First edition thus stated “New Edition†which in actuality was an updated and revised edition with new engraved plates executed by W.G. Evans of New York fl. 1830-1845 who also engraved the famed Map of Lewis & Clark’s Track Across the Western Portion of North America in 1842 revised by Archibald M’Vickar. Burritt 1794-1838 an American astronomer and mathematician created his textbook and the later atlas as a low-cost alternative to celestial globes which were often too expensive for many schools in Jacksonian America. The atlas could be purchased for $ 1.25 at the time and the Geography of the Heavens textbooks and Atlases would prove immensely popular in classrooms up until 1876. Adapting most of his constellation figures from Alexander Jamieson’s A Celestial Atlas 1822 Burritt included a plan of the Solar System Celestial maps of the skies in January-March October-December April-June July-September South Pole North Pole and Planisphere of the Whole Heavens on Mercator’s Projection. This was the last decorative celestial reference in the 19th century and even served as inspiration of H.P. Lovecraft who notes it as prized possession in letter to Maurice Moe in 1915.

194764270Portland OR: Oregon Blue Print Co. 1947-1959. Oblong atlas folio. 21 x 17.5 in. 52 leaves not contiguously numbered. all dyazo-print whjteprint maps w/ first consisting of a large folding “Oswego Oregon Street Map†many leaves w/ creasing corners worn some with closed tears secured at gutter margin w/ 4 brass split-pins over thick brown paper stock still a VG- exemplar. First edition thus of this exceedingly rare realty atlas for Oswego Oregon chronicling its’ explosive growth following World War II prior to the consolidation with surrounding suburbs and renaming as the City of Lake Oswego in 1960. These real estate atlases were sold in installments to Lake Oswego & Portland area real estate agents land use boards and public institutions with installments appearing from 1947-1959 but the Oswego atlas sheets are far scarcer than even the very rare Portland issues. Oswego and surrounding suburbs such as Alto Park Acres Forest Hills Lake Grove Rainbow Terrace Uplands Crest and Woodmont were all developed initially by the Ladd Estate Company which first platted the area with Paul C. Murphy overseeing the design with the aid of of Frederick & John Olmsted to create a park like setting around the Lake. This atlas with key map opening details the evolution from 1947-1959 the street-by-street and plat-by-plat of the surrounding area providing essential information on the emergence of these suburbs from the original donation land claims as the city grew from about 1500 to over 10000 by 1959. The more than 100 new residential plats created from the original donation land claims throughout the Lake Oswego area including the plats on the south side of South Shore Drive which created the Palisades Neighborhood and just prior to the July 2 1959 annexation which brought all of Oswego Lake parts of Lake Grove Palisades and others in the Lake Grove Sanitary District all evolve through these maps. Researchers can trace the evolution of the Portland-Salem Expressway later called the Baldock Freeway and further developed into the I-5 corridor alongside Lake Oswego along with the rapid growth of the area. Original Donation Land Claims are clearly demarcated including those of Charles Brown Bryant Waters Carman Albert Durham and many others. Oregon Blue Print Co. was established on SE Hawthorne in Portland OR by the early 1940’s and were the printers for the Pittmon maps which were extensively used and continually updated in the Portland area. Under Walter & Min Underwood the company focused on blueprinting and engineering plans as well as land promotion brochures and street maps. Company still remains family owned. It appears that later versions of the Oswego Oregon Street Map were used as land promotion brochures and some early versions do survive in holdings of Lake Oswego City Government and 1 in OHS but no other examples are located in Worldcat. No similar versions of this atlas have survived in institutional holdings that this cataloguer could identify accurately.

189715960New York: Sanborn-Perris Map Co. 1897. Third edition with additions. Hardcover. Good overall. Folio published in November 1897 with 18 hand colored maps including a title page on the key map. This is the third edition of the atlas according to the Library of Congress Census the first edition being published in 1886 but with only 13 sheets. The second edition was published in 1891 with an extra 2 sheet making a total of 16 sheets. Small private library stamp on the verso of the key map. There are very small pencil annotations on the maps obviously by F.J. Washburn the local insurance agent. <br /> Originating in London in the mid 18th century insurance maps had become invaluable in the US in the 1860's when Sanborn started work. The company started to standardize the maps and publish them in atlases under the town or city. Each map/sheet measures 21 x 25" and is drawn to a scale of 50 feet to an inch with color applied by hand at the time of publication. Every atlas records all town buildings shown to scale its construction material and use noted as well as fire-proofing thickness of walls elevators chimneys fire alarm boxes hydrants sprinkler systems and a wealth of other detail. Ultimately Sanborn produced maps and atlases for 12000 locations. Being so specific the demand was very slight. The Library of Congress estimates that there were usually fewer than twenty orders for a single sheet so production was small and usually produced for a specific Insurance company or agent. Because of this a very small number of copies of any atlas are offered on the market today. The maxim "if it turns up buy it because you won't find another copy" springs to mind.
