In den WarenkorbSoft cover. Very good. Some wear on the original fold lines. Some marginal foxing. Size 22 x 17.5 Inches. This is the unrecorded first state of Paolo Petrini's c. 1700 map of the British Isles, including England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. The engraving here is so fresh and the strike so early, that the plate haze and text gui…delines remain visible. A Closer Look The work credits the cartography to Guillaume Sanson (1633 - 1703), son of the legendary French cartographer Nicolas Sanson, but may have been received through the intermediary of Roman publisher Giacomo Cantelli da Vignola (1643 - 1695), who issued a British Isles map with a similar title. Coverage embraces the British Isles in full, along with parts of adjacent Normandy. Towns and cities are named with counties broken out, though only Ireland's counties are highlighted with color. Coding indicates the episcopal sees of bishops (single cross) and archbishops (double cross). Publication History and Census This map was printed in Naples by Paolo Petrini. We are aware of two states. The present first state, without descriptive text in the cartouche, and a second state with the text. All examples of Petrini's work are obscenely rare, and this early, likely proof state, even more so as it is the only known example.

[Buffalo, NY: S.n.], 1825. 19-1/4" x 12" broadside, edges untrimmed. Text in two columns below headline and woodcut vignette of three caskets.

Nelson and Israel, farmers who appear to have been lazy, owed a considerable amount of money to John Love, a wealthy bachelor who boarded with Nelson. Unable to clear their debts, the two older brothers enlisted their younger brother, Isaac, to murder Love. The broadside account concludes: "There is not, probably, a parallel case to this in the history of man. It was truly afflicting, to see three young men, all brothers, thus brought to an ignominious death for a crime committed to gratify a love for idleness and a lust for money. May all others take warning by this solemn example!!!" This rare broadside appears to be an unrecorded variant of a related broadside with similar contents and a nearly identical title (beginning A Sketch of the Life, Condemnation, And Death of the Three Thayers.). No copies located on OCLC, which locates 4 copies of the related broadside (New-York Historical Society, American Antiquarian Society, University of Michigan Clements Library, Cornell). unrecorded variant; Buffalo, N.Y.: 1825 (illustrator).

In den WarenkorbGood. Some cracking. Restored and stabilized on fresh linen. Size 30 x 44.5 Inches. A most attractive 1855 Reed and Barber wall map of the United States reflecting a nation in flux. This is likely the last edition of this map, ending its long and fascinating documentation of American westward expansion. The present map is, accor…ding to our research, the only known example of the 1855 issue. A Closer Look The map illustrates Texas in the Post-Compromise of 1850 configuration. The 1854 Gadsden Purchase does not appear, suggesting this map was engraved early in 1854. In California the gold region is boldly highlighted. The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854, which separated Kansas Territory from Nebraska Territory is evident, with Kansas extending from Missouri to the Rocky Mountains. Notes in eastern Oregon describe that territory as 'very little known'. First Nation territory is identified according to tribe in Nebraska, Kansas, and the Indian Territory (Oklahoma). Mormons This map illustrates the Mormon presence around Great Salt Lake. Led by Brigham Young, the Mormon Pioneers first settled on the shores of Great Salt Lake in 1847. The map notes a 'Mormon Fort' roughly where Salt Lake City emerged, as well as the presence of Mormons northeast of the lake. The second 1850 edition of this map (not this one) takes the Mormon presence a step further, naming the unofficial territory of 'Deseret'. As this map postdates the incorporation of Utah Territory, the pseudo-state of 'Deseret' has been removed. Publication History and Census This map was published in 1855 in Hartford, Connecticut by Reed and Barber. This map first appeared in 1833 under the imprint of 'Barber and Willard'. An 1835 printing under the same name followed. It was revised in an 1842 issued by 'Reed and Barber. In 1848, 'Reed and Barber' revised the plates to illustrate the rapid changes in the Transmississippi following the Mexican-American War (1846 - 1848). Three subsequent 'Gold Rush' editions, all significantly reworked, appeared in 1849 and 1850 (2). We note further reissues in 1852 and 1854, as well as this edition, 1855, likely the last. The map in various editions appears in 7 institutions, but this is the only known example of the final 1855 edition. References: OCLC 56747861 (1854 edition).
