Title card inscribed in black ink: "For Bob MacNeal a fellow photographer with best wishes / Arnold Newman" undated. Mat lightly soiled with a few small chips and abrasions to extremities; image clean and unfaded Near Fine. ca<br/><br/>NOTE: the mat appears permanently fixed to the photograph as presented by the photographer; we have not attempted to examine the print outside the mat. Impressive large-format portrait by Newman here inscribed to one "Bob MacNeal" identified as a "fellow photographer" though we can find no photographers of the period who used this spelling. Possibly a misspelling of Bob MacNeil still active the prominent Canadian fashion photographer; possibly a misspelling of Bob McNeill d.2007 the prominent African-American documentary photographer; or possibly the correct spelling of an acquaintance of no notable prominence at all. Undated but ca. early 1970s a superlative image of the Ethiopian Emperor boldly inscribed and signed by Newman below image. unknown books

Gibbon praised him and 'his scrupulous fidelity was vindicated by James Bruce and by later African explorers. . . a noble example of typography' (D.N.B., vol 17, p 1384).

With an Appendix, containing geographical illustrations of Africa, by Major Rennell”. - Il volume 2° ("The Journal of a mission.."), in seconda edizione (la prima uscì separatamente nel mese di Marzo 1815), contiene “other documents, official and private, relating to the same mission. To which is prefixed an account of the life of Mr. Park”. Cfr. Gay,2788: “L’édition de 1816 et celle de 1817, renferment le journal qui s’est publié séparément sous le titre "The journal of a mission..", London, 1815. La relation de Mungo Park a été traduite dans presque toutes les langues européennes” - Brunet,IV, p. 375 - Printing and the Mind of Man,253. “L’esploratore scozzese Mungo Park (1771-1805) intraprese per conto della Società africana di Londra un viaggio di esplorazione nel bacino del Niger (1795), penetrando dalla Gambia nel Bondu e nella valle del Senegal e seguendo quindi il corso del Niger fino a Segu, nel Bambara. Il resoconto del viaggio ("Travels in the interior of Africa", 1799) lo rese popolare in Inghilterra. Ripartito alcuni anni dopo dalla Gambia (1805), Park raggiunse di nuovo il corso del Niger proponendosi di seguirlo fino alla foce, ma, mentre cercava con un battello di superare le rapide di Bussa, veniva attaccato e ucciso dagli indigeni insieme a tutti i suoi campagni. L’ardimento con cui penetrò in regioni difficili e ostili e il valore delle relazioni scritte fin poco prima della morte, fanno di lui uno dei maggiori esploratori moderni dell’Africa”. Così Diz. Treccani,IX, p. 61. Esemplare ben conservato.

La carta del continente nero di Ortelius rappresenta una delle pietre miliari nella cartografia dell’Africa, diventando subito molto popolare e rimanendo carta di riferimento anche per il secolo successivo. Cartograficamente è una copia della carta di Giacomo Gastaldi del 1564, e segue la tolemaica visione del coso del fiume Nilo. Il bellissimo cartiglio al centro mostra elementi egizi, mentre una grande battaglia navale e due mostri marini decorano questa importante mappa, tratta dall’edizione tedesca del Theatrum Orbis Terrarum. Carta tratta dal Theatrum Orbis Terrarum e che è considerato il primo vero “atlante” moderno. L’opera fu pubblicata in 7 lingue e 36 edizioni, per il quale – nel 1570 - Ortelius ottenne il privilegio, ovvero una sorta di diritto d'autore che impediva ad altri cartografi di pubblicare i propri lavori. Il Theatrum rappresentava il lavoro più avanzato del lavoro della descrizione cartografica. L’Ortelius vi raccolse il sapere geografico e cartografico del suo tempo, proponendo in 147 spettacolari tavole incise l’immagine più fedele del mondo allora conosciuto e, in alcune straordinarie “carte storiche”, regioni e itinerari tratti dalla letteratura, dalla mitologia, dalla tradizione. Ortelius fu anche il primo a citare le fonti, menzionando i nomi dei cartografi nel “catalogus auctorum”. Dal 1598 al 1612 le edizioni postume del Theatrum furono realizzate dal suo collaboratore Johannes Baptiste Vrients. Incisione in rame, eccellente coloritura coeva, in ottimo stato di conservazione. This beautiful map is one of the cornerstone maps of Africa. Geographically, it is a close copy of Gastaldi’s map of 1564 and follows the Ptolemaic view of the Nile. Ortelius' map was modern in appearance, compared to Munster and others, and remained the standard map of Africa well into the 17th century. The map contains a superb vignette of a naval battle on bottom right, and various sea monsters. The cartouche bears Egyptian decorations. From a German edition of Theatrum Orbis Terrarum. Map taken from the Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, which is considered the first true modern "Atlas". The work was published in 7 languages and 36 editions, for which - in 1570 - Ortelius obtained the privilege, a kind of copyright that prevented other cartographers from publishing his works. The Theatrum represented the most advanced work of cartographic description. Ortelius collected in it the geographical and cartographic knowledge of his time, proposing in 147 spectacular engraved plates the most faithful image of the world then known and, in some extraordinary "historical maps", regions and routes taken from literature, mythology, tradition. Ortelius was also the first to cite sources, mentioning the names of cartographers in the "catalogus auctorum". From 1598 to 1612 the posthumous editions of the Theatrum were made by his collaborator Johannes Baptiste Vrients. Copper engraving, contemporary coloring, in good condition. M. Van den Broecke "Ortelius Atlas Maps" (2011), n. 8; O. I. Norwich, "Norwich's Maps of Africa", map 10; R. L. Betz "The Mapping of Africa…" (2007), map 12.
