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.

1888J4KDIGIVEPWUFrance 1888. Brown and black ink watercolour chalk and gold paint on paper mounted on several laminated sheets of paper 69.5 x 52.5 cm. Charming trompe-l'oeil of maps of European countries on a decorated background somewhat reminiscent of a church ceiling. It contains a French inscription "to my beloved parents" which together with some inconsistencies in the use of perspective suggest a young French artist. The maps show some interesting departures from reality: in the Netherlands parts of the province of Gelderland are shifted 50 kilometres to the north replacing Zwolle with Arnhem and Sweden lacks Stockholm but includes Copenhagen in place of Malmö. However the most humorous is in the map of Germany which lacks its western neighbours - the Netherlands Belgium Luxemburg and France - giving it an extensive North Sea coast. The gothic lettering is inconsistent in style with the artist apparently improvising an alphabet for each inscription in the process forgetting Denmark.Somewhat soiled and browned at the edges with several white spots due to overpainting; the sheets are coming loose from one another. unknown

186161812New York: W. Schaus; printed by Sarony Major & Knapp 1861. Second Edition. 59 x 76cm open. 19.5x19cm closed. Tinted lithographic map backed in brown silk in black slipcase with printed paper label. Bookseller's ticket of Rev. A. O. Brickman Baltimore. Two ownership inscriptions of "J. M. Deems Maj. 1st MD Cav" and inscribed "Deems" on the slipcase. Trimmed; splits along half of one horizontal fold; minor stains and discoloration to verso not affecting image which is bright and generally Very Good. Hand-made slipcase worn with portion cut out but with manuscript ownership label intact. <br /> <br /> Uncommon Civil War map used by a distinguished Union Army officer. James Monroe Deems 1818-1901 was a composer and music educator from Baltimore who secured a commission as a major in 1861. He was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel in spring 1863; led the First Maryland Cavalry during the Battle of Gettysburg; retired due to rheumatism in November 1863; and was brevetted Brigadier General in 1867. He likely acquired this map in Baltimore near the beginning of his military career and certainly before his promotion in 1863 given the use of "Maj." in his ownership inscriptions. <br /> <br /> The map itself is the second edition of this design by J. Schedler despite the title it is not a bird's-eye view. The more common first edition has two insets showing the Lower Mississippi Valley and the city of Richmond see Stephenson 17.3. This version has only one inset showing the eastern United States. Stephenson describes this edition as having a Washington DC bookseller's ticket; the present copy has a Baltimore bookseller's ticket instead. <br /> <br /> This copy was mounted for use in the field: it was trimmed down to the neatline the captions removed the image cut up into segments and mounted on linen. The printed label on the slipcase appears to be a portion of the original title. This may have been done by the bookseller Brickman possibly at Deems' request. <br /> <br /> Uncommon. OCLC records about 10 similarly titled maps but few listings distinguish between the first and second editions. STEPHENSON LC Civil War Maps 2nd ed 17.35. 61812. [W.
