Murder Map. Radclyffe (W & T), Map of the Roads, near the spot where Mary Ashford was Murdered, Surveyed by Rowland Hill & George Moorcroft and published by Rowland Hunter, 1817, engraved broadside map with two insets, one of the 'Fields on an Enlarged Scale', the other 'A Section of the Pit', descriptive text below the map, old folds, slight staining, some marginal fraying closed tears, some tears crudely repaired on the verso, 440 x 370 mmQTY: (1)NOTE:Rare. Only two copies were found on COPAC (both in the British Library). The only known published map by Rowland Hill, the founder of the 'Penny Post'. A murder of a pretty young girl had taken place near his school, at Erdington, a few miles northeast of Birmingham. The circumstances had produced much newspaper coverage but no adequate map to inform the public of the all-important topographical context. Hill measured all the features that had been mentioned in the trial and produced the above map.Mary Ashford had gone dancing on the evening of 26 May at the ominously named Tyburn House (right of centre on Hill's map). There she met Abraham Thornton, the son of a local landowner, and left the dance in his company. Her battered body was discovered the following morning in the pit (shown in cross-section as an inset on the map). A post-mortem showed that she had been raped and that she had been a virgin. Thornton was immediately arrested and charged with Mary's murder. At his trial, several witnesses testified that they had seen Thorton walking along another road at the time of the murder and the prosecution had no witnesses to counter these testimonies. The jury acquitted him; however, local and national opinion regarded Thornton as the murderer and an old law was dug up to see him face justice again. It was the ancient custom of “appeal of murder,” which was evoked by Mary’s brother, William and Thornton once again found himself arrested. However, this old law of “appeal of murder” meant that, instead of a trial in front of a jury, Thornton would face a “trial by combat.” Thornton was by all accounts a large solidly built man, whereas William was small and slight and understandably, declined to fight, and Thornton was released again. Thornton was widely regarded by the general public as guilty, and in the face of increasing harassment, he left England and settled in America. The only positive to come out of the case was that parliament almost immediately abolished the law which allowed 'trial by combat' for the 'appeal of murder'.

It took place in early October 1939 and was carried out by planes of RAF10 Squadron. The raid was promoted as a sign of Germany's weak air defences and its vulnerability to attack. The R. A.

In the lower right corner are caricatures of Hitler, Goebbels and Goering, shaking impotent fists at the sky whilst Von Ribbentrop cowers beneath a table.

The Printed Maps of Devon. Henry Overton/Jan Jansson, state 2. John Overton (1640-1713) and his son, Henry, produced a number of atlases and maps from 1665 to 1755. They never possessed a complete set of county map plates and made up their atlases in the early Dutch tradition by using the prints of other publishers, notably the maps of Blaeu and Jansson. Only when these were not available did they arrange for a plate of their own to be produced.John Overton published his 1685 atlas with a very close copy of the Jansson map of Devon. The easiest way to distinguish it from the earlier Jansson plate is the absence of the hyphen between 'Devon' and 'Shire' in the title cartouche. In 1707, John Overton sold his stock to his son, Henry, who revised the map of Devon for the 1713 issue, replacing the Jansson imprint with his own and the date 1713.

Located in Sindh, Pakistan, it is one of the earliest known large cities, founded in the 26th century BCE. Marshall's 'announcement in 1924 that he had there found a new civilization of the third millennium marked an epoch in modern discovery; the so-called Indus valley civilization is now recognized as the most extensive civilization of the preclassical world' (ODNB). His 'mass excavation of large areas at Mohenjo-daro . published in 1931, showed a great city, dating from before and after 2000 BC, planned and drained on a vast scale and in a regimented fashion, with wide thoroughfares and closely built houses and workshops. Detail was lost; but, like Schliemann before him, Marshall got to the heart of the matter and gave what was needed first in the current state of knowledge, namely the general shape, the sketch, of a hitherto unknown civilization. He was a pioneer of a high order' (Ibid).

British Isles.

V. Tooley. Early Printed Maps of the British Isles, number 60a. The second state of this map with 'Mare Hisranicum' corrected to 'Mare Hispanicum'. Rare.Ashley Baynton Williams: The reason that Lafreri's name is now used as an umbrella term for the school is because he issued a catalogue of his stock in 1572, entitled 'Indice Delle Tavole Moderne Di Geografia Della Maggior Parte Del Mondo ...'. This catalogue is very similar, both in title and contents, to bound collections of maps with an engraved title Tavole Moderne Di Geografia De La Maggior Parte Del Mondo Di Diversi Autori. Accordingly bound collections with the engraved title were attributed to Lafreri, and thence his name became associated with the group as a whole. Some writers have attributed the title to Duchetti, but there seems no good reason to challenge Lafreri's role.

Edward Angelo Goodall, RWS, British 1819-1908- Chiuso Fishing Boat at Venice; pencil and watercolour heightened with white on paper, inscribed and dated 'Chiuso Fishing Boat / at Venice Sep 21-1843' (upper right), 22.8 x 35.8 cm. Provenance: with Thomas Agnew & Sons, London, no.30581. Private Collection, UK. Exhibited: London, Thomas Agnew & Sons, no.201. Note: Goodall was a member of a prominent family of artists, including his brothers Frederick Goodall (1822-1904) and Walter Goodall (1830-1889). In 1841, he was sent on an expedition by the Prussian Government to map the boundaries of British Guiana, with his sketches of indigenous people, landscape, and animals now held at the British Library in London. In 1854 he was appointed war artist for the 'London Illustrated News', recording the conflict in Crimea, after which he travelled widely around Europe, visiting Venice 15 times. The present work originates from one of these trips, and demonstrates his ability to capture the scenes around him with an effective sense of immediacy and presence.
