Tabula Geographica, in Qua Omnes Regiones, Urbes, Oppida, et Loca Describuntur, quorum mentio sit in Actis et Epistolis Apostolorum, et ApaocalypsiÂ… This superb, graphic map of the eastern Mediterranean, from Rome to Babylon, depicts the spread of Christianity as reported in the Acts of the Apostles. This is the final map of the standard set of five Holy Land maps normally found in Dutch Bibles. The map is surrounded by fifteen Biblical vignettes including the apostles receiving heavenly inspiration, and the events of the Apocalypse as in the book of Revelations. The map includes a small inset of the whole Mediterranean region and is further decorated with a compass rose, sailing ship and strapwork distance scale. This is the second state with Plancius` name in the cartouche replaced by D.R.M. Mathes. Dutch text on verso, from a Dutch Bible published by Cloppenburg. This is the second series of Dutch bible maps by Petrus Plancius, first published in 1604 by Johannes Cloppenburg. The first series consisted of a world map and 4 small maps of the Holy Land and Middle East, engraved by Johannes van Deutecum and his two sons, Johannes and Baptista. After Johannes van Deutecum (the younger) published a new set of maps in 1595, Plancius realized that his own maps required updating. He commissioned Baptista van Deutecum to engrave the second series, who also enlisted the assistance of engravers Daniel van Bremden and Pieter Bast. Plancius` second series retained the same world map and 6 larger, re-engraved maps of the Holy Land and Middle East. The purpose of the maps was to help explain the biblical texts, but Plancius decided to take the maps one step further by adding 15 biblical vignettes surrounding each map, thereby transforming each map into a work of art. Issued folding, now pressed with a 3"" tear adjacent to centerfold near bottom that has been professionally repaired. Remargined at both sides to accommodate framing. 11.3 W x 19.3 H Plancius/Cloppenburg, 1643
Arbuckles` Illustrated Atlas of Fifty Principal Nations of the World A nice example of this unusual atlas that was designed to advertise Arbuckles Coffee. The atlas is printed on loose pages held together with original twisted string tie. This oblong 4to atlas has 12 sheets, each with four beautiful chromolithographic maps. The front pictorial wrapper has a map of Palestine plus the western hemisphere with numerous cherubs around the bottom. The rear wrapper has a map of Brazil plus a view of the Arbuckle`s factory and two finely dressed women enjoying Arbuckle`s coffee. Text on facing page describes the map. Beginning in the mid-1880`s, the Arbuckle Bros. Coffee Company began to include advertising cards, commonly referred to as ""trade cards"" in packages of their coffee. This was a common device used by companies of the time to tout the virtues of their products. But the Arbuckle company carried the concept a step further and created a series of very desirable images. They then encouraged their customers to collect the entire series of cards and to trade cards with their neighbors in order to complete their sets. Thus, ""trade"" cards began to evolve into ""trading"" cards. Arbuckles issued a great variety of cards including birds, animals, cooking, satire, sports and maps. The map series, U.S. States and Nations of the World, were extremely popular. Both series were reissued in album format, available from the company as a mail-order premium. These fascinating cards and albums are still actively collected today, more than 120 years after they were issued. The original Arbuckle Bros. Coffee Company, on the other hand, vanished from the scene over 60 years ago. The maps are very good to near fine with the first two sheets containing small edge tears that just enter the image at top. There is a minor extraneous crease along the upper left portion of all sheets, and both covers are heavily chipped with a portion of the back cover missing. The front cover is separated and the back cover is loosely attached with cello tape. 7 W x 11.2 H Arbuckle Bros. Coffee Co., 1889

DU MAURIER DAPHNE: (1907-1989) British Author. T.L.S., Daphne, four pages, 8vo, Menabilly, Par, Cornwall, 25th November 1966, to 'My dear' (Foy Quiller-Couch). Du Maurier writes of some repairs being carried out at her home, Kilmarth, commenting 'there is scaffolding all around it, and men hurrying about like ants all over the property - at my expense, of course! My lawyer said we must start on repairs, whether I end up there or not, so a Mr. Pascoe from St. Austell has been engaged to do the work with a team of minions. He is semi-royal, what I mean is I shake hands with him, but he seems to be shy, for whenever I drive up there to see what is going on he backs into the bushes, and two weeks ago nearly fell to his doom down a well in the garden that nobody knew was there' and further writes of the garden and the help of a gentleman from the National Trust, 'I call him U Thant - for he is a sort of mediator between me and the Estate, and wants to save my purse at every step. I wish a leaseholder, as I am, could enter some agreement or covenant with them, but I doubt if I can.' Du Maurier also refers to her work, 'Kits and I are trying to make a film script out of Vanishing Cornwall, so that he could make a documentary film, in colour, out of the book, and if we can get some assurance from a film company or a television company, to back us, he will come down in January and we shall proceed to film it….I imagine the filming would take about a month, or even more, depending a lot on the weather…' A couple of light, small tape stains to the head of the first and final pages, only slightly affecting two words of text, and not the signature, otherwise VG Foy Quiller-Couch - daughter of British writer Arthur Quiller-Couch (1863-1944), and a life-long friend of Du Maurier. Indeed, Du Maurier was accompanied by Foy Quiller-Couch when she became inspired with the storyline for her novel Jamaica Inn. Some years previously the two ladies were staying at Jamaica Inn and went riding on Bodmin Moor. They became lost in bad weather conditions and apparently sheltered for some time in a derelict cottage on the moor but were eventually led back to Jamaica Inn by their horses.
GEORGE V: (1865-1936) King of the United Kingdom 1910-36. A.L.S., George P, as Prince of Wales, two pages, 8vo, Frogmore House, Windsor, 2nd June 1909, to 'My dear Sandhurst'.

I trust that this step may bring you both much happiness' and concludes 'Having known you for so many years I am naturally interested in anything that concerns your happiness'. With blank integral leaf. VG William Mansfield, 1st Viscount Sandhurst (1855-1921) British Politician, Lord Chamberlain of the Household 1912-21.
