Soria et Terra Santa Nuova Tavola This early map of Syria, the Holy Land and Cyprus is an enlarged version of Gastaldi`s important map of the same title. Girolamo Ruscelli, the editor, and Valgrisi, the publisher, improved on Gastaldi`s map by following the revisions made by Gastaldi in the Holy Land area of his eight-sheet map of Asia that was published in 1561. The coastline, Jordan Valley and inland seas are much improved from earlier maps, but there are still a number of errors; Mount Lebanon (Monte Libano) is shown well east of Damascus, Jerusalem is too close to the coast, Beirut (Baruto) is too far inland, and some rivers are overstated. Still it is a remarkable presentation of the region for the time period. Engraved in the Italian style with a stippled sea and mountains distinguishing the interior. This is the third edition with a ship added in the Mediterranean. Italian text on verso, published between 1598-99.See also lot 732 for a complete first edition of Ruscelli`s Geographia. Good margins with light soiling. 7.4 W x 9.5 H Ruscelli, Girolamo 1598

Situs Terrae Promissionis SS Bibliorum Intelligentiam Exacte Aperiens Adrichom`s stunning map of the Holy Land was based on numerous sources, including Peter Laicksteen and Christian Sgrooten, Tilleman Stella, Jacob Ziegler, Sebastian Munster, Gerard Mercator, Buchard of Mt. Sion, and even Josephus, Jerome and Ptolemy. This map became immediately popular with leading cartographers such as Jan Jansson and Nicholas Visscher, who used it as the basis for their own maps of the Holy Land. With north oriented to the bottom left, the map extends from the Nile delta to Sidon and is divided into the twelve tribes. There is no bend where Palestine meets Egypt, and the Kishon River erroneously connects the Sea of Galilee with the Mediterranean. The map is finely engraved with minute detail and depicts numerous biblical scenes including the Exodus, Jonah and the Whale, the wandering of the Children of Israel, and several battle scenes. Four burning cities are shown in the Dead Sea: Sodoma, Gomorra, Seboim, and Adama. Sailing ships, sea monsters, Adrichom`s coat of arms, and a compass rose complete the composition. On two sheets, joined as issued.The Theatrum Terrae Sanctae was an atlas and history of the Holy Land and was Adrichom`s most important and famous work. Born in Delft, Christian Kruik van Adrichem, or Christianus Crucius Adrichomius, was a Catholic priest and theologian. Adrichom worked for thirty years on his three-part history of the Holy Land, and only succeeded in publishing the first part, Urbis Hierosolyma Depicta, during his lifetime. The remaining two parts were published posthumously by Georg Braun in 1590, with subsequent editions in 1593, 1600, 1613, 1628, and 1682. The Theatrum Terrae Sanctae contained 12 maps and plans: one of the Holy Land, nine of territories of the Tribes of Israel, one of the Exodus, and a town plan of Jerusalem. A nice impression with attractive color. Issued folding with light creasing along the joint. 13.8 W x 39.3 H Adrichom, Christian van 1682

Ierusalem et Suburbia Eius, Sicut Tempore Christi Floruit, cum Locis, in Quibus Christus Passus Est: quae Religiose a Christianis Obseruata, Etia nu Venerationi Habetur Descripta This impressive plan of the city of Jerusalem at the time of Christ was created by Christian Adrichom and first published in 1584. Kenneth Nebenzahl considers Adrichom`s plan of Jerusalem ""the most dramatic and important of the sixteenth century."" Adrichom used a myriad of sources to develop his plan, including Bernhard von Breitenbach`s woodcut panorama of the city, Sebastian Munster`s view, the texts of pilgrims Burchard of Mt. Sion and William Wey, and the Bible and Josephus. The plan is oriented to the north with the camps of the historic city`s invaders just outside the city walls, and the ancient City of David and Mt. Sion in the south. There are over 250 key locations identified and numbered, which are more fully described in Adrichom`s text. One of the most important contributions of the plan is Adrichom`s identification of the locations of fourteen sites of the Stations of the Cross, which are still accepted today. Adrichom`s plan of Jerusalem remained the definitive layout of the city until archaeological discoveries during the nineteenth century. This example is from the 1682 edition of the Theatrum Terrae Sanctae, published by Jodocus Henricus Kramer. Printed on two separate sheets, professionally joined.The Theatrum Terrae Sanctae was an atlas and history of the Holy Land and was Adrichom`s most important and famous work.

A New Map of Libya or Old Africk Shewing Its General Divisions, Most Remarkable Countries or People, Cities, Townes, Rivers, Mountains &c. Wells` atlas contained two maps of each region - one with its then current form and another with ancient and classical names. This is his `ancient` map of Africa, and although the whole continent is shown, only the geography of Ptolemy is presented. Therefore, the map is largely blank, particularly in the south, which is noted as Unknown to the Ancients. The only city south of the Equator is Rapta metropolis Barbariae and there is a notation at the tip that Vasquez de Gama was the first to sail around Africa in 1497. The large title cartouche is surmounted by the coat of arms of the Duke of Gloucester, who was Wells` student at Oxford and to whom Wells dedicated his atlas. Engraved by R. Spofforth.

A Prospect of the Most Famous Parts of the World [bound with] England Wales Scotland and Ireland DescribedÂ… This handsome miniature atlas is famously known as the ""miniature Speed"" atlas since the maps, engraved by Pieter van den Keere, were based on John Speed`s folio-sized maps published under the same title, A Prospect of the Most Famous Parts of the World. This example is a dual atlas containing both the world atlas and an atlas of the British Isles. Both atlases had an interesting publication history, beginning with the atlas of the British Isles, which was first published between 1605 and 1610. In 1619, the British Isles maps came into the hands of London printer George Humble, who included additional maps and reprinted them under the name of John Speed, thereby initiating the popular series of ""miniature Speed"" atlases. George Humble had published the first edition of John Speed`s folio-sized Theatre of the Empire of Great Britain in 1612 and A Prospect in 1627, both of which saw great success. The first edition of the miniature Prospect atlas appeared in 1646 published by George Humble`s son, William Humble, and was sometimes bound separately from the British Isles atlas and sometimes bound in a dual atlas. The miniature maps in A Prospect were engraved by Van den Keere while in his 70`s, and are believed the be the last maps engraved by him before his death at the age of 75. The atlas contains 19 of 20 maps: Asia, Africa, Europe, Americas, eleven maps of European countries, Persia, the Turkish Empire, China and Tartary. (The world map is perished.) Each of the maps is single page with text on verso taken from Speed`s folio atlas, and all are signed with Van den Keere`s Latinized name, Petrus Kaerius. The simple, typographic title page contains the list of maps and is dated 1646 with the imprint of William Humble. The western hemisphere map, America, depicts California as an island with a flat northern coast and several place names. The cartography of this map is based on Goos` folio map from 1626, and omits any French presence in Canada. Newe Ing. Land is located north of the St. Lawrence River, and Plymuth is the only European settlement depicted. Interestingly, in this example the printer accidentally printed the map of the Low Countries on the verso of the page of text describing Germany. He corrected the error by printing the map of Germany on a separate sheet, and then pasting it on top of the map of the Low Countries (which also correctly appears later in the atlas).There are 62 (of 63) maps in England Wales Scotland and Ireland, including separate maps of England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland, and 58 county maps. (The folding map of the British Isles is not included.) The majority of the British Isles maps were also engraved by Van den Keere and were based on Saxton for the English and Welsh county maps, on Ortelius for the Scottish maps, and on Van den Keere`s own map of Ireland for the Irish maps. It is believed that the map of England was not engraved by Van den Keere, but was commissioned by Humble for the 1627 edition and was based on Speed`s folio map, omitting the costumed figures. The text in this atlas was derived from Speed`s Theatre of the Empire of Great Britain. The title page is dated 1627 with the imprint of George Humble and features two putti, a Dane and a Norman.This is the first edition of the dual atlas to be published. Oblong octavo. New linen spine with original leather boards.The provenance of this atlas is quite fascinating, as it comes from a direct descendent of the cartographer John Speed. The Speed family believes the atlas was purchased in the 1800`s and then passed down from generation to generation. This is the second of only two atlases consigned by the Speed family. Condition code is for the maps, which are all in very good to near fine condition (with the exception of the world map, which has perished) with very light toning on some. There is a light damp stain in the gutter at top, entering the top corner of a few maps. The folding map of Yorkshire has a very small rust hole and stain. There are chips along the edges of the first and last few pages, including the Prospect title page. The England title page is remargined at bottom and has a few pencil markings. Original covers are moderately worn with a repaired crack on the back cover and the corners are bumped and chipped. 4.3 W x 6.6 H Speed/Kaerius, 1627-46

A New Universal Atlas Containing Maps of the Various Empires, Kingdoms, States and Republics of the World... The title continues ""With a special map of each of the United States, Plans of Cities &c. Comprehended in seventy four sheets and forming a series of one hundred and twenty two Maps Plans and Sections."" This is an attractive copy of this famous and highly sought after atlas, complete with 74 hand-colored maps of the world, North America and the other continents, Oceanica, the United States and its territories, and numerous city plans. The map of Texas, first issued in 1846 by Mitchell, depicts the new state boundaries that were determined by the Compromise of 1850 with the panhandle in an inset ""Texas North of Red River"" at lower left. San Patricio occupies the south tip while Milam and Robertson are long counties that begin at the Nacogdoches-San Antonio road and arc to the northwest all the way to the Red River. The comment in the panhandle claims that the area ""as far as North Canadian Fork was explored by Le Grand in 1833, [and] it is naturally fertile, well wooded, and with a fair proportion of water"" is from Arrowsmith`s 1841 map. The impressive map of the west has Oregon extending to the Continental Divide, the huge Utah territory extending from California to Indian Territory, and New Mexico occupying all of the Southwest with a pre-Gadsden Purchase border. The double-page map of the United States features the same borders depicted in the western map, plus it has a large inset ""Gold Region of California."" The map of Minnesota features the large region of Pembina extending to the Missouri River. The frontispiece is a hand-colored, engraved diagram showing the lengths of rivers and heights of mountains. The title page includes a fine chromolithographic image titled ""First Landing of Columbus in the New World."" Folio. Hardbound, frontis, pictorial title page, table of contents, 74 hand-colored maps. Bound in original marbled paper with red leather tips and spine, and a red leather title label on front cover. This edition was published by Thomas, Cowperthwait & Co. who had purchased the copyright from Samuel Augustus Mitchell in 1850. The maps, in original color, are in overall very good to near fine condition with some light toning along the sheet edges. The maps of Maine and New Hampshire/Vermont have a small rust stain in the image and the Wisconsin and Minnesota maps are trimmed to the border as issued. Some minor chips along the sheet edges of the title page have been replaced with old paper, and the top right corner of the front endpaper has been removed. Covers and spine are moderately worn and bumped. 17.3 W x 14 H Thomas, Cowperthwait & Co., 1852

Statistical Atlas of the United States Based on the Results of the Ninth Census 1870 This large and important atlas is the first statistical atlas of the United States. It is complete with fifty-four plates, most double-page maps, providing a view of the physical, economic, and social geography of the United States. Most maps are colorful and thematic in nature including the desirable Geological Map of the United States by Hitchcock. Of special interest are the maps that show the population density for each decennial census from 1790 to 1870. Schwartz & Ehrenberg commend this atlas saying it was a ""pioneering work [and] was the first atlas of analytical maps that showed the patterns of associations and it greatly influenced the development of thematic mapping in the Untied States."" Francis A. Walker was the Superintendent of the Ninth Census and Professor of Political Economy and History in the Sheffield Scientific School at Yale College. Rebound in red cloth with original black pastedown with gilt title on spine. An important and desirable atlas in very good condition. Contents and maps are very good to near fine with some light toning along the sheet edges and some occasional faint spots of foxing.

Arbuckles` Illustrated Atlas of Fifty Principal Nations of the World A nice example of this unusual atlas that was designed to advertise Arbuckles Coffee. The atlas is printed on loose pages held together with original twisted string tie. This oblong 4to atlas has 12 sheets, each with four beautiful chromolithographic maps. The front pictorial wrapper has a map of Palestine plus the western hemisphere with numerous cherubs around the bottom. The rear wrapper has a map of Brazil plus a view of the Arbuckle`s factory and two finely dressed women enjoying Arbuckle`s coffee. Text on facing page describes the map. Beginning in the mid-1880`s, the Arbuckle Bros. Coffee Company began to include advertising cards, commonly referred to as ""trade cards"" in packages of their coffee. This was a common device used by companies of the time to tout the virtues of their products. But the Arbuckle company carried the concept a step further and created a series of very desirable images. They then encouraged their customers to collect the entire series of cards and to trade cards with their neighbors in order to complete their sets. Thus, ""trade"" cards began to evolve into ""trading"" cards. Arbuckles issued a great variety of cards including birds, animals, cooking, satire, sports and maps. The map series, U.S. States and Nations of the World, were extremely popular. Both series were reissued in album format, available from the company as a mail-order premium. These fascinating cards and albums are still actively collected today, more than 120 years after they were issued. The original Arbuckle Bros. Coffee Company, on the other hand, vanished from the scene over 60 years ago. The maps are very good to near fine with the first two sheets containing small edge tears that just enter the image at top. There is a minor extraneous crease along the upper left portion of all sheets, and both covers are heavily chipped with a portion of the back cover missing. The front cover is separated and the back cover is loosely attached with cello tape. 7 W x 11.2 H Arbuckle Bros. Coffee Co., 1889

The American Geography; or, a View of the Present Situation of the United States of America... With the folding maps: ""A Map of the Northern and Middle States; Comprehending the Western Territory and the British Dominions in North America from the Best Authorities;"" ""A Map of the States of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia; Comprehending the Spanish Provinces of East and West Florida;"" and ""A Map of Kentucky Drawn from Actual Observations."" Rebound in quarter faux leather over red marbled boards. Quarto, 642 pp. (deckled edges) with three folding maps. This is the John Stockdale edition published from London. Of particular interest is the rare Kentucky map which was first produced by Filson in 1784 and here republished in 1793. The map extends from the Ohio River in the north to the Cumberland River in the south and shows three counties: Fayette, Jefferson and Lincoln. It is filled with notations including ""a bloody battle fought here"" and ""the large Bones are found here"", settlements, the river system and topography. Includes an inset at top ""A Plan of the Rapids, in the River Ohio"" which was not on the 1784 edition. John Filson (1753 - 1788) was the first Historian of Kentucky. Moving from Pennsylvania about 1782, he settled in Lexington where he divided his time between teaching and surveying land claims. He wrote The Discovery, Settlement and Present State of Kentucke in 1784. In 1788, while on a surveying expedition near the Great Miami River, he disappeared when the party was attacked by Shawnee Indians. The second map, by Joseph Purcell, is an uncommon, early depiction of the Southeast and shows a well defined New State of Franklin, within the borders of North Carolina. In 1785, settlers in present-day western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee organized a state government to be named in honor of Benjamin Franklin. Congress turned down their appeal but the state maintained a legislature and governor until 1788. This ephemeral state appeared on a small number of maps into the early part of the 19th century. The map shows early settlements, including a Moravian Settlement in North Carolina, and the Cumberland Settlements in present-day Tennessee. The map also notes native tribes and various Bounty Land Grants lands along the upper Mississippi River. The third map of the Northern and Middle States describes the area from Maine (Province of Main), south to Virginia. Lesser detail extends west to the Great Lakes and the confluence of the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers, and north to eastern Canada up to James Bay. There are several Bounty Land Grants including Genl. Clarks, Donation Lands from the Commonwealth of Virginia, and Ohio Company in Ohio, and Wabash Company, New Jersey Company, and Illinois Company in Illinois. This is the first edition, with information taken from Amos Doolittle`s map of the same title. Condition code is for the maps which have moderate to heavy offsetting with numerous fold separations closed on verso with old paper and archival tape. Text is good with some light scattered foxing, and the top blank margin of the title page has been replaced with old paper. New binding is excellent. 11.5 W x 9.2 H Morse, Jedidiah (Rev.) 1794
