1854215028Japan. Circa1854. Black and white woodblock map with illustrations 32.2 x 41.5cm. Laid down on thick paper. Printed black border line at lower corner and occasionally in other areas along the border not printed otherwise good. This woodblock print map shows the defence layout around Tokyo Bay against the arrival of the American fleet. Names of lords who are responsible for defending particular areas are written with their rankings in terms of wealth sizes. In the centre the American ships are illustrated in detail. There are five sailing ships painted in red and three steam ships. These eight ships entered the bay on 6 February 1854. Thus this map most likely depicts the scene around that time. A caption on the left reads: 'The United States of America founded by Washington 77 years ago sent Matthew Perry with the President's letter in 1853; Perry revisited Edo in 1854.' . unknown

Starting in Poland he traversed Russia and Siberia on his journey. Stationed in Berlin as a military attaché in 1887 he was tasked with researching the Trans-Siberian Railway under construction by Russia. His successful expedition was followed by further explorations in India and the Balkan Peninsula.<br><br>This sheet divided into 24 illustrated panels narrates Fukushima's story from his youth to his triumphant return after the expedition. Filled with adventure the story depicts his encounters with both danger and excitement. The narrative unfolds in a clockwise direction starting from the bottom right corner similar to a sugoroku game which this may be but it is uncertain. The central panel featuring a newly erected statue represents the final goal of his journey. Each panel is accompanied by a caption that furthers the story. . 福井榮之助. [Fukui Einosuke]. unknown

Translated by J Castéra. Howes S-117 First French Edition.<br /><br />Martin Sauer was an English civil servant who knew Russian French and German. He became acquainted with Joseph Billings in St Petersburg in the 1780s. He agreed to join Billings expedition as his secretary and interpreter. It was agreed that he would write the official account but there is some controversy about his actives when he returned to St Petersburg in 1794. It has been suggested that he left hurriedly for England with much of the important archival material from the voyage including diaries and secret reports so that he could publish a record of the expedition before Russian authorities and scholars in the Academy of Sciences could review its details. Sauer's <i>An account of the Geographical and Astronomical Expedition to the Northern Parts of Russia</i> was published in London in 1802. It contains an abundance of detail about eastern Siberia and the Aleutian Islands and records the expeditions visits to Kodiak Island Prince William Sound and the coast south as far as Yakutat Bay. <br /><br />The chart was made by Aaron Arrowsmith from Sauer's notes and Billings observations and the whole complements well the other contemporary accounts of the expedition by the cartographer Gavriil Sarychev and the naturalist Carl Heinrich Merck. Aaron Arrowsmith 1750–1823 was an English cartographer engraver and publisher and founding member of the Arrowsmith family of geographers. He moved to Soho Square London from Winston County Durham when about twenty years of age and was employed by John Cary the engraver and William Faden. He became Hydrographer to the Prince of Wales ca. 1810 and subsequently to the King in 1820. In January 1790 he made himself famous by his large chart of the world on Mercator projection.

1810ST20849Paris: Chez Arthus-Bertrand 1810. First Edition in French. 205 x 128 mm. 8 x 5". xviii 443 1 pp.Translated into French by A. J. N. Lallemant. <br/> Contemporary flamed sheep covers with thick and thin gilt rule border smooth spine divided into panels by metope and pentaglyph roll panels either with rows of interlocking gilt circles or a gilt compass ornament two black morocco labels marbled endpapers. Folding engraved map by J. B. Tardieu. Wagner-Camp-Becker 6:3; Howes G-77; Sabin 26742; Graff Collection 1519; Wheat Trans-Mississippi 300. Very small loss to head of rear joint boards faintly abraded but the binding entirely solid and pleasing; a handful of leaves with small marginal tears or paper flaws one slightly larger but not affecting text approximately one-third of volume very mildly browned other trivial imperfections but still an excellent copy extremely clean and fresh internally.<br/> <br/> Issued three years after the original English text this is the initial printing in French—and the first in any foreign language—of an important firsthand account of the Lewis and Clark voyage of discovery written by a key figure both during and after the company’s undertaking; it is also and crucially the first edition to include a map of the expedition. Tardieu's map the first to mention the names Lewis and Clark noted important landmarks on the journey including the formidable Rocky Mountains the Columbia River and Fort Clatsop on the Pacific Coast where the expedition spent the winter of 1805-06. Our French edition also adds two letters of Clark not appearing in other editions of Gass—one to William Henry Harrison 2 April 1805 from Fort Mandan and one to Clark’s brother 23 September 1806 on the day the six-month return journey came to an end. Wheat observes that this work held special interest for the French as it provided much information about lands that had until the Louisiana Purchase been part of their domain. A carpenter by training Patrick Gass 1771-1870 was in charge of constructing winter accommodations for the party and his knowledge of building informs his observations here about forts and native architecture. This account was based on journals he kept during the explorations and it was an immediate success upon its first publication in Pittsburgh in 1807. The American public was hungry for information about the Western frontier and their curiosity was shared by Europeans particularly those considering emigration to the New World. Wagner-Camp observes that Gass "became one of the best-known members of the expedition for several reasons: his key role as sergeant brought his name up frequently in the journals of Lewis and Clark; his account was the first to be published; he was the first to have a biography written about him; and finally he outlived the other members of the Corps of Discovery by decades" dying at the age of 98. .
