250690U. S. Pacific Railroad Exploration & Survey War Department. Map. Lithograph with original hand coloring. Image measures 26.75 x 38.5".<br/><br/> This fascinating geological section of the Mississippi River derives from the investigations of Jules Marcou a French geologist who worked extensively in North America. In 1853 under the service of the U.S. government he became the first geologist to cross the United States as part of the Pacific railroad exploration headed by A.W. Whipple that was then then underway. This map was the result of his travels and was published as part of a report entitled "Reports of explorations and surveys to ascertain the most practicable and economical route for a railroad from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean made under the direction of the Secretary of War in 1853-4." Presented as a geological cross-section the map is color-coded to indicate the type and age of the rock along the river as per a key in the upper left. Mountain ranges are simply but delicately rendered and valleys are labeled beneath each section to show their expanse. The map also provides the locations of various creeks forts Indian territories and intersecting rivers. The map is in good condition with original folds as issued. Some tears at folds. William P. Blake was the Geologist of the Office of the Unites States Pacific Railroad Surveys. These surveys were conducted in 1853-1855 in the interest of finding possible routes for a transcontinential railroad. This map functions as a document of the kinds of investigations conducted in this period of rapid Western expansion.<br/><br/> U. S.

A William Blake Milestone: the First Account of His Life. A book of paramount importance to Blake studies. Malkin was a personal friend of William Blake with whom he shared an interest in radical politics and on the death of his gifted six-year-old son Thomas in 1802 Malkin commissioned Blake to design the frontispiece for Malkin's FATHER'S MEMOIR. In his Preface to this work Malkin gives what the DNB calls the "first and fullest" account of Blake's early life and career and it was with this very tribute to his friend's idiosyncratic genius that Malkin first gave impetus to a more general appreciation of William Blake's art.

Stedman's account of the slave rebellion in Dutch Guiana 1772-1777 with 40 hand-colored plates 16 by William Blake. A best-seller in its day and translated many times Stedman's narrative was an important resource for the abolitionist movement across Europe even though Stedman himself was not straightforwardly anti-slavery. Stedman based the text on personal diaries he kept on his travels now held by the University of Minnesota albeit with his numerous accounts of sexual liaisons with free and enslaved women reduced and romaticised. Essick writes that "Stedman's narrative of the brutalities of slavery very probably influenced Blake's own anti-slavery position"; Blake's graphic illustrations of abused slaves infused with human dignity undoubtedly influenced the reading public and advanced the abolitionist's cause.
