Carta geografica tratta dall’ Atlante geografico. Corredato di notizie relative alla geografia fisica politica, ed in generale alla statistica delle varie regioni del Globo. Compilato ed eseguito in litografia per cura e sotto la direzione di Benedetto Marzolla edito a Napoli nel 1858. Marzolla, autore di importanti atlanti sulle provincie del Regno di Napoli, è anche autore di diverse carte sulle Circoscrizioni Ecclesiastiche nel Regno delle Due Sicilie, pubblicate postume, nello stesso anno della morte (1858) a Napoli nello Stabilimento Geografico diretto da Luigi Manzella. Benedetto Marzolla fu disegnatore topografo e litografo; geografo e cartografo; membro della Commissione di statistica presso il Ministero dell'Interno. Personaggio di grandissimo rilievo nella cartografia napoletana ed italiana del XIX secolo, Marzolla ottenne in vita pubblici riconoscimenti ed attestati per la produzione cartografica di altissima qualità. La sua notorietà si è lentamente dissolta dopo la morte; va tuttavia osservato che solo la mancanza di uno spiccato coinvolgimento politico in senso risorgimentale e di una valenza letteraria nella sua opera non lo hanno reso famoso come i contemporanei Francesco Costantino Marmocchi (1805-1858) e Attilio Zuccagni-Orlandini (1783-1872), con i quali può certamente confrontarsi. I progetti culturali didattici e editoriali di Marzolla furono e rimangono di straordinaria modernità; egli inventò, è il caso di dire, un nuovo modo di intendere e di disegnare la carta geografica, fornendo una visione assolutamente originale della comunicazione dei dati geografici attraverso la combinazione di testo e immagine. Con tale operazione, egli riuscì a fondere in un'unica opera, storia, geografia, economia, statistica e cartografia, raggiungendo un equilibrio grafico di rara efficacia (cfr. V. Valerio, Benedetto Marzolla Brindisino, Geografo e Cartografo dell'800 Europeo, Brindisi 2008). Bell’esemplare con coloritura coeva dei contorni, in ottimo stato di conservazione. Bibliografia V. Valerio, Benedetto Marzolla Brindisino, Geografo e Cartografo dell’800 Europeo (2008), n. 60. Map taken from the Atlante geografico. Corredato di notizie relative alla geografia fisica politica, ed in generale alla statistica delle varie regioni del Globo. Compilato ed eseguito in litografia per cura e sotto la direzione di Benedetto Marzolla published in Naples in 1858. Marzolla, author of important atlases on the provinces of the Kingdom of Naples, is also the author of several maps on the Ecclesiastical Circumscriptions in the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, published posthumously in the same year of his death (1858) in Naples in the Stabilimento Geografico directed by Luigi Manzella. Benedetto Marzolla was draftsman topographer and lithographer, geographer and cartographer. Character of great importance in the Neapolitan and Italian cartography of the nineteenth century, Marzolla obtained during his life public recognition and certificates for the production of high quality cartography. His notoriety slowly faded after his death; it should be noted, however, that only the lack of a strong political involvement in the sense of the Risorgimento and of a literary value in his work did not make him as famous as his contemporaries Francesco Costantino Marmocchi (1805-1858) and Attilio Zuccagni-Orlandini (1783-1872), with whom he can certainly compare himself. Marzolla's cultural, didactic and editorial projects were, and remain, extraordinarily modern; he invented a new way of understanding and drawing maps, providing an absolutely original vision of the communication of geographical data through the combination of text and image. With this operation, he was able to merge in a single work, history, geography, economics, statistics and cartography, achieving a graphic balance of rare effectiveness. Benedetto Marzolla is famous for being among the most important cartographers of the XIX century, for being the one to print geographic maps using high quality lithographies. His Atlante Geografico, made of 58 maps, presents finely sketched works. Six maps depict North America, among them famous map of gold diggers in California, deriving from Hippolite Ferry. Extremely relevant are also the maps of Antarctic, South Africa with the plan of Cape Town and those about Australia. Though the maps are dated between 1843 and 1856, this 1858 edition, printed in Naples at the Stabilimento Geografico Strada San Carlo (founded by Marzolla himself), represents the final version of his atlas, the last one before his death. A posthumous edition will be published in 1865. The atlas is pretty rare, is not actually listed in Phillips, British Library e OCLC. Beautiful specimen with contemporary coloring of the contours, in excellent condition. Bibliografia V. Valerio, Benedetto Marzolla Brindisino, Geografo e Cartografo dell’800 Europeo (2008), n. 60.

Carta apparsa nella sesta parte, "Océanique", dell'Atlas universel de géographie physique, politique, statistique et minéralogique di Vandermaelen. L'atlante fu prodotto in un'unica edizione nel 1827; furono venduti solo 810 esemplari completi. Questa grande opera, che comprende circa 378 mappe uniche e che fu compilata nell'arco di tre anni, fu il primo atlante litografico e il primo a rappresentare il mondo con la stessa proiezione e in una scala uniforme. Philippe Marie Guillaume Vandermaelen è stato un cartografo fiammingo attivo a Bruxelles nella prima parte del XIX secolo. A Vandermaelen si deve uno dei più notevoli sviluppi dell'impresa privata nella cartografia, ovvero il suo straordinario Atlas Universel de Geographie in sei volumi. Vandermaelen, nato a Bruxelles il 23 dicembre 1795, viene considerato come il più grande cartografo belga dopo Mercatore e Ortelius. Figlio di un medico che era diventato un ricco produttore di sapone, muovendosi in un ambiente commerciale e da autodidatta, divenne un commerciante di prodotti chimici e farmaceutici. Fanatico di geografia, la sua carriera subisce una svolta definitiva quando, nel 1825, inizia a pubblicare un rivoluzionario Atlas universel che lo consacra come cartografo. Primo atlante al mondo a rappresentare la Terra su una scala unica ed eccezionalmente grande, l'Atlas universel offriva la rappresentazione più ampia, completa e precisa mai realizzata. I suoi contemporanei lo capirono, come la Chiesa cattolica romana, che era in una fase di espansione. Negli anni Trenta del XIX secolo, Roma sosteneva che questo atlante era assolutamente il miglior atlante disponibile, prezioso strumento della sua politica missionaria nell'Oceano Pacifico e nelle isole meridionali. Bibliografia Marguerite Silvestre, Philippe Vandermaelen, Mercator de la jeune Belgique, 2016. Map appeared in the sixth part, 'Océanique,' of Vandermaelen's Atlas universel de géographie physique, politique, statistique et minéralogique. The atlas was produced in one edition in 1827; only 810 complete sets were sold. This great work, featuring some 378 unique maps and compiled over three years, was the first lithograph atlas, and the first to render the world on the same projection and at a uniform scale. Philippe Marie Guillaume Vandermaelen (December 23, 1795 - May 29, 1869) was a Flemish cartographer active in Brussels during the first part of the 19th century. Vandermaelen is created with "one of the most remarkable developments of private enterprise in cartography," namely his remarkable six volume Atlas Universel de Geographie. No one could have foreseen that Philippe Vandermaelen, born in Brussels on 23 December 1795, would become the greatest Belgian cartographer since Mercator and Ortelius. Son of a doctor who had become a wealthy soap maker, moving in a business environment and self-taught, he became a dealer of chemical and pharmaceutical products. As a geography fanatic, there was a definitive shift in his career when, in 1825, he began to publish a revolutionary Atlas universel which established him as a cartographer. As the first atlas in the world to represent the Earth on a single and exceptionally large scale, the Atlas universel offered the widest, most complete and most precise representation ever achieved. His contemporaries understood this, such as the Roman Catholic Church, which was in a phase of expansion. In the 1830s, Rome claimed that this atlas was “the best atlas available” and was the instrument of its missionary policy in the Pacific Ocean and the southern islands. Litograph, with original outline colour, very good condition. Bibliografia Marguerite Silvestre, Philippe Vandermaelen, Mercator de la jeune Belgique, 2016.

Consists of two unpaginated parts bound in one cirlox-bound volume. Part 1 consists of 100 one-sided pages encompassing the textual component of the report, supplemented with occasional diagrams of roundhouse layouts and photocopies of photos. The report is divided into: Introduction; The Building, its Elements, Materials and Construction; Roundhouse Memorabilia; and Conclusions, plus a bibliography. The heart of the report lies in the Memorabilia section which provides historical and diagrammatic information about the roundhouses at North Bend, Revelstoke, Field, Cranbrook, Nelson, Trail, Penticton, Coquitlam, Vancouver, and Victoria. Part 2 consists of approximately 75 one-sided pages of black and white photocopied reproductions of photos of roundhouses from across British Columbia. Average wear. Unmarked. A sound copy. Presumably most, if not all, the roundhouses documented here have since been demolished, thus this report, prepared by students of the UBC School of Architecture, serves as an important historical and architectural record.
