The book appears to have been greatly expanded with blank pages, these were perhaps on the request of a geologist so that there was enough space for personal research notes and commentary? (1) CONDITION REPORT: The suede type binding is rubbed and with some marks to the back board. Small tear to the bottom of the spine and the other bottom corner with a repaired small tear. The top of the spine has a crack down the front fold and a repaired tear along the top edge (see images). Later end papers with original loose free end paper at both end of book retained - it would appear that the spine has been restored. Front map with some general wear at edge. Internally with some minor foxing but overall fairly clean. Folding plate at end with offsetting of the text to the end section, minimal offsetting of the map detail. This is linen backed.

Brunsuic et Lunenbburgentium a Consiliis elegantiarum insigni admiratori artiumq Sumo Merconati, Dno et Patrone. Suo colendmo. honoris et observa. ergo dicat consecrat author Caspar Augustinus, Erfurt, Augst. Klocker, 1639, uncoloured engraved circular travel 'blog', produced to illustrate the banker, diplomat and art agent Philipp Hainhofer's travel throughout Europe, old folds, slight creasing in margins, slight staining, 410 x 400 mm Phillip Hainhofer (1578-1647) of Augsburg was one of the most important cultural figures of his age, particularly known for his collection of Kunstkammer, or cabinets of curiosity. The map shows tables of distances for the various principal European towns, measuring the days travelled, with a miniature view of each destination. The towns covered are Antwerp, Trier, Amsterdam, Hamburg, Rostock, Dresden, Dantzig, Krakow, Olmtz, Vienna, Prag, Budapest (Neu-Ofen), Graz, Venice, Rome, Genoa, Bale, Lyon, Madrid, Paris, Turin and London.The four corners of the map are decorated with allegorical figures and various objects and symbols, most notable a tennis racket with balls in the lower right corner, and a croquet mallet with balls in the lower left. The centre of the map is a circular view of Augsburg, the home town and starting point of Hainhofer's travels. There is an edition of this 'map' with explanatory text below the map but this appears to have been printed from a separate block and is presumably a later or variant state. The large blank margin outside the platemark below the printed image on this example would allow for this additional information to be added. (1)

*Holy Roman Empire. Manuscript map, circa 1680, pen and watercolour on thick paper on two conjoined sheets, old folds strengthened to verso, 560 x 625 mm A dramatic early German manuscript map covering the Netherlands and France to Poland, the Czech Republic and Austria, Westphalia, Lower Saxony, Switzerland and Italy with the Gulf of Venice and Hungary. There is a small ribbon cartouche with a ten point legend identifying the various circles as well as the thirteen main cities in Europe although these are not identified on the map. It is possible that this was an educational map prepared for students of a military school which would explain the use of fortress symbols for the towns. The date is placed at around 1680 as Franche Comte is already part of France (1678). (1)

Containing Newfoundland, New Scotland, New England, New York, New Jersey, Pensilvania, Maryland, Viginia and Carolina, sold by H. Moll over aginst Deverux Court in the Strand, circa 1715, engraved map on two conjoined sheets, contemporary outline colouring with later enhancement, inset maps of Charleston Harbor, 'A map of the principal part of North America', The Carolinas with the English, French and Indian settlements and Louisiana and the Gulf of Mexico, as well as Moll's famous depiction of beavers busy at work at the base of Niagara Falls, old folds, some professional restoration to margins and folds on verso, 1015 x 615 mm R. V. Tooley. The Mapping of North America, 55, variant state. "One of the first and most important cartographic documents relating to the dispute between France and Great Britain over boundaries separating their respective American colonies. The map was the primary exponent of the British position during the period immediately following the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713" (Degrees of Latitude). The large vignette gives the map it's popular name, the 'Beaver Map'. This shows an early view of Niagara Falls, with a colony of beavers at work in the foreground. The fur from the beaver was an important component of the fur trade and coupled with its reputation as an industrious animal, was deemed an appropriate image to represent the nation as a whole. This issue has Moll's address as 'against Deverux Court in the Strand' an address he occupied from 1710 -1732 (Worms & Baynton Williams. British Map Engravers). The date on the inset map of Louisiana is 1712 and it retains the early imprint of 'Cherecies 3000 men' and the inset map of Carolina is not divided into parishes, thus corresponding to Tooley's first state.
