[MAPS -- IRELAND]. WALKER, J[ohn], WALKER, C[harles], & [Alexander].Biblio.com

Walker’s Ireland. 15-panel dissected hand-coloured engraved map.

184463111London: J.&C. Walker 9 Castle Street Published by Longman & Co. ca. 1844. 16mo. 3.5 x 5 in. folding out to 13.25 x 16.5 in. dissected 15-panel hand-coloured steel-engraved map linen-backed w/ 3 leaf folding population and mileage distance chart from Dublin by County mounted on front pastedown. Dark gray-green publisher’s cloth portfolio pocket binding decorative borders in blind gilt lettering stamped on front cover a NF copy. First edition thus of this very scarce dissected pocket map of Ireland published against the backdrop of the full impact of the Great Potato Famine which from 1841-1851 resulted in the diaspora and death of nearly 30% of the Irish population and as reflected in the mileage table mounted with the map the population in 1845 had already dropped from 8.2 million in 1841 to 7.7 million by 1844 and it would plummet further to below 6.5 million by 1851. The bulk of these emigrated to the United States Canada and the United Kingdom resulting in the fact that Ireland’s current population still resides below the high of 1841 and nearly 38 million Irish-Americans claim descent from the successive waves of migration much of which channeled through New York’s Lower East Side and the Bowery in the 19th-Century. John Walker 1787-1873 was a British mapmaker engraver lithographer hydrographer draughtsman and publisher publishing nautical charts and geographical maps with his brothers Charles and Alexander in their firm J.&C.

First editions thus of this complete and exceptional example of the Atwood/A.J. Nystrom Regional-Political Series Map Case reflecting the many geographical and political changes between World War I and World War II. Such changes are reflected in the appearance of Manchoukuo the Japanese controlled rump state established in Manchuria in 1932 by the Japanese Empire and also depicting Korea still as Chosen. The Europe map depicts the East Prussia still controlled by the Weimar Republic and then after Hitler ascended to power; while Africa still retains much of the colonial powers as shown in the Belgian Congo Anglo-Egyptian Sudan French Equatorial Africa and even Beuchuanaland. The Australia and the Far East Map clearly defines the Japanese United States British & Australian mandates across the South Pacific. Atwood 1872-1949 was a noted geographer and educator who was a member of both the New Jersey and Wisconsin Geological Surveys served in the US Geological Survey served as professor of Physiography at Harvard and later from 1920-1946 when he produced these maps was President of Clark University and Head of its School of Geography.
