Silver, Thomas 1742 A View of the Town and Castle of St. Augustine, and the English Camp Before It June 20, 1740 This is a depiction of British General John Oglethorpe`s first unsuccessful expedition against the Spanish at St. Augustine. The bird`s-eye view depicts the Matanza River, the "castle", the North and South Channel and warships in the foreground. A lengthy key and explanatory notes fill the bottom third of map. General Oglethorpe was the founder of the American colony of Georgia, which was situated as a buffer colony between Spanish Florida and South Carolina.

Jansson, Jan 1638 Nova Hispania, et Nova Galicia Decorative map of the central and western coastal regions of Mexico, based on Ortelius. Mexico City is situated on a large lake below the elaborate title cartouche featuring the Royal Spanish Arms. Several gold and silver mines are located in the central region. A galleon and sea monster ornament the Pacific and armadillos walk across the scale of miles cartouche. This is a superlative example of Dutch cartography and a great example of the similarity between the work of Jansson and Blaeu. Here Jansson`s plate features a ship and sea monster with calligraphy in the Pacific, whereas Blaeu`s map lacks the calligraphy and embellished the area with two ships and a compass rose. Latin text on verso. 18.9" W x 13.7" H A dark impression on watermarked paper with old color. There is some printer`s ink residue, a couple of minor printer`s creases, and a few tiny abrasions. There are a few tears confined to blank margins, far from map.
Wytfliet, Cornelis 1598 Plata Americae Provincia This fascinating map is from the first printed atlas relating exclusively to America. The map provides graphic details of the Rio de la Plata and its tributaries based on early Spanish explorations in search for the Silver Mountain of the "White King" and the lost city of Los Cesares. Sebastian Cabot`s ill-fated settlement at "S. Espirito" is shown at the confluence of the Carcarana and Parana Rivers and Cabeza de Vaca`s settlement of "Assumption" (Asuncion) is located on the banks of the "Rio Lepeti". The settlement on the "R. de Buenos arres", first established in 1536, is not noted on this map as it had been abandoned after Indian attacks in 1539 and 1541. 11.4" W x 9.1" H Watermarked paper with attractive color, light offsetting and creasing along centerfold, and faint damp stains at far right and left.

It includes the Potosi silver mines, Titicaca, Cusco, Quito and numerous other towns and villages. The dramatic strapwork cartouche incorporates both the title and the distance scales. A large compass rose orients the map with north to the left. It is further decorated with four Spanish galleons and three sea monsters. This is one of the plates that Blaeu acquired from the widow of Jodocus Hondius in 1629. French text on verso. 19.4" W x 14.9" H Original color on bright, watermarked paper with wide margins. There are professional repairs to a short centerfold separation and to a small hole to the right of the compass rose.
Anon., 1480 [Illuminated Leaf] "This creamy vellum leaf is from an Italian book of hours, written in black, red and blue ink. One large initial on the verso is also decorated with pen work. The text is from Psalms 135 and 136. Beginning with the red initial “Q” in the middle of the leaf on the recto, the text reads: Quia iudicabit Dominus populum suum et in servis suis deprecabitur Simulacra gentium argentum et aurum opera manuum hominum Os habent et non loquentur oculos habent et non videbunt Aures habent et non audient neque enim est spiritus in ore eorum Similes illis fiant qui faciunt ea et omnes qui sperant in eis Domus Israel benedicite Domino domus Aaron benedicite Domino Domus Levi benedicite Domino qui timetis Dominum benedicite Domino Benedictus Dominus ex Sion qui habitat in Hierusalem This translates into English as: For the Lord will judge his people, and will be entreated in favour of his servants. The idols of the Gentiles are silver and gold, the works of men`s hands. They have a mouth, but they speak not: they have eyes, but they see not. They have ears, but they hear not: neither is there any breath in their mouths. Let them that make them be like to them: and every one that trusteth in them. Bless the Lord, O house of Israel: bless the Lord, O house of Aaron. Bless the Lord, O house of Levi: you that fear the Lord, bless the Lord. Blessed be the Lord out of Sion, who dwelleth in Jerusalem." 5.6" W x 7.9" H Marginal soiling with one minor abrasion in text at bottom of verso.
