Ortelius himself drew all the maps in manuscript before passing them to the printers. there is conjecture that he may have engraved some of the plates as well The 1595 Latin text edition is the most complete produced during his lifetime containing all the maps of the 1593 edition plus those of the the"Additamentum" and the"Pareragon" or Ancient geography. The " Additamenta" were supplements to the original Atlas; at the same time Ortelius replaced some maps with new ones showing the same place; some plates were also reworked . Ortelius was Geographer Royal To Phillip II of Spain from 1575. He also worked closely with Braun & Hogenburg on the "Civitas Orbis Terarum". After his death the plates were purchased by Jan Baptiste Vrients in 1601 who published further editions until 1612. Van de Krogt :3; .Koeman: Ort29 8998 Zacherakis: 2497; van den Broecke:147a.

1864377694Philadelphia: Published by Mason & Co 1864. 16pp. 16mo. Publisher's wrappers with a portrait of Lincoln on the front and advertisements for political emblems badges pins etc. on the verso. Minor staining. Housed in a morocco backed slipcase. 16pp. 16mo. A pocket songster printed to support Lincoln's reelection campaign in 1864 featuring a rather youthful portrait of the president on the front wrapper and twelve spirited pro-Union songs. The titles largely military in theme include such works as "Give us Noble Leaders" "The Veteran Volunteer" "Cast Your Votes for Abraham" "For Lincoln or McClellan you'll be called on to decide/ The one to save the union the other to divide" and "We are Coming Father Abraham 600000 More." <br /> <br /> The advertisements on the rear wrapper encourage readers to purchase a wide variety of Lincoln campaign badges emblems pins and photographs from the publishers. Despite Lincoln's overwhelming electoral victory in 1864 the race was rather close in Pennsylvania where this was printed - Lincoln took Philadelphia County by a scant few percent and actually failed to secure a majority in neighboring Montgomery and Bucks counties.

1864101729Np New York: For sale by all News Agents. Price $1 per 100. 1864. 4to. Broadside text in two columns; creased from prior folding and split at creases some toning and paper clip rust staining. Republic campaign broadside reprinting an interview with Lincoln by former Wisconsin State Assemblyman Joseph T. Mills and former state Governor Alexander Williams Randall. Lincoln vigorously defends the use of Black soldiers in the Union Army against Democratic candidate McClellan's strategy of leniency towards Southern States rejoining the Union: "The slightest knowledge of Arithmetic will prove to any man that the rebel armies cannot be destroyed with Democratic strategy. It would sacrifice all the white men of the North to do it. There are now in the service of the United States near 200000 able-bodied colored men most of them under arms defending and acquiring Union territory. The Democratic strategy demands that these forces be disbanded and that the masters be conciliated by restoring them to slavery. Will you give our enemies such military advantages. to get them back into the Union Abandon all the posts now garrisoned by black men take 200000 men from our side and put them in the battle-field or corn-field against us and we would be compelled to abandon the war in three weeks. . There have been men base enough to propose to me to return to slavery the black warriors of Port Hudson and Olustee and thus win the respect of the masters they fought. Should I do so I should deserve to be damned in time and eternity. My enemies pretend I am now carrying on this war for the sole purpose of abolition. So long as I am president it shall be carried on for the sole purpose of restoring the Union. But no human power can subdue this Rebellion without the use of the emancipation policy and every other policy calculated to weaken the moral and physical forces of the Rebellion." This is the first separate printing of the interview which was first published as "The Loyal Road to Peace and the Disloyal Road to Ruin President Lincoln on Democratic Strategy" in the Wisconsin Grant County Herald August 1864. The broadside also prints Grant's letter to E.B. Washbourne "The Rebels have now in their ranks their last man. The little boys and old men are guarding prisoners guarding railroad bridges and forming a good part of their garrisons for entrenched positions " and a poem by Bayard Taylor on the Democrats' presidential nominating convention.

1590200018AG1590. Antwerp Ortelius 1590. Original hand-coloured engraving. Plate Size: 44 cm x 31 cm. Sheet Size: 53.7 cm x 38.5 cm. Original map. Very good actually stunning condition. Really clean and crisp. Generous margins. Reverse recto carries Latin text. Shirley 176; Broecke 186.1; Koeman III 0800H:31. Beautifully unusual and richly decorated map of the Ancient World based upon the work of Claudius Ptolemy from Ortelius' Parergon 'Supplement'. The depicted land masses of Europe Africa and western Asia are largely in their modern configurations although the place names on the map are based upon Ptolemy. The southern portion of Africa is missing and China is not included on the map. A small number of cities including Hispalis Seville Lutetia Paris Rome Byzantium Istanbul Hierusalem Jerusalem Alexandria and Memphis are identified. Relief shown pictorially. The mythical Luna Montes Mountains of the Moon - the fabled source of the Nile - can be seen in the southern half of Africa. Madagascar is also included. The climate zones are shown as 'Zona frigida et inhabitablis' 'Zona temperata et habitabilis' and 'Zona torrida et ob Solis nimium fervorem a veteribus inhabitabilis credita.' The tropics and Arctic and Antarctic circles are also shown. The 'Zona frigida' lying above the Arctic Circle and the region lying at the Equator are described as being inhospitable. The border of the globe carries longitudinal and latitudinal information. The outer areas of the map are decoratively patterned and there is one inset roundel map in each corner showing the different continents depicting in clockwise order Europe Asia Africa and the Americas. Ortelius' characteristic strapwork design ornaments the title cartouche above the globe as it does the cartouche seen beneath it. It bears the inscription: "En Spectator Pilae Totius Terrae Ichnographiam at Veteribus Usque ad Annum Salutis Nonagesimum Secundum Supra Milles Quadrigent. Cognitae Tantum Geographiam." Immediately underneath the illustrated landmass is a further cartouche similarly ornamented decorated with two lion heads and bearing an oval inset statement of responsibility in Latin script. The Parergon was conceived initially as a supplement to Ortelius' Theatrum Orbis Terrarum Theatre of the World. The work a vast and finely researched index of the Classical world was accompanied by a number of ancient world maps. Unlike the maps of the Theatrum the majority of which were reductions of earlier maps the maps of the Parergon were researched and drawn by Ortelius himself. The work was a great commercial success and the maps themselves set the standard for ancient world maps for the duration of the 17th Century. Abraham Ortelius was a Flemish cartographer and geographer conventionally recognized as the creator of the first modern atlas the Theatrum Orbis Terrarum Theatre of the World. He was one of the most notable figures of the Dutch school of cartography during its golden age approximately 1570s-1670s. unknown
190027986Denver CO: Issued by Halsey M. Rhoads 1900. Very Good. Denver CO: Issued by Halsey M. Rhoads ca. 1900. Later printing. Broadside with calligraphic portrait of Abraham Lincoln in which the script of the Emancipation Proclamation forms the image within a decorative frame surrounded by the names of the members of Congress who voted for the amendment of the U.S. Constitution. 48 x 37 3/4 cm. A few tears to edges with tape mend to verso top edge; folds; minor edge wear; paper residue to verso from previous mount; overall Very Good. <br /> <br /> The original design was by W.H. Pratt in 1865 with just portrait and border and the names to the outside added to later printings. Halsey Rhoads was publisher of the Rocky Mountain Herald and a well known and prominent Denver citizen--even his bout with appendicitis in 1901 treated with leeches and ice garnered several writeups in contemporary newspaper accounts. <br /> This broadside scarce in any printing. <br /> <br /> See Eberstadt 42.

186139392Springfield: Charles H. Lanphier 1861. 4 pp. Folio. 16-1/4" x 23-1/2.". Lightly chipped blank inner edge. Each page printed in six columns each separated by a rule. Very Good.<br /> <br /> The Register no friend of Abraham Lincoln was a Democratic Paper supporting the Crittenden Compromise. Reporting on State and National issues the Register notes "The Crittenden Resolutions have strong friends but the ultra republicans will not take them." Lincoln had insisted that his allies hold firm against Crittenden's Compromise. The Register rebukes Lincoln for his famous declaration that "the Union could not endure permanently part slave and part free." Developments in the fracturing Union are reported. <br /> Lincoln had been elected President nearly three months before the appearance of this issue. His inauguration would occur five weeks later. Paid advertisers include John McClernand and John Stuart who advertise their legal services in the first column of page 1. The large number and variety of advertisements for an array of medical complaints about four columns are surprising- - and a little disturbing. <br /> This issue also reports an incident involving the John Brownites at Boston who were snubbed by British Lord Brougham after inviting him to attend a convention discussing the abolition of slavery.

1862100336Newspaper folio unbound 8pp. Dampstained browned at edges with some foxing early owner's ink stamp on top margin some small tears and chips along edges and a little creasing. Still in decent shape overall. This is one of the earliest printings of the Emancipation Proclamation which was issued on September 22 1862. The Emancipation Proclamation declared freedom for all slaves in any Confederate state that didn't return to the Union by January 1 1863. Although this executive order did not actually free a large number of slaves it set the stage for the freedom of all slaves. Coverage of the Emancipation in this newspaper begins in the middle of the first page. This newspaper article represents important coverage of a very significant event in American History. archives government exhibits emancipation website
