A rare 1971 limited issue Corgi Toys Commer ¾ Ton “Hammonds” delivery van (462). Only available through this retail outlet the van is in their own period livery of dark blue, white and green with red interior with cast wheels. GC-VGC minor chips. See Plate 4. An Interesting Note: H.W. Hammond established his first business in North Bridge Hull in 1831, which was then taken over by “James Powell & Sons” in 1889. They built new premises in Paragon Square Hull, opening to the public in 1916. These premises survived until the 7th of May 1941 when a German raid reduced the building and surrounding area to rubble. Due to the scale of destruction it took until 1952 for a new modern store to finally reopen. “Hammonds Department Stores of Hull” traded on as an independent for a further 20 years when they were acquired by The House of Frazer Group in 1972. Many independents were swallowed up by this giant who in their wisdom re-named “Hammonds” “Binns”. After a dramatic fall in sales the new owners had to concede that this had been a mistake and reinstated the “Hammonds” name in 1989 costing the company some £40,000 for new signage, cloathing, stationary and vehicle re-sprays. The store is still in Paragon Square but today carries the “House Of Frazer” name.

Ptolemy/Fries, 1535 [Untitled - World] This is one of three world maps included in Fries` Ptolemaic atlas and one of the few early 16th century world maps available to collectors. This striking woodblock world map is a reduced-scale version of Waldseemuller`s Ptolemaic map of 1513, which was on the traditional modified conical projection. The area above 65 degrees north is noted as "Mare Congelatum" (Frozen Sea). The map is surrounded by 12 wind heads representing the classical winds blowing from each direction. This edition was printed by Melchoir and Gaspar Treschel and edited by Michael Villanovus (known as Servetus). Servetus was charged with heresy by John Calvin in 1553, in part due to the text in this atlas. The courts found him guilty and sentenced him to burning at the stake, atop a pyre of his own books, including this atlas. This 1535 edition is considered to be rarer than Fries` editions of 1522, 1525 and 1541. 18.2" W x 11.7" H Watermarked paper with wide margins, faint spots, and light toning along centerfold and sheet edges. There are a number of small worm holes that have been expertly infilled, with a small amount of image in facsimile.

Lot 18

Ritter, Franz 1610 [Untitled - World] "This scarce and extremely unusual map" shows the world projected from the North Pole as if it were the table of a sundial.

The map is filled with engravings of animals, sea monsters, ships, and a few bizarre characters, such as a pair of headless humans, and is surrounded by a floral border. This is the first state. 14.4" W x 11.6" H A fine impression on watermarked paper. Issued folding with one minute hole at a fold intersection. Binding trims in left blank margin have been replaced with old paper to accommodate framing. An excellent example.

Vandermaelen, Philippe Marie Guillaume 1825-27 [Lot of 2] Carte d`Assemblage de l`Amerique Septenle. [and] Amer. Sep. Partie de la Vieille Californie No. 58 "The “Atlas Universel” was the first atlas to present all the maps on the same scale (1:1,641,836) about one inch to 26 miles, with each map covering an area of approximately 20 degrees longitude (from Paris) and 6 degrees of latitude. It was also considered to be the first lithographic atlas ever published. The maps were meant to be joined together to form a huge globe measuring 7.775 meters in diameter. Only one edition of the atlas was published in 1825-27 and the subscription list shows that just 810 copies were sold, making these maps very scarce. A. “Carte d`Assemblage de l`Amerique Septenle.” (24.3 x 19.5”). This is the index map of North America, and this key sheet presents the major topographical features along with the locations of major Indian tribes. Alaska is shown in an inset. Condition: Original color with light centerfold toning and faint offsetting. B. “Amer. Sep. Partie de la Vieille Californie No. 58” (20.3 x 18.3”). Covers the Baja from Isle Redonda and the Mission de San Francisco Borja to La Paz. This was the first atlas map to provide such a fine level of detail in the Baja.

It is decorated with a rococo-style cartouche that includes a distance scale. The second, larger map stretches farther north to show Lake Mistassini, Quebec`s largest natural lake, and also includes a decorative title cartouche with the title and distance scale enclosed by elegant columns wrapped in flora.
