CALIFORNIA. Sonoma County and Russian River Valley Illustrated. TOGETHER WITH: Map of Sonoma County Cala. sic / Map of Verano Sonoma Valley California

18883393San Francisco: Published by Bell & Heymans 1888. First Edition. Very good. Folio 350 x 258 mm. 86 ix 1 pp. including fascinating advertisements. Original wrappers chipped and foxed. Wrappers with two-color lithographs 44 b/w lithographs illustrating the text some extending over 2 pages all by Britton & Rey San Francisco. MAP 53 x 71 cm with some short tears at fold intersections. Recto: "Map of Sonoma County Cal'a sic. Showing Boundary Lines of County and Townships Railroads and Public Roads Cities Towns &c. &c." Published by Bell and Heymans 434 California St. San Francisco Copyrighted May 1888. Lithographer: Cal Label & MacCabe Lith Co. San Francisco. Verso: "Map of Verano Sonoma Valley California." Lithographer: H.S. Crocker & Co. San Francisco. Beautifully illustrated promotional materials for the nascent planned community of Verano Sonomy Valley created by the firm of Britton & Rey in their prime. The folio volume and the accompanying map sheet with color illustrations are rare: this is the only complete copy that has been recorded at auction. Although more commercial than the Thompson & West local histories the present work has the same type of wonderful documentation with the added cache of ads that enhance the historical value. Following a history of Sonoma County and Russian River Valley are essays on industries agriculture orchards viticulture stock raising lumber minerals natural wonders business opportunities social life etc. These promotional materials were apparently aimed at investors from the East Coast and perhaps beyond; at some point our map was inscribed in French: "Californie" sic. The remarkable lithographs by Britton & Rey depict scenes views panoramas portraits architecture vineyards orchards etc. some after photographs. Included with our copy is the rare folding lithograph sheet with map of Sonoma County on one side and colored illustrations and map of Verano on other side Hooker Falls orange and olive grove General Vallejo's home Sonoma Creek Verano Park. At that time Verano now known as El Verano was a planned community. The present promotional items were no doubt occasioned when a new train depot was built nearby. The Bancroft copy as recorded by OskiCat does not contain the map but there is a related map greatly reduced defective and apparently printed on one side only by H.S. Crocker with the same title likewise surveyed by P.R. Davis which measures 26 x 46 cm or about half the size as ours. Auction comparables: Dorothy Sloan Auction 20 2007 lot 6 this copy purchased after the sale for $1410. An ugly copy of the map backed with tissue thus obscuring the entire "Map of Sonoma County Cala" on the verso sold at PBA on June 7 2012 for $600. Rocq 14850.

A COMPLETE HISTORICAL CHRONOLOGICAL AND GEOGRAPHICAL AMERICAN ATLAS BEING A GUIDE TO THE HISTORY OF NORTH AND SOUTH AMERICA AND THE WEST INDIES: EXHIBITING AN ACCURATE ACCOUNT OF THE DISCOVERY SETTLEMENT AND PROGRESS OF THEIR VARIOUS KINGDOMS STATES PROVINCES &c. TOGETHER WITH THE WARS CELEBRATED BATTLES AND REMARKABLE EVENTS TO THE YEAR 1822

1823WRCAM43415APhiladelphia: H.C. Carey & I. Lea 1823. Letterpress title copyright notice on verso 1p. advertisement verso blank 1p. table of contents verso blank. Forty-six double-page handcolored engraved maps of the United States all but one with borders of letterpress descriptive text; uncolored double-page engraved view showing the comparative heights of mountains throughout the world; handcolored double-page engraved table showing the comparative lengths of the principal rivers worldwide; five letterpress tables four double-page three of these handcolored; 18pp. of letterpress text. Mounted on guards throughout. Modern half calf and marbled boards spine gilt leather label. Dampstaining along lower edge causing chipping to initial leaves. Closed tear in bottom margin of first map repaired with tissue. Very light offsetting from maps. Some dust soiling light tanning and foxing. Good plus. A handsome atlas of the Americas with individual color maps of each state in the Union including a seminal map of the West by Stephen H. Long. At the time of publication this was the best and most detailed atlas to be produced in the United States with substantial historical background text accompanying each map. Fielding Lucas the major Baltimore printer was the principal engraver. Among the most noted maps in the atlas is Major Stephen H. Long's "Map of Arkansa and other Territories of the United States." That map which depicts the Missouri basin between Nashville in the east the Mandan villages in the north and the Rocky Mountains in the west was based on the surveys conducted by Long on his expeditions of 1819 and 1820. The map published in Carey & Lea's atlas preceded the official account of that expedition by expedition botanist Edwin James which includes a smaller map with similar detail titled "Country drained by the Mississippi Western Section." Carey & Lea's 1823 publication of James' ACCOUNT perhaps explains the prior inclusion of this map with Long expedition information in their atlas. On this famous map is the printed legend which would perpetuate a myth for many years to come identifying the high plains as the "Great American Desert." Carey & Lea's atlas was first issued in 1822; this is the second issue with revised states of three maps Maine North Carolina and Louisiana with the same printing of the remaining maps and a cancel title.

Eight editions of this work were issued on an almost annual basis from 1796 until 1807. The publishers constantly changed and improved the atlas in an effort to outdo not only their competitors but also to improve on the previous edition. Maps were added the first edition included only 66 map sheets maps were replaced the present work includes two maps dated 1800 including 'A New Chart of the World' dated 25 November 1800 and maps were updated eight maps are dated 1799. The scale of some of the maps is truly spectacular: this atlas contains 15 maps that if joined would form large scale wall maps: 'Asia and its Islands' on three folding sheets ranging from the Arctic regions in the north down through Russia Indonesia and Australia would measure approximately 56 x 46 inches if assembled. The remaining maps on two folding sheets would all be approximately 40 x 46 inches if joined: these include three maps of American interest: 'A new map of the whole continent of America'; 'A new map of North America with the West India Islands'; and 'A map of South America'. The remaining areas that are covered by large scale maps are 'A general map of the World'; England & Wales; Scotland; Ireland; the Netherlands; Germany; Hindoostan; Bengal Bahar etc; Delhi Agrah Oude and Allahabad. This atlas was originally created by Thomas Kitchin. Sayer and Bennett had published the work in 1773 and Laurie and Whittle took over the Sayer business in 1794. They subsequently enlarged the work adding maps and changing the name from the General Atlas to A New Universal Atlas. The maps are based on the work of a variety of mapmakers and surveyors: Thomas Kitchin Thomas Jefferys John Rocque Robert Campbell John Armstrong John Roberts L. S. d'Arcy Delarochette James Rennell Andrew Dury Thomas Pownall and Jean Baptiste Bourguignon d'Anville. Also included is the information gathered as a result of the important Pacific voyages of Captain James Cook George Vancouver and Jean Francois Galaup de La Perouse. Phillips Atlases 3534.
