In just slightly chafed black buckram slipcase. WITH A MAP FROM THE ORIGINAL 1619 ATLAS bound in with period hand coloring. Map 293 "Tarvisina Marchia Et Tirolis Comitatus". De Hamel & Silver "Disbound and Dispersed" 186. One corner a bit bumped otherwise the main volume flawless; the map edges a bit browned and just slightly frayed a few light spots but still excellent with good color and strong general appeal.<br/> <br/> This attractive oversized production includes an original map of an important region of northeastern Italy taken from the 1619 edition of the Mercator-Hondius atlas. A pioneer in commercial cartography and a founder of the Netherlandish school of cartography and geography Mercator 1512-94 produced maps used around the world that were informed by his brilliant "Mercator Projection" which allowed the round Earth to be accurately depicted on a flat map. Near the end of his life he began work on an ambitious cosmography that would contain an account of the creation of the world a description of the universe descriptions of the countries and oceans of the world genealogies and political histories of the several countries and a chronology of the cosmos. Only the account of creation the chronology and maps of the known regions of the world came to fruition. Mercator having died before the work came to press it was completed by his heirs and published in 1595 with 107 maps. Leading Amsterdam map publisher Jodocus Hondius 1563-1612 acquired the plates in 1604 and issued the first Mercator-Hondius "Atlas" in 1606 with 37 maps he had engraved added to the original 107. Teacher and Hondius' brother-in-law Pieter van den Berg wrote the introduction and the descriptive text that appears on the versos of the maps. A 1611 edition increased the number of maps to 150 and another six were added in 1619. The hand-colored map included in our copy depicts the South Tyrol and Veneto regions including Lake Garda Verona Padua and Venice. It is accompanied with an essay by Norman J. W. Thrower 1919-2020 UCLA geography professor and cartographer describing the historical background of the atlas. Joel Silver in "Disbound and Dispersed" tells us that "the physical production of this leaf book is superb from the design by Vance Gerry to the presswork of Patrick Reagh.". Stone & Lorson unknown

Maps of the period issued by the GSGS Geographical Section General Staff use a 7-colour tint scale to distinguish altitude and a glossary that highlights towns of significance and other standout features which provided steady references for army personnel to aid navigation in the challenging conditions of the region. The Bander Abbas map was compiled by the US Army Map Service Corps of Engineers from a number of sources including USAF Aeronautical Approach Charts of 1951-55 and the US Geological Survey of the Arabian Peninsula 1958. The Hofuf chart is based inter alia on 512 Field Survey Royal Engineers charts 1942-4. WorldCat lists just three individual copies for Hofuf NG39 SUNY at Buffalo University of Notre Dame and Eastern Illinois University alongside four copies of Bandar Abbas NG40 University of Exeter University of Notre Dame Eastern Illinois University and University of South Florida.

1928List1922Bahia 1928. Folded map. Fine condition. Fine. Teodoro Sampaio was an Afro-Brazilian cartographer engineer politician and historian who was very active in Brazil particularly in Bahia during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Offered here is Sampaio’s map of Bahia from 1928 which updates a map he produced in 1899 of the same region with updates of the settlement of the region including a detailed inset of the city of BBahio de Todos os Santos on the lower right corner. At the time of the map’s production Sampaio was an authority on Brazilian geography being a member of the Instituto Geográfico e Histórico da Bahia serving as president in 1922 and a member of the Instituto Histórico e Geográfico Brasileiro and the Instituto Geográfico e Histórico da Bahia and publishing several books on Brazilian geography. The period between 1899 when the first edition of this map was published and 1928 saw the development of rubber plantations in Bahia and the map provides detail on the region’s roads and population centers. We find no publicly held examples of this edition and one copy of the 1899 edition at Princeton though we do find a reference to this edition at the Brazilian National Archives. unknown

J.M. de Beaufort a war correspondent for the London Daily Telegraph and New York American during World War I recounted his wartime adventures in the 1917 book "Behind the German Veil: A Record of a Journalistic War Pilgrimage." Originally arriving in Chicago in 1909 he married a steel magnate's daughter and pursued a career in show business. However by 1912 he had gone through a divorce and transitioned to newspaper work earning the moniker of the "Dude Reporter." Originally born in the Netherlands as Jacques Albert Uilenbroek he was thought to be a deserter. He spent the latter part of his life in the United States apparently jailed in San Francisco for a stint in the 1920s and eventually settled in Los Angeles. <br /> Offered here is an interesting smattering of material from the life of the mysterious De Beaufort which bookends his most unusual career and life with a large visual photographic record of his life in Europe as a young man and over a hundred pages of manuscript material from late in his life with a highlight being several maps in draft form for an apparently unpublished project called “Of Men and Maps.†As a group the material shows the work of an ex-con artist and war correspondent trying to regain his form while living in Los Angeles. He was still writing as a “Special Correspondent†at this point though the title seems to have been fully honorary. Also included are two small pocket journals with sporadic notations from his life in Europe in 1900 and in 1917. In its entirety the group gives an interesting visual and manuscript record of a literary fraudulent and imaginative transatlantic life and intellect. <br /> The cartographic highlight of the group is several iterations of a large map called “Whither Russia†in varied forms which show an interesting interpretation of the sphere of influence of the USSR and its growth from 1939 to 1946. Also included are two drafts of a map of Operation Market-Garden in the Netherlands in 1944 an unidentifed tactical map of a military battlefield a map called “Middle East Jackpot†showing the division of territory between the Allied and Axis powers a map called “Dawn’s Early Light some reproduced small format maps from the De Beaufort’s and a small map called “Gifts from Yalta.†De Beaufort was working on these maps for a column called “Of Men Maps and Memories†that was published in the East Los Angeles Tribune. He also sent the columns out in newsletter form from his address at 1635 N. Ogden Drive in Los Angeles. <br /> The collection of manuscripts drafts and retained correspondence tackle a range of subjects perhaps most interestingly those detailing De Beaufort’s creative process - drafts of stories lists of ideas for stories and letters. His over the top style is on display in a lot of the writings some of which are of unknown origin and purpose. The documents contain correspondence between De Beaufort and Edwin Pauley the oil man and presidential advisor. In one untitled essay he asks himself the question “What has been your most thrilling experience†and his reply is “ Silly questions. Who or at least what newspaperman of some 25 turbulent years standing - and falling - could answer such a question. A reporter’s life has a thousand thrills. There was that rainy day in Marcy 1915 in the fortress of Loetzen when I stood face to face with Hindenburg. Hm yes that was quite a thrill…†De Beaufort was entrenched in the Los Angeles journalistic scene at this point and the documents show the degree to which he relied on his former glories to attempt various career revitalizations endeavors. <br /> The album of photographs from 1906-1909 over 400 in total give a visual record of the young Uilenbroek’s life in Europe. The star of the collection is his bulldog Bob who travels throughout Europe with him and eventually comes to America by 1907. Mary who we presume to be his future wife is featured heavily in the images. It is unclear whether he was working at this point the images show affluent young people and their dog in varied cities and are purely of a personal nature. Other photographs laid in are relics from his war correspondent period. The loose photographs and ephemera are a mix of portraits from different periods from his life including two pictures of Sydney Turing Barlow Lawson one signed by his widow. The journals are sporadically filled and hard to decipher though one legible passage says “drinking all day.â€<br /> Overall the group gives evidence of this intriguing life and is the only extant group of material relating to Beaufort to our knowledge with the exception of a single journal from his time in Belgium during WWI that was sold at Bonhams and is still available in the trade as of this writing. unknown
