* Armstrong (Neil, born 1930). A folding lunar landings map, [published by Philip's], circa 1990, showing all six Apollo landing sites (11, 12, 14, 15, 16 & 17), clearly signed by Neil Armstrong in black fibre pen by Apollo 11 landing site on the edge of the Sea of Tranquility, visible image 63 x 63cm, framed and glazed, overall 85 x 85cm (Qty: 1)Provenance: David Murray Paterson MBE. David Paterson was active in public life meeting politicians, civil servants, business people and representatives of overseas governments. With a keen interest in the RAF in World War Two he compiled a list of signatures, photographs and other memorabilia from pilots who had flown in the Battle of Britain, as well as a number of the more famous names from the Luftwaffe. The Battle of Britain collection was flown in the Rolls-Royce Spitfire at Glasgow on the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, by the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight on the 60th anniversary, and a further flight on the 80th anniversary in 2020 is planned. The collections are now in the permanent ownership of Glasgow Kelvingrove Museum to which David Paterson donated them in 1990. David Paterson was helped to make the necessary contact with Neil Armstrong in 1990 and sent the map to him to be signed. Much to his delight and surprise the map was returned with Armstrong's signature on the landing spot. The map has been in David Paterson's possession ever since. A signed account and biography from David Paterson is included with the lot.

Manuscript map.

In wartime, he was replaced by the Capitano Generale da Mar, with more ample powers. The office usually had a tenure of three years, but in wartime, the nomination of a new Capitano Generale da Mar was usually accompanied also by the election of a new Provveditore Generale. From the first half of the 16th century, he also appears as the governor of the Venetian Ionian Islands. Eventually this appointment became regularized, as the Provveditore Generale del Levante; with his seat at Corfu, the Provveditore Generale da Mar was the senior civil and military governor of the Ionian Islands in peacetime. The office was abolished after the fall of the Republic of Venice and the start of French rule in the Ionian Islands in June 1797

Not in Bitting, Cagle, Oxford or Vicaire. Rare: ESTC traces one copy only of this or any other edition (US National Library of Medicine); OCLC adds a defective copy at Princeton (lacking the final leaf, N6); Copac locates one copy of a 1760 edition by Caslon, at Leeds. Honeywood's address to the reader (A2 recto) is dated May 1757, but the work is advertised as 'this day published', with the imprint of C. Henderson, in a 1756 number of the General Evening Post ; one copy of Henderson's edition is found in libraries (Lamar University, Texas), and one in auction records, in 2011; the present 1758 edition and all other such editions as may have appeared are untraced in commerce. Maclean's entry was based on a bookseller's catalogue (Birrell and Garnet) and she does not appear to have inspected a copy herself, citing none in the British Isles or North America, an occurrence only 'in a minority of cases' (p. xxiii); her reproduction of one of the woodcuts, at p. xi, is from the Leeds copy of the 1760 edition.
