Brown Pelican Pelecanus Fuscus . This original chromolithograph is Plate 423 from the double-elephant folio Bien edition of Audubon’s great work on American ornithology. Audubon traveled throughout the U.S. and recorded 435 life-size images of every native bird in the country, depicting them in natural poses in their native habitats. This handsome engraving depicts a male adult Brown Pelican sitting on the branch of a Red Mangrove. Audubon reportedly painted this specimen while in the Florida Keys in the spring of 1832. Along with the American Flamingo, Snowy Owl, American Swan, and Wild Turkey, the Brown Pelican is one of the most desirable of Audubon`s birds. The full sheet measures 25.25 x 39"". Julius Bien was among the pioneers in developing chromolithography (an early form of color printing) in the United States. The Bien edition was initiated by John Woodhouse Audubon, the younger of the two Audubon sons. Originally conceived to be a full reissue of the 435 images in 44 parts consisting of ten images each, the project was discontinued in 1860 after only 15 parts had been issued. As a result, these plates are even rarer than the first Birds of America edition. Very attractive color with several soft creases that have been professionally reinforced and are now barely visible. Only three of the creases enter the image - one just touching the pelican`s head and the other two just touching leaves at top left and bottom right. Professionally backed in Japanese tissue. 24.6"" W x 36.7"" H . Audubon, J. J. 1860

[Lot of 5 - Flowers] . Five superb engravings from this scarce and important English botanical book. Scottish botanist Philip Miller (1691-1771) was curator at the Chelsea Physic Garden - the nucleus of the Royal Botanic Gardens. Miller employed the best botanical artists and engravers of the day to provide these illustrations as an accompaniment to the Gardener`s Dictionary. All of the flowers in this lot were engraved by Thomas Jefferys. By the time Miller died, he had named more than five thousand species under cultivation. He was also the first to conduct experiments showing that insects aid in flower pollination. These engravings are unusual for their printing method, in which tinted inks were used (rather than just the standard black ink), and then they were finished with hand-coloring. This method gives the illustrations a particularly rich tone. These large 18th century botanical engravings are now quite scarce as they were produced in limited numbers. This lot includes:A. Plate XXIII. Amaryllis Spatha Multiflora Corollis Campanulatis Marginibus Reflexis Genitalibus Declinatis.B. Plate XXXV. Anonis Viscosa Spinis Carens Lutea Major C.B.P.. C. Plate XXXI. Anemone Tenuifolia Multiplex Mutata Florum Facie Quotannis Nova H.R. Par.D. Plate XXIV. Amaryllis Spatha Multiflora Corollis Campanulatis Aequalibus Genitalibus Declinatis....E. Plate XXI. Amaranthoides Lychnidis Folio Capitulis Purpureis Majoribus / Amaranthoides Lychnidis Folio Capitulis Argenteis Majoribus.... Lovely examples with very minor marginal soiling. 10"" W x 16.7"" H . Miller, Philip . 1755

[Lot of 2] Cosmographia [with] Charta Cosmographica, cum Ventorum Propria Natura & Operatione . Included with this Latin edition of Apianus` popular Cosmographia is a very interesting world map based on the now lost world map of Gemma Frisius, which is significant in the history of the mapping of America. The continents are broadly based on Mercator`s globe gores of 1541, but North America is shown as a long slender landmass labeled Baccalearium in reference to the cod fishing region off the coasts of New England and Canada. It employs a cordiform projection and depicts a distinct northern passage to Asia over the top of North America. There are few geographical features other than the prominent twin lake sources of the Nile in Africa. The heart-shaped border of the map contains signs of the zodiac within a cloud background filled with mythical figures and wind heads. One of the deities at top sports the design of the Holy Roman Emperor`s double eagle on his breastplate and the three cadaverous wind heads at bottom represent plague-carrying winds of the south. This is an example from the second of three woodblocks, issued with Latin and Dutch text. The world map is not attached to the book, and actually comes from a different example of the Cosmographia, as it is printed on a slightly larger sheet.The Cosmographia of Petrus Apianus was one of the most popular books on cosmography ever published. It covers a multitude of subjects including the climatic zones, the uses of parallels and meridians, the determination of latitude and longitude, map projections, etc. One of the reasons it was enormously popular is the inclusion of volvelles that enabled one to solve practical mathematical problems relating to time telling, the calendar, astronomy and astrology. There are four (of five) of these ingenious paper devices included, and numerous other interesting diagrams and illustrations. The movable parts of the volvelle Aux Solis are missing. In addition to the world map, there is also a small map of Greece, and one of the volvelles is constructed on a map of the northern hemisphere. This edition, corrected and augmented by geographer and mathematician Gemma Frisius, contains Gemma`s important treatise on triangulation, which first appeared in 1533. The treatise was the first instance of triangulation being proposed as a means of locating and mapping places. 8vo, in full vellum covers. The map is a nice impression on watermarked paper with original margins, a tiny centerfold separation in top blank margin, and a few faint spots of foxing. One of the nicer examples we`ve seen, with only a centerfold rather than the typical multi-folded examples found in most Cosmographia. The text is mildly toned, with folio text pages 46-48 missing. The four volvelles are in excellent working condition. The covers and spine are lightly toned and soiled. 6"" W x 8.9"" H . Apianus, Peter Bienewitz . 1564

Colton`s Illustrated Cabinet Atlas and Descriptive Geography . This is a nice and complete example of this increasingly difficult to find atlas. It is filled with some of Colton`s most beautifully engraved maps. Each features the delicate floral-style border not seen in any other atlas produced by the Colton family. The frontispiece is a fine steel engraving showing a beautiful woman with a globe. The maps are by G. Woolworth Colton and the extensive text is by Richard Swainson Fisher. This edition includes 113 colored maps on 47 sheets. There are 18 sheets related to the United States and North America, with the map of the United States featuring early borders and oversized territories. The map Oregon, Washington, California, Utah & New Mexico is after the earlier map of the same area by Mitchell as published by Thomas & Cowperthwaite. To the south of New Mexico Territory is a small Arizona Territory, a precursor to the Confederate Territory of Arizona. Folio, original full leather with maroon embossed boards and gilt titling. Attractive A.E.G. 400 pages, frontispiece, 2 title pages, table of contents, list of maps and plans, text with wood-engraved vignettes, maps, and index. Several of these maps appear in no other publication. The maps are very good to near fine with occasional light scattered foxing. The map of India is moderately toned. The frontispiece is chipped along the top edge of the sheet with a small damp stain along the gutter. The hinges are starting and have been reinforced with hinge tape. Front cover has a small chip in ""Colton"", otherwise light wear with edges bumped. 12.5"" W x 15"" H . Colton, Joseph Hutchins . 1859

Mitchell`s New General Atlas, Containing Maps of the Various Countries of the World, Plans of Cities, etc. Embraced in Forty-Seven Quarto Maps, Forming a Series of Seventy-Six Maps and Plans, Together with Valuable Statistical Tables . This complete example of Mitchell`s world atlas was produced during the first year of the Civil War. It is complete with 77 maps and plans on 48 sheets (inclusive of an unnumbered Plan of New Orleans not in the table of contents), each surrounded by Mitchell`s signature floral border. There are 23 map sheets related to the United States including 31 individual states and territories, regions and city plans. There are two world maps - one hemispheric and the other drawn on Mercator`s Projection.The map of Texas shows county development to 100° longitude with the large regions of El Paso, Presidio and Bexar Territory further west. The Staked Plain is now called Young Territory. The map of the United States depicts the Confederate Territory of Arizona, Nebraska with a long panhandle, and Washington Territory in its inverted ""L"" shape. The Pony Express route is depicted as are numerous exploration routes, important trails including the Santa Fe, the Overland Mail Route to California, wagon roads and early railroads. This 1861 edition did not include a separate map of the southwest, however on the U.S. map the southern tip of Nevada is contained as part of New Mexico Territory, and Utah encroaches a full degree into Nevada. Includes full-page plans of the cities of Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, New Orleans and Cincinnati. All maps carry the 1860 copyright date. Hardbound small folio, publisher`s quarter calf with tips over cloth covered boards, stamped title on front cover. Title page, list of maps, and maps and plans are followed by 26 pages of text: List of Post Offices in the United States, Table of Population, Governments. &C., Mountains of the World, and Rivers of the World. Condition code is for the maps which are generally clean and bright with some occasional light soiling or spot of foxing confined to the blank margins. There is a small damp stain in the lower right blank margin of the title page, list of maps, and hemispheric map. The text pages are lightly foxed. Signatures are partially loose, while the covers and spine are rubbed and stained. 13"" W x 16"" H . Mitchell, Samuel Augustus . 1861

Johnson`s New Illustrated (Steel Plate) Family Atlas, with Physical Geography, and with Descriptions Geographical, Statistical, and Historical... This complete atlas contains 66 beautifully rendered, steel engraved maps, including 34 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. This 1864 edition is the last year with steel engraved plates, with many of the maps featuring vignettes, and some retaining the early strap-work style borders. It also has the desirable edition of the New Military Map of the United States which shows all state and territory boundaries rather than the limits of military divisions. And it features the double-page Civil War map Vicinity of Richmond.The Southwest map is the late 1863 - early 1864 edition in this series of maps. Arizona still claims the Southern tip of Nevada and has the county configurations of the old New Mexico Territory, with the addition of Castle Dome and Ewell counties in the south. The Utah/Nevada border is now at 115°. This is a completely new plate with extensive revisions in the watershed and mountain detail and several of the earlier notations removed. But it retains the note in the area of Quartzite, Arizona calling the area ""exceedingly fertile and abundantly timbered and well watered."" The map 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. The double-page map of Texas shows county development mostly in eastern Texas and only the three large counties of El Paso, Presidio and Bexar in the west. The panhandle, noted as the Staked Plains (Elevated Table Land, 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 include a `Plan of Sabine Lake,` `Plan of the Northern part of Texas,` and `Plan of Galveston Bay.` The map of the Northwest shows the newly created territory of Idaho. The map of Minnesota shows the newly created region of Dakota with an undefined western boundary.Folio. Hardbound in original quarter leather with tips and green cloth, embossed covers with gilt titles on cover and spine, marbled end papers. The maps are all very good with a few occasional spots of foxing and a damp stain in the bottom right corner that only enters the border of about a quarter of the maps. A few maps have tears or chips in the blank margins that do not enter the map image. The map of the West Indies has some stains in the image. The sheet of tissue that typically protects the frontispiece is missing. The front cover is nearly detached and the back hinge is starting. The covers and spine are stained and show moderate wear. 14.8"" W x 18.8"" H . Johnson & Ward, 1864

Mitchell`s New General Atlas, Containing Maps of the Various Countries of the World, Plans of Cities, etc. Embraced in Ninety-Three Quarto Maps... This is a very nice and complete example of this atlas which contains 147 maps and plans, most surrounded by a grapevine border and dated 1880. More than 50 maps are related to the United States with individual states, regions and city plans. There are several double-page maps with a few single-sheet maps printed on the verso. This example includes a charming Map of the Original Thirteen Colonies that has engraved examples of the ""first money coined by the United States."" Other maps of interest include County Map of Arizona and New Mexico, Map of Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Part of Montana, and a fine maps of California and Texas. Also included is a spectacular double-page plan of Chicago and a foldout map of Africa by John Arrowsmith. Hardbound in original brown cloth with quarter calf spine and tips and gilt title on front.

The map of Mexico has an edge tear at bottom that extends 1"" into the image, the folding map of Africa has two edge tears at left that extend 1"" and 2"" respectively into the image, and the plan of Chicago has centerfold separations at top and bottom that enter 2"" and 5"" into the image respectively. The hinges are starting, and covers and spine rubbed. 12.8"" W x 15.7"" H . Mitchell, Samuel Augustus . 1880
