4 albumen prints, 190 x 725 mm and 205 x 270 mm, all mounted on contemporary paper (285 x 40 mm) with manuscript titles in French. "Hong-Kong / Panorama général": a fine, large-scale panorama embracing all of Victoria, the capital of Hong Kong, from the perspective of the harbour. The scene is centred upon the concentration of major buildings along the grand quayside of the Praya, including the City Hall, the Hongkong & Shanghai Bank Building and the Hong Kong Hotel, the six-story building featured in the centre-right of the panorama. Notably, the hotel seems to still be in a partially-completed state, as construction of the edifice was not completed until 1892, a detail which helps to date the photograph. Numerous boats can be seen plying the harbour in the foreground, evidence that Hong Kong was one of Asia's busiest ports. Victoria Peak rises above the city, and the thin white line shown ascending the mountain, above City Hall, is the famous Peak Tram. This funicular railway was completed in 1888. - "Hong-Kong / La Rade prise de Bowen Road": an engaging view looking down upon Hong Kong harbour from the perspective of Bowen Road. The line of the celebrated Peak Tram, completed in 1888, is shown running up the slope of Victoria Peak, while numerous ships ply the harbour in the background. Bowen Road was named after George Ferguson Bowen, who served as the 9th Governor of Hong Kong from 1883 to 1885. - "Hong - Kong / Anniversaire de la naissance de la Reine": this fascinating view captures the pageantry of the celebration of the birthday of Queen Victoria. Spectators are shown observing vast lines of troops as they fire an armed salute in honour of Her Majesty, while tall ships decorated with banners are moored in the harbor, in the foreground. Queen Victoria (reigned 1837-1901) personified the British Empire, and her birthday (May 24th) was celebrated annually throughout Britain's colonial possessions. Another example of the same photograph, entitled in manuscript, "Queen's Birthday Parade Hong Kong," can be found in the collections of the Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art at Cornell University, Ithaca, NY (accession no. 86.140.310). - "Hong-Kong / Une Rue dans la ville Chinoise": this photograph captures an interesting street scene in Hong Kong's traditional "Chinatown", otherwise known as the Wan Chai District, located to the east of Victoria. While Victoria had a more "anglicized" appearance, befitting the centre of British colonial administration, Chinese modes of building construction, signage and ways of life prevailed in Wan Chai.

New New English Original bdg. Dust wrapper. In publisher's special box. 4to. (1934, [4] p.), color and b/w ills. A journey through maps from the Ottoman world to the Republic of Turkey. From Constantinople to Istanbul between the 15th and the 20th centuries. The cartographic collection of Erhan Öner. 4 volumes set. A project of passion and patience: For four decades Erhan Öner has been painstakingly collecting maps of Turkey, assembling a cartographic collection that is now one of the largest and most comprehensive of the area. His maps range in date from the 15th century, the early days of the Ottoman Empire, through to the 20th century and the early days of the Republic, and encompass historical, military, marine and archaeological maps, and even postcards with maps on them. Examples by the renowned cartographers Abraham Ortelius, Gerardus Mercator, Jodocus Hondius, Homann Heirs, Freres Lotter, Visscher Family, Sanson Family, John Speed and Frederick de Wit are among the highlights. A project of passion and patience, Öner's collection is finally being published in a four-volume catalogue. Displaying as many as 1,500 maps on 2,000 pages, it will be an important reference work for academics, researchers and fellow collectors. At the same time it is a visual feast, with beautiful illustrations, engravings and vignettes.

Pianta di Roma a proiezione verticale, orientata con il nord in alto.Incisa da R. Benning per il cartografo inglese John Rocque e basata sulla pianta di Giovan Battista Nolli del 1748."Come annunciato nel titolo (ripetuto anche in italiano e francese), si tratta di una diretta derivazione della pianta piccola del Nolli che l'autore ha voluto riportare nella scala in cui aveva già pubblicato la pianta della città di Londra. In basso a sinistra indice delle fabriche più ragguardevoli contenute nella pianta con 170 voci suddivise in sei colonne. In basso a destra dedica a Sir. Bouchier Wrey. Le emergenze architettoniche sono campite in nero ed il resto degli isolati a tratteggio diagonale. In basso a sinistra il nome dell'incisore R. Benning sc. La stessa pianta fu rstampata nel 1773 dal Sawyer" (cfr. Marigliani p. 274).Acquaforte, finemente colorata a mano, in buono stato di conservazione. Non comune. Vertical projection map of Rome, oriented with the north at the top.Published in 1750 by John Roque, from the earlier plan by Goivanni Battista Noli published in 1748 (These dates are printed on the map).As announced in the title (also repeated in Italian and French), this is a direct derivation of the small map of Nolli that the author wanted to bring back to the scale in which he had already published the map of the city of London. At the bottom left index of the most remarkable fabrications contained in the plan with 170 entries divided into six columns. Bottom right dedication to Sir. Bouchier Wrey. The architectural buildings are in black and the rest of the blocks are in diagonal hatching. Bottom left the name of the engraver R. Benning sc.
