- EDIZIONE ORIGINALE, COLORITURA COEVA -Decorativa mappa tratta dal "Nuovo Atlante Geografico Universale delineato sulle ultime osservazioni", edito a Roma dal 1792 fino al 1801, opera che la Calcografia Camerale commissionò al Cassini al fine di sostituire l’ormai obsoleto "Mercurio Geografico".Giovanni Maria Cassini, Chierico Regolare Somasco fu geografo e cartografo, ma anche intagliatore di architetture e prospettive - uno dei migliori discepoli di Giovanni Battista Piranesi - Cassini fu uno degli ultimi sferografi italiani del Settecento ed i suoi globi ebbero una notevole diffusione, come pure questo "Nuovo Atlante Geografico".Incisione in rame, coloritura coeva dei contorni, leggere bruniture, per il resto in ottimo stato di conservazione.L'Atlante del Cassini fu ristampato dalla Calcografia Camerale nel primo quarto del XIX secolo, prima del 1839. Solo gli esemplari di prima edizione come questo sono stampati su carta vergata coeva e sono colorati a mano in epoca. Le tirature del XIX secolo sono già su carta meccanica, priva di vergelle, e generalmente in bianco e nero. FIRST EDITION, CONTEMPORARY OUTLINE COLOUR -The Italian painter and engraver, Giovanni Maria Cassini, produced this decorative map of Tahiti and Moorea, with the Marquesas shown in an inset. The map is filled with native names for regions on the island, with information taken from Captain Cook's explorations of the islands. A peaceful landscape scene with natives lounging on the shore accents the cartouche. Published in: Nuovo atlante geografico universale delineato sulle ultime osservazioni. Roma, Calcografia camerale, 1792-1801.Cassini was geographer and cartographer but he was also good at engraving architectural items and perspectives – he was one of the best disciples Giovanni Battista Piranesi had. Moreover, Cassini was one of the last artists to engrave spheres in the XVIII century and his globes were quite famous and widespread, and realized the most important Italian Atlas of the XVIII century; his maps always bear a cartouche, extremely rich in colours and details. Copperplate with fine original hand colour, some foxing, otherwise in very good condition.

First edition thus of exceedingly scarce & well-illustrated architectural catalogue for this noted Portland OR based manufacturer of ready-to-assemble homes intending to draw upon local timber as well as trim shipping costs on the West Coast to compete with Sears Pacific Ready-Cut HomesMontgomery Ward and other companies entering the market. These well-designed Pacific Northwest bungalows replaced the fancy Victorians in many western neighborhoods and although most of the homes were one story they also sold garages barns wooden water tanks as well as all of the built-in cabinetry and wood trims. The Fenner homes were delivered in bundles of material all clearly marked ready to assemble and with the instructions could be built by a novice but Fenner does mention that hiring a builder or contractor will still result in considerable cost-savings.The Redi Built House Co. was incorporated in May 1911 by J.H. Fenner F.C. Knapp president of the Peninsula Lumber Co. and James E. Brockway as secretary and treasurer. The numbering was directly related to the date issued so Catalogue No. 15 was issued in 1915 and by 1916 the company was expanding across the country. They were very popular in the fast expanding Ladd Addition and other old Portland neighborhoods as prospective buyers from 1911-1927 could visit their offices and sit down with and devise custom house plans to suit individual tastes. Today Fenner homes can be found in many older Portland and other Pacific Northwest city neighborhoods.
