Incisione in rame, in ottimo stato di conservazione. Carte Reduite des Iles Acores dressee Par Ordre du Ministre de la Marine Pour le Service des Vaisseux Francais, d'apres les Observations faites par M. de Fleurieu, en 1769 et par Don Vicente Tofiño en 1788/ Publiee au Depot general des Cartes, Plans et Journaux de la Marine. 1791.A well engraved and highly detailed chart . It shows soundings, anchorage's, channels, shoals, navigational sightings. Engraved by Petit, engraver for the Depot Générale de la marine. To the left insets with coastal profiles.The main source for the chart's topography and place names is Vincente Tofiño de San Miguel's 1788 Carta esferica de las Islas de los Azores o Terceras, whose detail appears for the most part to be identical to this. A bank between the islands of Tercera and St. Michael has been added, as well as a small island southeast of the Formigues islands spotted by French mariners in 1788. This chart employs rhumb lines where the Tofiño uses latitude & longitude lines. The most significant visual difference between the Tofiño and the Depot are the latter chart's nine beautifully engraved coastal views. These all are far superior to those found on the 1755 Bellin, and show the benefit of more recent survey.A beautiful chart in fine condition.

19023732Tillamook 1902. Very good. 25 leaves containing twenty-five silver gelatin photographs approximately 3.75 x 4.75 inches. Oblong 12mo. Contemporary leather spine and extremities lightly worn. Grey leaves annotated in white ink.Some slight silver mirroring at edges of several images but contents generally clean. Handsome vernacular album featuring the wilds of the Oregon coast as well as several images of local natives during a trip from Tillamook to Redondo aboard the steamer Homer. The steamer ran for two decades up and down the Pacific coast mostly hauling lumber ranging from California to Alaska. The photos appear to have been taken primarily from the ship's deck with views of the local towns from the sea and her captain on deck featured in the last few images. In the summer of 1902 the Tillamook Bay was home to Hobsonville one of the last native settlements in Oregon not on a reservation. The town is featured here including its lumber mill. While the mill employed Native Americans the situation was less than favorable to them and eventually the Tillamooks purchased the village site from Hobson making it one of the few independent Native American villages of its day. The images here show the rugged coastline several small settlements and three striking photos of the natives. These include a lovely portrait of Maggie the chief's wife; her granddaughter; and an unidentified Indian woman with her baby. A nice glimpse into this region at the turn of the century. unknown
