But these are not simply poor snapshots of boarded-up stations you sometimes see in other books on old railroad stations. Almost all of the photos chosen are superb action shots, showing the stations in use, occupied, earning revenue, or with today's train passing through." - from dust jacket. Unmarked. Moderate wear.

Dettagliata mappa dell'Africa nord-occidentale, pubblicata da Guillaume De L'Isle, qui nella ristampa della tipografia di Reine e Joshua Ottens.La carta si estende dal Regno di Tripoli e dal Mediterraneo fino al Golfo di Guinea e al fiume Gabon, con dettagli notevoli. Include le Isole Canarie, Madeira e Capo Verde.Di tratta di una delle mappe più dettagliate e scientificamente accurate della regione pubblicate all'inizio del XVIII secolo.Guillaulme de l’Isle è il figlio e pupillo del famoso astronomo e cartografo francese Jean Dominique Cassini, con il quale si dedicò ad importanti studi sul calcolo delle longitudini.Le carte del de l’Isle sono caratterizzate dall’estrema precisione e da un’accuratezza della toponimia, e sebbene molto precise conservano il fascino e l’eleganza della storia e furono la base della successiva cartografia anche in Olanda e in Italia.La tipografia Covens e Mortier acquisì molto del materiale cartografico del De L’Isle, forse anche perché Mortier era di origine francese. La carta dell’isola di Ceylon dimostra la grande qualità della cartografia del De L’Isle, basata su informazioni che arrivavano dai viaggi della Compagnia delle Indie.Incisione in rame, coloritura coeva, in ottime condizioni. Detailed map of Northwestern Africa, published by Guillaume De L'Isle, the French Royal Mapmaker.Published in Amsterdam by Reiner & Joshua Ottens nel 1745 circa.Extends from the Kingdom of Tripoli and the Mediterranean to the Gulf of Guinea and the Gabon River, with remarkable detail throughout. Includes the Canary Islands, Madeira and the Cape Verdes.One of the most detailed and scientifically accurate maps of the region published at the beginning of the 18th Century.Guillaume de l'Isle (1675-1726) was the son and pupil of the cartographer Jean Dominique Cassini, who, among other important contributions, aligned the study of astronomy to the study of geography. Under Cassini's direction, observations were made from locations all over the world that enabled longitudinal calculations to be made with much greater accuracy. De l'Isle carried on this exacting work with remarkable dedication and integrity, constantly revising and improving his maps. While precision was his primary goal, his maps are invariably elegant and attractive. Jean (Johannes) Covens and Corneille (Cornelius) Mortier were brothers-in-law, who carried on the book publishing business established by Pierre Mortier in Amsterdam in 1685. Pierre Mortier's company owed much of its success to his access to French publishers, whose publications he re-issued in handsome editions. The elder Mortier died in 1711; his wife continued the firm until she died in 1719. In 1721, Covens and Mortier formed a partnership, Covens having married Agatha Mortier in the same year. They continued the business by publishing enlarged editions of Sanson, Jaillot, and De L'Isle, as well as some of the later Dutch cartographical masters such as De Wit and Allard, and of course Pierre Mortier.This map is from an edition of De L'Isle entitled, Atlas Nouveau, Contenant Toutes Les Parties Du Monde, Ou sont exactement Remarquées les Empires, Monarchies, Royaumes, Etats, Republiques &c. Par Guillaume de l'Isle. Premier Géographe de sa Majesté. It delineates the island in great detail. At the time the map was made, the coastal areas were ruled by the Dutch East Indian Company, who were undoubtedly responsible for the soundings indicated around the island and for mapping the roads depicted. Copper engraving, contemporary colour, in perfect condition. Cf Norwich, O.I. Norwich's maps of Africa (2nd ed.), map 317 (1700-1712 ed.)
Carta disegnata da Jacques Nicolas Bellin, pubblicata come tavola dell'edizione francese del 1757 di "Histoire generale des voyages, ou nouvelle collection de toutes les relations de voyages par mer et par terre s" di Antoine François Prévost, più noto sotto il nome di abbé Prévost.

Colossale lavoro a carattere enciclopedico di ricerca svolto dall’Autore, cui va anche il merito di aver divulgato numerosi racconti inediti sulla scoperta dell’Australia da parte degli olandesi e i resoconti dei viaggi attraverso il Pacifico, fra cui quelli di Magellano e Schouten.

A colossal encyclopedic research work carried out by the author, which also deserves credit for having published numerous unpublished stories about the discovery of Australia by the Dutch and reports of journeys across the Pacific, including those of Magellan and Schouten.The work is accompanied by nearly 300 illustrations of populations, views, and costumes from around the world and by 113 splendid maps, by Jaques-Nicolas Bellin.Copperplate, in good conditions.
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.Grande carta nautica delle isole Azzore basata sull'idrografia dello spagnolo Vincent Tofino ed edita a Parigi. 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.

brossura Texas, 1949. Lacerato ogni legame che lo stringeva alla terra e alla famiglia, John Grady Cole sella il cavallo e insieme all'amico Rawlins si mette sull'antica pista che conduce alla frontiera e più in là al Messico, inseguendo un passato nobile e, forse, mai esistito. Attraverso la vastità di un territorio maestoso e senza tempo, i due cowboy, cui si aggiunge il tragico e selvaggio Blevins, intraprendono un viaggio mitico che li porterà fin nel cuore aspro e desolato dei monti messicani. Qui la vita sembra palpitare allo stesso ritmo dei cavalli bradi e gli occhi di Alejandra possono "in un batter di cuore sconvolgere il mondo". Con una narrazione che all'asciuttezza stilistica di Hemingway unisce la ritmicità incantatoria di Faulkner, McCarthy strappa al cinema il sogno western e lo restituisce, con sorprendente potere evocativo, alla letteratura.
