Lot 737

Asia (A New Map of Asia, Divided into its Empires and Kingdoms, with all the European Settlements in the East Indies…), Sayer, London, ca. 1757. 37.5 x 22.5”. (HC) This uncommon, large map of Asia extends west to the eastern Mediterranean and the Red Sea. Sayer gives credit to D`Anville and Robert de Vaugondy for the improvements in cartography. The Korean peninsula is truncated, and Japan with Land of Yezo (Hokkaido) are too large. In the northeast corner are two fictitious islands, Company`s Land and Land seen by Juan de Gama, which were supposedly discovered by Jean de Gama. Vitus Bering finally debunked the myth of the islands in his explorations of the area in 1729, but the islands remained on maps for almost 50 years until Cook confirmed Bering`s reports. The direction of the trade winds is shown in the seas. Insets of the Dardanelles, the Gulf of Smyrna (Izmir), Bombay (Mumbai), and the Hooghly River detail important centers in the British Empires’ quest to dominate trade with Asia. A detailed table at bottom left outlines the divisions within Asia by the Eight Principal Parts and the European Settlements. The map is adorned with a compass rose and an elaborate title cartouche surrounded by images of the Orient. Printed on two sheets, joined as issued. Old color and wide margins with light toning along centerfold, a few minor creases, and one tiny hole. A few short tears in blank margins, and one that enters 2" into map image at right, have been professionally closed on verso with Japanese tissue. (+B)

Lot 738

Detailed depiction of Russia and the Russian and Chinese Tartaries, with their tribes marked. Tibet is labeled Etat du Dalai Lama. The map incorporates La Perouse`s discoveries north of Japan and to incorporate part of Northern Australia and the Torres Strait. Originally by the Robert de Vaugondy family, this map was reissued by their successor, Charles Francois Delamarche. The map is based on the work of the Robert de Vaugondy family, but was re-engraved by Delamarche to incorporate the latest information gathered by the explorations noted. A table with geographical and statistical information on the region in included at right. Original outline color on watermarked paper, with an archivally repaired centerfold separation that enters 5" into image at bottom, and an unrepaired 3/4" tear adjacent to centerfold near Siam.

It updates Sanson`s geography with new information to present a detailed view of the continent with a great many tribal names. The source of the Nile is located in Lake Dambea, and the center of the continent is blank. Originally by the Robert de Vaugondy family, this map was reissued by their successor, Charles Francois Delamarche. The map is based on the work of the Robert de Vaugondy family, but was re-engraved by Delamarche to incorporate the latest information gathered by the explorations noted. A table with geographical and statistical information on the region in included at right. Original outline color on watermarked paper, with a few short, unobtrusive printer`s creases.

Lot 893

Atlases (Atlas Universel de Geographie Physique, Politique et Historique, Ancienne et Moderne…), Brue, Paris, [1822]. 14.5 x 21.5”. (HC) This complete atlas has a Table of Contents that calls for 36 maps, but in fact contains 40 double-page maps. The contents call for separate maps of east and west France, but has instead a single large folding map of France. It also has 5 maps not listed in the Table of Contents: Russia & northern Europe, England & Wales, northern Africa, eastern US, and northern South America. The atlas contains two world maps, maps of each continent, maps of the ancient world, and great maps of the United States, North America, and Mexico that includes all of the Southwest. All of the maps bear the imprint "Gravée sous le direction de l`auteur" as well as Brue`s embossed seal "Carte encyprotipe du fonds de l`auteur," and are beautifully engraved and surrounded by a decorative keyboard border. The map Carte Generale des Etats-Unis de l`Amerique Septentrionale (cf Wheat TMW no.336) was probably based on work of Arrowsmith and Melish with information from the Lewis & Clark and Humbolt`s expeditions. This handsome and finely engraved map covers the United States with most of Mexico and a bit of Canada. The United States are shown with their claims into British Columbia (District de la Colombia) and Spain still controls all of Texas and the Southwest, most of which is blank with only conjectural topography shown. The West also features some fictitious rivers, including the R. Buenaventura, flowing from the Rockies into L. Teguayo, and the dotted R. St. Phelipe flowing from that lake into the Pacific at Monterey. Farther south the Rio de las Pyramydes is suggested near the short R. de los Martires, both of which appear to go nowhere. Half green leather with gilt titling and designs on spine, marbled paper-covered boards with title engraved on a pink label on front cover. Maps have beautiful original color with wide margins and are in near fine to very good condition with faint offsetting, light toning along sheet edges and an occasional small spot. Both maps of western Russia have pencil notations in blank margins. Hinges are starting. Spine and covers are worn and stained with bumped corners and tails. (+B)

Atlases (New Universal Atlas Containing Maps of the Various Empires, Kingdoms, States and Republics of the World…), Thomas, Cowperthwait & Co., Philadelphia, 1854. 14 x 17.5”. (HC) The title continues "With a special map of each of the United States, Plans of Cities &c. Comprehended in seventy five sheets and forming a series of one hundred and twenty two maps plans and sections." This famous and highly sought-after atlas is complete with 75 map sheets of the world, North America and the other continents, Oceanica, the United States and its territories, and numerous city plans. The atlas concentrates mainly on the American continents, and features many important and desirable maps. The map of Texas is one of the most influential atlas maps of the period. It depicts the new boundaries that were determined by the Compromise of 1850. The organized counties extend only to Cooke in the north and Kinney in the southwest. The western edge of the frontier is marked with a line of army forts separating the settled region from the vast area noted as rolling table lands and desolate plains Destitute of Timber. This area is largely the range of Apache, Kiowa, Comanche and Lipan Indians. Wagon roads, springs, and trails are identified, including the Comanche War Trail, Connelly`s Trail and the Emigrant`s Route. Tiny flags locate important battlefields in both the Texas war for independence and the Mexican American war. Descriptive explanations and notes make this map an interesting study. A table provides statistics according to the Census of 1850 including the population by ethnic groups, e.g. "Free Colored males" is given as 171. There are insets of Northern Texas, noting the northern boundary at Lat. 36 30`, as resolved in the Compromise of 1850, and the vicinity of Galveston City. The spectacular map of the West has a large Oregon territory extending to the Continental Divide, the huge Utah Territory extends from California to Indian Territory, and New Mexico occupies all of the Southwest with a pre-Gadsden Purchase border. The double-page map of the United States features the same borders in the West, plus a large inset map of the Gold Region of California. The map of Minnesota features the large territories of Pembina and Blue Earth extending to the Missouri River. The frontispiece is a hand colored, engraved diagram showing the lengths of rivers and heights of mountains. The title page includes a fine, early chromolithographic image by P.S. Duval titled First Landing of Columbus in the New World, which shows Columbus and his crew giving thanks to God for their safe journey. Folio, frontis, chromolithographed pictorial title page depicting Columbus` arrival in the New World, table of contents printed in red and gilt color, 74 map sheets comprising 70 single-page maps, 3 double-page maps (US, New York and Europe) and the thematic plate. Bound in half red leather over marbled paper boards. Red leather label on front cover with gilt title and design. Published by Thomas, Cowperthwait, & Co. No. 253 Market Street, Philadelphia. This is an increasingly difficult to find atlas complete with all its maps. Maps have original color and are mostly in near fine condition with some in very good condition with occasional light foxing. Toning is primarily confined to blank margins, although a few maps have overall light toning. The binding is very loose and the spine is missing. The covers are detached and show moderate wear and rubbing. This example would benefit greatly from professional rebinding. (+B)
