The following Collection forms a Portable Atlas of North America calculated in its Bulk and Price to suit the Pockets of Officers of all Ranks" Advertisement. Although the publishers claimed the atlas would fit into an officer's pocket it was more usually carried in a holster and thus gained its nick-name. The six maps are as follows: 1. DUNN Samuel.

18905166London: J. Braill & Son 1890. Aquatint printed in colours and finished by hand. A fine copy of this excellent late example of the racing aquatint.<br/> <br/>The heyday of the racing aquatint in Britain was probably about 1830 but the present example shows that the art had not died out even sixty years later. The print is unfortunately unsigned but aside from the process used the style of painting is charming and recalls the work of John Frederick Herring and his contemporaries. J. Braill & Son unknown books
18025174London: Harding 1802. Aquatint coloured by hand on laid paper watermark '1802' Publication line at foot of plate shaved with slight loss some expertly repaired tears to margins. An anonymous work of quality.<br/> <br/>Unusually the present work does not include either the artist responsible for the original or the engraver who worked on the plate. The publication line is very faint: sometimes an indication of a later issue but the early watermark does not support this. None of the standard reference works include either this print or mention of the horse Sacripant. This suggests that this image is rare and the absence of names allied with the early watermark may indicate some sort of proof issue. Harding unknown books
