"discovery," a feature which has caused considerable controversy among historians.
Map of Canaan at the times of Abraham and before the conquest by the Children of Israel, with the neighboring regions. Oriented to the east. The
shore line runs from Turkey as far as Egypt, and inland from the Mediterranean as far as Babylonia. The shore line of Palestine is most distorted.

like a catechism, for the children to learn by heart. Gumuchian records this Pirate edition published at Lyons in 1790. The work was pirated not only
in France, but also in Germany, no doubt because of the "blind" maps, which represented quite a new method of teaching geography to children. (Lot

LUFT,H. after, [No title] Daniel's Dream Map., Cologne, 1564, 4.8 x 6.2 inches /12.2 x 15.8 cm, Wood block print
with letter press. Paper slightly age-toned with marginal water staining. Very good condition., (Estimate: $1500 1800)
A somewhat curious map of Europe, Africa, and Asia is to be found in apocalyptic literature originally emanating from Wittenberg in 1530 or even
1529. One of the first impressions of the map was used by the printer Hans Lufft to illustrate two works: one a commentary on the prophet Daniel by
Martin Luther (1530) and another linking the vision of Daniel with the assaults of the Turks on the perimeters of Christian Europe at the time.
The wood cut map is showing the four beasts of Daniel's Dream Map..This edition of the map is slightly smaller than the first edition, and was
originally printed on a text sheet of Luther's Wittenberg Bible. For this later edition, the woodblock was re-cut and surrounded in an elaborate
picture-frame style border. It was published in a Wittenberg Bible with text above and below the map (page size 385x245mm.)

ORTELIUS, A., A complete set of Ortelius' World and Continents, Antwerp, Chr. Plantin, 1571-1575, 14 x 19.2
inches /35.5 x 48.7 cm, The maps are in very good to mint condition. The map of America with a printers crease.
Large margins, good impression., (Estimate: $20000 - 25000)
An attractive set of these decorative and important maps published at Antwerp in Ortelius' Theatrum.
The maps are very early impressions, with no plate cracks in America and just a very tiny one for the world.
The Theatrum was the first large modern atlas and was extremely influential. The world and four continent maps offered here summarize in a
decorative but powerful way the level of geographical knowledge at the end of the sixteenth century and the mastery of the art which expressed it on
paper.
These five maps are the most sought after combination of maps in the Theatrum.
Typus Orbis Terrarum after Gastaldi and Mercator's great 1569 wall map. The title is given in large letters above the image and below, is a
quotation from Cicero: "What do human affairs signify when one considers the vastness of the world and all eternity?"Americae sive Novi Orbis,
Nova Descriptio is one of the most famous maps of the New World. With a cartouche with sphinxes, masks and mysterious motifs that covers the
South Pacific.Asiae Nova Descriptio is the atlas version of Ortelius' own wall map of Asia, published in 1567, derived from Gastaldi and Albufeda.
Africae Tabula Nova is based on the Gastaldi wall map of 1564. It is embellished with a ferocious sea battle southeast of Madagascar and several
sea monsters in the Atlantic. The drawing of the far eastern coast of Brazil, shown as well below the Equator.Europae derives in large part from
Mercator's work. Russia from Jenkinson's map and Scandinavia from Olaus Magnus. The relatively modest cartouche shows partially covered and
apparently distraught Europe sitting on the back of a placid Zeus as bull, both gazing toward Europe. ¤ (Lot number: 24927)
ORTELIUS,A., Typus Orbis Terrarum, Antwerp, 1579, 13.4 x 19.7 inches /34 x 50 cm, Good, it has some small
restaurations at the centerfold and 1" left of centerfold (there was an extra fold), (Estimate: $6500 - 7000)
Ortelius' beautiful oval world map is a simplified version of Mercator's influential map of 1569. From surviving correspondence it is known that
Mercator encouraged Ortelius and provided him with information, particularly with co-ordinates of places in the Americas. This is the first state of
Ortelius' third world map updated with the more correct shape of South America and the first depiction of the Solomon Islands off the coast of New
Guinea. North America is nearly bissected by a lengthy St. Lawrence River, and the lands of Anian Regnum and Quivira are noted on the western
coast. The Atlantic Ocean is filled with phantom islands, including Frieslant, St. Brandain, Brasil and many others. A huge Southern Continent
incorporates Tierra del Fuego, and the mythical lands of Beach, Maletur and Lucach. The oval projection is surrounded by an intricate strapwork
design and four corner medallions containing quotations from Cicero and Seneca. Latin text on verso. (Lot number: 80312)
APIANUS, P. / FRISIUS., [Old world], Venice, c.1580, 4.4 x 4.3 inches /11.3 x 11 cm, Wood block print within
letter press. Very good condition. Size of paper: 190x155mm., (Estimate: $1200 - 1800)
A charming map of the old world, surrounded with 12 windheads, among three are sculs. From an early small octavo edition of Apianus' hugely
popular work Cosmographicus liber by Petrus Apianus.Apianus' work in its full-length form was first published in 1524. It first appeared in a
popular format in Antwerp in 1532 or 1533. (Lot number: 24992)

36.5 cm, Good margins. Generally in very good condition., (Estimate: $750 - 1200)
Map of the world showing a landmass remarkably like the west coast of Australia and roughly where Australia should be. Lower left an early
representation of America, the Caspian Sea is greatly exaggerated in size. The seas are adorned with sea monsters and many major cities are
indicated and named.
There are several states, of this map: this one with Mare Mediraneum in the Mediterranean Sea and with the bottom right hand corner, missing in
Shirley's example, illustrated in his book.
Bünting's work Itinerarium Sacrae Scriptura was essentially a theological commentary with other maps of great curiosity. German text on verso.
Collectors item! (Lot number: 25010)
ORTELIUS,A., Typus Orbis Terrarum., Antwerp, 1587, 14 x 19.2 inches /35.5 x 48.7 cm, Mint condition. Repair
of small split lower part center fold. Full margins., (Estimate: $11000 - 12000)
Ortelius' third and last world map is dated 1587 under the author's signature. The earlier border of clouds has been replaced by a more intricate and
elegant lattice of strapwork and swag. The oval world map used previously has been updated in two major respects. South America now assumes the
more correct shape anticipated in state 3 of Ortelius' second plate, and the Solomon Isles are marked for the first time.
However, Ortelius shows the northern mainland's of Asia and America as separated by a narrow strait, 200 years prior to Captain Cook's thorough
surveys of the area.
California is properly shown as a peninsula. However, the map reflects the misconception held at the time that Tierra del Fuego was the northern tip
of a massive southern continent. Indicative of its paramount importance, a copy of Ortelius' atlas is thought to have accompanied Sir Francis Drake
on his circumnavigation of the world.
From the third plate only approximately 3200 copies were printed. ¤ (Lot number: 24742)

(Estimate: $550 - 600)
Modern world map from Magini's atlas following the oval projection popularized by Ortelius.
Porro has astutely reduced Ortelius' much larger map to octavo page size with very little loss in legibility.
Six wind heads are arranged around the outside border. Large landmasses above the north of the American and Asian continents called Terra
Incognita.The early edition with the name Terra Incognita.The map comes from a scarce pirate edition published by Petrus Keschedt in Cologne one
year after the publication of Magini's original work. Ortelius informed Magini in November 1597 about this and the publication was stopped till 1608
when a new edition was issued by Keschedt. (Lot number: 24898)

In the top corners are the two ships of the expedition - the Victoria and the Eendracht - and the borders contain portraits of four other
circumnavigators: Francis Drake, Thomas Cavendish, Olivier van Noort and Joris van Spilbergen. (Lot number: 24853)
PLANCIUS, P., Orbis Terrarum Typus de Integro Multis in Locis Emendatus, Amsterdam, ca. 1620, 11.2 x 20.5
inches /28.5 x 52 cm, Expert repairs along outside folds with slight loss and 10% of the map is facsimile,and some
paper replacement (leaf-casting method) in side margins and centerfold. These repairs were skillfully executed and
are only visible on very close inspection., (Estimate: $1800 - 2000)
This handsome world map, first issued in 1590, was based on Rumold Mercator's map of 1587. It incorporates the improvements made by Ortelius
with a re-shaped South America and the inclusion of the Solomon Islands. On this map Plancius introduced new information, based on Portuguese
reports, on the far-west coast of America and the western coastline of Africa. Japan is shown for the first time as one small and three larger islands.
This example is state 2 from a Dutch Bible with the name of Plancius in latin. It was beautifully engraved by Baptista Doetecum and set in a
strapwork surround with a compass rose and armillary sphere tucked between the hemispheres. (Lot number: 80296)

Very rare double hemisphere world map, published by Hulsius. In the corners and between the hemispheres are six medallions of celebrated
navigators - Vespucci, Columbus, Drake, Cavendish, Magellan and Del Cano. The track of Magellan's circumnavigation is marked on the map which
also notes some of Drake's discoveries, such as Anglia Nova in western America. Large southern continent.The German writer Levinus Hulsius
compiled an extensive collection of accounts of explorers' voyages, published ultimately in twenty-six parts.
Eight years after de Bry began the publication of his Great Voyages', Levin Hulsius, stimulated by the success of the Bry's work, began the
publication of a similar collection in quarto. Hulsius is credited with having exercised better judgment in his selections and translations than the de
Bry. ° (Lot number: 24897)

(2x2cm rectangle) and left (3x3cm rectangle)corners with facsimile of border. Upper margin cut till plate mark and
re-inforced. Right hand marging close, and re-inforced.The restoration is extremely well done and only visible on
verso. Basically it sounds worst than it really is., (Estimate: $18000 - 22000)
This stunning carte-a-figures world map on Mercator's projection is one of the most richly decorated maps from the Dutch period of pre-eminence in
cartography. While the cartography is similar to Blaeu, Visscher's map has been updated to show the discoveries around Hudson Bay and shows the
St. Lawrence River extending to a small lake in the middle of North America.
Two polar insets fill the bottom corners and a cartouche in the interior of North America tells of the discovery of America by Columbus, but
erroneously dates the voyage to 1592. The magnificent panels surrounding the map include twelve Roman emperors on richly caparisoned horses at
the top and bottom, and six groups of national figures and six vignettes of principal cities at the sides.
The corners are filled with female allegorical representations of the continents; Europa in a pastoral setting, Asia seated on a camel, America as a
warrior queen riding an armadillo, and Africa reclining on a crocodile. The map originated in 1639, this being the 1652 issue with Visscher's name
and date near the inset of the South Pole.¤ (Lot number: 15979)

(Estimate: $1100 - 1500)
An unusual double hemisphere hydrological map of the world - the earliest of the world prepared by the great French mapmaker Nicolas Sanson.
Of particular interest is the outline of Beach or Australia, which has taken on a more insular form, reflecting a hazy knowledge of current Dutch
discoveries, while two different version of New Guinea's coast are shown. The Distrait d'Anian now just north of the island of California. (Lot

This map is based on Arnold Colom's wonderfully graphic map from the first world maritime atlas. In the Western Hemisphere the Island of
California is separated from Nova Albion, which stretches towards Asia and off the map. The western coast of New Zealand appears, as do several
other important Pacific islands. Australia is partially mapped and only the southern tip of Tasmania appears. Superb engravings surround the map
with six statuesque female allegorical representations of the goddesses of Day and Night and the elements of Fire, Air, Water and Earth. Each
hemisphere includes a strap work cartouche. The Dutch title appears in the cartouche in the Eastern Hemisphere. Meurs' map was later copied by
Van der Aa, which is more commonly available. (Lot number: 22019)

First state of this map from a Dutch Bible published by the renowned house of Elzevier. Superb double hemisphere world map, surrounded by
engravings including allegorical representations of the continents as well as native inhabitants and wildlife. Visscher's decorations were so popular,

Pieter Goos’ maritime atlases were held to be among the finest printed at the time and were often added to the nine or twelve volumes of Blaeu’s
Atlas Maior. Goos’ general map is of like quality. The two expertly engraved hemispheres geographically follow those by Goos’ predecessors,
Visscher and Blaeu. At the top of the map birds large and small -- including a goose -- fly in the beams of a resplendent sun. Beneath, a gracefully
composed group of figures represents the four seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter. The map as a whole is particularly well-balanced and
pleasing” (Lot number: 24793)

California as an island. According to Shirley, Valck’s Mappe Monde was probably copied from Jaillot’s influential world map of 1674, but in
contrast to the plain corners of Jaillot’s map, Valck has engraved four striking baroque scenes as a surround. These, representing joyous spring,
industrious summer, bucolic autumn and icy winter, are accompanied by north and south polar circles. This is the first use of these corner scenes,
which would re-appear on every world map which Gerard Valck would later publish, including his monumental eight-sheet Nova Totius Terrarum

A large map of the world in two hemispheres, east and west, showing the climatic zones. The geographic content is relegated to the background,
placing emphasis on the grid of parallels and meridians, along with the equator, tropics of cancer and Capricorn, polar circles, and ecliptic (with signs
of the zodiac).
In the northern half of the eastern hemisphere six lines are running from the equator at the centre of the hemisphere to the polar region, the first
labelled "Ligne du Grands Jours des Petits Climats." A compass rose appears at top centre, and a key to the signs of the zodiac above the eastern
hemisphere. The text labels the various lines and circles, indicates the climatic zones, and defines several terms (such as "antipodes").
The map was first issued by Nicolas Sanson I (d'Abbeville), dated 1659, in his first world atlas, Cartes Générales de toutes les parties du monde,
1658 (Pastoureau, Sanson V A, map 3). It continued to appear in later editions of the atlas, but "chez l'autheur" remained in the imprint even when
the plate was revised after Sanson's death in 1667.
The map in its present state (dated 1690 and with the address "aux Galleries du Louvre") probably appeared in the 1692 edition (Pastoureau, Sanson
V H, contents not itemized), published by Sanson's sons with the"aux Galleries du Louvre" address.With the texts in the two hemispheres highlighted
in green, yellow, red and brown, and with a few pencil annotations.

One of a series of celestial maps drawn by Johann Gabriel Doppelmayr, engraved by Homann and published in the Atlas Coelistis by Homann's
Heirs.Doppelmayr was an astronomer of high repute. He was born at Nuremberg in 1671 and was educated at Halle University.
He was a professor of mathematics in his native city for nearly fifty years, and for some time made a speciality of lunar observations' (Brown,
Astronomical Atlases, Maps and Charts p. 51).
His reputation was such as to gain him memberships in the Academia Caesarea Leopoldina, the academies of Berlin and St. Petersburg, and the
Royal Society of London ... His major work is the Atlas novus coelestis ...
Besides star charts and a selenographic map, Doppelmayr's Atlas includes diagrams illustrating the planetary systems of Copernicus, Tycho, and

This is the sixth chart in a series of six depicting part of the night sky on a gnomonic projection with 'the fixed stars for the end of the year of Christ
1730 'according to the rules of arithmetic and geometry.'
The constellations are shown as figures according to classical mythology and the zodiac as derived from Hevelius. The more recently named
constellations are shown as scientific instruments. The paths of several comets are traced following a pattern established by Pardies.
Specifically this chart is an internal view of the sky centred on the equator above the winter solstice in a gnomonic projection between the
declinations 45° North and 45° South. Also depicted are the paths of the comets C/1577 V1 (observed by Tycho Brahe), 1P/1607 S1 [Halley s
Comet] (Johannes Kepler), C/1661 C1 (Johannes Hevelius), C/1680 V1 (John Flamsteed), C/1702 H1 (Philippe de la Hire) and C/1707 W1
(Giovanni Domenico Cassini).
The comet of 1692 (observed by Philippe de la Hire) does not seem to be mentioned in modern cometographies.

born in Nuremberg in 1671, studied in Altdorf and Halla and travelled for some time in Germany, the Netherlands and England. Doppelmayer wrote
on astronomy, geography, cartography, spherical trigonometry, sundials and mathematical instruments. He often collaborated with the cartographer
Johann Baptista Homann (1664-1724), a former Dominican monk from Oberkammlach in Schwabia who in 1688 had settled in Nuremberg and
became a map engraver for the publishing firms of Jacob von Sandrart and David Funck.
In 1702, Homann founded an influential cartographic publishing firm that after his death was continued by his son Johann Christoph Homann
(1703-1730) and after the latter s death by his friend Johann Michael Franz (1700-1761) and his stepsister's husband Johann Georg Ebersberger
(1695-1760) under the name Homännische Erben . (Lot number: 22795)

An unusual comparative view of the earth rotated at various angles noting the equator and other circles dividing the earth’s surface.
This chart is by the famous astronomer, professor of mathematics and cartographer J. G. Doppelmayer (1677-1750) and clearly illustrates the various
theories and observations of the heavens and the solar system as perceived in the early 18th century.
In the top corners are two armillary spheres.
A celestial sphere noting several constellations is shown in the lower left, and a terrestrial sphere is at the lower right. (Lot number: 22799)

This is the fifth chart in a series of six depicting part of the night sky on a gnomonic projection with 'the fixed stars for the end of the year of Christ
1730 'according to the rules of arithmetic and geometry.
The constellations are shown as figures according to classical mythology and the zodiac as derived from Hevelius. The more recently named
constellations are shown as scientific instruments.
The paths of several comets are traced following a pattern established by Pardies.
Specifically this chart is an internal view of the sky centered on the equator above the winter solstice in a gnomonic projection between the
declinations 45° North and 45° South.
Also depicted are the paths of the comets C/1577 V1 (observed by Tycho Brahe), 1P/1607 S1 [Halley s Comet] (Johannes Kepler), C/1661 C1
(Johannes Hevelius), C/1680 V1 (John Flamsteed), C/1702 H1 (Philippe de la Hire) and C/1707 W1 (Giovanni Domenico Cassini).
The comet of 1692 (observed by Philippe de la Hire) does not seem to be mentioned in modern cometographies.

From theAtlas moderne ou collection de cartes sur toutes les parties du globe terrestre...Rigobert Bonne (1727-1795 ) was one of the most important
cartographers of the late 18th century. In 1773 he succeeded Jacques Bellin as Royal Cartographer to France in the office of the Hydrographer at the
Depôt de la Marine. Working in his official capacity Bonne compiled some of the most detailed and accurate maps of the period. Bonne’s work
represents an important step in the evolution of the cartographic ideology away from the decorative work of the 17th and early 18th century towards
a more detail oriented and practical aesthetic. With regard to the rendering of terrain Bonne maps bear many stylistic similarities to those of his
predecessor, Bellin. However, Bonne maps generally abandon such common 18th century decorative features such as hand coloring, elaborate
decorative cartouches, and compass roses. While mostly focusing on costal regions, the work of Bonne is highly regarded for its detail, historical
importance, and overall aesthetic appeal. (Lot number: 24285)

An especially rare and beautiful hemisphere map of the Americas, with exquisite calligraphy and superb portraits of Columbus, Magellan, Vespucci
and Pizarro adorning the corners amidst nautical scenes. Based on Plancius' 18 sheet hemisphere of 1592, especially along the Northwest coast.
South America has an unusual pointed tip, entirely different from Ortelius, Mercator, or de Jode.
Newfoundland is depicted as a single island based on the information of Cornelis Claesz and Lasso.
Most significantly, this is the first Western Hemisphere map to incorporate the White - le Moyne cartography in Virginia.
The map appeared in Part VI of the Grand Voyages, which is the last part actually issued by de Bry (Parts VII to XII appeared only after his death).
De Bry's map achieved a cartographic success that eluded de Jode, Wytfliet and others who tried to incorporate the new knowledge gained from the
maps of White for Virginia and Le Moyne for Florida and who included between the areas covered by those maps the conception of the east coast
from earlier Spanish maps (e.g. Diego Gutierrez).
This implied that parts of the coast were incorporated twice (once crudely) and had the double effect of placing White's Virginia above the Spanish
version of Cape Cod and of forcing an enormous eastern extension of North America. ¤ (Lot number: 24987)

This map was originally one map of a separate-issue set of world and continents with decorative borders first published in 1618. After the death of
the elder son of Jodocus Hondius, many of his plates were sold by his widow to Blaeu, but this plate stayed with the family. In 1631 Henricus put
his own name on the plate and added the 1636 date: it is likely that it was at this time that the decorative borders were trimmed off to make the map
fit the standard atlas format.

particular depiction of America, stylized by the inset maps of the two polar regions.”

Willem Blaeu's cornerstone map of America. One of the examples of a carte a figures, this map served as a prototype for maps of the Western
Hemisphere for over half a century. This map was originally published as a separate sheet, but amended for inclusion in Blaeu’s atlas, the most
significant change being the addition of the Le Maire Strait. The map itself is surrounded by nine New World city views of the Americas on top and
costumed figures of the inhabitants of Virginia, Florida, California, and South America on the left and right. Blaeu resisted the California as an
Island myth long after it was widely excepted. As such, the map reflects updated cartographical information, yet there is no sign of the Great Lakes.

The delineation of the coast and the nomenclature on both the Pacific and Atlantic coasts are basically Spanish in origin and follow the maps of
Ortelius and Wytfliet.
To these Willem Blaeu has inserted on the East Coast the English names given by the Roanoke colonists in Virginia and by Frobisher, Davis and
Hudson to the far north.
He has added French names in Florida and along the St Lawrence. European geographers still had no knowledge of the extent of the Mississippi.
From the expedition journals of De Soto (1539-43) they had inferred an extensive range of east west trending mountains north of the Gulf of Mexico,
precluding any great river system.

notable for it's representation of North America. Published by Jean Janvier, and engraved by Jean Lattré. The map is justifiably famous for its
depiction of one of the great cartographic "errors" of the 18th century -- a huge inland sea in the Pacific Northwest. The sea was called 'La Mer De
L'Ouest.' Of course, it must be remembered that the search for a Northwest Passage, and a route to the Orient, was of enormous importance in the
18th century, and the existence of such a sea would have made such a passage a reality. The mythical strait of Juan de Fuca leads into the sea. Most
of the western portion of North America can only be described as fanciful, including an East-West mountain range at the southern edge of the sea.

Monumental and important large wall map of the Eastern part of North America with the United States, Central America, and the West Indies.
Centered on the great lakes.
1st published by John Senex in London in 1710, here probably a later state dedicated to Anthony Hammond.
One of the earliest large-scale English maps of the continent. It represents a British attempt to consolidate new information about the region and
borrows data from such recently published sources as Delisle’s landmark Carte du Mexique et de la Floride, especially for the lower portion of the
map. To this information Senex contributed a fine depiction of the Great Lakes region and the most accurate definition of the lower Mississippi River
and its delta by an English cartographer of the period. He also extended the map’s coverage to the far reaches of Canada’s Northwest Territories and
the Terra Incognita above Baffin’s Bay. Present-day Oklahoma and Texas are part of “La Floride,” considered at the time to be a possession of the
French. The Red River and the Indian villages of East Texas are portrayed accurately, but Senex, following Delisle, incorrectly placed many Texas
rivers, in addition to depicting some strange and unrecognizable names. An exceptional product of its era, the map has a spare, clean, carto-scientific
style indicative of that for which Senex was known.

perhaps the most important work ever published on North American Indians. Published by F.W.Greenough, Philadelphia and printed on the original
full folio sheet.
Thomas Lorraine McKenney was Superintendent of Indian Affairs under presidents Madison, Monroe, John Quincy Adams, and Jackson. As a result
of his keen interest in the customs and beliefs of the Indian tribes under his jurisdiction, he commissioned Charles Bird King and several other artists
to paint the portraits of Indians whom he had met or had heard about. With the help of James Hall, a frontier lawyer, judge, newspaper editor, and
author, McKenney assembled the portraits into a coherent representation of Indian life, lore, and costume.
Published as a three-volume portfolio between 1836 and 1842, the hand-coloured lithographs after the paintings are among the only portraits
remaining of this early generation of Indian warriors, statesmen, medicine men, and commoners.
The original paintings, which were on display in the Smithsonian Institution, were destroyed by fine in 1865. (Lot number: 25021)

This hand-coloured lithograph of Mo-Hon-Go, one of only eight women whose portraits appeared in this book. By contrast there were 111 men's

1827 by a man named David Delaunay.
Delaunay presented himself as a representative of the United States Government and friend of William Clark and Manuel Lisa who was to
accompany Osage representatives to Washington, D.C.
Instead, he took them to Europe where he toured them as a primitive wild west show. He abandoned them in Paris. Lafayette learned of their plight
and paid their return passage. Before arriving in Norfolk, Virginia, Mohongo's husband died of smallpox.
The Osage were rescued from Norfolk and brought to Washington, D.C. in 1830 at McKenney's direction.
King painted Mohongo's portrait there before her return to the Osage Nation.

This hand-coloured lithograph of Little-Crow a Sioux Chief. Chief Little Crow was the eldest son of Cetanwakuwa (Charging Hawk). It was on
account of his father's name, mistranslated Crow, that he was called by the whites "Little Crow." His real name was Taoyateduta, His Red People.
As far back as Minnesota history goes, a band of the Sioux called Kaposia (Light Weight, because they were said to travel light) inhabited the Mille
Lacs region. Later they dwelt about St.Croix Falls, and still later near St. Paul. In 1840, Cetanwakuwa was still living in what is now West St. Paul,
but he was soon after killed by the accidental discharge of his gun.
It was during a period of demoralization for the Kaposias that Little Crow became the leader of his people.

of Greenville in 1795 and ending with the Treaty with the Shawnee of 1825.
In the latter treaty the Shawnee sold the last of their lands in Ohio and received lands in the State of Missouri. In this portrait the mutilation of the
subject's ears and addition of trade silver ear cuffs is extreme.

This hand-coloured lithograph of Pushmataha (ca. 1764-5 - 1824) (Choctaw), was a warrior noted for his vengeance on other Native Americans,

cessions of his Nation. He was painted by Charles Bird King on a visit to Washington, D.C. in 1824, shortly before his death from alcoholism and
exposure. He was buried in the Congressional Cemetery with full military honors..
McKenney, Thomas Loraine and James Hall., Hayne-Hudjihini the eagle of delight., Philadelphia, circa
Overall, excellent. Size of paper: 520x360mm., (Estimate: $900 - 1200)
This hand-coloured lithograph of Hayne-Hudjihini the eagle of delight, one of only eight women whose portraits appeared in this book. By contrast
there were 111 men's portraits in it.
"She was young, tall, and finely formed, her face...was the most beautiful we had met with. Her hair was parted across her forehead, and hung down
upon her shoulders. A small jacket of blue cloth was fastened round her shoulder and breast, and a mantle of the same was wrapped around her
body."
This was the way an Indian commissioner recalled the Eagle of Delight after he had met her in the 1830s. A decade before, she had accompanied her
husband Shaumonekusse, an Oto chief, to Washington where she had captivated McKinney, the President, his cabinet, and just about everyone she
met. She was poised and charming, but she was not the sole love of her warrior chief.
The Eagle of Delight was only one of five wives and their husband was getting on in years when the commissioner met him. That day the women
were all "pounding corn, or chattering over the news of the day." The old chief, while eating, "took the opportunity to disburthen his heart" to the
commissioner.
As he moaned, five women were just too much, even the Eagle of Delight. Their "caprices, and the difficulties which he found in maintaining a
proper discipline [made it impossible for him] where there were so many mistresses and but one mister." Unfortunately, no one ever obtained the
Eagle of Delight's version of married life to an old man in a tepee with four other women.
McKenney called her "young, and remarkably handsome...." She died of measles after her return to the west.

to move west of the Mississippi. Most of them refused to go, but by 1831 they were induced to cross the river into Iowa. By 1832, however, they
were back east of the river, attacking frontier settlements. This started the Black Hawk War. After that war they moved west, eventually settling on
reservations in Iowa, Kansas, and Oklahoma. In 1990 there were about 4,775 Sac and Fox in the United States. (Lot number: 23391)

An outstanding view from Milbert's Itinéraire pittoresque du fleuve Hudson et des parties latérales de l'Amérique du Nord. Milbert arrived in the
United States in 1815, with the backing of the Museum of Natural History in Paris, with instructions to explore, record and collect as much
information about the topography, social history, and flora and fauna of the north east of the country as possible. The task took him seven years, and
in addition to the 8,000 natural history specimens he sent back to France, he made a series of highly significant sketches of the areas through which
he travelled.
The present image, an important early example of the use of lithography for topographical prints, is part of this eye-witness record of life in America
in the early 19th century which forms the most comprehensive and accurate depiction of the country at the time.
As 'an artist, Milbert loved to paint American landscapes, particularly those that showed the Hudson, "King of Rivers", flowing majestically through
the mountains... the pictures of what he saw, as of the time he drew them, constitute a unique and valuable record' (Sherman, A French Explorer in

In 1781, he was invited by the Bourbon rulers of the Kingdom of Naples to direct the Topographical Office, among the first governmental
cartographic agencies in Europe. There he produced celebrated land and maritime atlases of the region, as well as many separately issued maps. (Lot

Patanca Bay, Cuba illustrates the events in 1628 when the Dutch buccaneer Pieter Heyn captured the Spanish silver fleet. (Size of the print is
185x39,5cm)
Vignette portraits of General Pieter Heyn and Admiral Cornelius Long overlook the scene.
The Dutch are shown in the foreground of the map, with the Spanish trapped further in the Bay. The Spanish had been gathering in Patanca Bay to
begin their long voyage across the Atlantic to Spain, after having rendezvoused in Cuba with the riches from the numerous silver mines within the
Spanish New World possessions.
The Dutch were able to seize the tremendous wealth that these Spanish ships contained. This view succinctly captures the world-wide struggle that
was underway during this period for economic dominance among the Spanish, Dutch, French, British and other European powers.
In lower left corner a map of Cuba who identifies Havana and numerous other place names: "Das eylandt Cuba mit deroselben gelegenheit".
A numbered key identifies the fleets and 20 ships with their captains.
The map was first published as a broadsheet to record this famous event. The map also appeared in De Bry's Grand Voyages Part XIV. as published
by Merian in Frankfurt. ¤

ultimately to the discovery and conquest of the Inca empire which extended over wide areas of modern Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia and part of Chile.
Pizarro obtained from Atahuallpa, the head of the Inca empire, a huge ransom of silver and gold that made Spain rich almost beyond the most
inventive dreams of the Spanish conquerors, and once the mountain city of Cuzco was captured in 1533, the Spanish hold over much of South

Copper engraved map of Asia in the form of a Pegasus. This is a very rare issue of the map from a Czech edition. The original woodcut map was
re-engraved on copper with a stippled sea and the inclusion of several additional embellishments including a coat of arms.
The seas are adorned with sea monsters and many major cities are indicated and named.
Bünting's work Itinerarium Sacrae Scriptura.. was essentially a theological commentary with other maps of great curiosity.The title of this map is
Asia Secunda Pars Terrae in Forma Pegasi (’Asia, the Second Part of the Earth, in the Form of Pegasus‘). The winged horse of Greek mythology is
the son of Poseidon and Medusa, was tamed by Athena and became the horse of the Muses. This obviously pagan origin of the image makes its
appearance in a Holy Land travel book a bit of a mystery.On this map, Pegasus is drawn realistically – i.e. Asia is adjusted to horse-shape.
- Asia’s front legs, touching Africa with the knees, constitute Arabia.
- Its head, licking Europe, is Asia Minor (present-day Turkey).
- The Tigris and Euphrates rivers run down its neck, on which is marked the area of Mesopotamia.
- Another river indicated, at the horse’s thigh, is the Ganges, with India Infra Gangem (‘India before the Ganges’) to the west and India Extra
Gangem (‘India across the Ganges’).
- The horse’s behind is India Orientalis (’East India‘, which could be used for parts east of present-day India, e.g. Indonesia, formerly the Dutch
East Indies).
- Both hind legs are inscribed with India Meridionalis (’South India’), which doesn’t at all reflect the single-peninsular nature of the Indian
subcontinent.
- The wings are labeled Scythia and Tartaria, names often used to describe the vast unknown areas of Siberia.
- The body of water in between the wings and the horse’s body is the Caspian Sea.

Two woodcut engravings illustrating a Japanese Gentleman and a Japanese Lady. Included in Ballou's Pictorial.The 1840s~50s saw the rapid

illustrations. In the 1840s and 1850s, the illustrations were woodcut engravings.

From theAtlas moderne ou collection de cartes sur toutes les parties du globe terrestre...Rigobert Bonne (1727-1795 ) was one of the most
important cartographers of the late 18th century. In 1773 he succeeded Jacques Bellin as Royal Cartographer to France in the office of the
Hydrographer at the Depôt de la Marine. Working in his official capacity Bonne compiled some of the most detailed and accurate maps of the
period. Bonne’s work represents an important step in the evolution of the cartographic ideology away from the decorative work of the 17th and
early 18th century towards a more detail oriented and practical aesthetic. With regard to the rendering of terrain Bonne maps bear many stylistic
similarities to those of his predecessor, Bellin. However, Bonne maps generally abandon such common 18th century decorative features such as
hand coloring, elaborate decorative cartouches, and compass roses. While mostly focusing on costal regions, the work of Bonne is highly
regarded for its detail, historical importance, and overall aesthetic appeal. (Lot number: 24239)

due to the eastern coastline never curving back in, instead continuing in almost a straight line to the horn of Africa. (Lot number: 90328)

PAR J. LUILLIER Mise aujour par le Sr. G. Danet A PARIS
Pont Notre Dame a la Sphere Royale Avec privilege du Roy. A large, very decorative and rare copperplate map by J. Luillier, revisited and
published by Guilliame Danet in Paris, 1732. The map layout is curious, as the "centerfold" is not as expected in the center of the map, but rather
about a third from the left margin, with two extra folds afterwards to the right. The present map has many interesting decorative features. In the
upper left is a stunning, large title cartouche with name of the cartographer, Danet and the date, 1732, showing a white lady and a black man
(probably a freed slave, as he holds broken chains in his hands) and some animals (the head of a lion, a serpent, a scorpion and some shells). There is
also a basket filled with tusks. The border of the map is composed of a sea shell decor with coast-of-arms of various countries, including Europe. In
the upper right part is part of India and the Maldives. In the lower left side north eastern Brazil is shown. There is a small "advertisement" in the
lower right corner. Danet was the son in law to Nicolas de Fer and was one of the successors to him. This map is not listed in either Norwich or
Tooley’s Maps of the African Continent. The map has narrow margins, and a few repaired marginal tears. Due to the short margins some of the
tears ended up in the borders, but the map has not had long tears into the image or any other damage. (Lot number: 90326)

Le Rouge was an eighteenth-century French hydrographer and cartographer appointed Ingenieur Geographe du Roi to King Louis XV. He was a
military engineer who specialized in a wide range of subjects including plans of fortifications, military campaigns and town plans, as well as the
more usual atlases and sea charts. This map is clearly based on the continent maps of fellow Frenchmen De Lisle and Robert de Vaugondy. (See
Norwich Map 74). Much of the usual ornamentation has disappeared from the map as well as most of the fictitious lakes and rivers. Nice
cartouche featuring elephants and a very European looking man on a horse, holding a spear. Excellent condition, with period correct, soft

Reynolds, with his name engraved in the lower right margin. A copy of the title page is included. Typical map from late 18th century geography
books, with the cartography usually based on DeLisle or Vaugondy, although not many geography book maps had such a nice cartouche. The
cartouche has a native, surrounded by tusks, sitting on a crocodile. The native wrestling the crocodile was introduced into cartouches by DeLisle
in his 1700 continent map.(See Norwich Map 59 and 74.) The map here has similarities with Norwich Map 94, which is an edition of the
Vaugondy continent map. (Lot number: 90337)

atlas. On his death he was succeeded by his son Joan (1596-1673). Joan produced a number of fine town books of the Netherlands and Italy,
works without parallel. The 'Atlas Major', often found in the loveliest contemporary colour, finally incorporated over 650 of the most up to date

Nicolas Sanson was to bring about the rise of French cartography, although the fierce competition of the Dutch would last until the end of the
century. His success was partly owing to the partnership with the publisher Pierre Mariette. In 1644 the latter had purchased the business of Melchior
Tavernier, and helped Sanson with financial support in producing the maps. In 1657 Pierre Mariette died, however his son, also named Pierre,
co-published the following years. (Lot number: 13054)

Gerard De Jode was the great rival of Ortelius, both made a living out of selling maps, and it seems not always on good terms. It is probable that
Ortelius was responsible for a delay in the publication of Gerard de Jode's Speculum. Gerard De Jode, 18 years older than Ortelius, owned many
more copper-plates for maps than Ortelius had. Ortelius did not employ highly paid engravers as De Jode had done.
De Jode received the ecclesiastical imprimatur in 1573, but it was not until 1579 that the first copies of the Speculum were sold at Plantin's shop, and
only very few copies were sold. Now-a-days only a few atlases from the first and only edition are known to exist.
After the death of Gerard in 1591, the business was carried on by his widow and his son Cornelis, who re-issued the Speculum in 1593, most plates
were newly engraved. (Lot number: 24791)

L’une des premières cartes routières de France, vers 1640Combinaison d’itinéraires rayonnant autour de quelques grands centres --- Paris,
Lyon, Rouen, Toulouse, Bordeaux ---, la Carte générale de toutes les postes de France montre la configuration du réseau des services routiers
mis à la disposition des courriers officiels et des voyageurs fortunés à la fin du règne du roi Louis XIII. Rééditée régulièrement et mise à jour
jusqu’à la Révolution en fonction des listes annuelles des relais de la poste, elle est un précieux témoin de l’évolution du réseau routier aux
XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles.
Publiée en 1632 par l'éditeur d'estampes Melchior Tavernier et copiée peu après par un autre éditeur d’estampes, Nicolas Berey (1610?-1665), la
première carte des routes de poste du royaume de France fut dressée par le géographe du roi Nicolas Sanson (1600-1667).
Nicolas Berey lui donna un caractère plus attractif en y faisant graver, dans les marges latérales, une série de vignettes représentant en plan, en
profil ou en vue perspective, les dix principales villes du royaume. La bordure supérieure est ornée, en outre, d’une gravure représentant deux
coches se dirigeant en toute hâte vers Paris. ¤ (Lot number: 24710)

Rare map depicting part of Provence with Avignon, Cavaillon, Orange, Carpentras, etc.Gerard De Jode was the great rival of Ortelius, both made
a living out of selling maps, and it seems not always on good terms. It is probable that Ortelius was responsible for a delay in the publication of
Gerard de Jode's Speculum. Gerard De Jode, 18 years older than Ortelius, owned many more copper-plates for maps than Ortelius had. Ortelius
did not employ highly paid engravers as De Jode had done.
De Jode received the ecclesiastical imprimatur in 1573, but it was not until 1579 that the first copies of the Speculum were sold at Plantin's shop,
and only very few copies were sold. Now-a-days only a few atlases from the first and only edition are known to exist. Also single leaves are an
utmost rarity.
After the death of Gerard in 1591, the business was carried on by his widow and his son Cornelis, who re-issued the Speculum in 1593, most
plates were newly engraved. (Lot number: 24799)

Bonne (1727-1795 ) was one of the most important cartographers of the late 18th century. In 1773 he succeeded Jacques Bellin as Royal
Cartographer to France in the office of the Hydrographer at the Depôt de la Marine. Working in his official capacity Bonne compiled some of
the most detailed and accurate maps of the period. Bonne’s work represents an important step in the evolution of the cartographic ideology away
from the decorative work of the 17th and early 18th century towards a more detail oriented and practical aesthetic. With regard to the rendering
of terrain Bonne maps bear many stylistic similarities to those of his predecessor, Bellin. However, Bonne maps generally abandon such common
18th century decorative features such as hand coloring, elaborate decorative cartouches, and compass roses. While mostly focusing on costal
regions, the work of Bonne is highly regarded for its detail, historical importance, and overall aesthetic appeal. (Lot number: 24250)

The walled center of the city is depicted with its many churches and filled with people and horse-drawn sleighs, others of which are shown, along
with skiers, on the river to the right.

In the 18th century the "optical print" or "vue optique" came into existence, whose exaggerated converging lines were intended to produce the optical
illusion of deep recession. The viewing devices for which these perspective prints were produced consisted of a lens and a mirror, this requiring the
use of reversed or mirror-image pictures.

(Estimate: $1500 - 1800)
Among the most striking of early cartographic curiosities is this woodcut of Europe regina or Queen of the world. This is a simplified version of
Johannes Bucius' representation.
HISPANIA (Spain) is shown in the figure's crown in acknowledgement of its dominance. GALLIA (France) is the upper chest. GERMANIA is the
bosom. ITALIA is Europe’s right arm, with SICILIA being the globus cruciger, the cross-bearing orb signifying world power throughout the Middle
Ages.
DANIA (Denmark) is the left arm of Europe, holding what appears to be a ceremonial sword, another classic piece of regalia.
BOHEMIA (the Czech lands) is a circular area close to Europe’s stomach.
VNGARIA (Hungary) and SCLAVONIA (land of the southern Slavs) are the right thigh and VANDALIA (probably a reference to the Wends, a
collective name for Slavic peoples in present-day eastern Germany) and POLONIA form the left thigh of Europe.
LITHVANIA must be about the spot of Europe’s left knee.
LIVONIA, MACEDONIA , BVLGARIA, MOSCOVIA, MOREA (the mediaeval name for the Peloponnese peninsula), GRAECIA, SCYTHIA
(present-day Bulgaria), TARTARIA (parts of present-day Russia) are folds ever further down Europe’s flowing red dress.
The British Isles are shown, but not integrated into the figure. It has been argued that instead of a woman, the map represents Charles V of Spain,
modeling a Europe that had Spain as its crown. (Lot number: 24785)

Wood block map of Asia in the form of a Pegasus. The seas are adorned with sea monsters and many major cities are indicated and named. There are
several states, of this map.
Bünting's work Itinerarium Sacrae Scriptura.. was essentially a theological commentary with other maps of great curiosity.The title of this map is
Asia Secunda Pars Terrae in Forma Pegasi (’Asia, the Second Part of the Earth, in the Form of Pegasus‘). The winged horse of Greek
mythology is the son of Poseidon and Medusa, was tamed by Athena and became the horse of the Muses. This obviously pagan origin of the
image makes its appearance in a Holy Land travel book a bit of a mystery.On this map, Pegasus is drawn realistically – i.e. Asia is adjusted to
horse-shape.
- Asia’s front legs, touching Africa with the knees, constitute Arabia.
- Its head, licking Europe, is Asia Minor (present-day Turkey).
- The Tigris and Euphrates rivers run down its neck, on which is marked the area of Mesopotamia.
- Another river indicated, at the horse’s thigh, is the Ganges, with India Infra Gangem (‘India before the Ganges’) to the west and India Extra
Gangem (‘India across the Ganges’).
- The horse’s behind is India Orientalis (’East India‘, which could be used for parts east of present-day India, e.g. Indonesia, formerly the Dutch
East Indies).
- Both hind legs are inscribed with India Meridionalis (’South India’), which doesn’t at all reflect the single-peninsular nature of the Indian
subcontinent.
- The wings are labeled Scythia and Tartaria, names often used to describe the vast unknown areas of Siberia.
- The body of water in between the wings and the horse’s body is the Caspian Sea. (Lot number: 25008)

BIBLE, Leaf on vellum from a manuscript Bible., France, ca.1250, 6.7 x 4.7 inches /17 x 12 cm, A bit smudged

Manuscript Bible leaf on vellum, more than 700 years old!! Probably from France.
The Bible has, of course, always been the center of Christianity from the beginning, but as a book it was always in parts : to be read at certain times.
The priests and monks studied the Psalms, or the Gospels, or the Minor Prophets, for instance. In Paris the birth of the Bible as one book took place,
around 1200. There the Bible was put in a single volume, the order and names of the biblical books were standardized, and the text was checked for
accuracy. For the first time the text was divided up into numbered chapters. The name that is attached to this is Stephen Langton, he of the Magna
Charta!
More important for us : the physical appearance of the book changed! The pages became very small, the scribes employed headings at the top of the
page and used blue and red initials to mark the beginning of each chapter. ( There was not yet a division into verses, this happened in the 16th
century.)
It is thought that the Franciscan and Dominican friars, when they travelled preaching through Europe, spread the use of the Bible in one volume, and
the Bibles were produced in such quantities that two centuries later they were still in use. ( For more on this subject see : A history of illuminated
manuscripts, by Christopher De Hamel, whose work was used for this information.)
The text is in two columns, 50 lines, with 2 initials with pen work in red and blue. The name of the book is in red and blue letters at the top of the
page.
The text is from the last part of Matthew and the beginning of Mark. See the pretty initials M and I

Brunet notes that even though Kerver printed many different Books of Hours, his work is less common than that of his colleagues, Simon Vostre and
the Hardouins. Brunet suspects that is because fewer copies on vellum were printed, and paper copies were destroyed. This may also account for the
rarity of the present leaf.

Germain Hardouyn, with his brother Gilles, published editions of the Book of Hours during the Renaissance in France. They published only about
1,000 copies for each edition. The brothers specialized in luxury editions on vellum using hand painted illumination. Because Paris was a stronghold
of the trade in manuscripts, the Hardouyns used the art of the illuminator to make his books as beautiful as a scribe’s work. The main block of text
was printed on vellum with spaces left for the scribe and illuminator to finish by hand. The materials used were vellum (made from animal skin),
gold in a liquid suspension (thus the term illuminated or from metal) and ground lapis lazuli (used to produce the bright blues still vibrant 500 years
later). Like other publishers, Germain participated in all aspects of the book trade, as printer, gilder, illuminator, publisher, and bookseller.

A charming plate from "Histoire Naturelle, Générale et Particulière," Georges Louis Marie Leclerc, comte de Buffon's magnum opus and "the most
celebrated treatise on animals ever produced" (Dibner).
Comprised of a total of 44 volumes, the encyclopedic Histoire Naturelle, Générale et Particulière revolutionized the study of natural history and
was instrumental in both popularizing and elevating the field to the status of a serious discipline. With its comprehensive descriptions, exhaustive
theories on botany, geography, zoology, and geology, and innovative approach to topics such as species classification and evolution, Buffon's
publication was regarded as the seminal work on natural science. Issued in numerous successive editions in multiple languages, Histoire
Naturelle was an overwhelming success that "rivaled Diderot's Encyclopedia in prestige and circulation, and ranks with that Enlightenment
classic as an apotheosis of an age which sought to set down and explain everything" (Kestner, p.122). The publication of this monumental work
established Buffon's reputation as the chief authority on natural history and as one of the most prominent figures of the Enlightenment.
Jacques de Sève was a prolific artist, who contributed illustrations to Buffon's Receuil de Vingtquatre Plantes et Fleurs (1772) and completed
plates and vignettes for the works of Duhamel du Monceau, Perrault and others. His son, Jacques Eustache also worked as an artist and
engraver. (Lot number: 23380)

PIRANESI,G.B., Veduta del Castello dell'Acqua Felice presso le Terme Diocleziane., First Paris edition,
1800–1807, 15.8 x 27.1 inches /40.2 x 68.8 cm, Good and dark impression. Fine: No chips or tears. Large
Fine early imprint and signed in the plate in lower right corner : Piranesi F. In the center Presso l'Autore.Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720-1778)
was an Italian etcher, draughtsman and architect. He was born in Venice on the 4th October 1720. In 1740 Piranesi left Venice for Rome and
started to draw Roman architecture. He studied etching under Giuseppe Vasi.
With the help of Giuseppe Wagner, a successful engraver and publisher of Venice, he returned to Rome, where he had a workshop on the Corso.
Most of his life was passed in Rome, etching, writing, publishing, and directing a workshop in which the restoration and sale of antiques played a
considerable part.
Although perhaps Piranesi’s most discussed etchings are those of his visionary Prison series (Carceri), his Views of Rome (Vedute di Roma),
produced as single prints between 1748 and 1778, are his best-known mature works. Comprising 135 large-scale etchings of the buildings of
classical and post-classical Rome, these images contributed considerably to the city’s fame and to the rise of Neoclassicism in art, architecture,
and interior design in the second half of the eighteenth century. Piranesi’s unparalleled accuracy of depiction, his personal expression of the
structures’ noble simplicity and calm grandeur (in the words of the art historian Johann J. Winckelmann), and his technical mastery made these
prints some of the most original and impressive representations of architecture to be found in Western art.
The present print appears to be from the Paris edition of 1800–1807.
Following Piranesi’s death in 1778, his children carried on his publications in Rome until 1798. Two years later, the artist’s sons moved to Paris,
taking with them their father’s original copper plates and from their new location reissuing his prints until 1839 when the Camera Apostolica
bought the plates.
