[On 2 Sheets] Carte des Declinaisons et Inclinaisons de l`Aiguille Aimantee Redigee d`Apres la Table des Observations Magnetiques Faites par les Voyageurs Depuis l`Annee 1775 . This chart, printed on two sheets, came from a series of 8 maps published in the scarce mineralogy section of Buffon`s Historie Naturelle. The variations in terrestrial magnetism at different points on the earth`s surface are indicated throughout the map, especially along the western coast of Africa and eastern coast of South America. Only the outlines of the continents are depicted along with a few place names. If joined together, the chart would measure 20.5 x 33.5"". Issued folding on heavy, watermarked paper with moderate offsetting and light scattered foxing. Please note that the blue hue in the image is caused by our scanner and not in the physical map. 21"" W x 16.7"" H . Buffon, Comte de . 1780

La Table de la Region Orientale, Comprenant les Dernieres Terres & Royaumes d`Asie . This map is based on the recent geographical discoveries by Portuguese navigators. The outline of the Asian mainland is relatively well-established, but Munster omits the extreme northeast of Asia, still believed to be joined to the New World. Japan is also lacking, as it appeared on Munster`s New World map instead. India appears as a peninsula and Sri Lanka, called Zaylon, is correctly located. Cambay, Goa and Cannonore are all shown, reflecting the Portuguese presence on India`s west coast, and this edition names Calicut, unlike the earlier examples of the map. Malacca is correctly located on the Malay Peninsula and the Indonesian island of Sumatra has inherited the name Taprobana from Sri Lanka, but also bears the name Sumatra. Java appears as two islands, Java Maior and Java Minor, shown north of the other. The famed Spice Islands of the Moluccas are located, but oddly shaped. An archipelago of 7448 islands lies off the eastern coastline of China, from the reports of Marco Polo. A huge sea monster and a fantastic two-tailed mermaid preside over the Indian Ocean. French text on verso. There are a couple of spots of soiling in the image and a 1/2"" tear just above the sea monster that has been professionally repaired. 13.6"" W x 10.2"" H . Munster, Sebastian . 1552

Lot 693

A Mapp of the Cape of Goodhope with Its True Situation . A striking map of the Cape of Good Hope showing an inventive inset of Table Bay at the lower left. The interior of the map is filled with elephants, a rhinoceros, lion, ostriches, snakes, and several other species. A road stretches from Table Bay to the interior. A dotted line between Table Bay and False Bay represents a proposed canal that was not undertaken, and a notation of Very Good Grounds refers to the land granted to the first free burgher on the Cape. The sea is filled with ships, and a compass rose orients north to the right of the map. The title is on a hide held by a group of natives while a lion stalks the foreground. The scale of miles cartouche is attended by a Dutchman and a young African with surveying equipment. A crisp impression on watermarked paper with some chips and edge tears in the blank margins, well away from image. 13.8"" W x 11"" H . Nieuhoff, Johann . 1703

Insets detail The Settled Portion of Western Australia and Van Diemens Land, and locate the counties, towns and cities, rivers, lakes, and mountains of these areas. Drawn and engraved by W. Hughes.

Johnson`s New Illustrated (Steel Plate) Family Atlas, with Physical Geography, and with Descriptions Geographical, Statistical, and Historical... This complete atlas contains 66 beautifully rendered, steel engraved maps, including 34 double-page maps. There are several thematic maps and diagrams interspersed throughout the text that display the geology, weather, tides, agriculture, flags and animal kingdoms of the world. This 1864 edition is the last year with steel engraved plates, with many of the maps featuring vignettes, and some retaining the early strap-work style borders. It also has the desirable edition of the New Military Map of the United States which shows all state and territory boundaries rather than the limits of military divisions. And it features the double-page Civil War map Vicinity of Richmond.The Southwest map is the late 1863 - early 1864 edition in this series of maps. Arizona still claims the Southern tip of Nevada and has the county configurations of the old New Mexico Territory, with the addition of Castle Dome and Ewell counties in the south. The Utah/Nevada border is now at 115°. This is a completely new plate with extensive revisions in the watershed and mountain detail and several of the earlier notations removed. But it retains the note in the area of Quartzite, Arizona calling the area ""exceedingly fertile and abundantly timbered and well watered."" The map details the U.S. Mail routes, the Emigrant roads to California, the proposed railroad route through Utah, Nevada and California, and the Pony Express trail. The double-page map of Texas shows county development mostly in eastern Texas and only the three large counties of El Paso, Presidio and Bexar in the west. The panhandle, noted as the Staked Plains (Elevated Table Land, without Wood or Water), includes a large section that is unorganized. There is nice depiction of the wagon roads, many named, with several completed railroads. The inset maps include a `Plan of Sabine Lake,` `Plan of the Northern part of Texas,` and `Plan of Galveston Bay.` The map of the Northwest shows the newly created territory of Idaho. The map of Minnesota shows the newly created region of Dakota with an undefined western boundary.Folio.

A few maps have tears or chips in the blank margins that do not enter the map image. The map of the West Indies has some stains in the image. The sheet of tissue that typically protects the frontispiece is missing. The front cover is nearly detached and the back hinge is starting. The covers and spine are stained and show moderate wear. 14.8"" W x 18.8"" H . Johnson & Ward, 1864
