World ([World and Horological Diagrams]), Ritter, Speculum Solis…, [1607]. 13.3 x 11”. (BW) A rare and extremely unusual map shows the world projected from the North Pole as if it were the table of a sundial. The landmasses are drawn to scale in proportion to their distance from the pole. The result is a very distorted, though mathematically correct, projection. Ten horological diagrams surround the central map and all are enclosed in a decorative border. The plate was designed for Ritter`s first edition of the Speculum Solis in 1607, and is a synopsis of all the plates that appear in his later editions. Ref: cf Shirley no.270. Watermarked paper with a few minute tears that have been professionally closed on verso. Also professionally remargined. (A)
Ancient World (Tabula Itineraria ex Illustri Peutingerorum Bibliotheca…), Jansson, Amsterdam, ca. 1650. 159.3 x 7.3”. (HC) This impressive long map is the famous Peutinger Table, or a Roman road map of the world. The original parchment document was found by Konrad Celtes in a library in Augsburg, came into the hands of Konrad Peutinger and later went to his relative Mark Welser who was the first to publish a copy of it in 1591 at Aldus Manutius in Venice. This map, based on the original manuscript, was first popularized by Ortelius in 1598 and became an important part of his great historical atlas. Jansson`s version is nearly identical to that of Ortelius. This decorative strip map depicts the imperial roads and posts within the Roman Empire throughout Europe, North Africa and Asia as far as Toprobana (Sri Lanka). Printed on 8 sheets, now joined. Ref: Shirley no.393. Issued folding, with some minor fold separations that have been archivally repaired. (A)
Colonial United States and Canada (A General Map of North America from the Latest Observations), Lodge, The North American Gazzetteer, London, [1778]. 15 x 10.8”. (BW) An interesting map showing the British view of their colonies at the outbreak of the American Revolution. Based on the cartography of Thomas Jefferys, the map covers from James Bay to the Gulf of Mexico and provides many details about the frontier wilderness, including numerous early forts, Indian villages and tribal territories. The mythical islands in Lake Superior are a hold-over from earlier French cartographers. The large triangular table at the lower right provides distances between major cities and forts. Shows Earl Granville`s Property in North Carolina extending beyond the Mississippi River. Ref: McCorkle no.776.15; Sellers & Van Ee no.160. There is faint toning and a few tiny tears along centerfold, along with a few minor spots and abrasions. (B)
United States (Vereinigte Staaten von Nordamerika), Flemming, ca. 1854. 27 x 20.5”. (HC) This large, detailed map of the United States extends to include part of Canada and Mexico, although information is focused on the United States. The map provided an excellent view of the American West with five large territories encompassing almost the entire west, shown to be mostly the domain of numerous Indian nations. Minosotah Territory takes in the Dakotas with Missouri Territory stretching to the Rocky Mountains. Indian Territory encompasses present day Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska. West of the Rockies are the state of California and the territories of New Mexico, Utah and Oregon, which encompasses present-day Washington, Idaho and Oregon. The border with Mexico is shown along the Gila River, pre Gadsden Purchase. The map depicts towns, missions, forts, railroads, and canals, and includes a list of the highest mountain peaks. A table lists the states and territories, with populations in 1840, number of counties, and size. Lithography by Handtke. Printed on four sheets joined. Wide margins with light, scattered foxing and toning in far blank margins. (B)
Southern Florida, Bahamas, Cuba (A Chart of the Gulf of Florida or New Bahama Channel, Commonly Called the Gulf Passage…), Faden, London, 1794. 29 x 23”. (HC) This chart was completed by Charles Roberts, Master of the Royal Navy, and is based on the work of George Gauld, a Scottish surveyor. Gauld was assigned by British Admiralty to chart the waters off the Gulf Coast from Louisiana to the Bahamas. He arrived in the Florida area in 1764 on the English ship Tartar, along with John Harrison’s son. William Harrison was on board to test his father`s clock Number Four, which was designed to determine longitude at sea. Although Harrison returned to England soon after arriving in Barbados, his longitude measurements were determined to be accurate to two minutes, or two miles. This data aided Gauld in creating extremely accurate charts. Realizing the importance of his work, Gauld began sharing manuscript charts of his early work with scientific societies in America. The Revolutionary War forced Gauld to suspend his work due to attacks by American privateers, and he was taken prisoner in 1781 and repatriated to England, where he died. This rare sea chart depicts southern Florida, the Keys, the Bahamas, and the northern coast of Cuba. Extensive detail of soundings, shoals, navigational hazards, safe anchorages, and wind and water currents is shown. Seven coastal views are depicted in Cuba, and a small inset shows enlarged detail of the islands from Nassau to Booby Rocks. A table with the longitudes and latitudes of various locations fills the top right corner. This map was published by William Faden, who published many of Gauld`s charts. Original outline color with toning, minor offsetting, and light scattered foxing at top. There is a clean centerfold separation that enters 2.5" into map at top, a tear that enters 1/2" into map at top of the cartouche, and several small chips and tears in blank margins, not affecting map. (B)
Indiana ([Lot of 2] A New Map of Indiana with its Roads & Distances [and] A New Map of Indiana with its Roads & Distances), ca. 1841-50. 11.5 x 14”. (HC) This lot contains two versions of the map of Indiana; first issued by Tanner in 1841 and then reissued by Mitchell in circa 1850. They provide an excellent view of the development of the state in the mid-nineteenth century with early county development and an expanded transportation network. There is good detail throughout locating numerous towns, villages, railroads, canals and rivers. The map clearly shows the National Road cutting across the middle of the state and the Old Indian Boundary is still noted in the northeast corner of the state. At left there is a table that gives the steamboat routes from Louisville to Pittsburgh and from Louisville to New Orleans. At right is a profile of the Wabash and Erie Canal. Maps are mostly clean and bright with a hint of toning and a few occasional spots. (+B)
Maine ([Lot of 2] Map of the Northern Part of the State of Maine and the Adjacent British Provinces… [and] Extract from a Map of the British and French Dominions in the North America by Jno. Mitchell), U.S. Government, Sen. Doc. 502, 25th Cong., 2nd Sess., [1838]. 16.5 x 15.3”. (HC) The first map details the boundary dispute between the United States and Great Britain relating to Maine. Hand coloring is used to show the boundary as claimed by the United States and by Great Britain, with a third line labeled "that of the Arbiter" which closely corresponds to Maine`s present-day border with Canada. A table gives the major points of contention in this border dispute. Another table names land grants belonging to six land holders. The second map (13.3 x 13") was included in the same Senate report for historical purposes. It was extracted from Mitchell`s map of 1755 by W.J. Stone. Both maps are still bound into the original 16 pp. report. Ref: Claussen & Friis no.223; Phillips (M) p. 384. Map of the Northern Part... has light offsetting and a hint of toning with a binding trim at left. Extract from a Map... also has light offsetting and toning with a binding tear at right that extends 0.5" into the image. Both issued folding. (+B)
