Abert, of his Examination of New Mexico, in the Years 1846-47), Abert & Peck, HR. Ex. Doc. 41, 30th Congress, 1st Session, Washington D.C., 1846-47. 19.5 x 25”. (BW) During the War with Mexico, Lieutenants Abert and Peck were enroute to the Pacific with Lieut. Emory as part of General Kearny`s Army of the West, but the two were left behind due to illness. They took the opportunity to continue their survey efforts earlier started on Fremont`s third expedition. The resulting map is a very detailed look at the Rio Grande Valley and some adjacent areas including the pueblos of Laguna and Acoma. This important map, illustrated in Wheat, is roughly centered on Santa Fe. It details the territory along the Rio Grande from above Taos south to well below Socorro and San Antonio to the ruins at Valverde. Excellent detail of the topography and watershed to either side of the river with the mountains shown via hachure. Filled with place names including numerous villages and small towns, and the Comanche Route from Arkansas. Blank areas to the west and north are labeled Navajo Indians and Utah Indians. This map was issued with Emory`s Notes of a Military Reconnaissance in 1848. 10,000 copies were produced for this House of Representatives edition. This lot includes the unbound Abert`s report which includes 24 plates. Unbound, title page, pages 417 - 548, 24 plates, 7.3 X 4.3" The plates include: Santa Fe; O-CUM-WHO-WUST; Old Bark`s Son AH-MAH-NAH-CO and Squaw; Las Cumbres Espanolas; San Miguel; Ruins of Pecos; The Gold Mountains near Tuerto; Fort Marcy and the Parraquia - Santa Fe; San Felippe; Pueblo de Santo Domingo; Pueblo de Santa Ana; Moquino; Acoma, No. 1; Acoma, No. 2; Acoma, No. 3; View near Rito; El Canon Inferno; Ruins of Abo; Bosque de Apache; Valverde, and four more.

Lot 327
United States & Mexico (Etats-Unis Region des Territoires), Dufour, Paris, ca. 1858. 10 x 12”. (HC) This is an interesting French map of the western territories depicting several incorrect boundaries, suggesting an older map than we have here. Nouveau Mexique is shown with the approximate boundaries of the old Spanish territory. The huge Utah Territory encompasses all of present day Nevada, Utah, Arizona and parts of Colorado and New Mexico. Its boundary with California lies along the Sierra Nevada range. A small settlement of Arizona lies in the southern portion near the Mexican border. Nebraska Territory occupies the region between the Platte River and Canada, and from the Rocky Mountains to the Missouri River. Kansas Territory takes in present day Kansas, Nebraska and part of Colorado. The map shows the Gadsden Purchase boundary between the U.S. and Mexico. This map also notes a large German colony in the area of Fredericksburg, in central Texas. Fredericksburg was founded by German immigrants under the auspices of the Society for the Protection of German Immigrants in Texas. In 1846 John O. Meusebach led 120 fellow Germans into the area between the banks of the Llano and Colorado Rivers. Meusebach named the colony for Prince Frederick of Prussia. Beneath this colony is located a French colony. Both colonies are rarely seen on maps. An unusual map with some interesting territorial borders. There is one tiny spot in the upper neatline and some minor foxing confined to the blank margins. (A)
Lot 378
Northern South America (Carta del Corso del Maragnone O sia del gran Fiume Dell` Amazzoni…), Rossi, Gazzettiere Americano, Rome, 1763. 12.5 x 8.5”. (BW) This interesting map of the Amazon region is based on astronomical observations conducted by Charles-Marie de La Condamine, a French explorer, geographer, and mathematician. After traveling to Ecuador in 1735 to test Isaac Newton`s hypothesis that the Earth was not a perfect sphere, La Condamine was unable to travel back to France directly due to insufficient funds. Instead, he traveled eastward down the Amazon River from 1743-44, and performed the first scientific exploration of the great river. This map depicts the Amazon River from its mouth in the Atlantic west to its tributaries in Colombia, Peru and Ecuador, with La Condamine`s route depicted with dotted lines. Issued folding. A fine impression with wide margins and just a hint of toning along centerfold. (A)

Augmentee et Corrigee Suivant les Dernieres Relations), Sanson/Mariette, Cartes Generales de Toutes les Parties du Monde…, Paris, 1656. 21.1 x 16”. (HC) This map of present-day Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana, and part of Brazil depicts several conjectural lakes and rivers. The mythical Lac Parime is prominently shown in a rectangular shape, with the fabled Manoa o el Dorado (City of Gold) on its western shore. The Orinoco River flows in a southern, rather than western, direction and connects to another conjectural lake, Cassipa Lacus. The map extends to include Trinidad, Tobago, and Isla de Margarita in the north and the mouth of the Amazon River in the south. A large, decorative cartouche fills the otherwise blank ocean. Ref: Pastoureau, Sanson V-A [92]. Original outline color on watermarked paper with light toning along centerfold and a spot of printer`s ink residue at bottom left. (+B)
Lot 399

The mythical Lago de los Xarayes is featured on the map, which was believed to connect the Rio de la Plata and Amazon River systems. Several towns are named including R. Ianeiro, S. Paulo, Buenos Ayres, Corduba, Medoca, Arica, Potosi and Cusco. A large decorative title cartouche incorporates the distance scales, while a smaller cartouche features an armillary sphere. A fine, large compass rose with fleur-de-lys also adorns the sheet. Dutch text on verso.

Lot 877
Medieval Manuscripts ([Illuminated Leaf]), Anon., ca. 1460. 4.8 x 6.3”. (HC) A very pretty leaf from a Parisian Book of Hours, written on a fine sheet of buttery, white vellum in black ink. Both sides of the leaf are decorated with initials and line fillers illuminated in red, blue, white and burnished gold leaf, as well as decorative panels painted with gold leaves on hairline stems with colorful flowers and fruits. Among the smaller initials are three X`s, which are quite rare, and three of the line fillers are flowers. The text on recto begins: Agnus dei qui tollis peccata mundi exaudi nos domine. Agnus dei qui tollis peccata mu[n]di miserere nobis. Xriste audi nos. Xriste exaudi nos. Kyrie eleison. Xriste eleison. This translates as: Lamb of God that takest away the sins of the world, hear us graciously, O Lord. Lamb of God that takest away the sins of the world, have mercy upon us. Christ, hear us. Christ, graciously hear us. Lord, have mercy upon us. Christ, have mercy upon us. Marginal soiling and one minute worm hole only visible when held to light. (A)

Lot 890
Early Printing ([Illuminated Leaf]), Hardouin, Paris, ca. 1518. 4.5 x 7.3”. (HC) This leaf is from a Book of Hours printed on vellum by Gilles Hardouin for Germain Hardouin librayre demourant entre les deux portes du Palays en l’enseigne Saincte Marguerite (bookseller living between the two gates of the Palace at the sign of Saint Marguerite) of Paris. This leaf is from the transitional period when the new technology of printing with movable type was combined with the more labor intensive methods of hand painting. Illuminated manuscript books of hours were costly to make, and early printers realized the commercial value in printing larger quantities of illustrated books of hours at a lower cost. These printers tried to make their books of hours appear as similar to the manuscript books as possible, even going so far as to mimic the red lines scribes used to keep their text uniform. This exquisitely crafted vellum leaf is highlighted by illuminated capitals painted in red, blue and liquid gold. Starting from the third line on the recto, the text translates as: Thou, O Lord, wilt open my lips. And my mouth shall declare thy praise. Incline unto my aid, O God. O Lord, make haste to help me. Glory be to the Father. (+A)
