Praga, Bohemiae Metropolis Accuratissime Expressa [on sheet with] Egra Urbs a Fluvio, Cui Adiacet, Dicta, Olim Imperio Romano... At top is a panoramic view of the Bohemian capital of Prague situated on the banks of the River Vltava and surrounded by verdant hillsides of the Vltava Valley. The three distinct sections of the city are visible in the view: the Stare Mesto (Old Town) surrounding the Vysehrad (high castle), the Nove Mesto (New Town), and the Mala Strana (Lesser Quarter) clustered around the Prague Castle. The Charles Bridge connects the Mala Strana to the Nove Mesto. Much of this development dates from the reign of Charles IV (1346-78) when Prague was the capital of the Holy Roman Empire and the most important city in central Europe. Below is a view of the city of Cheb, on the River Eger, from which the town derived its original name. The Imperial Palace dominates the view. French manuscript text on verso. A nice impression on watermarked paper with attractive color, light soiling, and several short printer`s creases. There is a dark pencil line in left blank margin and several tiny holes, all away from image. 13.2"" W x 18.6"" H Braun & Hogenberg, 1575

Johnson`s New Illustrated Family Atlas, with Physical Geography, and with Descriptions Geographical, Statistical, and Historical... This complete atlas contains 55 beautifully rendered maps, including 47 double-page maps. There are several thematic maps and diagrams interspersed throughout the text that display the geology, weather, tides, agriculture, flags and animal kingdoms of the world. The steel-engraved frontispiece is a lovely view of the US Capitol. This atlas also features the double-page Civil War map Vicinity of Richmond.This edition includes the Southwest map depicting the original four counties of Yavapai, Mohave, Yuma, and Pima in the newly organized Arizona Territory, with Prescott as the capital. The Utah/Nevada border is now at 114° and Arizona and Nevada have their final borders. Early historical details include the Pony Express and United States Mail routes, the emigrant roads to California, and the proposed southern railroad route.The double-page map of Texas shows county development mostly in eastern Texas and only the four large counties of Young, El Paso, Presidio and Bexar in the west. The panhandle, noted as the Staked Plains … without Wood or Water, includes a large section that is unorganized. There is nice depiction of the wagon roads, many named, with several completed railroads. The inset maps are `Northern part of Texas` and `Plan of Galveston Bay.` The double-page map of `Nebraska, Dakota, Idaho and Montana` shows a very early rendering of Wyoming Territory, organized in 1868. Idaho is shown taking up the present-day Wyoming region south of Jackson Hole. With the exception of the southwestern border, Montana is correctly formed which, along with Wyoming, was previously contained in a large Idaho territory. Dakota Territory, from which Wyoming was formed, remains undivided. There is excellent detail throughout with scores of place names, roads, watershed, topography, the Emigrant Road, forts, springs, routes of exploration and proposed railroads. The route of the Pony Express & U.S. Mail Route through Utah, Wyoming and Nebraska is delineated.Folio. 137 pp., frontispiece, 55 maps, and 5 charts depicting mountains and rivers of the world, flags, universal time, and coats of arms.

The binding is sound. The front and back free-endpapers have been removed, and the last page in the atlas is partially detached. The covers and spine show moderate wear. 18.6"" W x 14.8"" H Johnson, A. J. 1867

Map of North America Designed to Accompany Smith`s Geography for Schools An early example of this copper engraved map that shows the United States with a population of 17 million people. The Independent Republic of Texas with Austin as its capital is prominently featured. The entire western region is mostly unsettled with only a few place names including St. Francisco, Monterrey, St. Diego and Albuquerque. In the vicinity of Santa Barbara is St. Louis, a name we`ve not see on any other map. Alaska is a large blank area labeled Russian Possessions with the notation Unexplored Region, and Canada is labeled New Britain as well as British America. In the Northwest, the U.S. extends well up into Canada to the 55th parallel, an early indication of the tensions between the United States and Britain in their claims in the region. Mexico controls the entire Southwest and California up to the 42nd parallel. The Great Basin area is shown as the huge Great Sandy Plains, and the Great Salt Lake is too far to the east and simply called Salt L. The map extends to include Greenland, Central America and the Caribbean. Minor soiling primarily confined to the blank margins. 10.4"" W x 8.7"" H Burgess, Daniel 1839

Pre-Columbian Ceramic Three-Chambered Vessel Chimu culture, 1000-1470 AD. A burnished black ware vessel with funicular neck, conical base and body formed as three chambers with pierced lugs to the shoulders; the body with three lozengiform panels, bilinear border and pelletted detail. 500 grams, 16.5 cm (6 1/2"). Ex Hiller collection, Essex, UK; acquired in the 1950s-1960s. The Chimu built a capital at Chan Chan, just north of Trujillo. Chan Chan is the largest pre-Columbian city in Peru, covering about 28 sq km, and is estimated to have housed about 50,000 people. Gone, for the most part, is the technique of painting pots. Instead, they were fired by a simpler method than that used by the Moche, producing the typical blackware seen in many Chimu pottery collections. Despite its poorer quality, this pottery still shows us life in the Chimu kingdom. Although the quality of the ceramics declined, metallurgy developed and various alloys, including bronze, were worked. The Chimu were also exceptionally fine goldsmiths. It is as an urban society that the Chimu are best remembered. Their huge capital contained approximately 10,000 dwellings of varying quality and importance. Buildings were decorated with friezes, the designs molded into the mud walls, and the more important areas were layered with precious metals. There were storage bins for food and other products from their empire, an empire which stretched along the coast from the Gulf of Guayaquil to Chancay. There were huge walk-in wells, canals, workshops and temples. The royal dead were buried in mounds with a wealth of funerary offerings. The Chimu was a highly organised society - it must have been to have built and supported a city such as Chan Chan. Chimor was conquered 50 years before the arrival of the Spanish, so there were plenty of survivors from pre-Inca times to dictate the particulars of the daily life of the Chimú before their conquest by Inca Tupac Inca Yupanqui. Chimor grew out of the remnants of the Moche culture.

INDIA - TRAVELLERS TO PUNJAB - The Punjab a Hundred Years Ago, Punjab Government Record Office Publications, Monograph No. 18; as described by V. Jacquemont (1831) and A. Soltykoff (1842), Trans. and ed. by H.L.O. Garrett, 1935, first edition, 131pp, original boards. Prince Soltykoff was a Russian artist and traveller in Persia and India. He ended up making two voyages in 1841-43 and 1844-46, and achieving the sobriquet `The Indian` from the Russian and French aristocracy. In 1849 he published a selection of his letters in French accompanied by his drawings, which became very well known in Europe "Lettres sur L`Inde". Paris, 1848. In 1851 the book was translated into Russian and became an instant success: it truly enraptured the Russian reading public. Jacquemont was a French botanist and geologist. Jacquemont travelled to India in 1828, and remained there for the rest of his life. He visited Amber in Rajputana, met with the Sikh Emperor Ranjit Singh at his capital of Lahore, and visited the kingdom of Ladakh in the Himalaya. He also visited Bardhaman in Bengal in November 1829. He died of cholera in Bombay on December 7, 1832.
