Le litografie di Carl Lanzedelli hanno un forte carattere satirico. Una di esse, intitolata 'Illustrirte politische Karte von Östrerreich und den angrenzeden Ländern', mostra la mappa politica dell'Austria e degli stati limitrofi con le diverse reazioni all'indomani dei moti del 1848 (cfr.

The tables signed by Werner show battle scenes (Vicenza, Custoza and Milan), public demonstrations in favor of freedom, the opening of the constituent, barricades, parades, and parodistic scenes, including one on Hungary entitled Ungarns Zustand. The lithographs by Carl Lanzedelli have a strong satirical character. One of them, entitled 'Illustrirte politische Karte von Östrerreich und den angrenzeden Ländern', shows a political map of Austria and its neighboring states with the different reactions in the aftermath of the 1848 uprisings (cf. G. Ravy-J. Benay, a cura di, Satire-Parodie-Pamphlet-Caricature en Autriche à l'époque de François-Joseph 1848-1914, Rouen, 1999, 21).

Allegorical map. Ellis (J.), A new map of the Land of Matrimony drawn from the latest surveys, [published J. Johnson, 1772], hand coloured engraved map originally designed by Anna Laetitia Barbauld, old folds with slight wear causing small holes to image where folds cross, repaired and strengthened on verso, slight dust soiling, trimmed with loss of publication line below map, 265 x 330 mm The map shows how a potential 'traveller' who is sailing on the Ocean of Love can follow a track indicating "...., vessels bound to the Land of Matrimony." The 'ship' has to navigate past the Rocks of Jealousy and through the Straits of Uncertainty, while avoiding Danglers Island and Cape Shilly Shally. The far northern reaches of the map contain Henpeck Bay and the Dead Lake of Indifference, whilst the southern shores have Cuckolds point and Divorce Island. However if the true path is followed it leads to Brides Bay, with its Honeymoon Island, and the final journey past the Temple of Hymen and up the L'Amour River into the Land of Matrimony. A significant and scarce example of Georgian allegorical and matrimonial cartography. (1)

Australia. Gill (Macdonald), Australia. Her Natural and Industrial Resources, published Alf Cooke Ltd. Leeds and London, 1942, colour printed photo-lithographic pictorial map, old folds, very small holes worn where folds cross, 495 x 740 mm The poster was one of a series of three wartime maps by Gill, the others depicting New Zealand and Canada, distributed as propaganda to demonstrate the contribution of the Commonwealth countries to the Allied war effort. It is worth noting that, though Australia had long since achieved self governing status within the Commonwealth, the map largely reflects an imperial mindset: Aside from the note about its industrial resources, the country is shown primarily as a source of commodities needed for the war effort, with little attempt to depict its distinctive cultural, geographical or political characteristics.
