267843Map. Pen and ink with watercolor. Sheet measures 7 x 8.75". Archival frame 9 3/4 x 11 1/2 inches.<br/><br/> Lovely manuscript map depicting France as divided into territories. Color-coded in shades of gray the map is largely unlabeled except for a few islands and the surrounding waters identified. The Pyrenees mountains along the border of Spain and France are rendered in a delightful furry manner.<br><br>This map dates to circa 1880 and was most likely made by a student or apprentice as training in geography drafting and penmanship. Hand drawn map-making was a useful educational tool in the 19th century a period of imperialism and increased world trade in which geography grew significantly as a field of study.<br><br>In the United States and northwestern Europe reform movements that sought to improve the quality and accessibility of childhood education pushed for the inclusion of geography in school curricula. One method of teaching was the making of maps. Working from wall maps globes and atlases students were made to meticulously hand-reproduce maps in pen and ink and with watercolor. Such techniques not only provided a way to review and retain geographical knowledge but they also functioned as training in penmanship calligraphy and drafting. These maps are now called 'schoolgirl' or 'schoolboy' maps and they straddle the line between art memory devices and geography.<br/><br/> unknown books

1910011887The Alps: private 1910. Hardcover. Fine. An astonishingly well-preserved pressed Alpine floral album assembled from plants collected on a motor journey in the summer of 1910 that starts in Gibraltar then Naples and spends most time in and around St Moritz and Mt Muraigl. The collector is anonymous but we might assume she he was American as a postcard laid-in is addressed to New Hampshire. We can assume the album with the titles FLORA ALPINA: GENEROSO KULM on its cover was purchased at the Hotel Generosa one of several in the region where the flowers were collected which catered to motoring tourists of the period. Oblong approx 13" x 9" cobalt blue cloth with gilt titles and decoration front cover floral patterned endpapers in red and gold 20 leaves pages. A total of 27 specimens each most delicately arranged so as to display optimally stalk leaf and flower each with a daintily handwritten description identifying type of flower or species place and date of collection most August 1910 sometimes with the most charming notations which we have highlighted in bold in the page-by-page listing below . There is virtually no deterioration of specimens each conveying still the texture and weight of each plant. Laid-in is a un-stamped postcard in German of Pontresina from which the album has a specimen which pictures a number of hotels on the mountain slopes addressed to New Hampshire USA. The best preserved floral album we have seen. Page 1. "Pepper Tree Almeda Gardens Gilbraltar"; unidentified perhaps secum "wound round basket with wine carried to the top of Mt.
