River Euphrates. Chesny (Colonel Francis Rawson, surveyor), Twelve map sheets, 1849, twelve double-page maps, engraved by J & C Walker, slight spotting, old folds, backed with near-contemporary silk, each approximately 475 x 630 mmQTY: (12)NOTE:The Euphrates expedition was led by a British army officer, Colonel Francis Rawson Chesney. The main objective was to establish a route “between the Mediterranean Sea and His Majesty’s possessions in the East Indies by means of a steam communication of the river Euphrates”. Finding a shorter route to India was the hot topic of the time. The East India Company particularly, needed a solution to cut down the travel time between England and India. Chesney was involved in initial surveys in Egypt and the Middle East in the late 1820s where he had investigated the possibility of passage to India via the Red Sea and in 1829, submitted a report advocating the construction of the Suez Canal. He also brought to attention the feasibility of steam communication with India through the Euphrates. King William IV himself expressed a desire that the route by the Euphrates to India should be put to a practical test. The main task involved determining the depth, current and state of the river and this wealth of data was used in the compilation of detailed charts of the region’s waterways from the Mediterranean to the Persian Gulf.The Euphrates project was shelved and the shorter route to India was eventually established in late 1869 via the Suez Canal. Nevertheless, Chesney’s survey proved an invaluable source of information on the region’s hydrography.

World. Gill (Macdonald). The "Time and Tide" Map of the Atlantic Charter, George Philip and Son Ltd, 1944, large colour photolithographic map, slight creasing, old folds, some wear to folds on verso with very small splits and tears, 800 x 1095 mm.QTY: (1)NOTE:Gill's 'Time and Tide' map was commissioned by Time and Tide magazine. It never enjoyed a large circulation and is therefore one of the scarcest of Gill's pictorial maps. The map celebrates the joint declaration released by Churchill and Roosevelt in August 1941 after the Atlantic Conference. The Atlantic Charter was a gesture of solidarity at a moment when Nazi Germany had just turned against the USSR and looked all but invincible. In time the charter would form the basis for Allied war aims and the postwar foundation of the United Nations. Gill takes an optimistic view of the Charter and of the future. He shows a muscled worker taking a sledgehammer to tanks and munitions in the foreground, while in the distance is an idyllic scene of ploughing and reaping. A nod to the book of Isaiah and the turning of 'swords to ploughshares'. The map is adorned with quotes by Cicero, Emerson, Pope and Aristotle on the virtues of peace. Gill is probably best known for his 1913 'Wonderground map of London' and this map is still very much in the decorative and pictorial style that Gill became famous for.

Herschel (John & Darwin, Charles).

Charles Darwin contributed Section VI on 'Geology' (pp. 156-195). Other contributors included Richard Owen and William Hooker. This book, edited by Sir John Herschel, went through six editions, remaining in print until 1906. The first edition is found in three forms. In some copies there is a serious transposition of about two pages in the text of Darwin's article, although no matter is missing. This starts on page 178 at lines 2-4 which read 'Most bold coasts/are fronted by sharp promontories and even isolated/found by removing earth and birds' dung'. The transposition ends on page 180 where lines 2-3 read 'the now deeply submerged portions of the cliff have been/pinnacles:'. This transposition, of course, causes a third disjointed sentence at the point where the correct text begins again, on page 190 where lines 4-5 read 'these may be sometimes/simply worn away by the currents'. It would look as if the compositor had one sheet of the manuscript out of order. The correct text reads 'Most bold coasts/are fronted by sharp promontories and even isolated/pinnacles'; 'the now deeply submerged portions of the cliff have been/simply worn away by the currents' and 'these may be sometimes/found by removing earth and birds' dung'.
