> (Nova Delineatio Totius Orbis Terrarum per Petrum Vander Aa), Aa, Leiden, ca. 1720. 13.5 x 10.2”. (HC) Originally published by Jacob van
Meurs in 1660, and reissued here by Vander 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. <strong>The</strong> 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. Ref: Shirley #417. Lovely impression with generous original margins.
(A+) $2500-3000
25. <strong>World</strong> (Platte Kaart van de geheele Werelt), Wetstein, Amsterdam, ca. 1730. 18 x 14.5”. (HC) This scarce and unusual map of the world is derived from
Pierre Mortier’s Carte General du Monde of 1700. <strong>The</strong> map is on Mercator’s projection and depicts California as an island. Above the island, the coastline
stretches directly west ending just at the map’s border. <strong>The</strong> northeast coastline of Asia is lacking Kamchatka and Japan is depicted connected to ‘t Land
van Yedso (Hokkaido). Australia and New Zealand are only partially mapped. Numerous exploration routes are shown with their respective discoveries,
including Tasman, Spilbergen, Columbus, Hudson, Dampier, Magellan and others. Two additional double hemispheres, including one on a polar projection,
flank the decorative title cartouche that includes two angels. Engraved by J. Keyser. Ref: Shirley #622. (A) $1600-1800
26. <strong>World</strong> (Planiglobium Terrestre Minus in hanc formam reductam), Weigel, Nuremberg, ca. 1730. 14 x 11”. (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 in that it presents an insular California and a different Terra Esonis with the Fretum Anian. <strong>The</strong>
map also retains a faint outline of the great Southern Continent, Terra Australis Incongnita. Instead of celestial maps between the cusps of the double
hemisphere map, Weigel has included terrestrial maps on polar projections. Bit of very faint toning with a slightly uneven impression, overall still very
good. (A) $1500-1700
27. <strong>World</strong> (Werelt Caert), Stoopendaal, Rotterdam, ca. 1736. 18 x 12.2”. (HC) This is the second state of Stoopendaal’s double hemisphere map from a Dutch
Bible based on Visscher’s similar map of 1663 and surrounded by allegorical representations of the continents. It has been updated here to show California
as an island with a flat northern coastline, Australia’s western and northern coastlines, a revision in the coastline for New Guinea, and the addition of some
islands in the South Pacific. Diagrams of the Copernican and Ptolemaic solar systems rest between the hemispheres. This is the smaller version of this
world map, without the banner title. Dutch text on verso Ref: cf Shirley #498. Attractive later color. Margins slightly trimmed, but still adequate for framing.
(A) $1100-1300

28. <strong>World</strong> (Wereld Kaart na de alderlaatste Ontdekking in’t Licht gebragt), Tirion, Amsterdam, 1744. 16.5 x 13”. (HC) Handsome double hemisphere map
with polar projections tucked between the spheres at the top and bottom. <strong>The</strong> Western Hemisphere shows the entire Northwest coast of North America
blank with only the western shore of New Zealand mapped. In the Eastern Hemisphere, Nieuw Holland is shown for Australia with only the northern
and western coastlines, which are connected to New Guinea. Tasmania (Van Diemens Land) is shown just below with several <strong>place</strong> names. <strong>The</strong> map is
titled with a large, ribbon-style cartouche. Issued folding, now pressed. <strong>The</strong> map has been professionally conserved and backed with fine tissue. <strong>The</strong>re
are some small areas of loss on the fold intersections that are almost invisible. (A) $950-1100
29. <strong>World</strong> (Nova Totius Terrarum Orbis Tabula), Wit, Amsterdam, ca. 1745. 22.5 x 19.8”. (HC) Stunning, large double hemisphere showing the island of
California and partial shorelines of western Australia and New Zealand. An advanced depiction of the five Great Lakes includes Superior and Huron with
open-ended western shores. <strong>The</strong> exquisite scenes surrounding the map are among the finest decorative motifs on early maps, rendered in lifelike detail. <strong>The</strong>y
were etched (rather than engraved) by the important Dutch artist, Romeyn de Hooghe. <strong>The</strong>se lively scenes represent the four elements. Fire is shown by
war and destruction; air by the heavens; earth by harvesting and husbandry; and water by ships, a spouting whale and mermaids. <strong>The</strong>re are groups of figures
tucked between the hemispheres with polar projection maps above and below. Third state with the imprint of Reiner and Josua Ottens added. Ref: Shirley
#444. Narrow but adequate margins. Attractive later color. Impression is a little weaker in the surrounding scenes than in the map. (A) $6000-7000
30. <strong>World</strong> (Planiglobium Terrestre ou Mappe-Monde), Sepp, Amsterdam, 1747. 4.7 x 9.3”. (HC) This rare miniature map of the world was drawn and engraved
by Sepp and published by Arent van Huissteen. <strong>The</strong> map presents North America with a blank western coast above California. Australia and New Zealand
are both only partially formed. A celestial sphere based on the Copernican theory is below the double hemisphere map, balanced by a decorative title cartouche
at top. Some light soil and a couple of minor spots in the map. Ink manuscript date in top blank margin. (B) $350-400
31. <strong>World</strong> (De Wareld in een Ronde gedaante van de Noord Pool te zien /De Wareld verbeeld in de gedaante van een Hard en geleege na de Stelling van de Hr.
Guil de L’Isle), Keizer/De Lat, Atlas Portatif, Leiden, ca. 1747. 11.2 x 6.9”. (HC) This interesting composition contains three world maps on the sheet.
At left is a northern projection showing all the landmasses. At right is a cordiform projection (heart-shaped). At top is a map of the world as known to
the ancients. Both the polar and cordiform projections show California as an island. However, as this map was published at the very end of the controversy
over the insular nature of California, the engraver has covered all his bases and shows the island touching the mainland near the center of the eastern coast.
Thus it is one of the more interesting depictions of this cartographic myth. Nice impression and color with minor bleed through. (A) $275-325
32. <strong>World</strong> (Essay d’une Carte Reduite Contenant Les Parties Connues Du Globe Terrestre), Bellin, Paris, 1748. 27.8 x 20”. (HC) This is a very large and
attractive world chart on Mercator’s projection. North America is shown with a prominent River of the West connecting through a series of rivers and
lakes from Lake Superior to the Pacific - representing the elusive search for a Northwest Passage. <strong>The</strong> Russian discoveries in the North Pacific are shown
with Alaska depicted as an island named I. Unamak. Australia is labeled Nouvelle Hollande with Terre de Diemen linked to the mainland. New Zealand
is fully formed and there are numerous islands in the Pacific. <strong>The</strong> large, decorative title cartouche and two fine compass roses with rhumb lines make this
a very attractive chart. As Australia and New Zealand reflect the discoveries of Capt. Cook, the published date of this example would be after 1770. Issued
folding, now pressed with a couple of minor professional repairs on folds. (A+) $1100-1400
33. <strong>World</strong> (De la Geologie), Brion de la Tour, Paris, ca. 1766. 18 x 11.5”. (HC) Charming, double-hemisphere map of the world flanked by text describing
the geography and continents of the world. <strong>The</strong> continents are shown without much interior detail, and Australia and New Zealand are still just a partial
coastline. <strong>The</strong>re are a profusion of seas named along the coasts, including Mer de Jedso, M. de Californie, M. du Perou, Mer du Canada, and many more.
Original outline color. Some spots of foxing and one hole in the lower, unengraved portion of the map. (B) $250-300
34. <strong>World</strong> (Carte du Globe Terrestre ou les Terres de l’Hemisphere Meridl. Sont Supposees etre Vues a Travers celles de l”Hemisphere Septentl.), Buache/
Dezauche, Paris, ca. 1780. 12.8 x 9.8”. (HC) A very unusual map with north and south poles depicted on same sphere, by superimposing one on the other.
<strong>The</strong> Southern Hemisphere landmasses are stipple engraved to distinguish them from the continents of the Northern Hemisphere. North America is shown
with a huge Sea of the West and probable Northwest Passage. Nice impression and original color. Folded, as issued with faint damp stains along horizontal
fold, mostly in wide margins. (A) $300-350
35. <strong>World</strong> (Mappemonde a l’Usage du Roi), Delisle/Dezauche, Atlas Geographique des Quartes Parties du Monde, Paris, 1785. 25.5 x 17.8”. (HC) Impressive,
large double hemisphere presented in Delisle’s crisp, elegant style. <strong>The</strong> advertisement cartouche mentions the recent discoveries and voyages of Captain
Cook, whose exploration routes and dates are noted on the map. <strong>The</strong> Pacific Northwest and the coasts of Australia and New Zealand are updated with
information from his expeditions. <strong>The</strong>re is a note in the newly discovered O-Why-Hee (Hawaii) noting the date that Capt. Cook perished in 1779.
<strong>The</strong> title cartouche is centered on the French royal coat of arms. However the royal crown and coat-of-arms has been defaced with blacked ink, indicating that
this map was altered just after the French Revolution of 1789. After the Revolution, any type of aristocratic crest or coat of arms was outlawed, particularly
the royal crest. Royal furniture, rugs and decorative items sold after the Revolution were sold with the stipulation that any royal symbols were removed.
Any map that featured a royal insignia would have brought a violent reaction from the new regime. <strong>The</strong> left margin has been partially re<strong>place</strong>d, repairing
paper loss outside platemark. <strong>The</strong>re is tiny loss from oxidation of the ink used to deface the royal insignia, with paper on verso to reinforce it. (B)
$1800-2200
36. <strong>World</strong> (Carte de l’Ancien et du Nouveau Monde, Suivant une projection nouvelle), Philippe De Pretot, Paris, ca. 1787. 16 x 10.5”. (HC) A very uncommon
world map designed in a crisp style and presented on Mercator’s projection. <strong>The</strong> map is very detailed, particularly in the oceans with recent discoveries
noted in Greenland, Canada, the South Pacific and North Pacific. In North America a huge River of the West (Fl. de l’Ouest) is the most prominent feature
and the northwest coast is lacking any hint of the Alaskan peninsula. <strong>The</strong> composition is nicely decorated with an elaborate, French-style title cartouche
and a compass rose. Beautiful impression and attractive color. <strong>The</strong>re are a couple of light, marginal stains, well away from the map. (A+)$700-800

large, important map of the world illustrating the voyage of La Perouse. <strong>The</strong> track of the doomed expedition of 1785-88 is displayed from France to Cape
Horn, across to Hawaii, up to the Pacific Northwest, west to the eastern coast of Asia up to Kamchatka and south to Botany Bay, where their path disappears.
<strong>The</strong> remains of their vessels were found in 1826, north of New Hebrides. <strong>The</strong> map shows up-to-date information gleaned not only from La Perouse, but
also from the expeditions of Cook and Mackenzie. Ref: Hayes, pp. 65. Printed on strong paper with overall ligth toning and just a hint of offsetting. (A)
$700-900
38. <strong>World</strong> (Mappemonde Historique), Didot, Paris, 1808. 25.3 x 19”. (HC) This is a very large, attractive double hemisphere map with numerous notations
on explorations, natural history, and weather. <strong>The</strong> map shows only the major physical features. Australia and New Zealand are correctly mapped, but
Alaska is shown in an early configuration, and there is no Antarctica. <strong>The</strong> map has a lengthy portion of French text on the bottom devoted to the various
explorers and the routes they discovered. Size includes the text. Original hand coloring. Marginal toning and chipping with a couple of spots of foxing
in the map. (B) $180-250
39. <strong>World</strong> (Map of the <strong>World</strong> From the Best Authorities), Brightly & Kinnersly, [1818]. 13.8 x 7”. (HC) This double hemispheric world map incorporates

Diemans Land (still attached) to the Cape York Peninsula. New Guinea’s southern coastline is indistinctly drawn. Published by the seldom seen house
of Brightly and Kinnersly in Suffolk. Dated 1807 but the fine machine-made paper bears two large “1818” watermarks. Near fine example less some
light offsetting. Upper edge of paper with some browning, far from map image. Some genealogical information on verso in ink, with no show-through to
map. (B) $100-120

of the second state of Mercator’s famous North Pole map. It depicts the region between the pole and the Arctic Circle. This is one of the most intriguing
early maps, combining medieval geographic concepts with some of the most advanced cartography of its day. <strong>The</strong> North Pole is shown as a rocky island
surrounded by ‘indrawing seas’ between four huge islands. <strong>The</strong> map shows an awareness of recent discoveries, including those of Frobisher and Davis,
as well as the northern sea passage through America to Asia. It is a striking example of baroque engraving, with the map set off by the roundel title cartouche
and inset maps of the Faeroes, the Shetlands and the mythical Frislant Insula in the corners, and framed by a border of interlocking acanthus designs. <strong>The</strong>
map is printed on a full sheet of English text with “Hondius his Map of the Arctike Pole, or Northerne <strong>World</strong>” outside top border. <strong>The</strong>re is an uncolored

title cartouche. Latin text on verso. Ref: Burden #222. Faint show-through of text on verso. (A) $275-350
49. North Pole (Poli Arctici, et Circumiacentium Terrarum Descriptio Novissima), Hondius, Amsterdam, ca. 1638. 19.4 x 17”. (HC) Hondius’ important
map of the polar region is one of the most decorative maps of the North Pole. It re<strong>place</strong>d Mercator’s map and incorporated much of the knowledge gained
by the English in their search for a Northwest Passage to Asia. <strong>The</strong> cartography is based on Henry Briggs’ depiction of Hudson Bay, showing a pair of
bays in the bottom of Hudson Bay named Iames his Bay and <strong>The</strong> Great Bay of God’s Deliverance. <strong>The</strong>re are more names based on Hudson’s explorations,
including the note of Ne Ultra in an inlet at the top if the bay indicating that they could go no further there. <strong>The</strong>re are several Dutch names in Labrador,
many appearing for the first time on this map. <strong>The</strong> fascinating whaling scenes that surround the map also depict Dutch activity in the region. <strong>The</strong>re are
many types of ship and boats shown, as well as whales, seals and cormorants. Burden’s third state (Kershaw’s second state), the first with the whaling
scenes. Latin text on verso. Ref: Burden #246; Kershaw #99b. A structurally sound map with oxidized original color and soil and toning along centerfold
that would benefit greatly from professional conservation. <strong>The</strong>re is a short fold separation just touching the bottom of the map and some marginal short
tears and chips. (C) $600-800

by a finely engraved design with four round insets in each corner. <strong>The</strong>se contain the title, the Faeroe Isles, the Shetland Isles, and the mythical island of
Frisland. <strong>The</strong> North Pole is shown according to legend as a large rock in a giant whirlpool surrounded by four islands that are separated by rivers. <strong>The</strong> magnetic
pole is depicted as an island in the Strait of Anian. An elaborate river network and large bay is shown in the extreme northwest part of North America.
Ref: Burden #225. Very good with some tape residue in the top margin, well away from the map. (A) $750-850

This beautiful map, originally published in 1637, eventually re<strong>place</strong>d Hondius’ map of the North Pole and became the prototype for many later maps including
those of Blaeu. 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 hides the northwest coast of America. <strong>The</strong> map is further decorated with ships and a cartouche depicting men in parkas, a polar
bear and foxes. This example is the fifth state of the plate with Nova Zemla connected to the mainland with a land bridge, the completed coastline of Spitzbergen
and Valk and Schenk’s imprint. Ref: Burden #250; Kershaw #111. This is a handsome, dark impression with original color. <strong>The</strong>re is a faint mat burn in
the wide blank margin, not affecting map. (A) $800-1100

72. Globes (Rand, McNally New Six Inch Terrestrial Globe), Rand McNally & Co., Chicago, 1892. x ”. (PC) This small globe by Rand McNally is raised
on its original twisted wire stand. Lithographed on twelve paper gores laid over pasteboard. A large analemma is located in the South Pacific. Light blue
lines trace isothermal lines across the globe. In the last decades of the 19th Century, Chicago became the leading center for commercial cartographic publishing
in the United States. Rand McNally first began business as a printer and expanded to publishing travel and railroad maps in 1872. This example is a very
early globe by Rand McNally, whose first known globe was produced just a few years earlier in 1887. <strong>The</strong> gores are a little darkened. <strong>The</strong> upper and
lower polar rings have slightly depressed the globe, and there is a slight area of depression north of New Zealand, else very good. (B) $300-400
73. Globes (Aardglobe door C.L. Van Balen… J.B. Dordrecht), ca. 1910-1915. x ”. (PC) This small terrestrial desk globe is complete with its original tin
four legged meridian base. It was produced in Holland and all <strong>place</strong> names are in Dutch. <strong>The</strong> globe is composed of twelve lithographed paper gores. <strong>The</strong>
globe rotates on an offset metal ring that is supported in the base. <strong>The</strong> base meridian shows degrees, months and the Zodiac, and is further decorated with
stars and planets around the outside surface. This globe is undated, but geography and <strong>place</strong> names, such as Siam, dates it to circa 1900-1915. <strong>The</strong> globe
has just a little foxing or toning, mostly at top, and a couple rubbed areas, else very good to fine. <strong>The</strong> tin base has the expected light rust. <strong>The</strong> legs were
brass plated but a good portion is missing. (A) $200-300
74. Globes (Cram’s Universal Terrestrial Globe 10 1/2 Inch), Cram, Indianapolis, ca. 1920-30. 10.5 x 13.5”. (PC) This wonderful terrestrial desk globe is
constructed with 12 color lithographed, coated paper gores over pasteboard. Raised on an offset central axis mounted on a single short, angled metal pillar
held by a footed wood stand. <strong>The</strong> oceans are finished in turquoise with the location of the International Date Line shown. <strong>The</strong> names and direction of the
currents of all the oceans and seas are in white. This example, with a time dial at the North Pole, shows the Sargasso Sea prominently displayed in the middle
of the Atlantic Ocean. Notations at the north and south poles state the years and methods of travel for individuals who first explored those regions. This
globe is catalog No. 105. Gores are beginning to pull away from each other at the extremities, albeit just slightly. Gores also are scratched and abraded
in several areas. Some of the red ink features are sun-faded. No soft spots, a nice example. (B) $300-400
75. Globes (12 Inch Standard Globe), Replogle Globes, Chicago, ca. 1939-47. 12 x 17”. (PC) This terrific example of an unusual desk globe is constructed
from twelve coated paper gores, and has a full, steel meridian with calibrations resting in a wooden cradle on a large rectangular wooden base that has a builtin
slot for storing a small atlas or journal. This wonderful globe shows Chosen (Korea), French Indo China, and Manchuria (Manchoukou), and includes
a time dial at the North Pole. <strong>The</strong>re is a legend that shows the keys for city populations, existing and proposed air travel routes, steamship lanes, railways,
roads, canals and swamps. <strong>The</strong> oceans are finished in turquoise blue, and have the currents shown in white. An ornate, oval cartouche is located in the
North Pacific, above Hawaii. This example has only a couple small abrasions, light soil and no indented areas. <strong>The</strong> adhesive label that marks the Equator
is chipped off in several <strong>place</strong>s. (A) $350-450
76. Globes (Cram’s Universal Terrestrial Globe 9 Inch), Cram, Indianapolis, ca. 1950. 9 x 12.5”. (PC) This quaint terrestrial desk globe is constructed with
12 color lithograph, coated paper gores over pasteboard. Raised on an offset central axis mounted on a single short, angled metal pillar held by a round metal
stand. <strong>The</strong> oceans are finished in turquoise with the locations of the Prime Meridian and the International Date Line shown. <strong>The</strong> names and direction of
the currents of all the oceans and seas are in white. This example, with a time dial at the North Pole, shows Indochina, Manchuria. <strong>The</strong> Sargasso Sea is
prominently displayed in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, and an analemma is located in the South Pacific. Notations at the north and south poles state
the years and methods of travel for individuals who first explored those regions. <strong>The</strong> simple title cartouche located in the Indian Ocean indicates this globe
is from catalog No. 90. <strong>The</strong> clear coating has yellowed, and there is some soiling. <strong>The</strong> adhesive label that marks the Equator is chipped off in one section.
Several small abrasions and spots exist. (B) $250-350
Western Hemisphere
77. Western Hemisphere (Die Neuwen Inseln…), Munster, Basel, ca. 1550. 13.5 x 10”. (HC) This is one of the most important 16th century maps of
the New <strong>World</strong>, credited with popularizing the name America. North America is very oddly shaped with no California and ‘Zipangri’ (Japan) is shown
only a short distance off the western coast. In the east, the land is nearly bisected by a body of water, known as the Sea of Verrazzano. <strong>The</strong> Yucatan is
still shown as an island and the lake at Temistitan is connected to the Gulf of Mexico. South America has a large bulge in the northwest, the Amazon River
is very short and cannibals inhabit the continent. <strong>The</strong> map is very decorative with Magellan’s surviving ship ‘Victoria’ appearing in the Pacific. <strong>The</strong> flags
of Spain and Portugal depict their respective spheres of influence in the New <strong>World</strong>. Ref: Burden #12, state 5 Professionally backed with light Japanese
tissue to support centerfold, with a bit of minor toning. (B) $5000-6000

78. Western Hemisphere (Americae sive Novi Orbis, Nova Descriptio), Munster/Petri, Cosmographia Universalis, Basel, ca. 1590. 14.3 x 12.5”. (BW) This
handsome woodcut map is based on Abraham Ortelius’ classic map of 1570, with the huge bulge in the southwest coastline of South America, the extensive
western coastline of North America, and the great southern continent, here called Meridies Terra de Fuego. However, because of the restrictions inherent
in wood block engraving, Petri’s map is somewhat generalized. A village of Quivira and the Sierra Nevada are located in present-day California. Inland,
there is the kingdom of Quivira, with those of Anian and Tolm to the north and east. Above the map are two elongated ovals of gothic German text and
above that, in the upper margin, a German title, “Die newen Inseln so hinder Hispania Gegen Orient bey dem Landt Indie Gelegen.” German text and illustration
on verso. Lightly toned with some show-through of text on verso. Some paper re<strong>place</strong>ment in upper right margin. (B) $1300-1500
79. Western Hemisphere (America), Botero, Descrittione della Geografia Universale, Florence, ca. 1598. 9.5 x 7”. (BW) Early map of the Americas based
on Ortelius and D’Anian. <strong>The</strong> Sierra Nevadas are named and Quivira appears both as a region and a large city in North America. <strong>The</strong> towns of Marta, Zalisco
and Culuacan are noted near present-day New Mexico. Another large city labeled Totonteac is shown at the top of the M. Vermeio (Gulf of California).
A wide St. Lawrence River has its headwaters in a tiny lake in the region named Saguenai, and there are no Great Lakes. <strong>The</strong> names Norinbega for New
England, Virginia, Mocosa and Apalche are on the eastern seaboard. Off the coast, the imaginary islands of Frislant, Dos Demonios, Sept Cites and St.
Brendain are shown. South America is shown with a bulging western coast from Ortelius, while an outsized La Plata River plunges into the continent.
<strong>The</strong> map is filled with many towns and topographical details. A massive Tierra del Fuego fills the bottom of the map and is connected to an even more
massive Nova Guinea, which carries a notation referring to Andrea Corsali, a 15th century Florentine explorer who described and named the Southern Cross.
State two with a line encircling the continents, engraved by Girolamo Porro with Italian text on verso. Ref: Burden #86. Nearly fine with a sharp impression
and wide original margins. <strong>The</strong>re are a couple tiny binding holes in the map and a nearly invisible stain on fold, also from binding. (B) $1100-1500
80. Western Hemisphere (Universale Della Parte del Mondo Nuovamente Ritrovata), Gastaldi/Ramusio, Navigationi et Viaggi, vol. III, Venice, [1606]. 11
x 11.5”. (BW) Extremely important map of the Americas, which includes the first mention of several names from the explorations of Coronado of 1540-
42, including the elusive cities of Cibola and Quivera. <strong>The</strong> Sierra Nevadas appear for the first time, following the voyage of Juan Rodrequez Cabrillo in 1542.
<strong>The</strong> map was originated by Gastaldi and is one of four he did for Ramusio. It leaves open the question of a land bridge from North America to Asia. This
is the second issue from the second block, published in 1606. <strong>The</strong> first block, with identical geography, was destroyed in a fire at the printing establishment
of Thomaso Guinti shortly after its publication in 1556. A nice example of this important and scarce map. Ref: Burden #34; Wagner (NW) #35; Wheat
(TMW) #9. Nice impression on very good paper. Couple of very light printer’s creases, otherwise fine. (A) $3250-4250
81. Western Hemisphere (America noviter delineata), Hondius, Amsterdam, 1631. 19.6 x 14.8”. (BW) This beautiful and popular map of the Americas
was emulated by numerous cartographers and went through various editions. Originally issued by Jodocus Hondius in 1618 with carte-a-figures borders,
it was derived from two earlier maps by Blaeu. <strong>The</strong> North Pole depicts Frobisher’s theory of the Northwest Passage and the South Pole shows the longheld
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,
there is a large inland sea and two engraved scenes, one detailing a cannibalistic feast. Two stylized insets of the two polar regions are enclosed in strapwork
cartouches. <strong>The</strong> 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. <strong>The</strong> 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 the third state with the imprint of Henrico Hondius
and a date of 1631. Ref: Burden #192; Goss #27; Tooley (America) plt. 172. <strong>The</strong> map has a striking impression on a sheet professionally remargined and
backed with Japanese tissue. (B) $3000-3500
82. Western Hemisphere (America noviter delineata), Merian, Neuwe Archontologia Cosmica, Frankfurt, ca. 1640. 14 x 10.8”. (BW) Merian prepared
this reduced version of his 1631 map for the German translation of Pierre d’Avity’s Les Empires du Monde and it accompanied other works of the period
including <strong>The</strong>atrum Europaeum. It is one of the many derivatives of Jodocus Hondius’ map of 1618. North America is depicted with a prominent Virginia
and an odd, indented New England coastline, here named Norumbega. <strong>The</strong> western coastline above California makes the continent entirely too wide. <strong>The</strong>re
is only a hint of the Great Lakes. <strong>The</strong>re is a large inland lake in equatorial South America, called Parime Lacus. Small inset of Greenland, obscuring the littleknown
northwestern part of North America. Strapwork title cartouche, a sea monster and Spanish galleons decorate the map. Merian’s signature at lower
right. Ref: Burden #251. (A) $900-1100
83. Western Hemisphere (L’Amerique Autrement le Nouveau Monde et Indes Occidentales...), Duval, Carte de Geographie les plus Nouvelles…, Paris,
1664. 15 x 14.5”. (HC) This is an uncommon map of the Americas based largely on the cartography of Nicolas Sanson, Duval’s uncle. In North America,
the Great Lakes are shown open-ended in the west and California is depicted as an island. Above California is the Destroit d’ Anien and the large Terre
de Iesso, or land of Jesso, that was the result of confusing reports by De Vries on his expedition in the waters north of Japan. Several colonial settlements
appear on the eastern seaboard including Iamestoun, Christina, London al: Boston, N. Amsterdam al: Manhate. In South America, the mythical Parime
Lake is located in Guiana with its legendary Manoa-el dorado (City of Gold). <strong>The</strong>re is good detail of the missions. <strong>The</strong> map includes the western coasts
of Europe and Africa and the Prime Meridian goes through the Isle de Fer. <strong>The</strong> map was originally engraved in 1655 and appeared in several states until
Duval’s death in1683. Ref: Burden #311, state 4; McLaughlin #15, state 3. Nice impression with original outline color and wide original margins. Minor
repairs in blank margins, well away from map. (A) $1500-2000
84. Western Hemisphere (Americae Descriptio Nova), Seile, Cosmography, London, 1666. 16.5 x 13.3”. (HC) Boldly engraved map of the Americas based
on the work of Abraham Goos for John Speed. It depicts California as an island with many names and islands surrounding it, no Great Lakes and a faint
allusion to the northwest coast of North America. On the east coast, Norumbega, Maryland, No: Belgium, and Long Ile are named. South America has
the fictitious Parim and Eupana lakes, as well as dramatic river systems and many <strong>place</strong> names. <strong>The</strong> map is decorated with a title cartouche, sea monsters,
and sailing ships. This is the third state, issued by Philip Chetwind for Peter Heylin with his imprint replacing Seile’s. Ref: Burden #308; McLaughlin
#13-3 & 39; Tooley (Amer) p.115, #13. Nice, sharp impression and attractive color. <strong>The</strong>re is an old repair on a 2.5" binding tear at right, and the side margins
have been extended. <strong>The</strong>re are two very small wormholes and a fold separation in map. <strong>The</strong>se flaws are not distracting, and the map would frame very
nicely. (B)$700-850
85. Western Hemisphere (Amerique), Duval, Le Monde ou la Geograhie Universelle, Paris, ca. 1672. 5 x 4”. (HC) This is the third state of this charming
miniature map of the Americas. California is shown as an island and the D. d’Anien separates California from a huge Terre de Iesso, with a D. de Vriez
separating Iesso from Asia. <strong>The</strong> Spanish colony of St. 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 as a remnant of the old southern continent. Ref: Burden #350; McLaughlin #26. (A+) $500-600
86. Western Hemisphere (Americae Descriptio), Cluver, Leiden, ca. 1676. 8 x 5.6”. (HC) Lovely, small map of the Americas prominently featuring the
island of California with a flat northern coastline. In the Pacific Ocean only the western coastline of New Zealand is mapped, and Japan includes an outsized
Hokkaido (Eso). Many tiny ships dot the seas while Native Americans and Europeans surround the title cartouche McLaughlin #60. (A+)$600-700
87. Western Hemisphere (America Septentrionalis Novissima / America Meridionalis Accuratissima), Schenk, Atlas Contractus, Amsterdam, ca. 1700. 22
x 19”. (HC) This is an extremely handsome map of the Americas with two large figurative title cartouches for each continent. North America is based
on the Sanson-Jaillot model with California as an island, open ended Great Lakes and the R. del Norte (Rio Grande) flowing westward from a large inland
lake located just north of Taos. Buttons Bay and the Great Lakes are both left open-ended in the west, leaving open the possibility of a Northwest Passage.
In South America the mythical Prime Lacus stradles the equator, the Amazon River is shown as an elaborate network of waterways, and the Paraguay River
has it headwaters in the spurious Xarayes Lake. Quiri Regio and Insule Salmonis are prominently featured in the Pacific. Ref: McLaughlin #120; Tooley
(Amer) p. 125 #56. Sharp impression and original color with some oxidation that has been professionally reinforced on verso with light Japanese tissue.
(B) $1500-1800

88. Western Hemisphere (America), Magini and Porro, Universus Terrarum Orbis Scriptorum, Padua, [1713]. 6.8 x 5”. (HC) This finely engraved map
is derived from Giovanni Lorenzo d’Anania’s 1582 map of the Americas and further based on the geography of Ortelius. Most notable is the characteristic
bulge to the west coast of South America and the huge Southern Continent that attaches to Nova Guinea. Girolamo Porro engraved the map for Magini’s
edition of Ptolemy’s Geography. <strong>The</strong> plate made its last appearance in this work published by Lasor a Varea. On a full sheet (9 x 13") with Latin text
above the map and on verso. Ref: Burden #93. Somewhat light impression, otherwise very good. <strong>The</strong> sheet has a few marginal stains, but the map is not
affected. (B) $400-450
89. Western Hemisphere (Nieuwe Kaart van het Westelykste Deel der Weereld…naar Westindie), Tirion, Amsterdam, 1754. 14.2 x 13.3”. (HC) An attractive
map of the Americas that also includes a good bit of western Europe and Africa. <strong>The</strong> map 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. <strong>The</strong> entire western part of North America is virtually blank. <strong>The</strong> 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
named as Asia. A simple title cartouche and nice compass rose adorn the map. Issued folding, now pressed. <strong>The</strong> map has been professionally backed
with very fine tissue. (A) $375-425
90. Western Hemisphere (De l’Amerique en general), Clouet, Geographie Moderne, Paris, ca. 1785. 21.7 x 12.3”. (HC) Unusual and attractive map of the
Western Hemisphere with a dramatic Sea of the West prominently shown in the Pacific Northwest, along with an odd and amorphous Presqu-Isle du Nord
Ouest, or Near Island of the Northwest, showing a small solid coastline that is noted underneath in French as being land seen by the Russians. This map
is a compendium of actual discoveries blended with fantasy based on the Buache-Denis cartographic tradition referring to the Northwest Passage - but not
actually showing the complete passage. New Zealand is shown as a part of Terres Antarctic, but only the coastline as surveyed by Tasman in 1642 is shown
as solid, with the rest strongly hachured. A huge glacial sea at the pole bisects the Antarctic land mass. <strong>The</strong>se uncommon cartographical oddities were replicated
on the world map by Clouet of the same year as referenced in Tooley. Flanked by panels of French text, included in the total measurement. Ref: Tooley
[MCC-2] #80. Sharply engraved map with original hand color. Some toning and scattered foxing and small hole in text portion of map. (B)$250-300
91. 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 important map was first issued by De l’Isle in 1722 and is one of the most popular maps of the 18th Century. This map,
in various alterations was published by Delisle, Buache, D’Anville, Covens & Mortier and finally Dezauche. It is an early map to name the new United
States. <strong>The</strong> boundary of the United States is shown on the Mississippi River, but the individual state boundaries are still shown on the Appalacian Mountains.
<strong>The</strong> map shows 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 is a state not listed in Tooley, showing the inset of Cook’s explorations in the Pacific Northwest, but without the related key from the earlier
edition. <strong>The</strong> map was published in 1789, and still has the royal seal and crown on the top of the cartouche. This was removed after the establishment of
the French Republic in 1792. Ref: cf Tooley (Amer) p. 18, #26. Sharp impression and original outline color. Small repaired hole just south of the equator
in the Atlantic and a couple of ink smudges, but overall very good. (A) $800-1000
92. Western Hemisphere (L’Amerique Dressee pour l’Etude de la Geographie), Brion de la Tour/Desnos, Atlas General…, Paris, 1786. 20 x 13”. (HC)
Very decorative map with a landscape style title cartouche and several sailing ships. While the interior of the map contains little cartographic information,
the northwest part of North America is quite interesting. A large bay labeled, Entrée de Martin d’Aguilar en 1603, indents the coastline, while above that
a river and lake system provides a complex Northwest Passage. <strong>The</strong>re is a notation that the existence of a Sea of the West is questionable just above the
fictitious passage. This map has added panels of French letterpress flanking it. <strong>The</strong> map has some toning on the centerfold, as well as a couple of light
stains in the flanking text. <strong>The</strong>re is a tear just past the neat line of the map that has an old repair on the verso. (B) $200-275
93. Western Hemisphere (America), Probst, Atlas Minor ex Tabulis Geographicis, Augsburg, ca. 1789. 9.3 x 6.5”. (HC) Scarce, curious small map of the
Americas based on the cartography of Johann Schreiber. This is a very late depiction of the mythical island of California with the Terra Esonis Incognita
coastline stretching towards Asia. <strong>The</strong> title cartouche includes the incongruent appearance of an elephant and a lion. At right is a panel of German text
describing the regions and colonial possessions. Additional text is at the bottom. Ref: McLaughlin #242. Good impression and original color. Light damp
stains in margins and one unobtrusive spot in map. (B) $500-600
94. Western Hemisphere (Carte d’Amerique Divisee en ses Principaux Etats avec les Nouvelles Decouvertes…), Nolin, Paris, 1791. 29 x 20.5”. (HC) <strong>The</strong>
era of exploration is dramatically shown on this rare map. It was first issued by Jean Baptiste Louis Clouet in 1787 with a slightly different title (Carte
d’Amerique divisee en ses principaux Pays Dressee sur les Memoires les plus recents, et sur Differents Voyages). In this edition the plate has been revised
to eliminate the erroneous Sea of the West and update the inset to reveal the discoveries of Captain Cook in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska. In North
America, the young United States is shown to include Florida and Nova Scotia with a huge Louisiana Territory beyond. <strong>The</strong> tracts of explorers are shown,
including Quiros, Le Maire, Magellan, Mendana, Bougainville, Furneaux and Cook. <strong>The</strong> decorative title cartouche features a female personification of America
riding a particularly fierce alligator. Both states are extremely rare. Very good with a small stain near lower right border. <strong>The</strong> blank margin has a couple
of filled wormholes. (A) $1600-1800
95. Western Hemisphere (L’America divisa ne’ Suoi Principali Stati di Nuova Projezione), Zatta, Atlante Novissimo, Venice, 1796. 15.8 x 12”. (HC) This
handsome map of the Americas depicts the first voyage of Capt. Cook around South America and across the Pacific to New Zealand. In North America
a variety of interesting cartographic theories are evident. <strong>The</strong> mythical Northwest Passage and the supposed discoveries of Admiral de Fonte are prominently
depicted in the northern region. <strong>The</strong> interior river systems illustrates the persistent belief in a network of navigable waterways between the Mississippi
and the Pacific with Baron Lahontan’s Long River (F. Longo) and Le Page du Pratz’ Beautiful River (Bella Riviera ). <strong>The</strong> lovely title cartouche portrays
a sleeping lion. Ref: Wheat (TMW) #168. Delicate, original color and some very light toning on the centerfold, else fine. (A) $500-650

North America the United States extends to the Mississippi River and there are 14 states listed. Spain is shown in control of New Mexico, Louisiana and
Florida. <strong>The</strong> British possessions in Canada extend south on the west coast to San Francisco Bay. In South America, Spain and Portugal dominate the continent,
but the Magallania region is shown to be in native hands. Good impression and superb original color. Two folds as issued with faint offsetting, still overall
very good. (A) $850-950

map has a little offsetting otherwise very good. <strong>The</strong> other two are very good. Small ink spots in upper margin of third map. All with full margins.
$200-250
101. Western Hemisphere (America), Cruchley, London, ca. 1855. 13.8 x 17.5”. (HC) This attractive mid-nineteenth century map of North and South
America is colored by country and contains nice topographical and hydrographical information. In the United States the large western territories of Oregon,
Utah, and New Mexico are delineated, and the border with Mexico shows it is after the Gadsden Purchase of 1854. Just under the title is a note that the
Americas had a population of 60 million, with only four people per square mile. Original hand coloring. <strong>The</strong> map has archival tape repairs of short fold

103. North America (Amerique Septentrionale Par N. Sanson…), Sanson/Mariette, Carte generales de toutes les parties, du monde, Paris, 1669. 21.8 x 15.5”.
(HC) Handsome and important map by Guillaume Sanson, who in partnership with Pierre Mariette, based this map on his father’s scarce 1666 wallmap
of North America. This depiction re<strong>place</strong>d Nicolas Sanson’s landmark map of 1650 in this atlas. Cartographically it is an amalgam of Sanson’s maps
of “Le Canada, ou Nouvelle France” and “Le Nouveau Mexique, et La Floride.” <strong>The</strong> Arctic bears the confused cartography typical of this date, with Greenland
shown as three islands, and another three island mass in Baffin Bay. <strong>The</strong> map extends to include Iceland, as well as a bit of Britain. Lake Erie is shown
in a recognizable form and the entire Great Lakes network is shown in greater detail, although still with the western lakes open-ended. On the East coast,
Long Island is shown near the R. de Nort, or Hudson River, and the shape of the Outer Banks is improved. Delaware is noted as N. Suede, the first such
<strong>place</strong> name on a printed map referring to the Swedish colony located there in 1638. <strong>The</strong> island of California is now shown with an indented northern coast,
in the form originating with Luke Foxe’s map of 1635, and popularized by Sanson. Several Indian tribes are identified in New Mexico where the R. del
Norte (Rio Grande) mistakenly flows from an interior lake and empties into the Mar Vermeio ou Mer Rouge (Gulf of California). First state of this map.
Ref: Burden #404; Tooley (Amer), p. 114; and McLaughlin #45. Excellent impression with original color printed on fine paper with an elaborate watermark.
A couple of small stains are all that keep this map from being perfect. (B) $3250-4250
104. North America (Americque Septentrionale Par N. Sanson d’Abberville Geographe du Roy), Sanson, Introduction a l’histoire de l’Asie…et de l’Amerique,
Paris, ca. 1680. 6.5 x 5.8”. (HC) This map features California as an island. It is very similar to Sanson’s other small maps of North America, except the
northern shore of California is more indented, but still sloping up toward the east. All five Great Lakes are shown but still misshapen and opened to the
west. <strong>The</strong> Mississippi River has numerous tributaries, but barely rises above Spanish Florida with no obvious origin. <strong>The</strong>re are many <strong>place</strong> names within
Nouveau Mexique including Santa Fe and Grenade. <strong>The</strong> British colonies are shown simply as Nouvelle Angleterre and Virginie. <strong>The</strong> decorative title cartouche
at upper right and the fleur-de-lys are adorned with gold leaf. Ref: McLaughlin #91. Very clean and bright with a crisp impression with some color bleed
through on verso. Binding edge a bit ragged. (A) $400-600
105. North America (America Borealis multis in locis Dei Matrem colit & honorat…), Scherer, Munich, 1699. 13.8 x 9”. (HC) This richly engraved map
shows the island of California with a large, central mountain range. It shows the Mississippi River originating in two large lakes in present-day Canada,
and the island of California is depicted with an indented top coast on the later Sanson model. A small part of the imaginary land of Anian is separated
from the mainland by the Fretum Anian. This map of North America is from a series that was created by Scherer to show the spread of Catholicism throughout
the New <strong>World</strong>. <strong>The</strong> Jesuit missions in Mexico and Central America are depicted with a small symbol of a star in a circle. <strong>The</strong> map is decorated with
a pictorial title cartouche depicting the conversion of Native Americans to Christianity. Ships and sea monsters embellish the oceans Ref: McLaughlin
#129. (A) $1400-1700
106. North America (Repraesentatio Americae Borealis Cuius Provinciae Vera Fide Illuminatae Umbram Non Habent…), Scherer, Atlas Novus, Munich,
ca. 1702. 14 x 9.5”. (BW) This is one of the most graphic and beautifully engraved maps in Scherer’s series of North American maps. California is depicted
as an island with a nearly flat northern coast and only two <strong>place</strong> names in the south. <strong>The</strong> map is engraved with various shading to show the areas converted
to Christianity, those exposed to the gospel, and those still heathen. Lighter shades denote where missions are located and, according to the cartouche,
the habitants have been illuminated in true faith. <strong>The</strong> map is richly decorated with cartouches held aloft by cherubs, a fabulous sea monster, and a large
ship bearing Jesuit priests sailing in the Atlantic. <strong>The</strong> entire Pacific region contains a scene of Christ in a wheat field surrounded by six followers with
sickles. Plaques above and below quote passages from Matthew and John regarding spreading the gospel. An interesting map illustrating a different
perspective on colonization. Ref: McLaughlin #162; Tooley (America) plt. #60. Very nice impression. <strong>The</strong>re is a little hinge remnant on the verso. (A)
$1300-1500
107. North America (America Septentrionalis Studio Guilielmi de l’Isle…), Weigel, Nuremberg, ca. 1725. 16.3 x 12.5”. (HC) This scarce decorative map
is based on Delisle’s foundation map of North America. It shows a peninsular California with C. Mendocin as the farthest northern point on West Coast.
<strong>The</strong> English settlements are confined east of the Alleghenies with Carolina shown as a French colony. <strong>The</strong> Mississippi River valley is well developed
with recent French settlements located. <strong>The</strong> interior is filled with the names of various Indian nations. At lower left is a plan of Halifax. <strong>The</strong> map is exquisitely
adorned with two large vignette-style cartouches depicting Native Americans and exotic animals. Original color. (A+) $1400-1700
108. North America (L’Amerique Septentrionale Dressee sur les Observations de Mrs. de l’Academie Royale des Sciences…), Delisle/Covens & Mortier,
Amsterdam, ca. 1730. 22.8 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. C. Mendocin is the farthest northern point on California,
and the north portion of the continent is left blank. <strong>The</strong> Great Lakes are well-defined, based on Coronelli with French forts noted. <strong>The</strong> English settlements
are confined east of the Alleghenies, and the Spanish forts are clustered around Santa Fe. <strong>The</strong> Mississippi River valley area is well developed with recent
French settlements. <strong>The</strong> first mention of what would be called the Sargasso Sea is noted in the North Atlantic. <strong>The</strong> map is decorated with an aquatic-themed
figural cartouche and a draped scale of miles. Ref: Tooley (Amer) #33, p.19; Wheat [TMW] #137. Nearly fine with an extremely sharp impression and
light oxidation and offsetting of the original outline color. (B) $1500-1800
109. North America (Amerique du Nord), Dufour, Geographie de Balbi, Paris, ca. 1830. 12 x 8.8”. (HC) This finely engraved map features the region in
Texas known as the Republic of Fredonia. <strong>The</strong> so-called Fredonia Rebellion was one of three conflicts leading to the independence of Texas. Fredonia
was located in northeastern Texas, but is here depicted in the southern portion. Fredonia is rarely seen; in fact to our knowledge it is found on only a few

published maps. This map locates the settlements of Nacogdoches and St. Antonio. In the Pacific Northwest, Oregon Territory extends well into Canada,
an early indication of the Fifty-Four Forty or Fight dispute. Alaska is Russie Americaine. Panel of text (“Tableau Statistique”) at left. A most desirable
Texas item. <strong>The</strong> map has full margins, original hand coloring and crisp engraved lines. <strong>The</strong> map is very good to fine less a small hole at bottom center
in a blank, un-engraved area near the centerfold. (B) $200-300
110. North America ([Lot of 2] Nord-America [and] Amerique du Nord), ca. 1835. x ”. (HC) Interesting pair of European maps of North America published
during the controversy between Britian and the United States concerning the boundary in the Pacific Northwest .
1) Nord-America is an unusual, small map by J. N. Champion depicting the British view of the Pacific Northwest with a meandering boundary dipping
down to the Columbia River. <strong>The</strong> border between the United States and Mexico shows Texas to be a part of Neu Mexico. (9.8 x 8.1")
2) Amerique du Nord is a beautifully detailed map by Vuillemin showing Oregon territorial claims extending up into Canada to North latitude 54 40', with
Texas shown as part of Mexico. <strong>The</strong> map is enclosed in a frame-style border. (7.75 x 10") Map 2 with some light soil, otherwise both are fine. (A)

present-day British Columbia at the latitude of 54 40'. Missouri Territory extends from the shores of Lake Michigan, south to the Red River and west
to the Rockies. <strong>The</strong> entire Southwest is part of Mexico, with Texas named as a town inside the state of Saint Louis de Potosi. A small inset of the Aleutian
islands is included in the bottom left corner. <strong>The</strong> map has original outline color and a nice, sharp impression. (A) $180-230
112. North America ([Lot of 2 - North America]), Paris, ca. 1840. 8.5 x 10.6”. 1) Amerique Septentrionale en 1840 Dressee sous la Direction, 1840, Antoine

America, Canada is depicted as Canada West, Canada East and British Possessions. <strong>The</strong> states within the U.S. and Mexico are not delineated. Numerous
Indian tribes located throughout. Gold Regions noted in Colorado and California. Both are near very good. <strong>The</strong> first has a short tear at binding trim
just into border, closed on verso. <strong>The</strong> Mitchell map is very good with no flaws. It appears the color has been refreshed. (B) $75-100
113. North America (Amerique Septentrionale), Levasseur, Atlas Universel Illustre, Paris, ca. 1845. 17 x 11”. (HC) This terrific copper engraved map shows
the United States extending into present-day Canada, with Russia in control of Alaska, the Republic of Texas, and Mexico’s northern border is drawn
according to the Treaty of 1819 (here mis-printed as 1810). Surrounded by richly colored and beautifully engraved scenes of North and Central America
including wildlife, a ship stranded in the polar sea, and a Mayan temple. Right margin has a couple small creases. Very light and scattered foxing. (A)
$300-400
114. North America (North America), Virtue, London, ca. 1850. 10 x 13”. (HC) Similar to Tallis’ map of North America, this map has different vignettes:
Capt. Perry wintering in the Arctic Regions; White Bears; Hunting the Buffalo; Indian Chief (after Catlin); Falls of Niagara; Geysers, Iceland; Whale Fishery;
First Landing of Columbus and Remains of Ancient Temple, Mexico. <strong>The</strong> map features a pre-Gadsden border. In the United States the map names only
Oregon Territory, Missouri Territory, California, Texas and Florida. It has very good detail of the watershed with many rivers named. Locates many
towns and settlements, and shows an extensive railroad system in the east. New Mexico is in a small, early configuration between Texas and the large
region of California. Alaska is Russian Territory and Canada is British Territory. In the Caribbean the Bahamas and Antilles are well shown. Very fancy
border and title cartouche. Fine, original outline color. <strong>The</strong> map is close trimmed along left margin, just into the border. (B) $200-250
115. North America (Amerique Septentrionale), Levasseur, Atlas Universel Illustre, Paris, ca. 1850. 17 x 11”. (HC) Lovely map of North America depicting
the United States extending into present-day Canada. Russia is in control of Alaska, and Mexico’s northern border is shown according to the Adams-
Onis Treaty of 1819 (misprinted 1810). <strong>The</strong> map is surrounded by beautifully engraved scenes of North and Central America including local animals,
a ship stranded in the polar sea, and a Mayan Temple. Original outline color in map with delicate, later color in vignettes. (A) $250-325

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. <strong>The</strong> map is based largely on Delisle’s map of 1703 (Carte du Mexique et de la Floride). <strong>The</strong> British colonies are
shown confined east of the Appalachians. <strong>The</strong> map itself is filled with settlement <strong>place</strong> 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 between many ships. Ref: Van Ermen p.42; cf Cumming (SE) #137;
Manasek #72; Martin & Martin plt.17. Lovely impression and color with some irregular toning and a few minor spots. (B) $1500-2000
117. Colonial North America (Amplissimae Regionis Mississipi seu Provinciae Ludovicianae…), Homann, Nuremberg, ca. 1730. 22.8 x 19”. (HC) This
map is based on Delisle’s landmark map of 1718, but covers a slightly larger area. It focuses on the American interior and Great Lakes. Its most outstanding
features are the vignettes of a buffalo and Native Americans in a cartouche filling the Atlantic and a beaver colony at Niagara Falls under the title cartouche.
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.
His purported route and those of other explorers are traced on the map. Ref: Goss (NA) #49; cf Cumming (SE) #170. Nice impression and original color.
<strong>The</strong> map has repairs along the centerfold that, though sound, would benefit from re<strong>place</strong>ment. <strong>The</strong> lower corners of the margins have been re<strong>place</strong>d, include
a bit of facsimile neatline of the bottom right corner. (B) $1600-1800
118. Colonial North America (Mappa Geographica Regionem Mexicanam et Floridam. Terrasque adjacentes, ut et Anteriores Americae Insulas, Cursius
itidem et Reditus Navigantium versus flumen Missispi et alias Colonias…), Seutter, Augsburg, ca. 1730. 22.7 x 18.7”. (HC) This is Mathias Seutter’s
decorative and beautifully engraved version of Delisle’s important map of 1703 (Carte du Mexique et de la Floride). It provides a view of North America
from the Great Lakes through the West Indies. <strong>The</strong> British colonies are confined east of the Appalachian Mountains, France controls the Mississippi
valley and Florida, and Spain possesses Mexico; political divisions as dictated by the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713. New Mexico is finely described with
many native tribes and pueblos noted, including Acoma, Santa Clara, Isleta and more. While geographically nearly identical to Delisle’s chart, this map
is very ornate with the lower left corner filled with a huge sea battle and the Atlantic filled with four inset plans of Panama, Havana, Cartagena and Vera
Cruz. Ref: Martin & Martin, p. 93, plt. 18. Some spots of soil in map, with an old paper repair on bottom centerfold and a couple of tiny, marginal tears.

les Parties du Globe Terrestre, Paris, 1779. 17 x 27.3”. (HC) This interesting Revolutionary War period map shows the region embroiled in the conflict
and extends from eastern Canada and Greenland to Tobago in the West Indies. In Canada, it includes an interesting depiction of a passage between Lake
Winnipeg and Hudson Bay alluding to a possible Northwest Passage to the Pacific. French Louisiane is sandwiched between Mexique and the British
Colonies with their western boundary on the Mississippi River. Nice detail, particularly of the French forts and Indian villages. This map began life in
1771 with the title “Partie de l’Amerique Septentrionale, qui comprend le Canada, la Louisiane, le Labrador, le Groenland, la Nouvelle Angleterre, la Floride
&c.” It went through several editions to 1783, with title changes to reflect the changing political climate. Printed on 3 joined sheets, as issued. Ref: McCorkle
#771.2 & 779.2; Sellers & Van Ee #165. Original outline color with a bit of faint toning, still very good. (A) $1600-1800

120. Colonial North America, Caribbean (Carte du Mexique et des Etats Unis d’Amerique, Partie Meridionale…), Delisle/Dezauche, Atlas Geographique
et Universel, Paris, 1783. 25.5 x 18.8”. (HC) This is a very early map to name the United States, as 1783 is the earliest it appears on any map. This
is the last issue of Delisle’s map that covers most of the current United States, Mexico, Central America and the West Indies. Considered a foundation
map, the first edtiion was the first printed map to correctly show the course of the Mississippi, accurately <strong>place</strong> the Great Lakes and locate many English
coastal settlements. Its longevity and numerous copies by other mapmakers attest to its importance. Dezauche was Buache’s son-in-law and the successor
to the Delisle business. Dezauche has here altered the original title to include the words “Etats Unis.” He also added a legend and color-code to show the
colonial possessions of England, France, Spain and the extent of the United States. <strong>The</strong> bold, strong engraving provides good detail of cities, watersheds,
and is decorated with title and scale of miles cartouches. Ref: Tooley, (Amer) p.22 #53; cf Cumming (SE) #137; Martin (TX) p.92-3. Original outline
color with a couple of faint stains in ocean, else very good. (B) $1600-2000
121. Western North America (Carte Generale des Decouvertes de l’Amiral de Fonte, et autres Navigateurs Espagnols, Anglois et Russes pour la recherche
du Passage a la Mer du Sud), Robert de Vaugondy/Diderot, Diderot’s Encyclopedia (Supplement), Paris, ca. 1752. 15 x 11.3”. (BW) This is one of the
more remarkable combinations of fact and fiction ever published. This map of the North Pacific and Northwest had as its source a 1708 article in the Monthly
Miscellany that purported to be a newly discovered account of a voyage in 1640 by the Spanish Admiral, Bartholomew de Fonte. <strong>The</strong>reafter, the newly
presented information was changed and elaborated upon, notably by this series of maps which appeared in Diderot’s Encyclopedia. In its concept, it
promoted the hopes of a Northwest Passage and depicts the existence of Mer de l’Ouest or the Sea of the West. <strong>The</strong> tracks for the Russian exploration
in 1741 and other explorers are traced in the Pacific. Inset at upper left is a small map, “Carte dressee Sur la lettre de l’Amiral de Fonte par l’Ecrivain de
la Californie” detailing the purported track of Admiral de Fonte. Ref: Hayes pp. 26-27; Pedley #455. Superb impression, on fine paper with centerfold

au Nord Ouest), Robert de Vaugondy, Diderot’s Encyclopedie (Supplement), Paris, [1772]. 14.75 x 11.25”. (BW) This is probably the most extravagant
of all the Northwest Passage maps. Thomas Jefferys was an ardent believer in the northern route to Asia and prepared this map to show the passage,
and especially its entrance on the West Coast, as described by Juan de Fuca in 1592, and in the fictitious story of Bartholomew de Font’s discoveries in
1640. Alaska is shown in an early form based on the map of Mueller. This map is from a set of maps prepared by Didier Robert de Vaugondy to illustrate
the articles written by Samuel Engel concerning the recent discoveries and cartographic theories in the northern regions. Ref: Pedley #454; Hayes #34.

by Plancius issued in 1641, while the larger map is based on Visscher’s map of 1612. Other than a recognizable Baja California, the maps are filled with
the cartographic myths of the 17th century. <strong>The</strong> northwest coast bulges too far to the west. Both maps feature the seven cities of Cibola gathered around
a spurious lake in the American Southwest. Ref: Wheat (TMW) #159; Wagner (NW) #632; Pedley #473. (A+) $275-350

A beautiful map of Maine and northeastern Canada, including Nova Scotia, Labrador and Newfoundland. This is the second state of the map originally
drawn by Seutter and engraved by Lotter, with Lotter’s imprint in the title cartouche. <strong>The</strong> map’s vertical format elongates the geography and distorts

<strong>The</strong> American Military Pocket Atlas, also known as the Holster Atlas carried by British redcoats, and Thomas Jeffrey’s American Atlas. <strong>The</strong> western
boundaries of most of the thirteen colonies are left open, but the colonial claims extend to the Mississippi River. A key at the upper left lists the British
territories claimed in North America, including the Hudson Bay Company lands, the Reserved Lands west of Appalachia to the Ohio and Mississippi
rivers, in addition to both East and West Florida. A notation west of Hudson Bay notes that if there is a Northwest Passage, it would be through one

maps were early examples of the efforts of Robert Mills and Asa Whitney to advocate for the development of railroad routes to the Pacific. <strong>The</strong>se men,
with extraordinary vision, recognized the importance of trade to the Far East. <strong>The</strong>ir Memorials to Congress eventually led to the Pacific Railroad Surveys
and ultimately to the construction of our transcontinental railroad system.

the state and territory borders instead of the Military Districts. It locates forts, camps and military posts throughout. This map shows the transitional
western territories as they were during 1864, with an early configuration of Arizona Territory, a huge Idaho Territory, and only one Dakota. West Virginia
is shown just after its 1863 division from Virginia. Nine insets of southern harbor towns are arranged to the right and bottom: Baltimore, Washington,

95]. 27.7 x 16.5”. (PC) This interesting and historical set of Civil War maps is rarely offered together. <strong>The</strong> first map is dated Dec. 31, 1860 and shows
South Carolina as the only seceding state. <strong>The</strong> detail in the West includes the location of Army posts, routes of early explorers, U.S. mail routes, the Santa
Fe Trail, Pony Express Route, etc. Succeeding maps reflect changes each six months in Department Boundaries, status of Confederate States, territorial
boundary changes, and notations regarding the operations of Union Army forces. This represents the complete collection of maps as published with the

162. Colonial United States (Novissima Tabula Regionis Ludovicianae Gallice Dictae la Louisiane), Weigel, Nuremberg, ca. 1734. 16 x 12.3”. (HC) Uncommon
map based on Delisle’s seminal charting of the French possession of Louisiana that drew together the cartographic work of the previous half century. <strong>The</strong>
map is important for its delineation of the French claims concerning the region between their possessions in the Mississippi valley and the Spanish
possessions in New Mexico. Thus Texas is shown here under French control. It also 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. <strong>The</strong> large figurative cartouche shows
two gentlemen negotiating a chest of coins for a stock certificate, in reference to the famous Mississippi Bubble investment scheme. <strong>The</strong> 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.
John Law, a Scottish financier, established the French Compagnie de la Louisiane d’Occident, in 1717 and was granted control of French Louisiana. Law
developed an elaborate plan to exploit the fabulous resources of the region, which quickly gained popularity and people rushed to invest. <strong>The</strong> term millionaire
was coined during this time to describe these newly rich folk. 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, confidence in other similar companies failed,
such as the South Sea investment company in England and thousands of individual investors across Europe were ruined. Ref: Fite & Freeman #46; Tooley

map of the eastern seaboard with a large inset at upper left that continues the main map from Cape Fear south through the Carolinas and Georgia to F.
St. Georges. <strong>The</strong> map is based on the seminal map by John Mitchell, published in 1755, the same year this plate was initially engraved. <strong>The</strong> mapping
of the trans-Allegheny and Great Lakes regions and in the interior of New England is of particular interest, for this shows some of the earliest accurate
information of these regions incorporating data from the Mitchell, Evans and Fry-Jefferson maps. This is the second state with the final line below the
title “Avec Privilege 1755” removed. <strong>The</strong> 1763 Treat of Paris boundary is shown as a dotted line. Pennsylvania extendes to take in most or presentday
New York and in New England New-Hamp-Shire and Prov. De Sagadahock have been added. A handsome title cartouche engraved by Groux fills

165. United States - Eastern (<strong>The</strong> United States of America, according to the Treaty of Peace of 1784), Russell, London, ca. 1795. 8 x 7”. (HC) A very
early map that details the fledgling states and the Indian lands east of the Mississippi River. <strong>The</strong> 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. <strong>The</strong> area northeast of the upper Mississippi River is largely unorganized with a few rivers, forts and settlements. Locates Detroit,
the Lake of the Woods, and Upper and Lower Iowa 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 at the fifteenth state and appears to extend
to the Mississippi River. It is dissected into three sections by hand coloring. 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. <strong>The</strong> Twenty Leagues Line is drawn in the Atlantic. Near the left margin is the “References to the States,” listing
only fifteen. <strong>The</strong> title misdates the Treaty of Paris to 1784, instead of 1783. Ref: McCorkle #795-11. Moderate foxing in the image and some damp staining
in margins. Folded as issued on fine paper with original margins. (B) $120-160

Mississippi River. <strong>The</strong> map has many <strong>place</strong> names, and it includes small villages in the frontier and names Toronto, Detroit, Leestown, Lexington, and
Boonsborough. <strong>The</strong> historical settlement of Ninety Six in South Carolina, established in the early 1700’s, was named from the mistaken belief that it was
96 miles from the nearest Cherokee settlement of Keowee. Ninety Six figured prominently in the Anglo-Cherokee War and also in the Southern Campaign
of the American Revolution. In fact the first land battle of the Revolution south of New England was fought there in 1775. <strong>The</strong> map also locates the Dismal
Swamp, numerous trails and roads, and more. <strong>The</strong> map continues on the same scale in an inset of the Carolinas and Georgia, south to the St. Marys River.
<strong>The</strong> title is contained in a simple oval cartouche. Ref: McCorkle #800.4. Fine impression printed on thick hand-laid paper with original margins and a

by James Webster from Humphrey Phelps’ plate of 1832. Phelp’s name has been erased and Webster’s has been added on the lower right. George
Washington’s portrait decorates this map along with a chart of the population of the United States in 1830. <strong>The</strong> map shows a large Missouri Territory
reaching from Missouri and stretching to the Rocky Mountains. Wisconsin Territory is massive and includes the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and a
portion of Minnesota. Arkansas gained statehood the year this map was published, but it is still shown as a territory. Texas is named as part of Mexico.

Fisher, New York, 1856. 30.5 x 25”. (HC) This scarce and brilliantly colored folding map covers the eastern half of the United States. <strong>The</strong> map was
compiled by Fisher, who wrote the text for Colton’s Atlas of the <strong>World</strong> (1855) and for many of Colton’s gazetteers and guides. <strong>The</strong>re is a wonderful
inset of the continent of North America which is presented in the same brilliant color, and shows the continent extending to include a large portion of Greenland
and a bit of South America. <strong>The</strong> map was issued in at least two other versions in 1856; one without the inset, and one with an inset of New York City.
A very ornate border and very graphic title help make this map both an enjoyable and informative example. Ref: cf Modelski #30. <strong>The</strong> map has light,
scattered foxing, a couple of small spots, the usual small fold separations, and a glue stain where the paper is adhered to the board. <strong>The</strong> covers are very

Geographically the map follows Jansson including the <strong>place</strong>ment of nearly every European settlement along the coastline and rivers. <strong>The</strong> land is fully
engraved to show forests and mountains, and tiny animals fill the interior. <strong>The</strong> large pictorial title cartouche shows Native Americans in a variety of
occupations. Ref: Campbell (MCC-24) #21; McCorkle #671.1. Sharp impression on a sheet watermarked with a jester. <strong>The</strong> right and left margins are

174. Colonial New England (Nova Anglia Septentrionali Americae implantata Anglorumque coloniis florentissima), Homann, Nuremberg, ca. 1720. 23 x
19.2”. (HC) This is an attractive map showing the English colonies of Nova Anglia and New Jarsey and the Dutch colony of Novum Belgium - Nieuw
Nederland - New Jork. It covers the region from Delaware Bay to Eastport, Maine. Numerous soundings and navigation hazards are noted along the coastlines.
Oversized lakes appear in the interior of New England and New York, notably Lake Champlain (which is grossly mis<strong>place</strong>d) and Sennecaas Lacus. Cape
Cod and Cape Ann are both depicted as islands and Boston Harbor is exceedingly large. <strong>The</strong> fictitious region of Norumbeag is <strong>place</strong>d 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.
<strong>The</strong> cartouche depicts a European sea captain negotiating with an Indian chief. <strong>The</strong>y 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. Sharp impression printed on sturdy paper with strong original

175. Colonial New England (Recens Edita totius Novi Belgii, in America Septentrionali…), Seutter/Lotter, Augsburg, ca. 1757. 22.6 x 19.6”. (HC) This
dramatic map is the Seutter/Lotter version of Allard’s map, Totius Neobelgii Nova et Accuratissima Tabula, including a faithful rendition of the famous
Restitutio View of Manhattan commemorating the Dutch short-lived recapture of New Amsterdam in 1673 - the British recaptured the city only a year
later. <strong>The</strong> view depicts the town as seen directly from the east. On the right is a wall that eventually became Wall Street with its guardhouse and gate.
Adjacent to the wall are new settlements and the Collect Pond, used to collect fresh water. Above the view is a long procession of natives carrying American
goods to the Holy Roman Emperor, Charles VI, who is being attended by Hermes, god of commerce, Athena, goddess of wisdom, and Hera, who is standing
over a chest of gold coins.

<strong>The</strong> map itself is from the influential Jansson-Visscher series, which formed the basis for the mapping of the Atlantic seaboard and New England for nearly
one hundred years. <strong>The</strong> cartography follows Visscher’s modifications and includes much new information that reflects the Anglicization that had occurred
during the period of English rule (1664-1673). Lacus Irocoisiensis (Lake Champlain) remains radically mis<strong>place</strong>d to the east of the Connecticut River,
the St. Lawrence River and Ottawa River are intertwined, and the coast of New England is still imperfectly mapped. <strong>The</strong> map shows the locations of
many native tribes, with two fortified native villages shown. A wide variety of animals are illustrated throughout the map, more than in the Allard version,
with the addition of domesticated cows and chickens as well as elk, bear, fox and wild turkeys. This is the fourth state with Tobias Conrad Lotter’s imprint
replacing Seutter’s imprint, and with Briston for Boston. Ref: Tooley, (Amer): Campbell p.291-292 #26a; McCorkle 730.5; cf Stokes p. 233, plt. 16B.

the most influential maps of this area published during the eighteenth century. It provides an excellent source of early <strong>place</strong> names and locates numerous
land grants, towns, roads, trails, portages, forts, farms and topography. (A) $1000-1200
178. Northeastern United States, New York (An accurate Map of New York in North America, from a late Survey), Anon., Universal Magazine, London,
[1780]. 10.5 x 13”. (HC) Despite the title, this map centers on New York but also covers parts of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut Massachusetts
and Vermont. It provides an excellent view of colonial settlements, forts and roads. Three different boundary line claims are shown between New Jersey
and New York. West of the Delaware River are Endless Mountains and northern New York is labeled Hunting Grounds. Ref: Jolly UNIV-187; Sellers
& Van Ee #1112. Issued folding, now pressed and remargined all around. (B) $300-350
179. United States - New England (Carte de la Partie Nord des Etats Unis de l’Amerique Septentrionale), Bonne, Raynal’s Atlas de toutes les parties connues
du globe terrestre, Geneva, ca. 1783. 12.7 x 8.4”. (BW) This very early map presents the newly-formed United States. It covers the region from northern
Virginia to Maine (Machasuzet Bay), and westward to include Lake Erie. <strong>The</strong> map has good topographical detail, and it also includes numerous settlements,
forts, and Indian villages. Four distance scales at upper left. Ref: McCorkle #782.1; Sellers & van Ee #744. Near fine example with dark impression and
wide margins printed on a thick sheet of hand-laid paper. <strong>The</strong>re are a few very tiny (pin sized) holes and one area of abrasion in blank margins, well away
from map image. (A) $180-200
180. United States - New England (Post Route Map of the States of Massachusetts, Rhode Island & Connecticut), U.S. Government, Washington D.C.,
1911. 44.5 x 33.5”. (PC) Fascinating wall map showing the postal routes in this region during the beginning of the 20th century. <strong>The</strong> map is filled with
detail of the roads and railroads, and at the bottom are tables for the counties in Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island as well as a separate table
that lists a key for postal routes and mail service frequency, in addition to the location of post offices, both current and discontinued. <strong>The</strong> map has some
toning across the top and bottom from the wood rollers as well as a few spots in the map. Still good for a map of this type. (B) $150-100
181. Colonial Chesapeake Bay (Nova Virginiae Tabula), Hondius/Blaeu, Amsterdam, ca. 1640. 18.7 x 14.7”. (BW) This is one of the most important
seventeenth century maps of the Chesapeake Bay region. <strong>The</strong> 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. <strong>The</strong> plate was engraved by D. Grijp
and originally published by Jodocus Hondius Jr. in 1618. It was purchased by Willem Blaeu shortly after Hondius’ death (1629) and Bleau’s imprint
re<strong>place</strong>d that of Hondius. Latin text on verso with the last line, Africa D Minus, which is not recorded by Burden. Ref: Burden #193. Fine, dark impression
printed on sturdy paper with wide original margins. <strong>The</strong>re is light soil and an old fold repair in blank margins. (A) $3250-3750
182. Colonial Chesapeake Bay (Nova Virginiae Tabula), Montanus, De Nieuwe En Onbekende Wereld, Amsterdam, [1671]. 13.8 x 11.3”. (BW) This is
a very decorative, carefully made map based on the Hondius/Blaeu version of John Smith’s prototype of Virginia and the Chesapeake Bay. It is beautifully
engraved with mountains, rivers, and forests and provides a wealth of information concerning the Indian villages in the region. <strong>The</strong> title and distance scale
cartouches feature putti and a scene at upper right features Native Americans with a llama, unicorn and a fat-tailed sheep. This is state one, printed on
paper watermarked with a jester. Ref: Tooley (Amer) p.168-9, plt. 76; Goss (NA) #38. Sharp impression. Left margin professionally extended with
some facsimile of neat line. (B) $1300-1500
183. Colonial Chesapeake Bay (A Map of Virginia and Maryland), Speed/Lamb, A Prospect of the Most Famous Parts of the <strong>World</strong>, London, ca. 1676.
19.3 x 14.8”. (BW) This famous map of the Chesapeake region is the last major derivative of John Smith’s map of Virginia; but it is unique in that it also
draws on the influential map by Augustine Herman of 1673 - thus becoming a transitional map between two important prototypes. <strong>The</strong> delineation of
the land area follows Smith while the toponymic details are based on Herman. <strong>The</strong> plate was engraved by Francis Lamb in his vivid style with topography
artistically depicted and large title and scale cartouches. Speed’s atlas was the first world atlas produced wholly in England. It was first published in 1627
without any maps of the American colonies. It was not until the last edition (47 years after Speed’s death), by Thomas Bassett and Richard Chiswell,
that the new maps of America, engraved by Francis Lamb, were added. No text on verso. Ref: Tooley (Amer) p.170, Derivative 9, state 1. Map has
been trimmed to neatline all around. <strong>The</strong>re are a couple of old repairs of small punctures, one on centerfold and the other just inside the left border near
Musketo Inlet. (B) $4500-5500
184. United States - Mid-Atlantic (Chart of the Head of Navigation of the Potomac River Shewing the Route of the Alexandria Canal Made in Pursuance
of a Resolution of the Alexa. Canal Company Oct. 1838…), U.S. War Department, Washington D.C., 1838. 36 x 19”. (BW) This is a large-scale map
(4" to 1000') showing Alexandria, Georgetown and Washington. Details are shown along the banks. <strong>The</strong> route of the canal is sketched from the Potomac
Aqueduct (site of the Key Bridge) south to Alexandria. Locates the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, the Cannon Foundry, U.S. Arsenal, the Columbia Turnpike
and Alexandria and Washington Turnpike, and more. This map has the most crisp image we’ve seen in a map from this period. Lithograph by W.J. Stone,
Washington, D.C. Ref: Phillips (M) p. 724 A beautiful, crisp and clean example. With a little binder’s roughness along left trim just touching neatline,
else fine. (A) $200-250
185. Maryland and Delaware (A New Map of Maryland and Delaware with their Canals, Roads & Distances), Mitchell/Cowperthwait/Desilver, New
Universal Atlas, Philadelphia, [1855]. 13.3 x 10”. (HC) Attractive map with nice detail of the counties, cities, roads and railways. Table at top lists Steam
Boat Routes - Baltimore to Norfolk, Baltimore to Philadelphia and Baltimore to Washington, and an inset table lists the population according to the census
of 1850 compared with earlier periods. Nice impression and original coloring. A little marginal toning and one tiny tear, not affecting map. (A)
$110-130
186. Gulf Coast and Florida (A Map of the New Governments, of East & West Florida), Gibson, Gentleman’s Magazine, London, [1763]. 9.8 x 7.5”. (BW)
This map was published in November 1763, just a few weeks after the British acquisition of Florida at the conclusion of the French and Indian War. <strong>The</strong>
region was divided into two British provinces, East and West Florida. <strong>The</strong> division was along the Apalachicola River; the boundary line for the Royal
Proclamation of 1763 that extended from the Ohio River to Florida along the watershed of the Appalachian and Allegheny Mountains. <strong>The</strong> Proclamation
was designed to reduce confrontation between Indians and colonists by outlawing English settlement west of the line. East Florida encompassed primarily
the Florida peninsula; West Florida included the Gulf Coast region from the Apalachicola River to the Mississippi River south of the thirty-first degree

of latitude. <strong>The</strong> map locates many settlements, swamps, and rivers. Southern Florida is split by a maze of waterways, giving the appearance that it is
made up of numerous small islands. A large inset, “Plan of the Harbour and Settlement of Pensacola” provides good detail of the Bay of Sta. Maria Galres
(now Pensacola Bay) complete with soundings. Ref: Jolly GENT-171; Cumming (SE) #336. Dark impression printed on thick hand-laid paper. Left
margin has been trimmed into border just to the inner neatline. (B) $200-250
187. Gulf Coast and Florida ([Lot of 2] Pais Cedes, Sheet Ist containing the Coast of Louisiana and Florida [and] Pais Cedes, Sheet II d. containing the Peninsula
& Gulf of Florida, with the Bahama Islands), Jefferys, London, ca. 1768. 25 x 19.3”. (BW) This rare pair of charts was the forerunner of Jefferys’ 1775
edition titled “<strong>The</strong> Coast of West Florida and Louisiana” and “<strong>The</strong> Peninsula and Gulf of Florida…” A cursory comparison of the two editions shows
a couple of important differences. <strong>The</strong> coastline west of the Mississippi Delta is marked “A Flat Coast little known” and the Florida Peninsula is lacking
solid coastlines with the interior a mass of interconnected waterways. <strong>The</strong> maps are traced with manuscript rhumb lines that appear to be contemporary
with the issuance of the maps. Not listed in Steven & Tree and we can find no evidence of the charts being on the market in the last 25 years. (<strong>The</strong> second
map has been pictured first) Ref: cf Stevens & Tree #26. Professional repairs on minor fold separations, else near fine. (A) $6000-8000
188. Colonial South (Luigiana Inglese, Colla Parte Occidentale della Florida, della Giorgia, e Carolina Meridonale), Zatta, Atlante Novissimo, Venice, ca. 1778.
16.5 x 12.5”. (HC) This map shows a great regional description of New Orleans and details the Gulf Coast to Florida, and the valley of the Mississippi
River north above Akansa and Po. Ozier. It also details Mobile Bay and the course of the Albama river and tributaries. <strong>The</strong> prominent trading route in
the north nearly reaches the Mississippi River and even marks distances between important points. <strong>The</strong> map extends to show the region of Capo S. Biagio
and the course of the Apalachicola River. <strong>The</strong> map is sheet X from Zatta’s Le Colonie Unite dell’ America Settentrle, which is often referred to as the
Italian edition of John Mitchell’s map, on which it is based. Zatta’s maps retain Mitchell’s scale, but being smaller are more legible. Zatta also included
updated legends (in Italian) with notations concerning the Revolutionary War, such as Burgoyne’s defeat at Saratoga. Ref: Portinaro & Knirsch #152;
Sellers and Van Ee #163. <strong>The</strong> map has original outline color with a bit of light toning on the centerfold, and a tiny bit of worming in the lower, blank margin,
well away from the map. (B) $425-500
189. Colonial South (Carte de la Louisiane, et de la Floride), Bonne, Paris, ca. 1780. 8.4 x 12.6”. (HC) Handsome map of the American Southeast and the
Mississippi River Valley extends from Charleston, South Carolina west to include New Orleans and north well into Illinois. <strong>The</strong>re is good detail on the
course of the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers. Florida is shown with its panhandle extending west to include Mobile and Biloxi. A small inset provides details
of the Missouri River. Nice impression with folds as issued. <strong>The</strong> binding side margins is approximately 1/8" with a binding tear just into the map, repaired
with archival tape. (B) $180-230

15.5 x 9”. (BW) This scarce and significant map covers from the Atlantic seaboard to the Mississippi River; present-day Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi.
<strong>The</strong>re is good topographical information particularly in the eastern section, where early counties in Georgia are named and their boundaries given. <strong>The</strong>
interior is labeled Country of the Creek Nation of Indians with several other tribes located and the notation <strong>The</strong>se parts are little known. Several Creek
and Cherokee villages are located and the trading paths to the interior are shown. This is the fist state with no page number in the plate. Ref: Wheat &
Brun #611. Good impression and wide original margins. Tissue repair on a fold separation and 2" tear at lower right, affecting Tallassee Co. (B)
$1100-1300
191. Southern United States - Mississippi (Mississippi Territory), Arrowsmith & Lewis, New & Elegant General Atlas…, [1804]. 9.5 x 8”. (BW) This
is a small, but significant map of Mississippi Territory, covering the region of present-day Mississippi and Alabama. At the extreme northwest corner
of the map is Fort Pickering on Chickasaw Bluff, near the future site of Memphis. Just below is a region labeled Upper Mississippi Company, and east
of there, the Tennessee Company takes in the Tennessee River watershed in northern Alabama. Georgia Company occupies the middle of the map. Numerous
Indian tribes and villages are located and Indian Paths, including the Natchez Trace are shown throughout. <strong>The</strong>re are a number of forts located including
Ft. Stoddert on the Mobile River, Ft. Adams on the Mississippi, and Ft. McHenry at Walnut Hills, later the site of Vicksburg. Drawn by Samuel Lewis
and engraved by D. Fairman. Ref: Phillips (A) #702-54. Nice impression with a few light spots. <strong>The</strong>re are small binding holes in the bottom margin, one
of which affects the bottom right corner of the map. (B) $300-400
192. Mississippi River (<strong>The</strong> Mississippi River from Its Mouth to Cairo, Showing New Orleans, Memphis, Fort Wright, Island Number Ten, Columbus,
Etc.), Harper’s Weekly, New York, 1862. 9.2 x 14”. (BW) This interesting map is presented in strip map style to chart the route of the Mississippi
River as it winds its way from its confluences with the Ohio River to the Gulf of Mexico. <strong>The</strong> map opens to a double-page view showing Confederate
fortifications near Yorktown and Gloucester. <strong>The</strong> full sheet measures (22 x 16") (A) $90-110
193. Southern United States - Civil War ([Collection of 22 Civil War Maps]), U.S. War Department, Washington D.C., 1864. 7.5 x 9.6”. (BW)
Collection of 21 manuscript Civil War maps and one letter. This unique collection of maps relates to the campaigns of General Sherman and, specifically
General Williams during 1864 and 1865. <strong>The</strong> collection includes three field drawn battle maps on paper, a field prepared note or letter related to Resaca,
and eighteen manuscript scribed battle maps, likely created as master maps for photographic reproduction in the monumental Atlas to Accompany the
Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies. <strong>The</strong> provenance of the collection is uncertain, but the owner’s father was friends with and lived
next to Milo Quaife. Mr. Quaife edited “From the Cannon’s Mouth” a published collection of letters from Brigadier General Williams to his daughter
during the war.
<strong>The</strong> first three maps are drawn on thin paper and appear to be contemporaneously field sketched during the campaign of General Williams. <strong>The</strong>se maps
include:
1) An Untitled map describing the Opening of the Atlanta Campaign, May 1864 , 7.5 x 9.6". This map represents the early movements of General Williams’
Division on or about May 4, 1864. Drawn in ink and pencil it appears to be an early reconnaissance map and is noted “probable good route for Gen.
Williams,” and “Genl Butterfield March May 4.” <strong>The</strong> drawing is filled with information and details including property owner names, physical features,
distance to <strong>place</strong>s off the map, etc. A remarkable ‘work in progress’ with a good deal added in pencil in the same hand. West Chicamauga, Pea Vine and
Chicamanga Creeks are named. On thin, fragile paper.
2) “Topl. Engrs. 20th Corps June 12th 1864”, 7.7 x 6". This field drawn manuscript in pencil and colored pencils shows the positions of the 20th Corps
1st, 2nd and 3rd Divisions, the 23rd Corps, and the 4th Corps. <strong>The</strong> drawing also locates the “H. Qrs 20th C.” as well as property owners, roads, the
Alatoona Creek and other topographical information. A notation reads “Williams” near Pine Hill and another says “Train” in a box at the top. On thin,
fragile paper.
3) An untitled manuscript map, May 14, 1864, 7.7 x 3.2". This small and delicately drawn field map relates to the Battle of Resaca. Executed in pencil
on a small piece of lined stationary paper, the drawing locates Resaca on the railroad, Camp Cr., Dalton Rd. and the position of four troop positions (1st
Brig. Harrow, and three others this cataloger cannot read). <strong>The</strong>re is also a note on Genl McPherson’s position. A large creek is shown flowing from the
south to Resaca, but it is not labeled Snake Creek.
4) “Resaca” is a Field Note or letter, unsigned, 5.3 x 8". <strong>The</strong> note begins “Thomas comes in from the west toward house of Mr. Moor with Hooker opposite
the house of Mr. Ruckert Schofield moves in rear of Thomas as crosses the field near the house of Mr. Wright and the meadow at head of CC. Cox ____
east of Dalton road Judah west of it.” It is unclear if this is a battle plan by, perhaps Gen. Williams, or simply a cartographer’s note.
<strong>The</strong> following 18 manuscript maps are scribed and drawn on oiled cloth, except one that is on paper. <strong>The</strong>y are arranged chronologically. Those that can
be identified as being from the work of cartographer Lucius Thaddeus Stanley of the 12th and the 20th Corps are identified as such. <strong>The</strong> first three maps
may also be the work of Stanley; although that is uncertain, but the style is similar. See “Maps and Mapmakers of the Civil War” for some illustrated
maps by Stanley in the Gilder Lehrman Collection that is currently on deposit at the Pierpont Morgan Library in New York.

5) “May 4th 1864,” 5.7 x 6.7". Centered on Rossville with Chattanooga above and Gordon’s Mill at bottom. After Stanley.
6) “May 6th 11 a.m. & May 7th 4 p.m.,” 5.7 x 6.7". Ringoold at upper right. Locates Pea Vine, Crawfish, Middle Chickamouga, and Chickamouga Creeks.
After Stanley.

Creeks. Shows the Tenn. & GA, W & A Railroads plus a projected railroad extending south from the W&Q Railroad near Carpenter Creek. After Stanley.
8) “May 12 to 15,” 5.6 x 6.5". <strong>The</strong> towns of “Resacca” and Tilton are located as is the Oustanaula River, and Clear, Mill, Snake, Rock, Lick, and John’s
Creeks. Names the Snake Creek Gap. After Stanley.
9) Untitled Battle of Resaca, May 14th, 10.7 x 9.5". Shows a detailed view of the vicinity around Resaca and Tilton with individual houses identified with
owners’ names. Identifies Snake Creek Gap and the “More” home mentioned in the letter noted above.
10) “May 15,” 5.7 x 6.6". A very detailed map related to the Battle of Resacca. Very close detail around Resacca, the map extends only to show a small
portion of Swamp Creek to the northwest. Locates the Projected railroad. After Stanley.
11) “May 16 & 17.,” 5.25 x 7". Resacca is at upper left with Calhoun below. Troop positions are indicated for the two days. After Stanley.
12) “May 18 to 23,” 5.2 x 6.8". Details troop positions and movements between Adairsville, Kinston and Cassville. Locates Pine Loo, Oothecloga, Barnsleys,
Two Run, and Connasone Creeks and a small portion of the Etowa River. After Stanley.
13) “May 23d,” 5.3 x 6.9". Locates Kingston, Cassville, the villages of Euharlee, Saltpetre Care, and Stilesboro, and the Mounds Foundry. Names Euharlee,
Hills, Floyds, Raccoon, Poths, Nancy, Richland, and Two Run Creeks. After Stanley.
14) “May 24th to June 1st,” 5.3 x 6.9". <strong>The</strong> town of Dallas is at bottom center with the terrain and watershed detailed including Floyds, Little Pumpkin,
and Pumpkin Vine Creeks named. After Stanley.
15) “June 1st to 20,” 5.3 x 6.8". This map is roughly centered on Pine Hill and names Big Shanty, Allatoona Church, Lost Mr. P.O. and another unnamed
post offices. Names the W&A, Marietta, and Dallas & Marietta Railroads. Shows many creeks and rivers, but only the Allatoona, Powder Springs, Mud,
Moses, and Proctors Creeks are named. After Stanley.
16) “Sketch shewing position of the 20th, 23rd, and 4th Corps M. June 11th 1864 Head Quarters 20th A.C.,” 7.7 x 9.8". This is a very similar to #2 above
with additions to the legend and different troop positions.
17) “Topl. Engrs. June 12th 1864,” 8.8 x 7". This is a scribed copy of #2 above.
18) “Battlefield of Kolbs Farm. Georgia June 22nd 1864,” 5 x 6.9", drawn on paper rather than oiled cloth. Bisected by the Marietta Road. Also shows
the Powder Springs & Marietta Road, Little Neuse Creek, and Kolb farm. Details the long Confederate Line of Fortifications.

map centered on Colliers Mill. Locates the Union and Rebel breastworks with part of the Rebel fortifications labeled “White House.” Names the Mt.
Zion church and a few individual homes with the owners’ names of Emery, Collier, and H. Emery. After Stanley.
22) “Atlanta and its Rebel Defenses,” 13.5 x 18.1". This plan of Atlanta is a fabulous and large manuscript map on cheese cloth. <strong>The</strong> major streets are named,
the Fair Ground, Cemetery, the Locomotive Hose of the W&A Railroad, the Atlanta Steam Tannery, White Hall and the headwaters of South River are
indicated. <strong>The</strong> tracks for the Georgia, and the Macon & Western Railroads are shown. After Stanley. First two a little toned and fragile on thin paper.
<strong>The</strong> others generally vary very good to fine. (A) $25000-35000
194. United States - Southeast (Virginiae partis australis, et Floridae partie orientalis), Montanus, Die Nieuwe en Onbenkende Werld, Amsterdam, [1671].
14 x 11.4”. (HC) This striking map of the Southeast shows the French and English claims in the region marked with their respective coats of arms. <strong>The</strong>
cartography in the southern part of the map retains Le Moyne’s three imaginary lakes, the largest draining through the Carolinas via the May River. While
the map is nearly identical to the Blaeu/Jansson model on which it is based, the decorations are entirely original. <strong>The</strong> title cartouche is engraved onto an
buffalo hide displayed by two Native Americans and at top is a large view that illustrates a group of natives panning for gold. Ref: Cumming (SE) #67.
Sharp impression printed on fine paper with the jester watermark. Nice old color with pleasant toning. Brown paper hinge remnants on the verso. (A)
$1200-1500
195. United States - Southern (Florida zoo als het van de Spaanschen en Franschen wordt bezeten), Sanson, Paris, ca. 1705. 9.8 x 7”. (HC) This is the
Dutch version of Sanson’s influential map showing the Spanish and French possessions in the southern part of North America. <strong>The</strong> 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. <strong>The</strong> 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. <strong>The</strong> <strong>place</strong> 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. <strong>The</strong> map is crisply
engraved with a simple decorative title cartouche. Ref: cf Burden #326; Cumming (SE) #139. Excellent impression with large original margins. One tiny
little hole in the lower right margin, not affecting map. (A) $600-700
196. United States - Southeast (Map of North and South Carolina By J. Denison), Morse, American Universel Geography, Boston, [1796]. 9.3 x 7.5”.
(HC) This interesting little map of the Carolinas shows South Carolina divided into districts. In North Carolina numerous counties are named (with many
misspellings), but their boundaries are not delineated. Details include roads, churches, and court, meeting and dwelling houses. <strong>The</strong>re are also several Indian
villages located. <strong>The</strong> map was drawn by Denison, engraved by Doolittle, and published by Thomas & Andrews for Morse’s Universal Geography. Ref:
Wheat & Brun #585. <strong>The</strong>re is a small area of paper weakness that has been reinforced on verso with light Japanese tissue and it has been remargined on
binding side (left). (B) $375-450
197. United States - Southeast (Carte de la Floride et de la Georgie), Tardieu, Paris, ca. 1798. 16.8 x 12.8”. (HC) Handsome early map covering from South
Carolina to Florida and through Louisiana. <strong>The</strong> map depicts Florida during the period when it was controlled by the Spanish. However, there are no engraved
political divisions indicating the mapmaker’s bias toward either the territorial claims of Spain or the United States. Numerous Indian villages are located
and roads are shown connecting early settlements. <strong>The</strong>re is a large Lac du St. Esprit linked with an oversized Baie du St. Esprit and Tampa Bay in Florida.
<strong>The</strong> Bahamas are also well delineated. Lightly faded original outline color. Generous margins with some minor mat burn and a repair to the right lower
corner, with no affect to the map itself. (B) $650-750
198. United States - Southeast (Carta delle Provincie Meridionali degli Stati-Uniti), Rochefoucald Liancourt, Milan, ca. 1800. 19 x 13.2”. (HC) This is
a very uncommon Italian map of the southeastern region. <strong>The</strong> map covers the states of Kentucky, Virginia, Tennessee, North and South Carolina and
part of Georgia. It provides a nice view of early settlements and roads, as well as the mountains, forests and Indian villages. Between Tennessee and Georgia
is a long strip of land labeled Territorio degli Stati Uniti. This land originally belonged to South Carolina but was ceded back to the United States in 1787,
subject to Indian occupancy. Numerous Indian villages are shown, especially in the region of present-day Alabama. This map is from either an Italian
edition of Francois la Rochefouchauld Liancourt’s Travels through the United States of North America… or Carlo Botta’s Storia della Guerra dell’
Independenza Degli Stati Uniti d’America. Howes does not list an Italian edition of La Rochefouchauld Liancourt’s book, but this map is a copy of his
map. Ref: cf Howes #106. Issued folding, now backed with Japanese tissue to reinforce some marginal repairs. (A) $300-375
199. United States - Southeast (Die Staaten von N. & S. Carolina Georgia & Florida), Meyer, Geographisches Institut, Hildburghausen, ca. 1850. 8 x 10”.
(HC) A very detailed map of the southeastern United States showing roads, towns, railroads and rivers. <strong>The</strong>re are four insets included on this delicately
colored example. <strong>The</strong> first; Hafen von St. Augustine shows Anastasia Island, St. Augustine and the location of Fort St. Marks. <strong>The</strong> other insets include
Charleston, Newberne and the gold region of North Carolina. Original coloring and strong impression printed on thick paper with wide margins. Scattered
foxing, mostly in margins. Ink notation in blank right margin. (B) $100-150

200. United States - Southeast (Map of the Plant System of Railway, Steamer and Steamship Lines and Connections), Matthews-Northrup Co, Buffalo,
ca. 1892. 15.4 x 19.5”. (PC) This wonderful, color lithographed pocket map portrays the transportation system built by H. B. Plant. This example shows
counties outlined in green, and includes the cities, townships, rivers, lakes and swamps. An inset includes Southern Florida, Key West, Cuba and the Bahamas.
<strong>The</strong> Plant System is shown in red, with connecting railroads shown in black. H.B. Plant acquired the Florida Southern Railway in 1892 and renamed it
the Florida Southern Railroad, as shown on this map. He also incorporated the Orange Belt Railway into his system in 1893 (but this line is shown here
as an independent line). Inside the front cover is a list of the names and positions of the Plant System officials. <strong>The</strong> map folds into tiny, printed pictorial
wrappers (2.6 x 5.4") with the stamp of the passenger agent, Chas. W. Gray (Boston). A fantastic example of an uncommon railway pocket map. For
a map that was not intended to last, this is in remarkable condition. (A+) $300-350
201. Colonial Louisiana, Central United States (Carte de la Louisiane Colonie Francaise avec le Cours du Fleuve St. Louis, les Rivieres Adjacentes, les
Nations Naturels…), Le Page du Pratz, Histoire de la Louisiane, Paris, 1757. 13.5 x 10”. (HC) This scarce map of the heart of French Louisiana covers
the Mississippi River valley and extends from Santa Fe in the West to the Appalachian Mountains in the East. <strong>The</strong> Great Lakes, naming Forts Detroit
and Niagara, are shown with numerous portages linking them to rivers flowing into the Mississippi River. <strong>The</strong> Missouri River flows from the West
unimpeded by any mountains. This representation was consistent with the widely held belief that the source of the Missouri was near the source of the
Rio Grande (here called Rio del Nort). Numerous forts, trading posts, Indian villages and mines are located along the rivers. Both French and Spanish
forts are located near Natchitoches reflecting the conflicting claims to Texas by those two nations. West of the Mississippi is Lahontan’s Grande Riviere
nearly connecting with the Belle Riviere (Beautiful River) purportedly forming the long sought Northwest Passage. In his book, Le Page du Pratz tells
of an Indian (Moncacht-ape) who discovered a route to the Pacific Ocean via the Beautiful River. <strong>The</strong> Indian’s path from the Missouri to the Beautiful
River is shown on the map.
Le Page du Pratz, a French military engineer, resided in Louisiana in the early part of the eighteenth century. During this period he made a five-month tour of
the interior of Louisiana. On his return to France he wrote this important history of Louisiana based on his own adventures combined with information
from other French explorers including Bourgmont, Charlevoix and Dumont de Montigny. Thomas Jefferson owned the English edition of Le Page du Pratz’s
work and used it as a reference source for his treatise on Louisiana. Meriwether Lewis took a borrowed edition on the expedition to the Pacific and made
several references to the work in his journal of the expedition. Ref: Wheat [TMW] #139. Issued folding, now pressed. <strong>The</strong>re are a couple of faint foxing

Philadelphia, 1796. 25.5 x 18.8”. (BW) This scarce map covers the region of the Northwest Territory from the southern tip of Lake Michigan, east to
include most of Lake Erie, and south to Louisville and the Ohio River. Of particular note are the Revolutionary War Bounty Land Grants shown in the
region; the Fire Lands (here Connecticut Lands), the Seven Ranges, and several land grants. In present-day Ohio are Army Lands, Siota Grant to Sargent
and others, Symmes, Virginia Line, and Ohio Company. This map was issued shortly after the Treaty of Greenville in 1795, in which the Northwest
Indian Confederation ceded to the United States most of Ohio and parts of Indiana, Illinois and Michigan, including plots of land that were to become Chicago
(here spelled Chickago), Ft. Defiance, Ft. Wayne and other prominent cities. <strong>The</strong> map locates many early forts and settlements including Ft. Hamilton,
Ft. Washington or Cincinnati, Detroit, Ft. Joseph, Ft. Ouiatanon, Greenville, Ft. Jefferson, Ft. St. Clair, Ft. Adams, Loramier’s Store, and an area northeast
of Kentucky noted as To the French 24,000 A[cres]. Lewis’ map was initially separately issued and then appeared in some copies of Carey’s atlases
published in 1796, 1802 and 1814. It does not appear in all editions of Carey’s atlases and is therefore scarce. Printed on two joined sheets. Ref: Phillips

(HC) This interesting map provides an excellent view of Missouri and Illinois with very early county development. <strong>The</strong> map is centered on the Missouri
River, extending to the Platte and Omaha regions. <strong>The</strong>re is excellent information on Indian Tribes and village populations, mineral deposits, explorers routes,
etc. <strong>The</strong> Atlas Universel was a monumental work and milestone in cartography; particularly the cartography of the American West. It was the first atlas
of the world with all maps on the same scale (1: 1,641,836 - about one inch to 26 miles) and the first lithographed world atlas. <strong>The</strong> maps (400 in all) were
intended to be joined together, thus forming a globe measuring 7.75 meters in diameter. <strong>The</strong>re was only one edition, published in a series of parts between

map was issued as part of the continuing debate over the nature of the Frontier Defenses between the Mississippi River and the Rocky mountains in the
Secretary of War, J.R. Poinsett’s report of 1837. It illustrates the proximity of the hostile Indian threat that existed in the 1830s and shows the location
of Army Posts that were expected to respond to any hostile action. <strong>The</strong> Military troops at these individual posts were inadequate to counter significant
Indian opposition making it necessary for speedy reinforcement. <strong>The</strong> map includes the states of Missouri, Arkansas and Louisiana and the Indian nations

ordering them to the west. Locates many military forts and outposts from Ft. Jessup to Ft. Snelling with notations throughout concerning the regions
ceded by several Indian nations with the dates of the treaties. This is one of a group of 3 similar maps published by the 25th Congress, and not be confused
with the similar, but less desirable, map published later in American State papers circa 1860. Ref: Clausen & Friis #182; Wheat (TMW) #426. Folding

map covering the eastern portion of Kansas and Nebraska to 100 longitude. It clearly shows the surveying baseline, standard parallels, and guide meridians,
plus many townships. This early example shows no counties or mineral information, and it pre-dates the railroad land grants. Instead, the various Indian
Lands are delineated in great detail; the Omaha, Pawnee, Ottoe, Kickapoo, Sac & Fox, and Pottawattamie Reserves; the trust lands of the Sac and Fox,
Peoria, Ottawas, and much more. <strong>The</strong> Cherokee Neutral Lands are located beneath Kansas along the Meosho River. Details include numerous towns,
military lands, topography, and watershed. A legend gives the status of the township surveying: completed, under contract and being subdivided, surveying
underway, not yet subdivided, plus a few other categories. Signed in the plate by Mark M. Delahay, Surveyor General. <strong>The</strong> territories were created by
Congress in 1856 from an Unorganized Territory. In 1861, Kansas achieved statehood; Nebraska in 1867. Issued folding, this example has been backed

matching set of all six maps and one profile sheet of the Northern Boundary Survey. In 1872, Congress authorized a survey to determine and mark the
U.S. - Canadian Boundary line along the 49th parallel. <strong>The</strong> survey accurately determined the boundary, and added very detailed topographical features
in a 5-mile wide strip along the line. <strong>The</strong> survey was completed in 1875 and published by Archibald Campbell and William Twining in 1878. <strong>The</strong>se maps
cover the area from the Rocky Mountains in Montana to the Lake of the Woods in Minnesota and 100 miles north to south. <strong>The</strong>y provide excellent detail

214. United States - Western (Map of Oregon and Upper California From the Surveys of John Charles Fremont and Other Authorities), Fremont/Preuss,
Geographical Memoir Upon Upper California…, Baltimore, 1848. 26.3 x 33”. (HC) This map has been accorded two-fold importance in the development
of the westward expansion. First, as a major contribution to geographical and cartographical knowledge and secondly, as a historic documentation of
Fremont’s third expedition. <strong>The</strong> map is a remarkable graphic depiction of this expedition and is considered one of the most important 19th century American
maps. It covers all of the western territories from the 105th Meridian. Among the most interesting features is the appearance of the term Golden Gate
at the entrance to Bay of San Francisco, the markings of the El Dorado or Gold Region in the California Gold Fields, a hypothetical east-west mountain
range near the 42nd parallel, and a notation identifying the location of Mormon settlements for the first time. Wheat illustrates the map and devotes eight
pages to its description.
Having been court-marshaled and dismissed from the Army in 1847, Fremont was not asked to publish the details of this last expedition by the Corps of
Topographical Engineers as would normally be required. Instead, the Geographical Memoir comprised his report. It was published nonetheless by Congress
at the behest of the powerful Senator Thomas Hart Benton, Fremont’s father-in-law. <strong>The</strong> memoir is also knows as Misc. Doc. No. 148, 30th Congress,
1st Session. This is the large, and increasingly rare, map from that report. Ref: Wheat (TMW) #559; Goss (NA) #177; Schwartz & Ehrenberg plt. 171

of maps originated by Samuel A. Mitchell in 1846. Oregon Territory takes in all of present day Washington and Idaho. <strong>The</strong> huge Utah Territory (formed
the previous year) covers the region, labeled Fremont Basin, and stretches from the California border to just past the Rocky Mountains. New Mexico
Territory (also formed in 1850) encompasses parts of present-day Colorado and Arizona and its southern boundary is on the Gila River - pre Gadsden
Purchase. <strong>The</strong> Gold Region is clearly marked along the Sacramento River and there is no county development shown in the new state. <strong>The</strong> copyright
at bottom, by H.N. Burroughs, is dated 1845. Faint toning in Pacific, else fine. (A) $600-700
216. United States - Western (United States, West), Allman, Penny School Series Atlas, London, ca. 1850. 8 x 10”. (HC) This uncommon map of the West

California, Missouri Territory, Indian Territory, New Mexico and Texas. Texas is shown in an early, enlarged configuration. <strong>The</strong> Great Interior Basin
is blank. Considering the obvious period of the map, the geography is quite inaccurate because Upper California encompasses all of California, Utah and
most of New Mexico in the pre-Gadsden Boundary configuration. A quaint and delicate decorative border. Beneath border is “C. Montague Lithographer
- 117 Cheapside, London, E.C.” A curious little map from a scarce atlas. <strong>The</strong> map has good original color and dark impression. Two short marginal
tears, closed on verso. (A) $100-140

Universal Universal Atlas, Philadelphia, [1856]. 12.5 x 15.6”. (HC) A great map of California and the large western territories from this important series
of maps originating from Samuel Augustus Mitchell. <strong>The</strong> map is filled with early county configurations, the exploration routes of Lewis and Clark, Fremont,
Kearney, and Cooke, and the Spanish and Oregon Trails. Washington and Oregon have their eastern boundaries in the Rocky Mountains adjoining Nebraska
Territory and county development is confined west of the Cascades. Utah Territory extends to Middle Park and Long’s Peak in present-day Colorado
where it borders Indian Territory. New Mexico Territory encompasses parts of present-day Colorado and Arizona. <strong>The</strong> new Gadsden Purchase border
is shown and noted Gadsden Treaty Line 1854. County development in California is well underway except in the south. <strong>The</strong> map retains the Thomas,
Cowperthwait & Co. copyright dated 1850 at bottom and is surrounded in their distinctive borders. However, Charles Desilver’s imprint has been added
above the copyright. Color is a bit faded, else very good. (B) $500-600

is the culmination of fifty years of government explorations in the West and is one of the foundation maps of the western United States. Starting with
Lewis and Clark, there were numerous official and unofficial surveys and explorations, all adding to the pool of knowledge presented here. While large
sections are still labeled “unexplored territory,” Emory fitted these fragments together into a reasonably correct cartographic picture. This map shows
large, transitional territories of Nebraska, Kansas, New Mexico, Utah, Oregon, Washington and Minnesota. A historical and desirable issue. Ref: Wheat

226. United States - Northwestern (Washington and Oregon), Colton, New York, ca. 1859. 14 x 11”. (HC) A terrific map of the Pacific Northwest that
shows Washington Territory in its most unusual configuration as it wraps around the new state of Oregon. Of specific interest on the map is the notation
of all the major exploration routes, wagon trails and the proposed routes for the transcontinental railways. This map was published by Johnson & Browning
shortly after Oregon became a state in 1859. <strong>The</strong> organized counties of both Oregon and Washington are confined west of the mountain ranges except
for Skamania and Walla Walla Counties. <strong>The</strong> map is surrounded by Colton’s signature strapwork border, with the imprint of Johnson & Browning as
publishers. Lovely original wash coloring. (A) $250-300
227. United States - Northwestern (Map of Oregon, Washington and Part of British Columbia), Mitchell, New General Atlas, Philadelphia, 1860. 13.5 x
10.8”. (HC) In 1859, Oregon became a state and in the process Washington Territory gained land from Oregon that eventually became Idaho and part
of Montana. Map clearly shows the Oregon Trail, and the Emigrant Wagon Road to California. <strong>The</strong> entire eastern half of Oregon is unorganized with Klamath,
Curry and Wasgoren (likely an editing error for Wasco) Counties being the furthest east. <strong>The</strong> eastern part of the state is labeled as unexplored. Klamath
County was not organized until 1882, so its appearance here is a mystery, as the decorative floral border of this edition was re<strong>place</strong>d long before 1882.

No.64, Washington D.C., 1849. 27.5 x 20”. (HC) This map is the product of a punitive expedition against marauding Navajo Indians. <strong>The</strong> expedition
traveled from Santa Fe to Jemez Pueblo, then on the Navaho trail to Chaco Canyon, and via Washington Pass to Canyon de Chelly. <strong>The</strong>y engaged the
Navajo in their strongholds at Chaco Canyon and Canyon de Chelly where the tribe was soundly defeated. <strong>The</strong> soldiers then explored the area and were
the first white men to discover and describe the prehistoric pueblos in the region. <strong>The</strong> return route traveled south of the Zuni Pueblos and east past Inscription
Rock and Laguna Pueblo to the Rio Grande. A seldom seen map that Wheat calls “an arresting production, bringing out many new details of the region.”
Wheat used the map as the frontispiece to Volume III. Ref: Wheat (TMW) #641. <strong>The</strong> map folds as issued. Small binding side tear entering 1" into map,
repaired with archival tape. (A) $500-600

U.S. Army, HR Doc. 45, 31st Congress, 1st Session, Washington D.C., [1850]. 27.5 x 14.7”. (BW) Excellent topographical map detailing, for the first
time, the region along the Red River and the Canadian River. It shows two major roads from Fort Smith to Santa Fe, plus several other routes and Indian
trails. <strong>The</strong> map also notes various tribal lands, topography and hydrology as well as the location of daily campsites. It is filled with interesting details
and notations including the Apache Trail and Comanche Trail - “Said to be a good route for wagons, with water daily.” It includes a very early depiction
of Dallas located along the Trinity River. This map was published in the report on the Exploration of the Red River, made by order of Bvt. Brig. Gen.
M. Arbuckle, by Capt. R.B. Marcy, 5th U.S. Infantry. Ref: Wheat (TMW) #681. Map is folding as issued with slightly uneven toning and a few short,
marginal tears. One tear just enters the border at top, closed on verso with archival tape. (B) $325-400

of 1855 from Salt Lake City, Utah to the Bay of San Francisco), U.S. Army, Se. Ex. Doc. No. 1, 1st Session, 34th Congress, Washington D.C., 1855. 18.5
x 22”. (BW) This uncommon map accompanied the “Report of Capt. R. Ingalls on the march of L. Col. Steptoe from Ft. Leavenworth to California”
in 1854 and 1855. Wheat states “it is a document of first quality ….. showing three important routes.” Steptoe was looking for a new and shorter route
from the Great Salt Lake to the Pacific Coast. In addition to the route chosen by Steptoe, the routes of two detachments are also traced - one under Capt.
Ingalls, the other by Lt. Mowry. <strong>The</strong> map extends to include all of California and part of Oregon to above the Rogue River. It stretches eastward to name
G.S. Lake City, the Mormon capital of Fillmore, Cedar City and Fort Yuma on the Colorado. Ref: Wheat (TMW) #868; Wagner & Camp #256. Folding,
as issued. Original margins with a short tear at binding corner trim, closed on verso with archival tape. Short split on one fold, hint of some fold toning.

231. United States - Southwestern (Territories of New Mexico and Utah), Colton, General Atlas, New York, 1855. 14.8 x 11.8”. (HC) This interesting
map depicts the region with the largest extents of Utah and New Mexico Territories. Utah Territory encompasses all of today’s Nevada and extends west
to the Continental Divide into present-day northern Colorado with Fillmore City as its capital. Nebraska and Kanzas Territories bound Utah on the east.
New Mexico Territory includes part of southern Colorado and stretches west to include Arizona and the southern tip of present-day Nevada . Fremont’s
routes, proposed routes for the Pacific Railroad, the Spanish Trail, and much more are located. Dated 1855 but it was published circa 1857. Some binding
holes and minor tears in blank margins, map is fine. (A) $275-350
232. Southwestern United States (Map of the Territory of the United States From the Mississippi to the Pacific Ocean [lower half]), Warren, U.S. Pacific
Railroad Surveys, Washington D.C., 1857. 46.2 x 21.5”. (HC) This is a scarce, colored variant of the first edition of the southern portion of the map
known as “Warren’s General Map.” Hand coloring emphasizes the Indian tribal lands and a printed color overlay notes the location of forts and delineates
the pre-Civil War military departments. Warren’s note at bottom, dated May 1, 1857, acknowledges the new surveys from Parkes, Whipple and Long
that were to be incorporated into the next edition. This edition was engraved by Selmar Siebert.
Warren’s General map is a monumentally important map that is considered to be the first accurate overall picture of the West. Wheat considers it so important
that he dedicated eight pages to its description and calls it the most important map produced by the Topographical Engineers. Drawn on the polyconic
projection, the map culminated a half-century of government explorations beginning with Lewis & Clark. Warren was only 24 years old when he was
assigned the task, and he used information from the U.S. Land Office, the Coast Survey, Topographical Engineers, the Adjutant General, the Quartermaster
General, the Indian Bureau, and Smithsonian Institution to obtain the latest information in developing this map. Ref: Wheat (TMW) #936; Cohen pp.
172-5. Some toning on centerfold with minor loss at fold intersections that has been arrested by professional backing with tissue. <strong>The</strong> map is archivally
encapsulated in a removable Mylar sleeve for its protection and ease of handling. (B) $600-800
233. Southwestern United States - Grand Canyon (Map No. 2. Rio Colorado of the West…), Ives, Report upon the Colorado River of the West, Washington
D.C., 1858. 34.7 x 14.5”. (BW) This map is the second, in a series of four, that represents one of the most important exploring efforts of the American
Southwest. It details the region around the Grand Canyon and Little Colorado River using Eggloffstein’s unique 3-D like technique that imparts the
appearance of depth to the topography that resembles an aerial photograph. <strong>The</strong> map shows the river from about Needles (Whipple’s Crossing and Mojave
Canyon) north through Black Canyon, to the Little Colorado and then north to beyond the survey’s limit as the riverbed fades to nothing. Carl Wheat
devotes several pages to this map and the process used to produce it. <strong>The</strong> map locates Fort Defiance, Campbell’s Pass, Zuni, Moquis (Hopi) Pueblos,
San Francisco Springs (Flagstaff), Las Vegas, the Mormon Road, numerous Indian tribes, and much more. Several important exploration routes & trails
are shown including <strong>The</strong> <strong>Old</strong> Spanish Trail, Whipple’s trail 1853-4 and Beale’s trail. Ref: Wheat (TMW) #948. Folding, as issued. One fold separation
repaired on verso with archival tape. Apart from some light scattered foxing, it is a very nice example. (B) $240-275

234. United States - Southwestern (Johnson’s California, also Utah, Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona), Johnson, New Illustrated Family Atlas,
New York, 1864. 23.5 x 15.5”. (HC) This is the later 1864 edition and is one of the first maps to show the original four counties of Yavapai, Mohave,
Yuma and Pima in the newly organized Arizona Territory. <strong>The</strong> Utah/Nevada border is now at 114 and Arizona has its final borders. Details the U.S.
Mail routes, the Emigrant roads to California, the proposed railroad route through Utah, Nevada and California, and the Pony Express trail. Terrific details

Family Atlas, New York, [1863-64]. 22 x 15.5”. (HC) This is the late 1863 - early 1864 edition in this series of maps. Arizona still has the county
configurations of the old New Mexico Territory, with the addition of Castle Dome and Ewell counties in the south. <strong>The</strong> Utah/Nevada border is now at
115 . This is a completely new plate with much changed in watershed and mountain detail with several of the earlier notations removed. Details the U.S.
Mail routes, the Emigrant roads to California, the proposed railroad route through Utah, Nevada and California, and the Pony Express trail. <strong>The</strong> map
has light overall toning and scattered foxing. <strong>The</strong>re are a couple short, mostly marginal tears in the bottom, with one just entering the map that has been
repaired with archival tape. <strong>The</strong> centerfold has a few small stains and has been reinforced on the verso with archival tape. (B) $250-300
236. United States - Southwestern (Colton’s Map of California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Arizona & New Mexico), Colton, General Atlas, New York, 1865.
26 x 16.7”. (HC) This is the uncommon Colton issue, likely published about 1867. It features the Pacific Railroad which is shown only partially completed
through Wyoming with no work accomplished in Utah. Arizona Territory has it first four counties, namely Mohave, Yuma, Pima and Yavapai with Prescott
as the capitol. New Mexico Territory retains its original ‘strip’ counties. <strong>The</strong> Utah/Nevada border is correctly at 114 , its final location. <strong>The</strong> Pony Express
route is shown, as is the Mail Route. <strong>The</strong> map has exceptional information on railroads, both built and planned. It is filled with <strong>place</strong> names, information
on topography and watershed, and numerous notes. For example, one note in west central Colorado states “Elevated plain, fertile, gently rolling with
fresh water, lakes and timber.” Fancy titling and decorative scroll-style border. Ref: Wheat (TMW) #1200. Fine original color and nice impression. Original
margins that are narrow at bottom, as issued. Lightly toned along centerfold with split into map at bottom, closed on verso with careful repair. Some
chips along upper margin, also repaired on verso. (B) $180-275
237. United States - Southwestern (Map of the United States and Texas Boundary Line and Adjacent Territory), U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Bulletin
of the United States Geological Survey No. 194, Washington D.C., 1902. 40 x 26”. (BW) Large and extremely detailed chart by J.H. Clark, U.S. Commissioner,
drawn by J.E. Weyss, circa 1860. <strong>The</strong> map is bound in the complete 51 page report; <strong>The</strong> Northwest Boundary of Texas and features the survey lines
between Texas and New Mexico with good topographical detail. This fine example locates forts, Raton Pass, the Santa Fe and Albuquerque trails, numerous
explorer’s routes, Indian trails, and more. <strong>The</strong> map is an interesting historical curiosity because it was not published when the survey was finished due
to the outbreak of the Civil War. In 1902 it was belatedly included in a Geological Survey Bulletin by Marcus Baker. A very nice example of this map.
Text and map very good to fine with just the slightest hint of toning along the folds, and a small amount of foxing on a couple pages. Remarkable condition
for this type of folding map. (A) $250-300
238. Alaska (North Western America Showing the Territory Ceded by Russia to the United States), Mitchell, Philadelphia, 1877. 14.3 x 11.5”. (HC) This
interesting map of Alaska depicts the territory purchased from Russia, known as Seward’s Folly. It shows Alaska with no organized areas and the interior
virtually blank, save for the occasional river and Fort Yukon. Just a few villages are named and there is no sign of Mt. McKinley. Sitka is called New
Archangel. This is one of the first atlas maps of Alaska Territory. A decorative grapevine border encloses the map. Narrow but adequate margins, as
issued. (A) $100-140
239. Alaska ([Lot of 2] Map of Alaska and Adjoining Regions. Compiled by Ivan Petroff, Special Agent, Tenth Census [and] Map of Alaska), U.S. Government,
Washington D.C., 1880-98. x ”. (PC) A fine historical pair of maps of Alaska covering early surveying and census data with the latter extending to include
the great Alaska Gold Rush and the Klondike Gold Fields. <strong>The</strong> first map is dated 1880 and was published by the Dept. of Interior for the Tenth Census.
It is a fine and detailed map of Alaska with numerous <strong>place</strong> names on the Kenai Peninsula and along the coast. It contains an inset detailing the Bering
Sea and Aleutian Islands. <strong>The</strong> map features dramatic and quite early topography with notations crediting Russian, French and English charts. (30.3 x
24.5")
<strong>The</strong> second map was published by the General Land Office in 1898. It is a large and colorful map of Alaska Territory published at the beginning of the Yukon
Gold Rush. It features a large inset of the gold region titled From Juneau to Forty-Mile Creek. A legend identifies regions with reported gold discoveries
(highlighted in yellow), deposits of silver, copper and coal, church locations, and routes of the railroads, both existing and proposed. Another inset details
the Aleutian Islands. Large text box provides distances from the U.S. to locations throughout Alaska, e.g. San Francisco to Chilkoot Pass - 1186 miles.
Steam ship routes are detailed from San Francisco plus internal mail routes shown in overprinted colors. Compiled and drawn by M. Herdges under the
direction of Harry King, Chief of Drafting Division. A remarkable record of the great Alaskan Gold Rush. (32.3 x 25") Ref: 2) #4761 (1906). Both folding,
as issued, with fine coloring. (A) $200-250
240. Arizona (Page’s Map of Arizona, 1886), Page, Chicago, 1886. 16 x 26.3”. (HC) This large format map is a scarce issue of the territory by the little
known H.R. Page & Co. firm of Chicago. Features only ten counties with Tucson shown as the territorial capital, an obvious error. <strong>The</strong> capital was first
established in Prescott (Fort Whipple) in 1864, moved to Tucson in 1867, then back to Prescott in 1877, and finally to Phoenix in 1889. This map sould
properly show Prescott as the capital. It locates a large array of roads and trails, principally in the southern half of the territory. In the north is the Atlantic
and Pacific Railroad, and the Southern Pacific Railroad is shown in the south. Mining was dominate at this time and all of the mining towns and camps
are shown. Filled with interesting <strong>place</strong> names including Camp Verde and Camp Lincoln, shown about 30 miles apart on the Winslow to Prescott wagon
road. This is another obvious error as Camp Lincoln and Camp Verde are one and the same. Camp Lincoln was renamed Camp Verde in 1868 and is today
a museum in the town of the same name. A rarely seen map that is a worthy addition to any serious Arizona collection. Crisp, dark impression with
original pastel and coloring. Centerfold with tiny amount of loss in one area and a puncture tear, all closed and supported on verso with archival tape.
<strong>The</strong> right margin has a few short tears, all closed on verso with archival tape. (B) $200-300
241. Arizona (Territory of Arizona), General Land Office, 1907. 17 x 20”. (PC) A colorful map with great detail issued just five years before Arizona attained
statehood. <strong>The</strong> 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. A spectacular example
of this chart. Remarkably clean and bright. No visible imperfections, and appears to be as it was when first printed. (A+) $150-200
242. California (Carte de la Californie Suivant), Robert de Vaugondy, Diderot’s Encyclopedie (Supplement), Paris, [1772]. 14.3 x 11.5”. (BW) This sheet
has five depictions of California that present a fascinating cartographic history of the region. <strong>The</strong> first map reproduces Neron Pecci’s map of 1604 showing
the peninsula with a ragged coastline and <strong>place</strong> names derived from Cabrillo’s voyage of 1542-3. <strong>The</strong> second map is a detail from Sanson’s 1656 map showing
the island of California with <strong>place</strong> names from the voyage of Vizcaino. Map three is from Delisle’s map of America of 1700 with the question of California’s
insularity left open to interpretation. Map four is Kino’s important map of 1705 that finally ended that cartographic myth. Finally, map five is a portion
of a Spanish map, showing the Jesuit explorations, that first appeared in Miguel Venegas’ Noticia de la California in 1757, which is the first published
history of California. This is an important map for any California map collection. Ref: McLaughlin #241; Fite & Freeman #52; Heckrotte & Sweetkind

the California coast in 1786 before setting out for the Philippines on his fateful expedition. His map was based on Dalrymple’s map of 1789 with information
derived from Spanish sources including Josef Camacho and Jose de Canizares. <strong>The</strong> map includes 21 <strong>place</strong> names, including Alcatraz and the Presidio. This
is from the English edition published by G.G. & J. Robinson. Ref: cf Harlow #15; Wagner (NW) #846. (B) $450-550

<strong>The</strong>se exciting Gold Rush maps were made by Lt. William T. Sherman, of later Civil War fame, who drew the maps when he was working as an adjutant
to U.S. Military Gov. Mason. Gold was first discovered in January 1848 near Coloma. John Sutter tried in vain to keep the discovery quiet and by summer
the hills above the American River were filled with prospectors. In July, Col. Mason, the Military Governor of California, toured the diggings and sent
a report to the President officially announcing the discovery of gold. <strong>The</strong>se maps were a part of this important report, and spawned the great California
Gold Rush.
1) Upper Mines. Nos 1 & 8 / Lower Mines or Mormon Diggings. No. 3 is one of the earliest printed maps to actually name and locate gold discoveries in
California. <strong>The</strong> Upper Mines are along the South Fork of the American River and show where James Marshall first found gold. <strong>The</strong> lower map depicts
numerous tents surrounding a store with a large area of the bar marked GOLD.
2) Positions of the Upper and Lower Gold Mines on the South Fork of the American River, California. July 20th, 1848. This map is one of the earliest
and <strong>best</strong> first-hand accounts of the Gold Rush. It covers the country along the American River from its junction with the Sacramento River to just above
Weber’s Creek. It shows Sutter’s Fort and numerous other diggings. Ref: Wheat (Gold) #51 and 52. Both backed with Japanese tissue to reinforce folds,

247. California, San Francisco (Faust’s Map and Guide of San Francisco), Faust, San Francisco, 1882. 16 x 16”. (PC) This is a very charming two toned,
lithographed pocket map, published by H.W. Faust, showing the city’s layout before the famous earthquake of 1906. This map has two insets showing
broader views of the Bay area, and a legend that explains some of the features of the map, such as ward boundaries and streetcar routes. Interestingly,
the most prominent landmarks are several large cemeteries taking up much of the real estate near Golden Gate Park. In the latter part of the nineteenth
century Henry W. Faust issued about fifteen editions of his map of San Francisco both in pocket form (and accompanied by a street directory, city guide,
or both, or neither) and as wall maps. All are extremely rare, with none listed in the dealer’s catalog references we have on hand. This wonderful map,
noted as the ninth edition, folds into its accompanying guide that contains 64 pages of essential information for the visitor, including lists of bath houses
and secret societies. Several amusing advertisements appear throughout the guide. Original printed soft covers, 4 x 6.5". Covers and text good with

Note at top documents the annexation of the town of Garvanza. Some interesting landmarks include the Elysian Park and Chavez Ravine, sight of today’s
Dodger Stadium. Below the map is a large advertisment for Llewellyn Iron Works printed in red. A star on the map locates the company. With two engraved
views within the map: Llewellyn Iron Works; and New Standard Concentrator. A curious advertser considering this is in a tourist guide. With an extensive
street index on verso. <strong>The</strong> map is bound into the original book titled Wilson’s Illustrated and Descriptive Souvenir and Guide to Los Angeles and Nearby
Towns by Benj. Rotholtz. <strong>The</strong> guide features tips, and references for the visitor to Los Angeles as well as numerous photographs and period
advertisements. Pictorial paper cover features Mexican cowboy and roses, all surrounded by decorative border. 12mo, 160pp. Map has a few intersectional

249. California ([Lot of 158 - California road maps]), Automobile Club of Southern California, Los Angeles, [1917-40]. x ”. (BW) This large collection
of early California road maps consists of 122 single-card maps produced by the Automobile Club of Southern California plus 36 early folding road maps.
<strong>The</strong> single-card maps are approximately 3.8 x 10.5" and are the precursors of the AAA “Trip Tik” travel maps. Most appear to be from 1917-1920 and
are regional maps, with some routes into Nevada and Arizona. On the verso many list “Official” hotels and garages along the route. <strong>The</strong>y are individually
numbered, some in sets and one duplicate. It is unclear how many different map cards were produced and the numbering scheme employed. <strong>The</strong> maps
here include the numbers: 1-9, 13-38, 42, 43, 48-52, 55-70, 77-79, 81-91, 93-100, 107-117, 119-121, 123-128, 130-135, 200-204, 215-218, 220 and 221.
<strong>The</strong>re is one duplicate of #62; Los Angeles, Cal. to Phoenix, Ariz. <strong>The</strong>re are two maps numbered 28, but they are different maps. Many of the cards
have quaint advise to the new motorist: Help Prevent Fires, Keep to Right, Do Not Exceed Speed Limit, etc. <strong>The</strong> folding road maps are mostly of cities,
counties or areas of California, dating form 1917 to 1940, with many from the earlier period. Some examples are Pasadena, and a most interesting map
titled “Map Showing the 15 and 20 Mile Speed Limit Zones in the City of Los Angeles.” Also a fine pocket map “Road Map Big Bear Lake. Vacation
Land for Every One.” Most of the road maps were also produced by the Automobile Club of California and a few feature colorful period covers. A truly
unique collection of early California road maps. Most of the single-card maps are very good to fine condition, a couple have tears. <strong>The</strong> folding road maps
are also in very good, used condition with an occasional tear. (A) $300-600

a large Indian Reserve. <strong>The</strong> reserve is divided into Cheyenne and Arapahoe tribes. <strong>The</strong>re is extensive watershed information and mountains are shown
in hachure. Locates all mining communities, forts, railroads, and more. This is a handsome map in original outline color. <strong>The</strong> map is still bound in the
rare enlarged edition (the first to contain the map) of this important book on Colorado: “<strong>The</strong> Mines of Colorado.” It provides a view of the geography,
geology, climate, and agriculture etc. Extensive information on over 165 mining enterprises. Hardbound in maroon cloth, gilt titling on spine, 450 pp. with
11 additional pages of advertising at back. A scarce issue, as these books are rarely found with the map intact. <strong>The</strong> folding map is near fine less a 3"
tear from the binding trim that just touches the edge of Weld County. <strong>The</strong> book cover is a little rubbed with some chipping on spine. <strong>The</strong> contents are
near fine less the first few pages with a tiny stain at upper corner with some paper loss, well away from printing. (A) $500-700
251. District of Columbia (Plan von Washington), Meyer, Hand Atlas, 1845. 14.4 x 11.7”. (HC) This well engraved and detailed plan is based upon the
work of Tanner. While later examples (all dated 1845) list up to 85 important <strong>place</strong>s in the key, this early example contains just 76. At upper right is
a large plan of the Capitol Building locating the Senate Chamber, Representatives Hall, the Central Rotunda, Library, West Loggia, and East Portico. <strong>The</strong>
publisher’s line beneath the neatline suggests the map was published in Hildburghausen, Amsterdam, Paris, and Philadelphia. A nice example. A cleaned
and pressed example with fine later coloring in outline. <strong>The</strong> map has a crisp impression and full margins. <strong>The</strong> tip of the lower right corner is missing and
the lower left corner exhibits some creasing, both well away from the image. See image. (A) $140-180

tribes were relocated to Indian Territory where the Five Civilized Tribes formed the nucleus of an organized government. By 1883, however, representatives
of nearly fifty tribes had settled on lands once promised to the original five. This map depicts many of these allocations and provides some data on the
pertinent treaties involved. Does not include the panhandle, which by this time is Public Lands. Drawn by G. P. Strum, principle Draughtsman for the
G.L.O. Folding as issued with full margins and fine coloring. Hint of toning on a fold, still a very good example on sound paper. (A) $240-300

text on the other. <strong>The</strong> map (5.4 x 11") shows the railroad routes printed in heavy, bold black lines with all stops and stations named. Advertising on verso
is printed in bold red and black ink to promote the new route, and includes CHEAP EXCURSION TICKETS and EMIGRANT EXCURSION TICKTETS.
<strong>The</strong> original Iron Mountain Route connected St. Louis with Iron Mountain (near present-day Ironton, Missouri), but then it extended further southwest
until it reached and extended into Texas. This map was issued to encourage immigration into Texas along this line. Printed by the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
A great document of Texas and the continuing westward rush during the 19th century. Paper edges uneven, else fine. (A) $400-600
352. Texas (Latest and Correct Map of the State of Texas), Rand McNally & Co., Chicago, 1888. 20.8 x 16.3”. (PC) Beautiful map of the state of Texas
showing the route of the Iron Mountain Route and the Missouri Pacific Railway. This rare map is inset with a map of the Great Southwest System detailing
the railroads serving the region. <strong>The</strong> reverse of the map is filled with text extolling the various virtues of Texas - from healing consumptives, to soaking
in the beneficial waters of Georgetown and enjoying the lovely winter sun. <strong>The</strong> map folds into vivid paper self wrappers entitled, “Winter Months and
Summer Sunshine. Resorts in Texas and the Southwest.”(3.6 x 8.8) A couple of splits at fold intersections, still nice with vibrant color. (B) $200-300
353. Texas (Tunison’s Texas and Indian Territory), Tunison, Peerless Universal Atlas of the <strong>World</strong>, Chicago, ca. 1890. 13 x 19.6”. (HC) In Tunison’s style,
this is a finely lithographed map with original bright coloring. By this period most mapmakers had adopted printed color rather than the more labor intensive
hand coloring employed here. <strong>The</strong>re is good detail of railroads with all stops located and named. It is decorated with a Victorian style border and title
cartouche, which gives the population of Texas as 1,591,749 and no population reported for Indian Territory. At lower left is an inset “<strong>The</strong> Western Part
of Texas on Reduced Scale.” <strong>The</strong> panhandle of Oklahoma is Public Lands. Indian Territory is clearly divided into about 20 different Indian lands. Green
County, originally established in 1860, is here unnamed and still part of Texas. It was abolished and awarded to Indian Territory by a Supreme Court
decision in 1896. Tunison’s maps were printed on both sides; on the verso are single-page maps of Nebraska and Alabama. <strong>The</strong>re are a couple of stray
spots of color, else fine. (A) $275-350

shows promotional material related to this map and others that the company made, as well as a nota bene under the title mentioning that ‘This is the only
map used to plan campaigns in Virginia by Gen. Scott.’ Scott was a renowned Union general, though quite elderly at the time of the Civil War. He passed
command to Maj. Gen. George B. McClellan in 1861, and versions of this map after 1861 note General McClellan instead of Scott. <strong>The</strong> text also notes
the variety of ways this map can be prepared, from wall maps to folding maps. Quite a fascinating document that folds down to (5.5 x 7"). Ref: Phillips
(M) p. 988; Phillips (VA) p.72. Dissected and linen backed, missing its covers. <strong>The</strong> map has some separations on the folds and a few areas of flaking

Congress, 2nd Session, Washington D.C., 1860-61. 28 x 21.5”. (BW) This is an early and uncommon map of Washington Territory that extends south
to Oregon and east beyond Walla Walla to about 118 . This very detailed map provides information on the extent and status of surveying. It shows watershed,
mountains in hachure, Indian and military reservations, and more. This edition pre-dates the display of gold regions that first appear on the 1862 issue.
<strong>The</strong> Hudson Bay Co’s Claim is near Vancouver, Washington. Signed in the plate by James Wilson, Surveyor General at Olympia on Sept. 20th, 1860.
Washington Territory was created in 1853 and despite Indian hostilities (Yakima Wars 1855-56), some surveying progress was achieved west of the Cascades.
Construction of several Army forts (shown on the map) and military roads continued periodically, supporting further survey efforts. <strong>The</strong> outbreak of
the Spokane War (1858-89) did hamper surveyors and the map reflects a large part of the territory as unsurveyed. Sound example that has been pressed
and mounted on archival tissue. A little toning on some folds, else very good. (B) $140-180
362. Washington (Washington Territory), General Land Office, Se. Ex. Doc. 120, 46th Congress, Washington D.C., 1879. 21 x 16”. (BW) This map is from
the annual report of the GLO and shows the entire territory. It provides information on the status of surveys, various Indian treaties, and the state of
development and settlement. <strong>The</strong> maps main thrust is the delineation of railroads throughout the territory. A note uses different line types to indicate
the various lines of the Northern Pacific Railroad. Indicates proposed lines, constructed lines, and branch lines, each with their date. <strong>The</strong> legend identifies
townships subdivided, county seats, railroad limits, Indian and military reservations, and more. An interesting notation west of the Colville Indian
Reservation states “Reserved for Chief Moses and his people, and such other friendly Indians as may elect to settle here with the Consent of Chief Moses
and the Secretary of the Interior.” An uncommon issue. A near fine example less toning at one fold with small loss. (B) $100-140
363. Wyoming ([Lot of 2] Part of Central Wyoming), U.S. Geographical Survey, HR Doc. Part 2, 37th Congres, 1st Session, Washington D.C., ca. 1881-
82. 33 x 22.5”. A nice pair of complementary maps covering the same region. <strong>The</strong> first is one of six distinctive maps of Wyoming from this important
early survey. <strong>The</strong> map extends from part of the Wind River Reservation south to Rawlins. It displays the full course of the Sweetwater River, South
Pass, etc. and depicts trails throughout the region. Remarkable detail is shown with contour intervals at 200 feet and a scale of 4 miles = 1 inch. <strong>Old</strong> wagon
roads, trails and the Union Pacific Railroad are featured. Color and pattern icons at the bottom provides the key to the 32 different geological types. Wheat
draws attention to the map’s value to students of the Fur Trade and overland immigration routes. <strong>The</strong> second map is identical, but contains only geographical
information without the geological information. <strong>The</strong> maps were published in Hayden’s 12th Annual Report, published in 1883 from surveys accomplished
in 1877. With this publication, the maps finally adopted the contour system (instead of hachure). Ref: Wheat (TMW) #1296. A very fine example with
bright coloring and clean paper, with just a few short marginal splits. <strong>The</strong> uncolored edition is also very good. (A) $120-140

United States, Mexico & West Indies
364. United States & Mexico (Le Nouveau Mexique, et la Floride…), Sanson, Paris, 1679. 21.5 x 12.3”. (HC) This is an extremely influential map; the
first large-scale map to focus on the American Southwest and to focus in detail on a huge island of California. <strong>The</strong> information Sanson used to develop
his concept of the island of California is drawn from information taken from a map by Luke Foxe, which showed the twin indentations at the top of the
island, here named Talaago and R. de Estiete. <strong>The</strong> unusual peninsula of Agubela de Cato is of unknown origin, and in fact shows up on maps well into
the 1700’s. This map was produced just as French influence in Canada and the Ohio Valley was expanding. Sanson calls the coastal area between the
Florida peninsula and Virginia Floride Francois, the first such designation. In Florida, he restored some French Huguenot settlements that had been eliminated
by the Spanish in 1568, but, as Tooley notes, he also changed <strong>place</strong> names from French to Spanish. This is also the first application of the name of Lake
Erie for a recognizable lake, here called Erie Lac. Sanson drew a ring of mountains, which, along with his compressing the land south of Lake Erie, enabled
the French claims in the region to be greatly expanded against the competing Spanish and English claims. <strong>The</strong> Mississippi empties into a small sea called
the Mar Pequeno, just above the mouth of the river, perhaps referring to Lake Pontchartrain. <strong>The</strong> Rio Grande, here called R. del Norte, travels from a
large lake near Taos to the Mar Vermeio. This is McLaughlin’s second edition, and Burden’s fourth state with the alteration of the date to 1679. Ref: Tooley
(Amer) p. 115, #14; Burden #319; McLaughlin #17; Wheat (TMW) #50. Nice, clean example original outline color and a repaired fold separation in the
lower, blank margin. <strong>The</strong> map has generous margins with an indistinct stain near Nueva Biscaya. (A+) $5000-7000
365. Southwestern United States and Mexico (‘T Gebiedt van Guadalajara Nieu Mexico en Californie enz.), Sanson, Paris, ca. 1705. 9.3 x 8”. (HC) This
is the Dutch version of the first regional map focusing on the island of California. This map was first published in 1657 and introduced the so-called second
Sanson model of California. This depiction shows a small peninsula (Agubela de Cato) above the island, two bays along the island’s northern coast and
two new <strong>place</strong> names, Tolaago and R. de Estiete. Sanson actually based this information on the less well known map by Luke Foxe, but it was Sanson’s
map that influenced many other cartographers throughout the rest of the century. On this version the name Nouvelle Albion appears in the northern part
of California. On the mainland there are new Indian tribes identified in the region of the R. del Norte, flowing southwest from a large inland lake and two
large clusters of mountains are shown pictorially around tree filled valleys. A Lago del Oro is named on the coast. <strong>The</strong> map is decorated with a striking
winged cartouche. Ref: cf Burden #327; McLaughlin #16, state 5; Tooley (Amer) p. 116, #15. Excellent impression. (A+) $1000-1200

Delle Transagione Filosofiche Dell Societa Regia…, Naples, [1731]. 7.5 x 8.8”. (BW) This is an uncommon Italian version of Father Kino’s important
map disproving the theory of California as an island. Kino’s map was the first to accurately depict the region, in particular the relative positions of the
Colorado and Gila rivers and the correct localization of the rivers, valleys and mountains of part of Sonora and Arizona. Kino’s publication, first published
in 1705, was intended to disprove the California as an island theory, but instead actually fueled the controversy and thus the map was reprinted many
times. This is an essential map to any collection of California or the American Southwest. Ref: cf Wheat [TMW] #89; Wagner #483; Schwartz & Ehrenberg

of the old Spanish territory. <strong>The</strong> huge Utah Territory encompasses all of present day Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Arizona and part of New Mexico. Its
boundary with California lies along the Sierra Nevada range. A small settlement of Arizona lies in the southern portion near the Mexican border. Nebraska
Territory occupies the region between the Platte River and Canada, and from the Rocky Mountains to the Missouri River. Kansas Territory takes in
present day Kansas, Nebraska and part of Colorado. <strong>The</strong> map shows the Gadsden Purchase boundary between the U.S. and Mexico. This map also notes
a large German colony in the area of Fredericksburg, in central Texas. Fredericksburg was founded by German immigrants under the auspices of the Society
for the Protection of German Immigrants in Texas. In 1846 John O. Meusebach led 120 fellow Germans into the area between the banks of the Llano
and Colorado Rivers. Meusebach named the colony for Prince Frederick of Prussia. Beneath this colony is located a French colony. Both colonies are
rarely seen on maps. An unusual map with some interesting territorial borders. Short fold split in margin has been closed on verso. <strong>The</strong> map has full,

Territory and vicinity to the Pacific. Each was published under the direction of the Head Quarters in Santa Fe and are signed in the plate “Cyrus H. DeForrest,
1st Lieut. & Aide-de-Camp.” Major David Fergusson explored the territory between Tucson and Lobos Bay, Mexico to see if this would be a better supply
route for Arizona than the currently used Texas and Kansas City route. Following the expedition, he strongly advocated this route as well as the purchase
of parts of northern Sonora as necessary to give the U.S. a port in Arizona.
<strong>The</strong> first map delineates the border territory extending from Los Angeles and Baja California to El Paso. Routes from Tucson into Mexico and several
“practicable railroad routes” are identified. 1863. (14.3 x 6.5")

383. Mexico ([Mexico]), Kircher, d’Onder-Aardse Weereld, Amsterdam, [1682]. 3.3 x 5.5”. (HC) This unusual map is from Kircher’s masterpiece, the
first serious effort to describe the physical makeup of the earth, proposing theories (sometimes fantastic) in the areas of physics, geography, geology,
and chemistry. <strong>The</strong> map is devoid of political information, except to show Mexico City in the middle of a large lake. Instead it focuses entirely on the
subterranean river connecting two lakes with the Gulf of Mexico. Kircher’s theories included the notion that the world’s oceans were all interconnected.
Published in a Dutch edition of Kircher’s famous Subterranean <strong>World</strong> by Johann Waesberger. On a full sheet of Dutch text. (A) $110-150

385. Mexico (Descripcion del di Stricto de la Audiencia de la Nueva Galicia), Herrera y Tordesillas, ca. 1723. 11 x 7.8”. (BW) This simple outline map of
Nueva Galicia is based on Juan López de Velasco’s manuscript and covers the western part of present-day Mexico. Some of the early Spanish settlements
are named including Guadalajara, San Miguel, Xeres, Compostela, Durango, and S. Martin. Locates a large Lake Chapala and pto. de la Navidad, near today’s
Barre de Navidad and just south of Puerto Vallarta. <strong>The</strong> map extends north along the coast to name the R. de Na. Senora and shows the island Guayaual,
most likely a reference to the land bar creating the Laguna del Caimanero south of Mazatlan.
Antonio de Herrera Y Tordesillas was the official historian of Spain and the Indies. He compiled a history of the Spanish conquests and early explorations
in the Americas, complete with several engraved maps of the region. His work (Historia general de los hechos de los Castellanos) was originally published
in 1601 with several editions and translations thereafter. This map appears to be from the 1723 edition by Torquemada or the 1726 derivative by Rodriquez.

map covers the Baja from Isle Redonda and the Mission de San Francisco Borja to La Paz. This was the first atlas map to provide such a fine level of
detail in the Baja. <strong>The</strong> Atlas Universel was a monumental work and milestone in cartography; particularly the cartography of the American West. It was
the first atlas of the world with all maps on the same scale (1: 1,641,836 - about one inch to 26 miles) and the first lithographed world atlas. <strong>The</strong> maps
(400 in all) were intended to be joined together, thus forming a globe measuring 7.75 meters in diameter. <strong>The</strong>re was only one edition, published in a series
of parts between 1825-27, and the subscription list shows that a mere 810 copies were sold. Short fold separations are closed on verso with archival

configuration of Florida as wedge-shaped with a flat bottom. <strong>The</strong> chart is covered with interesting notations concerning the history of the region, territorial
claims, and the Spanish gold fleet. Extensive trade-wind arrows and a compass rose fill the seas. A long notation gives sailing directions from Europe,
Africa, Florida to Jamaica, and from Jamaica to the Windward Passage. Complete and still bound with the original Gentleman’s Magazine, January 1740.
Interesting magazine with a report on the Senate of Lilliput, which are in fact a report of the debates in Parliament, which were forbidden to be published

21-sheet map of 1733. <strong>The</strong> map shows the variations in the trade winds and includes several navigation routes including the Spanish gold fleet from Vera
Cruz to Havana. <strong>The</strong> entire coastal and interior areas are shown with excellent detail, particularly those of Florida and present-day Texas. <strong>The</strong> colonial

of Barbados. Lignon based his map on information given him by Captain John Swan, the island’s leading surveyor of the time. <strong>The</strong> map depicts the island’s
outline fairly accurately, but makes it about a third longer than its correct length. <strong>The</strong> map identifies 285 plantations by the owner’s name. <strong>The</strong> majority
of the plantations are along the south and west coasts. Four churches are shown and there are fortifications at Carlisle Bay protecting the island’s principal
town, Bridgetown. In the middle of the map is the notation, “the tenn Thousande Acres of Lande which Belongeth to the Merchants of London.” This
is a reference to the land leased by Lord Carlisle to a group of merchants after Charles I rescinded the original grant of the island to Sir William Courteen.
Scattered throughout the interior, most of which was overgrown with primeval forest, are quaint vignettes of the island’s inhabitants and wildlife. <strong>The</strong>re
are knights in full armor, indentured servants, and a scene of a plantation owner chasing runaway slaves. <strong>The</strong> animal life is also illustrated; cattle, sheep,
asses, wild hogs and even camels. Besides the hogs, which had been introduced to the islands by the Portuguese in the 16th century, the other animals
had been brought to the island by the English settlers, including the camels that were used as beasts of burden on the plantations. According to Lignon,
“several planters imported these beasts and found them useful in Barbados, but did not know how to diet them.”
Richard Ligon was a Royalist who escaped some of the troubled politics of England in the 1640s by spending three years in Barbados. In 1650 he returned
to England where he was thrown into debtors prison. He wrote his account and drew this map while in prison and it was published by Humphrey Moseley
in 1657. Ref: Campbell (MCC-21) p. 9, #1. Fine impression printed on hand-laid paper with narrow margins, as issued. Issued folding, now pressed

Gerard Van Keulen was the son of Johannes Van Keulen, patriarch of perhaps the most prolific of all Dutch mapmaking families. <strong>The</strong> family firm commenced
in 1680, but it was Gerard who brought it to its full glory in the 18th century. A talented engraver and mathematician, and later Hydrographer to the East
India Company, Gerard became the mainspring of the business, issuing many important charts and books on all aspects of geography, navigation, etc.
Until the opening of the Dutch Hydrographic Office in the 19th century, the Van Keulen firm issued what were regarded as the official Dutch sea charts.
<strong>The</strong> chart was original published with a series of coastal profiles along the bottom. This example has been trimmed at bottom leaving an ample margin.

in the Dutch West Indies, which had the distinction of being the first foreign nation to officially recognize the newly formed United States during the American
Revolution. For a while, Statia was the only link between Europe and the fledgling American colonies and was the major supplier of arms and ammunition
to the rebellious British Colonies. As such, it was the subject of conflict among the most powerful seafaring nations of the time. This scene delicately

then attacked the British fortifications in 1778, encouraged by the American War of Independence, and won. This map is very similar to Phillipe Buache’s
Carte de la Dominique Prise par les François le Septembre 1778 except it is lacking the insets showing the French military plans. <strong>The</strong> topography is well
presented, as is the coastal detail. <strong>The</strong> body of water in the lower center of Dominica that is now called the Emerald Pool is here called simply the Pond.

chart of the island (1635), which in turn was based on the famous survey by John Norwood of the Bermuda Company in 1618. <strong>The</strong> map shows the division
into the original Tribes, or shares and shows the various landowners, with their names in a table below the map. Bermuda was colonized in 1612, just
a little after Jamestown (1606). Roanoake Colony had already failed by this time, but it is noted on the map and in the cartouche. <strong>The</strong> map uses Blaeu’s
previous projection to show Bermuda’s correct proportion and position in the North Atlantic by superimposing this map over a smaller scale map of
the Atlantic with the coastlines of Britain, North America and Hispaniola, with a tiny island of Bermuda appearing just beneath the title cartouche. <strong>The</strong>
map is decorated with an aquatic themed title cartouche, including Neptune riding a pair of sea monsters, surrounded by putti. <strong>The</strong> scale of miles cartouche

filling the Icelandic seas with a Boschian array of sea monsters. A lettered key on the verso gives descriptions of the creatures along with an explanation
of their various characteristics. Some of the beasts can be linked to a real sea creature, particularly whales and walruses, while others are wholly fantastic,
such as the aquatic hyena (D), and seagoing cows (K). A Latin note near the coast explains a group of foxes holding each others tails suspended down
a cliff as follows: Sly little foxes reaching for bird’s nests to rob. <strong>The</strong> upper right corner accurately depicts polar bears gamboling and fighting on ice flows,
while below them an expanse of driftwood makes its way to the northern coast. Driftwood was and still is an important natural resource in coastal Iceland
after it floats down from Siberia. Ambergris is noted as well (O), with the description on the verso linking it to sperm whales. <strong>The</strong> interior of the island
shows its mountainous topography, including Mt. Hekla in all its volcanic fury, spewing flames and rocks. Ortelius attributed the cartography to Andres
Sorensen Vedel, a Danish historian, who acquired the information from a now lost map by Bishop Gudbrandur Thorlaksson. <strong>The</strong> map was published
in a 1592 Latin edition with descriptive Latin text on the verso. Ref: Campbell, plt. 40; Van den Broecke #161. A beautiful impression with professional
reinforcement of the centerfold and two upper corners of blank margin. <strong>The</strong> map is in very good condition with the exception of some light toning and

that Dunmow (#114) is “Famous for giving a Flitch of Bacon to any married couple who will swear they never repented being married in thought, word
or deed.” Players purchased their playing pieces separately, and as they traveled around the map they had to be careful of certain destinations, such as
landing on <strong>The</strong> Isle of Man (#89), where they would be shipwrecked until the end of the game, or even Marlborough (#32), where they had to wait one
turn as they dined at “one of the finest Inns in the kingdom.” Dissected map laid on original linen.
Map games were a popular sideline for cartographic publishers from about 1760 onward in England, with John Bowles publishing the earliest geographical
game in 1759. John Wallis Sr. and his son Edward began working together as mapsellers and publishers, and by the 1790s, Wallis’ business began to focus
on map games, at which point he began to dominate the London market for such items. This business continued up to about 1850 with John’s son Edward
succeeding his father around 1818. Ref: Mapforum #10, pp 60. Original color, with some scattered foxing and small loss at bottom edge, just past the

Largo di Garda, north to the Alps, and south to below Milan. Symbols are used to indicate the frequency of postal delivery. However there is no legend,

(BW) Spectacular, panoramic view of Jerusalem as viewed from Mount of Olives with several figures in the foreground. Cornelis van Bruyn (1652-1726)
was a painter 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 gorgeous view of Jerusalem is probably
the engraving for which he is <strong>best</strong> known. His works are particularly historically valuable because of their accuracy. Printed on two joined sheets as

799. Philippines (Carte du Canal des Isles Philippines Par Lequel Passe le Galion de Manille et les Iles Voisines de ce Canal), Anson, London, ca. 1750. 16.5
x 21”. (HC) A large chart of the Philippines from Anson’s account of his circumnavigation, one of the last great buccaneering voyages. This map shows
the route of the treasure-laden galleon from Manila to the point just past Cape Espiritu Santo where she was taken by Anson. <strong>The</strong> chart is centered on
a dramatic compass rose.
In 1740 Anson set sail in command of a squadron sent to attack Spanish possessions and interests in South America. <strong>The</strong> expedition was ill-equipped and failed
to carry out its original ambitious mission. By June 1741 when Anson reached Juan Fernandes, his force had been reduced to only three of the original
six ships, while the strength of his crews had fallen from 961 to 335. After recuperating on the island he collected the remaining survivors on his flagship,
the Centurion, and set sail in search of one of the richly laden galleons that conducted the trade between Mexico and the Philippines. <strong>The</strong> indomitable
perseverance he had shown during one of the most arduous voyages the history of sea adventure gained the reward of the capture of an immensely rich
prize, the Nuestra Señora de Covadonga, which he encountered off Cape Espiritu Santo on June 20, 1743. Sharp impression with folds as issued. <strong>The</strong>
map is remargined to the neatline on the lower left binding side, also repairing a small tear just into the border. <strong>The</strong> right margin has a short fold separation,

by Petrus Kaerius for Jansson’s editions of the Atlas Minor. German text on verso (A) $275-350
801. East Indies - Indonesia (Spinhuys), Nieuhoff, Amsterdam, ca. 1682. 14 x 11.5”. (HC) Uncommon view of the poorhouse or ‘spinhouse’ in Batavia,
now Jakarta. <strong>The</strong> Spinhouse was for females and was a penal institution that held mostly beggars, orphans and prostitutes. <strong>The</strong>y were taught to make
fabrics so they might be ‘reformed’ and have a trade. This lively view shows new inmates on the left weeping as they head towards the house, while to
the right it seems some of the inmates are still keeping their old profession. A group of inmates are seen on the quay washing linen, while the busy river
teems with boats. Sharp impression. <strong>The</strong>re are just a couple small spots of foxing in the image. <strong>The</strong>re is some marginal weakness and fraying that has
been reinforced with archival tissue. (B) $200-275

804. East Indies - Indonesia (Carte Particuliere des Isles Moluques. Byzondere Kaart der Molukze Eylanden), Bellin/Van Schley, Harrevelt’s Hist. Gen.
des Voyages, <strong>The</strong> Hague, ca. 1765. 6 x 8.5”. (HC) Delicately engraved map representing the western coast of Irian Jaya and the Moluccos Islands, the

Spice Islands. (A) $120-170
Africa
806. Africa (Africae Tabula Nova), Ortelius, <strong>The</strong>atrum Orbis Terrarum, Antwerp, 1570. 19.7 x 14.7”. (HC) This striking continental map was designed
by Ortelius from elements of contemporary maps by Gastaldi, Mercator, and Forlani. It is considered a cornerstone map for African collections. <strong>The</strong>
name Carneca appears for the first time, and Zanzibar is incorrectly shown on the west coast. <strong>The</strong> Nile is based on the Ptolemaic concept, originating
from two large lakes south of the equator. <strong>The</strong> map is decorated with a strapwork title cartouche, a grand sea battle, and sea monsters. This is an early
edition before 1602 as the ‘ghost monster’ noted by Van den Broecke is still very visible in the ocean off the coast of Arabia, the date of 1570 is still present,
and there are no cracks evident in the title cartouche. Latin text on verso. Ref: Van de Broecke #8; Norwich #10 :Tooley (AF) p. 88. Near fine with lovely
old color and a couple of spots on either side of the lower centerfold. (B) $2750-3500

of German text. Two Gothic illustrations on the verso, including one of a man being roasted on a spit. Ref: Norwich #5. (A) $160-200
808. Africa (Africa), Bertius, Tabularum Geographicarum, Amsterdam, ca. 1610. 4.7 x 3.3”. (HC) This miniature map of the continent appears to be a reduced
version of Hondius folio map with the typical misconceptions of the period. <strong>The</strong>re are sea monsters in the oceans including a very fierce lion-headed one
just south of Madagascar. French text on verso. Toned with a worm hole in an unengraved area and hinge remnants on verso. (B) $160-220
809. Africa (L’Afrique divisee suivant l’estendue de ses principales parties…), Jaillot, Atlas Nouveau, Paris, 1692. 34.8 x 21”. (HC) This large and striking
map is Jaillot’s first map of the continent and is an enlarged version of Sanson’s earlier map. <strong>The</strong> source of the Nile is shown on the Ptolemaic depiction
originating from two lakes below the Equator. A large section of South America is shown and two St. Helena islands appear - a common error in maps
from this period. <strong>The</strong> large distance scale cartouche has six scales. <strong>The</strong> very large and decorative title cartouche is filled with symbols of Africa, including
native figures, cornucopias, elephant, crocodile, lion and ostrich under the coat of arms of the Dauphin. Two sheets joined, as issued. Ref: Norwich #46,
Tooley (AF) p.56, plt. #41. Attractive color and a nice, sharp impression. <strong>The</strong>re is some light offsetting and a few spots of foxing in the map. <strong>The</strong> margins

810. Africa (Accuratissima Totius Africae Tabula in Lucem Producta), Sandrart, Nuremberg, ca. 1700. 22.5 x 19”. (HC) Large map of the continent, which
is a close copy of de Wit’s map of 1680, with the same small vignettes of indigenous animals (including an elephant and a rhinoceros), and the Ptolemaic
description of the Nile basin. <strong>The</strong> lively cartouche though is Sandrart’s original design and includes a variety of native peoples, animals, and reptiles. <strong>The</strong>
map was engraved by J.B. Homann before he set up his own map publishing business. Ref: Norwich #61. Light overall toning with a lighter impression
in the cartouche. Centerfold strengthened with Japanese tissue. Paper hinge remnants on verso. (B) $1200-1400
811. Africa (L’Afrique Dressee sur les Observations…), Delisle/Schenk, Amsterdam, 1708. 22.5 x 17.5”. (HC) This striking map is one of the landmarks
in the history of charting Africa. It was first issued by Delisle in 1700 and is distinguished by his scientific approach to cartography. Most of the maps
of Africa issued in the eighteenth century were based on this map or his revision in 1722. <strong>The</strong> Nile is correctly shown with its origins in Abyssinia. <strong>The</strong>
Congo or River Zaire, R. du Saint Esprit and the Zambeze appear in the south, along with the Portuguese settlements of Sean, Tete and Chicora. Several
native kingdoms are named, as well as the sites of various mining districts. <strong>The</strong> title cartouche is beautifully decorated with three elephants, an ostrich
and a native wrestling a crocodile. Ref: Norwich #59. Sharp impression with original color. Bit of light scattered foxing in map with some damp stains
in blank margins. <strong>The</strong> left blank margin has a vellum atlas tab attached on the verso. (B) $600-800

handsome map of Africa with the typical features of the early eighteenth century. <strong>The</strong> source of the Nile is shown quite well for the period. However,
remnants of the Ptolemaic twin lakes that were considered the Nile source are present, now no longer attached to the Nile with the Zebee River flowing
into them. <strong>The</strong> title cartouche is particularly nice with pyramids, a Moorish soldier, river god, native with elephant tusks, lion, serpent, elephant and dragon.
Ref: Norwich #76. Sharp impression printed on paper with a nice watermark with some irregular toning. One tear on the left enters the map about 1.5
inches, repaired on the verso with archival tissue. <strong>The</strong> top margin is frayed with some short tears, not entering map. (B) $450-500

This is an extremely early, and rare engraving of the region of Libya and Tunisia showing Malta and a bit of Sicily and Sardinia as well. Berlinghieri’s maps
are the only ones based on Ptolemy to be drawn on the original projection, with equidistant meridians and parallels. Berlinghieri paraphrased Ptolemy
in Italian terza rima (a poetic form ), making this from the first atlas in vernacular Italian. <strong>The</strong> map is beautifully engraved with stippled seas and a unique
depiction of the mountain ranges. It has been argued among map historians that the plates were engraved by Francesco Rosselli. Ref: Mickwitz &
Miekkavaara (Nordenskiold Vol. 2) #198-14; Imago Mundi, Vol. 56, No. 2, pp. 152-169. This is a dark, crisp impression with some minor loss on centerfold.

from Psalms.
<strong>The</strong> firm of Thielman Kerver is <strong>best</strong> known for its lovely Books of Hours, many of which include hand-painted miniatures and initial letters. <strong>The</strong>ilman Kerver,
who was one of France’s most prolific printers of such books, began printing Books of Hours in 1497 and continued until his death in 1522. At that time,
his widow, Iolande Bonhomme, took over the firm and continued to produce liturgical books of different types until 1556. Brunet notes that even though
Kerver printed many different Books of Hours, his work is less common than that of his colleagues, Simon Vostre and the Hardouins. Brunet suspects
that this is because fewer copies on vellum were printed, and paper copies were destroyed. This may also account for the rarity of this leaf. Printed
on very fine vellum with an old addition of extra calfskin to the verso right corner, probably to facilitate binding. (A) $110-150

Patriarch Luc Antonio, called <strong>The</strong> Coryphaeur, or leader of printers founded the highly regarded printing house of Giunta in 1482. After his death in 1537,
the business was carried on by his descendants in Italy, France, and Spain, well into the 17th century. (A+) $150-200

893. Atlases (Atlas Celeste de Flamsteed, Publie en 1776, Par J. Fortin…), Flamsteed/Fortin, Paris, 1795. 6 x 9”. (BW) This important and highly desirable
celestial atlas was originally produced by John Flamsteed (1646-1719), the first Astronomer Royal of Great Britain, and is complete with 30 of the most
accurate and detailed star charts of the time. <strong>The</strong> original edition, being expensive, unwieldy and not aesthetically pleasing was reprinted and reduced in
size by Jean Fortin in 1795 using Flamsteed’s plates from his 1776 edition. This smaller, more affordable issue soon became the standard as numerous
improvements were made including the addition of new constellations and more nebulae. Of the 30 plates, 26 are centered on the major constellations seen
from Greenwich. <strong>The</strong> rest are from the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, and one showing the alignment of the main northern stars. 8vo. Original
hardbound in quarter calf and marbled boards. Title page, ix, table of contents and 47 pp. of text and tables. Gilt title on spine.
<strong>The</strong> 1776 edition contained few nebulae (following the Flamsteed tradition), but now many of the Messier objects have been added. In addition, several new
constellations were added. <strong>The</strong> period between 1776 and 1790 had seen the invention of 5 new constellations, several honoring political patrons, and two
in honor of William Hershcel, the discoverer of Uranus, and this edition contains all of them. If we compare the plate of the Orion/Taurus region with
the corresponding plate in the 1776 atlas, we see that the “Harp of George” has been inserted beneath Taurus, and the “Telescope of Herschel” has been
added between Orion’s head and the horns of the Bull. Text and charts good with the usual foxing. Covers with minor shelf wear. Corners bumped.
Spine is slightly cracked at upper extremity and has a small wormhole. Some pencil notations inside front cover. Binding and signatures tight. Remarkable
condition for it’s age. (A) $3000-3500

This important little American atlas is complete with 63 uncolored, copper-engraved maps of the world, continents and countries, and U.S. states and
regions; 56 that are from the 1804 edition, plus seven additional maps. Of particular interest is Louisiana, which is highlighted by the “Mtns de la Roche
or Stoney Mtns.” Paul Cohen describes this map in Mapping the West, that, although as equally inaccurate as the Soulard version, “[the Samuel Lewis
map] ... was the primary map of the newly purchased territory of Louisiana and its surroundings and, as such, reflected and shaped American popular
geographical images of the western interior at the time of Lewis and Clark.” Other American maps of note are early Tennessee, Ohio, Mississippi Territory,
British Possession in America, and Spanish Dominion in North America. <strong>The</strong> map of Australia shows an incomplete southern coastline, but a completely
insular Tasmania. 4to, hardbound in original paper over boards and quarter leather spine. Ref: Cohen, p. 80; Phillips (A) #718; Wheat (TMW) 259, 260,

896. Atlases (A New General Atlas of the <strong>World</strong>), Dower, London, 1831. 10.5 x 15”. (HC) Sometimes referred to as the “Teesdale Atlas”, this excellent
and very hard to find example contains 46 finely engraved, full colored and very detailed maps done by John Dower. <strong>The</strong> maps, with their graceful and
elegant coloring, successfully depict the political boundaries of the world at the time. Each map is very finely engraved and has lovely original hand coloring
and decorative banknote-style borders. Of particular interest is the fold out map of India which is dissected and has been backed with linen. <strong>The</strong> map

of the Americas features a Fifty-Four Forty or Fight border with the U.S. extending well north into British America. In Europe, the Austro-Hungarian
Empire and the Turkish Empire meet in the Balkans, and Germany and Italy, decades away from unification, are shown with their individual states. <strong>The</strong>
map of the West Indies includes a notation of the location where Admiral Benbow engaged in battle with the Frenchman DuCasse near the coast of Columbia.
Two of Benbow’s Captains deserted the battle allowing the French to gain access to the Spanish holdings, and were later convicted of cowardice and executed.
Benbow himself suffered a wound to his leg which had to be amputated. He soon developed an infection, and quickly succumbed. At the back of the
atlas are maps of the ancient world including the Empires of Greece, Rome and Persia, and a map of Ancient Palestine that includes an inset of Jerusalem.

929. Miscellaneous Books (Macrobii in Somnium Scipio= nis ex Ciceronis… (Comment on the Dream of Scipio by Cicero)), Macrobius, Venice, 1528. 4
x 6.3”. (BW) Very scarce 1528 Aldine edition of Expositio in Somnium Scipionis ex Cicerone (Commentary on the Dream of Scipio by Cicero), a Neoplatonic
work written by Ambrosius Macrobius in the 5th century. This edition includes a rare woodcut map of the world that was prepared by Andreas Asulanus,
and used only for this edition of Macrobius. <strong>The</strong> map is characteristic of the later medieval versions of the Macrobian world-picture. It depicts the spherical
world with wind heads in each corner. Macrobius’ geographic concept of the world shows the inhabited world north of the Equator balanced by a southern
continent (Temperata Antipodum Nobis Incognita) and divided from it by a large ocean. Macrobius further divided the earth into climate zones, three of
which were considered uninhabitable: two at the poles, which were too cold to support life, and one at the Equator, which was too hot. It was this notion
of antipodean balance and landmass equivalence that continued to attract medieval minds to the otherwise outmoded geographical ideas of Macrobius.
Macrobius was a follower of the Neoplatonists, philosophers originating in Alexandria around the third century, who believed in blending Plato’s ideas with
theosophy. His commentary on Cicero and Plato includes several chapters dealing with his own conception of the world and the universe.
