In den Warenkorbunbound. Map. Uncolored engraving. Image measures 9.75" x 8". This map depicts the state of Vermont. The boundaries of Lake Champlain and the Connecticut River set the state off from the surrounding land, which is left unlabeled to isolate and highlight its detail. Denotes towns, counties and topographical features, all in beaut…iful detail. The map is in good condition with original platemark visible. Drawn by Samuel Lewis and engraved by D. Fairman. The map is from John Conrad & Co.'s "A new and elegant general atlas". The atlas was the first collaboration between Aaron Arrowsmith of London and Samuel Lewis of Philadelphia. John Arrowsmith (1790-1873) was from a family of London based cartographers and publishers, and was a founding member of the Royal Geographical Society. Samuel Lewis (c. 1754-1822), who drew this map, was a prolific geographer based in Philadelphia. This is a fine example of his work.

In den WarenkorbMitchell's exploration of New South Wales First issue. Double-page engraved map, with contemporary hand-colour in outline. Subsequently published, with differences, in Mitchell's official account of his 'Three expeditions into the interior of Eastern Australia' (1838).Between 1832 and 1880, the Royal Geographical Society publish…ed 25 maps recording the exploration of inland Australia, illustrating the journeys of 27 explorers. The mapmakers In 1827, when Mitchell and his family arrived in Sydney, "the Survey Department was in an unsatisfactory condition. Surveying instruments were scarce and some surveyors were incompetent; their technical problems were rarely appreciated by the public or the government; moreover successive surveys of small areas were made without attempt to relate them to a general survey, so small errors accumulated till they became serious. Thus title deeds and the collection of quitrents were delayed and doubts and disputes arose about boundaries. Mitchell in 1828 started on the necessary but seemingly impossible task of making a general survey. Tent poles were used to measure a base line, and hill-tops, denuded of all trees save one, as trigonometrical points. In 1828, on Oxley's death, Mitchell became surveyor-general" (Baker for ADB online). During his time in Australia Mitchell undertook three major expeditions: - 1831, in search of a river that allegedly flowed to the north-west, he explored the Namoi, Gwydir and Barwon rivers. - 1835, he investigated the course of the Darling River, but failed to confirm whether, or not it flowed into the Murray River. - 1836, he set out to chart the Lachlan River, then follow the Murray River, and some of the Darling, while following the Loddon River, Mitchell "discovered Victoria's rich western plains, naming them Australia Felix (meaning Happy Australia). Mitchell also named the Grampians in western Victoria after a mountain range in Scotland, Thomas Mitchell was a fiery character who upset many and fought one of the last duels in Australia, in 1851. He contracted an illness during a survey in southern New South Wales, developed pneumonia and died in 1855" (The Australian Museum online). The founder of the Arrowsmith dynasty of cartographers was Aaron Arrowsmith (17501823). On his death, he was succeeded by his sons Aaron (18021854) and Samuel (18051839) who worked as partners from 1823 to 1832, when Aaron resigned, ultimately to join the church. On Samuel's death in 1839, the business was acquired by John Arrowsmith, his cousin. John had trained with Aaron sr., joining him in 1810, but leaving on his death to set up his own firm. In skill, John was in no way inferior to the elder Aaron. He too was a notable publisher of important wall-maps, focused largely on British possessions abroad, including important wall-maps of Canada, Trinidad, British Guyana, Africa and of the rapidly expanding settlements in Australia and New Zealand. However, these are only rarely encountered and little known. Instead, he is best known for his maps published in books; he had an enormous output, supplying some 800 maps for Hansard, and other government publications, making and engraving maps for travel books and also, acting as semi-official mapmaker for the Royal Geographical Society, he contributed large numbers of maps for the Society's Journals, illustrating the most recent discoveries contributed by Fellows of the Society. Literature: Clancy, 'The Mapping of Terra Australis', 3.3; Tooley, 'The Mapping of Australia', 96 (later edition).

In den Warenkorb"decisive of the general character of the Australian interior" (Sturt) Large folding lithographed map (270 by 630mm to the neatline), with an inset of the 'Continuation from R[iver] Burdekin to Port Curtis', bound into 'Papers relating to an Expedition recently undertaken for the purpose of Exploring the Northern Portion of Aust…ralia. Presented to both Houses of Parliament by Command of her Majesty'; folio, stabbed and sewn as issued, preserved in archival buckram-backed portfolio. The first complete account of Gregory's important expedition across 5000 miles of northern Australia: from Gladstone, near Brisbane in Queensland, across the Northern Territory and into Western Australia; then known as Van Diemen's and Arnheim's lands. Accompanied by a detailed map of the route, confirming the presence of a vast inland desert at the red centre of Australia. The paper includes a detailed commentary, and speculations on evidence for previous existence of an inland sea, by Captain Charles Sturt, who had explored some of the same "great desert" from the south, in 1845. Augustus Charles Gregory's (1819-1905) family was one of the earliest to settle at the Swan River Colony in Western Australia, and he is fondly remembered there for his invention of an apparatus that operated the first revolving light on Rottnest Island. He served an apprenticeship with Surveyor-General John Septimus Roe, and after a series of successful surveying expeditions in northern Western Australia was chosen to lead an imperially funded scientific exploration across the north of Australia. With "eighteen men, including his brother Henry, Ferdinand von Mueller and other scientists he sailed from Moreton Bay in August 1855 and in September reached the estuary of the Victoria River. After initial set-backs Gregory led several forays up the Victoria River and traced Sturt's Creek for 300 miles until it disappeared in desert. Turning east the party explored the Elsey, Roper and Macarthur Rivers, crossed and named the Leichhardt and then travelled to Brisbane by way of the Flinders, Burdekin, Fitzroy and Burnett Rivers. In sixteen months, the expedition had journeyed over 2000 miles by sea and 5000 by land. The natural resources discovered did not measure up to expectations, but Gregory was awarded the gold medal of the Royal Geographical Society and his report later stimulated much pastoral settlement" (Waterson).
