Carte du Texas pour les Missions et Voyages Scarce map of Texas based on Jacob de Cordova`s 1849 depiction showing the state west to the Pecos, here labeled R. Puerco, just north of the Rio Grande. Even though published in 1857, this French map illustrates Texas after it became the 28th state in 1845, but before the Compromise of 1850, when the present boundaries were established. There were four empresario grant type colonies established during the Republic of Texas period, one being the Fisher and Miller Colony, shown here north of Fredricksburg. The other three that are no longer noted on this map were Peters` Colony, Castro`s Colony and Mercer`s Colony. These types of colonies were changed to be more in order with regular US land grants. West Texas is noted as being the Solitudes habitees par les Comanches. This map illustrates the travels of Abbe Emmanuel Domenech in Texas; first in 1846-50, and then again in 1851-2. Domenech was the first Catholic priest to be ordained in Texas and was charged with the establishment of the Catholic hierarchy in Texas, amid the tensions of the boundary disputes with Mexico. On his second journey he based himself in Brownsville and visited neighboring places in Texas and Mexico. The tracks of his missionary activities are shown in orange on the map. This map was engraved by Erhard and published by Fevrier. It is an unusual and important map in the history of the state of Texas from the first edition of Domenech`s Journal.

The Famous Hysterical Map of the Yellowstone Park Including a Few Minor? Changes This graphic map of Yellowstone National Park was ""hatched & scratched"" by Jolly Lindgren.

Old Faithful sings, ""I`m Forever Blowing Bubbles,"" while Folsom Peak has a jail cell on top. Lindgren also inserts jokey asides, such as a parenthetical ""Are Ya Hurt?"" beneath Gibbon Falls and ""Hell for Certain"" under Brimstone Basin. The Lindgren brothers of Spokane, Washington, specialized in humorous maps of state parks. An alternate title surrounds the map: A Hysterical Map of the Yellowstone Park with Apologies to the Park Smileage Guaranteed.

Granata Nova et California This is the first printed map to focus on California and the American Southwest, from the first atlas devoted entirely to maps of the Americas. Wytfliet`s work was referred to as a continuation of Ptolemy, despite the fact that there was little connection with Ptolemy except for his name on the title page. Wytfliet compiled his atlas using multiple published sources, including Ramusio, Hakluyt and De Bry. The basis of this map is taken from Petrus Plancius` influential world map of 1592, including the error in naming the Tropicus Capricorni instead of the correct Tropic of Cancer. The most notable feature of the map is the location of the legendary seven cities of Cibola, Septem civitatum Patria, shown surrounding a lake, out of which flows a river that empties into the Mar Vermeio or Gulf of California. The information on the map is from Spanish sources including the narrative of Fray Marco de Niza in 1539 and the account of a rescue party led by Antonio de Espego in 1582.

Printed on two sheets, joined as issued.Robert Dudley was the first Englishman to produce a sea atlas, Dell Arcano del Mare (Secrets of the Sea). A skilled mathematician and navigator, Dudley was exiled from England and settled in Florence where his atlas was published. He introduced a totally new style for sea charts in the atlas with only lines of latitude and longitude and no rhumb lines. The charts were meticulously compiled from original sources and were both scientific and accurate for the time. This important atlas was the first sea atlas of the whole world; the first to use Mercator`s projection throughout; the earliest to show the prevailing winds, currents and magnetic deviation; and the first to expound the advantages of Great Circle Sailing. In an introductory leaf found in one copy in the British Library, the engraver states that he worked on the plates in seclusion for twelve years in an obscure Tuscan village, using no less than 5,000 pounds of copper for the printing plates. It was only issued in two editions and the maps are rarely seen on the market. Issued folding on watermarked paper with light toning along joint and in right blank margin. 18.3 W x 28.8 H Dudley, Robert (Sir) 1661

Brasil Nuova Tavola This is one of the earliest maps of Brazil that is available to collectors.

Carta Particolare del Mare di Ethiopia con l`Isola di S.

The map covers the islands in the South Atlantic centering on St. Helena and extending west to Ascension Island.

Sailing ships, a compass rose and a strapwork title cartouche embellish the chart. Short navigational notes are included throughout. This is the first state. Printed on two sheets, joined as issued.Robert Dudley was the first Englishman to produce a sea atlas, Dell Arcano del Mare (Secrets of the Sea). A skilled mathematician and navigator, Dudley was exiled from England and settled in Florence where his atlas was published. He introduced a totally new style for sea charts in the atlas with only lines of latitude and longitude and no rhumb lines. The charts were meticulously compiled from original sources and were both scientific and accurate for the time. This important atlas was the first sea atlas of the whole world; the first to use Mercator`s projection throughout; the earliest to show the prevailing winds, currents and magnetic deviation; and the first to expound the advantages of Great Circle Sailing. In an introductory leaf found in one copy in the British Library, the engraver states that he worked on the plates in seclusion for twelve years in an obscure Tuscan village, using no less than 5,000 pounds of copper for the printing plates. It was only issued in two editions and the maps are rarely seen on the market. A nice dark impression with light printer`s ink residue on bright, watermarked paper. A very fine example with just a touch of marginal soiling. 19.3 W x 30.3 H Dudley, Robert (Sir) 1646

This is the first state, with page 22 at top right.First published circa 1675, de Wit`s sea atlas, Orbis Maritimus ofte Zee Atlas, contained 27 charts from the North Pole to North and South America. The charts all appear to have been engraved by Romain de Hooghe and are splendid examples of Dutch marine works. The atlas was reprinted with amendments by Louis Renard in 1715, by Reinier and Josua Ottens in 1739 and 1745, and finally by the widow of van Keulen in 1802.
