His major work Theatrum Orbis Terrarum 1570 with later revisions and addendums was the first modern atlas. It was based on contemporary charts and maps and contained a collection of plates engraved by Frans Hagenberg in a uniform size and format. The Theatrum preceded the first atlas of Ortelius' good friend Gerardus Mercator. In fact popular sentimental legend has it that Mercator delayed publication of his own work so that his younger friend's would appear first. Although this simply isn't true Mercator wasn't ready the legendary cartographer did complement Ortelius for the "care and elegance" he had put into the Theatrum. unknown

President Abraham Lincoln Appoints a Signal Corps Officer Who Would Serve with Sherman on the March to the Sea

15073254115/07/1864. <blockquote>A real rarity the first Lincoln appointment to the Signal Corps for an officer active in Shermanâ€™s Georgia Campaign we have seen</blockquote>On March 29 1860 the United States House of Representatives approved the Army appropriations bill for fiscal year 1861 which included the following amendment: ""For the manufacture or purchase of apparatus and equipment for field signals $2000; and that there be added to the staff of the Army one signal officer with the rank pay and allowance of a major of cavalry who shall have charge under the direction of the Secretary of War of all signal duty and all books papers and apparatus connected therewith."" The United States Senate eventually approved the appropriations bill over the objections of Jefferson Davis now Senator from Mississippi and President James Buchanan signed it into law on June 21 1860 the date now celebrated as the birthday of the modern U.S. Army Signal Corps.Now armies on the go could report back to their civilian leadership in real time and those leaders could make decisions without waiting for a messenger on horse. This changed the face of warfare. President Lincoln himself spent significant time in the telegraph office sending and receiving war correspondence. He often walked alone from the White House to the office and chatted with the operators. As Bates later wrote â€œDuring the Civil War the President spent more of his waking hours in the War Department telegraph office than in any other place except the White House. While in the Telegraph Office he was comparatively free from official cares and therefore more apt to disclose his natural traits and disposition than elsewhere under other conditions.â€John Quincy Adams first enlisted in 1862 with the 38th Ohio Volunteers. On October 15 of that year he was a quartermaster sergeant with the 10th Ohio Cavalry. After a stint as acting lieutenant on July 15 1864 he was appointed by the President Second Lieutenant to date from March 3 1863. Adams was actively involved in the Georgia campaign conducted by Gen. William T. Sherman. He was with left wing of the 16th Army Corps on the march to Chattanooga Tenn. In the Atlanta Campaign he participated in the battles of Resaca Dallas Kenesaw Mountain. and Jonesboro. He manned signal corps stations at Kenesaw Mt. and Allatoona.Adams was in the engagements at Port McAllister and Rice Mill station in the campaign from Savannah through the Carolinas including battles at Columbia Bentonville and Raleigh; and at the surrender of Confederate Gen. Joseph E. Johnston to Sherman on April 26 1865. Adams was breveted 1st lieutenant for gallant and meritorious service in the Signal Corps at the battle of Allatoona; he was breveted captain for gallant and meritorious services in the Signal Corps at the capture of Fort McAllister and Savannah and throughout the war. Adams was mustered out August 22 1865. After the war he was in the 1st U. S. Cavalry and was in the Indian wars and finished his career as captain and aide to Gen. O.O. Howard in October 1884. He is listed on the roster of the U.S. Signal Corps in the Civil War.Adams is also a protagonist in one of the most famous telegraph exchanges of the war during the battle near Allatoona. During this battle legend goes that Sherman signaled to General Corse and his men to ""hold the fort"" a phrase that inspired the later popular religious hymn entitled Hold the Fort by Chicago evangelist Philip P. Bliss which featured the chorus 'Hold the fort for I am comingâ€™ which then became a common expression. We still use ""hold down the fort"" today. Adams was the signal officer who received that message or rather a variant as Sherman did not use that exact phrase though captured the sentiment.This is President Lincolnâ€™s appointment of Adams as Second Lieutenant. Document signed Washington July 15 1864 naming Adams ""Second Lieutenant in the Signal Corps"" dating from the third of March 1863.This document is a real rarity as we have never before seen a Lincoln appointment to the Signal Corps for an officer active in Shermanâ€™s March to the Sea. Moreover Lincoln Signal Corps appointments are themselves uncommon this being our first.It was acquired from the Adams descendants and has never been offered for sale before.<img class=""alignnone wp-image-25018 size-post-window"" src=""https://cdn.raabcollection.com/wp-content/uploads/20231204144051/Folder-site-11-1600x1327.jpg"" alt="""" width=""1600"" height=""1327"" /> unknown

President Abraham Lincoln Works to Honor ""My Old Friend Joseph Gillespie"" as Well as One of the Pallbearers at His Funeral

15093547615/09/1863. <blockquote>The letter itself was from Lamb a pallbearer after Lincoln's assassination</blockquote>Joseph Gillespie was a Whig member of the Illinois Assembly in 1840-41 and then served in the State Senate from 1847 to 1859. He joined the Republicans in 1856. Gillespie chaired the Illinois Republican State Convention in 1860 where presidential electors were selected who would vote for Abraham Lincoln and served as circuit court judge in Southern Illinois from 1861 to 1873.From when they met in 1840 Gillespie was a key political ally lawyer and trusted and intimate friend to Abraham Lincoln. They consulted on legal cases and in political matters where they kept each other informed of political developments. Gillespie visited President-elect Lincoln at Springfield before he left for Washington. When Lincoln was president Gillespie occasionally went to Washington to see him and kept him informed about the political situation in the western states. Their correspondence shows a close personal bond.James L. Lamb was a meatpacker industrialist and friend of Lincoln from Illinois known for his business dealings with the future President and his role as one of the pallbearers at Lincoln's funeral. In a letter addressed to President Lincoln Lamb wrote him from Springfield Ill. September 10 1863 to secure a position for a relative. â€œMy friend and relative Mr. James H. Lea is an applicant for the position of paymaster in the army. His appointment I am sure would meet the approbation of all true friends of the Government who are acquainted with him. I have long known him as a reliable competent businessman and one whose integrity could be fully relied upon. His moral character is without blemish and the most satisfactory assurances can be given of his integrity and fitness for the position.â€ The docket states â€œSpringfield Sep. 10/63 James L. Lamb to the President. Application for appointment of James H. Lea as a Paymaster.â€This letter was not mailed by Lamb to Lincoln. Instead Lamb gave the letter to Gillespie to enlist his support and use his influence with Lincoln. Gillespie presented Lambâ€™s letter to Lincoln with his request that it be honored.Autograph endorsement signed Washington September 15 1863. â€œMy old friend Gillespie presents this; and I would like for him to be obliged.â€ This is unpublished and not in Baslerâ€™s Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln. The wording of Lincolnâ€™s endorsement saying that Gillespie presented this to Lincoln and the implication that Gillespie will need to be presenting this to the Secretary of War raises the possibility that Gillespie handed this to Lincoln in person and then took the endorsement to Stanton.On October 10 Gillespie wrote Lincoln that the appointment had not yet been made and relating a communication with Stanton saying â€œI would beg to call your attention to the subject of the appointment of my friend James H. Lea of Alton to the office of paymaster in the regular army. Secy. Stanton told me that he would retire one now on the list to make place for Mr Lea in a short time. I have heard nothing from him since. I would take it as a great favor if this thing could be done soon. I am aware how much you must be pressed with business of an engrossing character at this juncture but hope you may find leisure to jog the secretaryâ€™s memory.â€According to papers in the Library of Congress James H. Lea was appointed an additional paymaster of volunteers to rank from February 23 1864. He signed his oath of office in April.This is a fascinating endorsement showing how Lincoln sought to assist his old friends to the extent he appropriately could.<img class=""alignnone wp-image-25018 size-post-window"" src=""https://cdn.raabcollection.com/wp-content/uploads/20231204144051/Folder-site-11-1600x1327.jpg"" alt="""" width=""1600"" height=""1327"" /> unknown

â€œThe Assassination of President Lincoln! A Nation in Mourning!!!â€

15042913315/04/1865. <blockquote>The Assassination: </blockquote>Abraham Lincoln continues to stand as Americaâ€™s most beloved President. Of our nationâ€™s historical icons Lincoln is the quintessential embodiment of American possibility in his mythic-like rise from rail-splitter to Chief Executive and Emancipator of the oppressed. The admiration felt by Americans for Lincolnâ€™s humble integrity his performance in office his noble statesmanship and his keen sense of justice is enduring. Lincoln is not given the highest marks just for character but for the transformation of the nation that he left behind which was both profound and long-lasting.Polls of historians generally show their belief that Lincoln faced the hardest job of any president. He had to define the issues inspire the people be steadfast in the face of losses win the Civil War free the slaves and lay the groundwork to reunite the nation. All that in the face of determined opposition. He accomplished all this in four years but was assassinated on April 14 1865 and his death left him unable to finish the job a job that quite likely he was the only one with a chance to get completed in a way that would truly bring the nation together.The end of the Civil War left the nation with two overwhelming questions: what to do with and do for the millions of freed slaves; and how to reintegrate the South into the Union. On the first point Lincoln was focused on African American access to land economic prosperity and legal rights and had just approved Gen. William T. Shermanâ€™s order distributing parcels of former slave plantations to the slaves themselves. Lincoln wanted black Union veterans to have the right to vote which was a step to ultimately embracing full suffrage for African American males. In what proved to be his final speech three evenings before his death Lincoln had become the first president ever to support black voting. Lincolnâ€™s successor Andrew Johnson was a Southerner uninterested in fair treatment of the liberated slaves. He opposed plans designed to guarantee the civil rights of black Americans and cancelled Shermanâ€™s order granting land to slaves. Johnson accepted the draconian post-Civil War Black Codes which limited the rights and liberties of African-Americans something Lincoln would never have done.On the second point the readmission of the Southern states Johnson felt that once Southern states returned their loyalty to the national government they could manage their own affairs. This meant they could pass any Jim Crow laws they liked. He opposed the Republican plan for Reconstruction of the South including provisions designed to guarantee the civil rights of black Americans. The Republican Congress had no rapport with Johnson and the initial four years era of Reconstruction which was a disaster to the nation was essentially a bitter battle between a North and South that remained locked in contention presided over by a weak President Johnson and a Congress at loggerheads with him. Lincoln had enormous power and influence some of which extended into the South. He saw the end of the war as an opportunity to not simply celebrate victory but an opportunity to move the country forward. Johnson had no such feeling. Lincoln would have been much better placed to direct moderate and ease the contentions of Reconstruction.John Wilkes Booth was a member of a famous acting family and he enjoyed a phenomenally successful stage career during the Civil War: By 1864 he earned $20000 a year at a time when the average Northern family earned around $300 annually. A Marylander by birth Booth was an open Confederate sympathizer during the war. A supporter of slavery Booth believed that Lincoln was determined to overthrow the Constitution and to destroy his beloved South. After Lincolnâ€™s reelection in November 1864 Booth devised a plan to kidnap the president and spirit him to Richmond where he could be ransomed for some of the Confederate prisoners languishing in northern jails. That winter Booth and his conspirators plotted a pair of elaborate plans to kidnap the president; the first involved capturing Lincoln in his box at Fordâ€™s Theater and lowering the president to the stage with ropes. Booth ultimately gave up acting to focus on these schemes. Neither of the kidnapping plans bore fruit. On the evening of April 11 the President stood on the White House balcony and delivered a speech to a small group gathered on the lawn. Two days earlier Robert E. Lee had surrendered the Army of Northern Virginia at Appomattox Court House and after four long years of struggle it had become clear that the Union cause would shortly emerge from the war victorious. Lincolnâ€™s speech that evening outlined some of his ideas about reconstructing the nation and bringing the defeated Confederate states back into the Union. Lincoln also indicated a wish to extend the franchise to some African-Americansâ€”at the very least those who had fought in the Union ranks during the war - and expressed a desire that the southern states would extend the vote to literate blacks as well. Booth stood in the audience for the speech and this notion seems to have amplified his rage at Lincoln. â€œThat means nigger citizenshipâ€ he told Lewis Powell one of his band of conspirators. â€œNow by God Iâ€™ll put him through. That is the last speech he will ever make.â€Three days later Booth made good on his promise. Upon learning that Lincoln and his wife intended to see the play â€œOur American Cousinâ€ at Fordâ€™s Theater Booth used his actorâ€™s connections there to gain access to the Presidentâ€™s box. He shot Lincoln at about 10 pm on April 14 1865 and Lincoln died about after 7 am on the 15th.Dr. Charles Leale was in the audience. Leale leapt over theater seats got to the presidentâ€™s box and announced that he was a doctor. As he entered the President was sitting in a chair with his eyes closed and head slumped. He already looked dead Leale recalled. He felt Lincolnâ€™s right arm for a pulse but couldnâ€™t find one. He and some others eased Lincoln to the floor and Leale began searching for the wound. â€œI quickly passed the separated fingers of both hands through his blood-matted hairâ€¦and I discovered his mortal woundâ€ Leale recalled. â€œThe president had been shot in the back part of the head behind the left ear.â€ Leale stuck the little finger of his left hand into the hole in Lincolnâ€™s skull. â€œI then knew it was fatal and told the bystandersâ€ he wrote later. Leale knew he had to get Lincoln out of the theater to treat him. But he believed a carriage ride back to the White House would kill him. He and several other men lifted the president and with Leale holding Lincolnâ€™s head they began to maneuver him outside. Across the street from the theater was the house of William Peterson and Lincoln was taken there. Lincoln was carried to a small back room stripped of his clothes and covered with blankets. His 6-foot-4-inch frame had to be placed diagonally to fit on the bed. Leale ordered the window opened and the wait began. A parade of anguished government officials and family members came and went. The President sank steadily his breathing labored and his pulse nearly undetectable. At 7:22 am on April 15 President Lincoln breathed his last. Leale smoothed the contracted muscles of Lincolnâ€™s features placed two coins over his eyes and pulled a sheet up over his face. Famously Secretary of War Stanton saluted the fallen President and uttered â€œNow he belongs to the ages.â€ Stanton further eulogized Lincoln with the apt observation â€œThere lies the most perfect ruler of men the world has ever seen.â€Original report on the assassination printed the very day he diedThe public was hungry for information and the newspapers equally hungry to report the momentous news. One of these was the Binghamton Daily Republican and this is its issue of April 15 1865 with black mourning columns.The front page as was routine at the time was taken up by ads. The news then began on page two. There at top left is the headline â€œThe Assassination of President Lincoln! A Nation in Mourning!!!â€ It begins â€œWe feel too unfitted by this awful event to allude to the calamity in terms becoming its solemnity and importance! LINCOLN IS DEAD! Struck down by the hands of a brutal assassin in the midst of the triumphs which were commemorating his salvation of the country. A great man indeed has fallen! The foremost man of his time is no moreâ€¦We dare not contemplate what may follow this sad and inscrutable providence.â€ This was followed by a proclamation of the governor of New York. On page three were dispatches from 12:30 AM to noon to 3:00. An early dispatch reports that â€œthe President was shotâ€¦ and is not expected to liveâ€ and told of the events of the assassination then available in detail. It mentioned â€œThe screams of Mrs. Lincoln first disclosed the fact to the audience that the President had been shot.â€ Later it reported of Lincoln â€œAt midnight the Cabinetâ€¦a few personal friends with Surg. Gen. Barnes and his immediate assistants were beside his bedsideâ€¦The parting of his family with the dying president is too sad for description.â€At noon the newspaper had more news and reported â€œLater concerning the President. He died this morning at 7:20. Two villains engaged in the horrible crime. The murder planned before March 4th.â€ At the bottom of the column is a report on the progress of the army of General William T. Sherman saying that in response to Grantâ€™s hope Sherman would pursue the remaining Confederates Sherman said â€œI think weâ€™ll do it.â€ At 3:00 the paper printed the latest from Washington. It contained â€œFull particulars of the Death of Abraham Lincolnâ€ plus â€œInauguration of President Johnsonâ€ and Johnsonâ€™s statement on taking office.Original newspapers reporting Lincolnâ€™s assassination have become very scarce this being our first in over a decade. This one is comprehensive and with its black borders and large headlines is evocative of the moment and would be perfect for display.<img class=""alignnone wp-image-25018 size-post-window"" src=""https://cdn.raabcollection.com/wp-content/uploads/20231204144051/Folder-site-11-1600x1327.jpg"" alt="""" width=""1600"" height=""1327"" /> hardcover

Chinae olim Sinarum Regionis nova descriptio. Auctore Ludovico Georgio. pl. 93

158461175hand-coloured copper engraving. verso: Spanish text. EXTREMELY RARE.The first European map of China appeared in Abraham Ortelius's atlas " Theatrum Orbis Terrarum" showing the area of Canton Mindanao no Luzon some islands to the North but only CuboCebu is marked and part of Japan – Spanish edition. An extremely important map for the Philippines here in the first state: there is no indication yet of' 'Las Philippinas' as will be shown later in the second state on the long elongated island just north of Borneo in the position and orientation of Palawan but apparently not based on Spanish knowledge. Ortelius was a notable Dutch cartographer and the publication of this atlas in 1570 marked an epoch in the history of cartography. It was the first uniformly sized systematic collection of maps of the countries of the world based only on contemporary knowledge since the days of Ptolemy & in that sense may be called the first modern atlas; although that term itself was not used until 20 years later by Mercator. The Theatrum was re-issued in 42 editions with 5 supplements with text in Latin Dutch German French Spanish Italian & English between the years 1570-1612. The protrusion of a Southern landmass initially called 'Beach' by Marco Polo is shown South of "Java Major" alluding to Australia.
