Hand-drawn and hand-coloured Ottoman Turkish map, 536 x 778 mm. Scale 1:1,000.000. Unique hand-drawn map of western Yemen, southern Arabia and the southern Red Sea, reaching from Aden, Djibouti's Gulf of Tadjoura, and the Bab-el-Mandeb in the south and as far north as Mecca, Jeddah, and Rabigh. The legend identifies the various symbols used in the map to show features of the land: fortresses, railroads ("simendüfer", chemin-de-fer), international and Sanjak borders, simple roads, and causeways ("sose", chaussée). Apart from a few miles of rails inland from Hodeidah, no railways are shown in Arabia (the Hejaz railway had reached Medina in 1908 and not proceeded further), but several tracks are illustrated on the African side, some dubious. Dated 20 March 1327 (2 April 1911 CE), the map is signed with an unidentified monogram and inscribed as a gift to "Tevfik Bey Efendi, my comrade in misfortune" ("Refik-i felaketim Tevfik Beyefendi'ye yadigarimdir"). In the right margin, a series of pencil notes enumerate the various konaks (one-day travel stage posts) of the laborious land journey from Hodeidah to Sana'a. - The Sublime Porte had long sought to assert its authority in Yemen, and in 1872 had succeeded in establishing the Yemen Vilayet as an administrative division of the Ottoman Empire, though the vast area proved almost impossible to rule and continued to be plagued by insurrections. In early 1911 the Imam of Yemen, frustrated by the lack of progress in negotiations that had lasted for fully five years, began another revolt against the Ottomans: armed rebel bands arrived in Sana'a on 12 January 1911 and took over the city. The rebellion collapsed near the end of April, followed in October with the signing of the Treaty of Daan, which made Yemen a vassal state of the Ottoman Empire. It is very likely that the draughting of the present map was occasioned by the various Ottoman administrative and military operations taking place in Yemen during early April 1911. - Traces of folds which show a few insignificant paper and edge flaws. Drawn on high-quality Austrian "carta di disegno" paper with drystamp in one corner.…

Very good. Light wear along original fold lines. Size 8 x 9.25 Inches. This is an August 1943 World War II era U.S. Army Engineers map of American Red Cross clubs in central London. Published for American servicemen stationed in England during World War II (1939 - 1945), this map and others like it acted as a helpful aid to visiting GIs, many of whom had never before been outside the U.S. A Closer Look Bright red boxes highlight 15 American Red Cross clubs across central London. Among the labeled clubs is Rainbow Corner near Piccadilly Circus. Rainbow Corner was the most famous American Red Cross Club in the European Theater of Operations. It was open 24 hours a day, every day, to American servicemen from November 11, 1942, until January 9, 1946. Its largest single-day attendance was over 70,000 for the club's First Birthday party on December 5, 1943. Two African-American Red Cross clubs are identified here: Liberty near Euston Station and Duchess north of Oxford Circus. Although African-American soldiers could not enjoy white-only Red Cross Clubs, white soldiers were welcome at the African American Clubs and frequently visited, only civilians were barred. Publication History and Census This map was compiled by the Mapping Section, Intelligence Division, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and printed by the 952nd Aviation Engineer Topographic Company in August 1943.

No binding. Zustand: Good. Good. Toning and some soiling. Verso repairs to fold separations. Light wear along original fold lines. Size: Height 22.25 x width 27 inches. This is a poignant 1945 American National Red Cross map locating German camps holding American prisoners of war and civilian internees during the final year of World War II. Camps marked in red give geographical form to the wartime captivity of airmen, soldiers, sailors, merchant mariners, and civilians. Read alongside the Red Cross's relief efforts, the map connects the distant places of their confinement with the families awaiting news and the vast undertaking of sending food and essential supplies to prisoners overseas.

Very good. Some toning and wear along original centerfold. Minor foxing. Original platemark visible. Size 12 x 17 Inches. A beautiful example of Rigobert Bonne's 1771 map of Nubia and Abyssinia. Covers from Aswan, Egypt south along the Nile river to include all of modern day Sudan, Ethiopia, Eretria, Djibouti and Somalia. Also includes parts of neighboring Arabia across the Red Sea. This is a fairly advanced map revealing the cartographic sophistication of the Abyssinian Empire. Shows the Blue Nile flowing correctly into Lake Dambea (Lake Tana) from the south. Notes numerous important cataracts on the Blue Nile. The White Nile, who's course is more mysterious, acts as a kind of western border for this map, with only vague notations regarding the African empires lying on its western shores. Names numerous Nubian and Ethiopian cities and monasteries as well as the location of Mecca across the Red Sea. A fine map of the region. Drawn by R. Bonne in 1771 for issue as plate no.

Very good. Closed tear and reinstated margin along left border. Size 16 x 11.5 Inches. This is a c. 1728 Joseph Stocklein map of northeastern Egypt and the Red Sea. This beautifully engraved map illustrates the course followed by the Israelites as they fled captivity in Egypt. The tale, as recounted in Exodus, is one of the most dramatic in the Bible, including such events as Moses' parting of the Red Sea, illustrated at top center. The map's coverage extends from Nile River east to the Red Sea. Cities and oases are identified, including Cairo, Memphis, and Heliopolis. Vignettes of African animals, including crocodiles and ostriches, adorn the map as well. The route the Israelites traveld in their trek to the Red Sea is noted. In the lower quadrants supplementary maps illustrate the 'Cloister of St. Pauli' and the 'Cloister of Saint Einsidles Antonij.

Very good. Even overall toning. Verso repairs to fold separations. Light transference. Blank on verso. Size 14.5 x 14.5 Inches. This is an extremely rare c. 1810 Porlier map of the Red River system in northern Vietnam and the Gulf of Tonkin. The map depicts part of northern Vietnam concentrated around the Red River system (Fleuve Fou Teang Kiang) and Tong-tou (most likely modern-day Hanoi), marked as the capital of Tonkin (Capitale du Tunquin). Numerous other towns and villages are labeled, as are several islands in the Red River delta and along the coastline. Parts of Ha Long Bay are also illustrated. Census and Publication History We know that a very similar earlier map was compiled from Jesuit sources by Jean Dominique Etienne Canu for publication in Yves Mathurin Marie Treaudet de Querboeuf's Lettres Edifiantes et Curieuses . We believe that this map was published in the 1810 edition of Lettres Edifiantes . We have not found any known examples in institutional collections or on the private market.…

Very good. Dissected and laid on linen. Some infill along right border. Multiple sheets, as joined by publisher. Old handwriting on verso partially visible on recto. Size 37.75 x 62.75 Inches. A historically significant 1858 map of the Canadian region stretching from Lake Winnipeg and the Red River Settlement to the western shores of Lake Superior. It is based on surveys by Simon James Dawson and William Napier drawn during a Canadian government-sponsored expedition undertaken the previous year and was published in Henry Youle Hind's Report on a Topographical and Geological Exploration of the Canoe Route Between Fort William, Lake Superior, and Fort Garry, Red River. The expedition's work, along with a concurrent British-financed expedition over some of the same territory, greatly stimulated interest in both London and Ottawa for Canada's westward expansion, which was realized in the following decades. A Closer Look Coverage ranges from Fort William on Thunder Bay, Lake Superior to Fort Garry, future Winnipeg, a Hudson Bay Company trading post at the confluence of the Red and Assiniboine Rivers. This territory includes portions of what is now Ontario and Manitoba (with part of northern Minnesota), but was then Rupert's Land, managed by the Hudson Bay Company. As waterways were the easiest means of travel, they are noted in considerable detail, including Lake Winnipeg, the Winnipeg River, Lake of the Woods, the Rainy River and Lake, Lake Superior, and many smaller lakes and rivers. An inset map appears at top right, a reduced scale printing of Dawson's map of the area between Lake of the Woods and the Red River. Two routes to Fort Garry are displayed, one through Lac Platt that appears on the main map and a 'Proposed Line of Road,' a 'colonization road' which was constructed soon after this map's publication, with Dawson himself overseeing the work. At bottom, Hind's 'Profile of Canoe Route' demonstrates the sometimes-abrupt changes in elevation along the route between Lake Superior and the Red River. Being a geologist, among other talents, Hind was able to indicate the types of rock and soil along the route travelled. New Selkirk or the Red River Settlement The Red River Settlement, also known as New Selkirk, roughly corresponds with modern-day Manitoba. Thomas Douglas (1771 - 1820) unexpectedly became the 5th Earl of Selkirk in 1799. He was an unlikely heir, as his ascension to that title required the death of his father and all six brothers! Douglas was concerned with the plight of Scottish and Irish crofters then being displaced by landlords, who were reclaiming their lands for more profitable sheepherding. Selkirk determined to resettle the homeless crofters in the New World. He initially used his wealth and estate to acquire lands in Prince Edward Island and in Upper Canada (Ontario). These lands proved insufficient, and Selkirk lobbied for more lands farther west. He reached out to the Hudson Bay Company, who had enormous territorial holdings in central and northern Canada - Rupert's Land. Although initially rebuffed, he leveraged his connections and wealth to acquire 40% of the HBC, putting them in no position to refuse. Selkirk received a grant for the entire Red River Valley, an area southwest of Lake Winnipeg nearly five times as large as Scotland, and extending into present day Minnesota and North Dakota. This area was at the very edge of HBC holdings and was thus also the stomping ground of the rival Montreal-based North West Company. Major NWC trade routes and supply chains ran directly through Selkirk's Grant. While initially friendly with the NWC, when food ran short, the Selkirk colonists shut down exports and trade, particularly of pemmican, a frontier food staple made from dried and powdered Buffalo meat. This led to the Pemmican War (1812 - 1821), between the HBC and NWC. Fought at frontier way-stations, over rough forts, and between American Indian allies, the war lasted for nearly 10 years until the Hudson.…
