ULM PTOLEMY, [Untitled map of The British Isles], 1482. 15” x 22” [including text]. Beautiful full original color. Excellent con- dition. $35,000. Among the earliest obtainable printed maps are those appearing in the famous Ulm Ptolemy. These maps are particularly desirable when they survive in striking full original color. This ptolemaic map of the British Isles is a superb example. A complete Ulm Ptolemy atlas has sold for well over a million dollars. ref: Campbell, The Earliest Printed Maps, pp. 135-137. EXCEPTIONAL MAPS AND VIEWS O F EUROPE THE LION OF BELGIUM 2. VAN DER KEERE, PIETER, Leo Belgicus, c.1617. 14 1/2” x 17 3/4”. Later hand color. Excellent condition. $24,000. A fine example of Pieter van der Keere’s renowned version of Michael Aitzinger’s concept of the Lion of Belgium. “Michael Aitzinger’s novel design was first printed in 1583 and was copied by many of the Low Countries’ engravers in various forms. Some ver- sions are fabulously ornate, others more plain, but this is one of the most decorative forms” -- Potter. ref: Potter, Antique Maps, p. 187; Van der Heijden, Leo Belgicus, #4.2. EXCEPTIONAL MAPS AND VIEWS O F EUROPE BOISSEAU’S MAP OF EUROPE WITH AN INSET OF CANADA 3. BOISSEAU, JEAN, Evrope Francoise Ov Description Generalle Des Empires, 1641. 16 3/4” x 22 3/4”. Uncolored. Trimmed close. Repairs with some loss to printed border. Otherwise very good condition. $9,500. Unrecorded Canadiana. A beautifully decorated map of Europe with an inset of Canada or Nouvelle France. The inset has been missed in the bibliographies of North America (not cited in Burden, Kershaw or Phillips), and the only reference we can find is a mention in Pastoreaux. The map was published in the Theatre des Gaules and pre- dates Boisseau’s famous 1643 map of Canada. Apparently designed to detail French influence in Europe, North Africa, and the New World, the map lists royalty throughout Europe which were decended from French ancestry, with the dates of their reigns. ref: Pastoureau, Boisseau II, pp. 69-70, #6. EXCEPTIONAL MAPS AND VIEWS O F EUROPE 4. JANSSON, JAN, Britannia prout divisa suit temporibus... Heptarchia, c.1646. 16 1/4” x 20 3/4”. Full original color. Excellent condition. $4,800. This decorative map shows the British Isles at the time of the Anglo-Saxon Heptarchy; the seven ancient kingdoms of Kent, the South Saxons, West Saxons, East Saxons, Northumberland, East Anglia and Mercia. The historical map is embellished with border panels depicting the seven Kings in full battle dress & armor, and with scenes illustrating the conversion of each of the seven kingdoms to Christianity in wake of St. Augustine’s arrival in England in the year 597 AD. Jansson’s map of the Heptarchy, first published in 1646, is almost identical to the Blaeu published a year earlier, but can be distin- guished by the addition of radiating compass lines across the sea areas of the map. ref: Shirley, Early Printed Maps of the British Isles, #577. EXCEPTIONAL MAPS AND VIEWS O F EUROPE GERMAN CITY PLAN OF PRAGUE IN ORIGINAL COLOR 5. SEUTTER, MATTHEUS, Praga celeberrima et maxima totius Bohemiae..., c.1680. 19 1/2” x 22 3/4”. Original color. Excellent condition. $2,800. Published in Augsberg, this stunning plan of Prague includes a view of the city at the bottom. An excellent example in fine original hand color. Seutter was a German cartographer and engraver who set- tled in Augsberg in 1707 after an apprenticeship to the great Johann Baptist Homann. EXCEPTIONAL MAPS AND VIEWS O F EUROPE FINE DECORATIVE MAP OF CORNWALL ENGLAND 6. HOOGHE, ROMEYN DE / MORTIER, Carte Maritime de L’Angleterre depuis les Sorlingues jusques a Portland..., 1693. 23” x 37 1/2”. Original hand color. Some light offsetting, otherwise excellent condition. $4,500. Romeyn de Hooghe was a famous Dutch artist employed by King William III of England. This sea chart of Cornwall is part of a small group of maps executed by him and published by Mortier. They are considered “the most spectacular type of maritime cartography ever produced in 17th century Amsterdam.” The map is embellished with fine decorative cartouches, and a number of inset maps and views. ref: Koeman, Atlantes Neerlandici, M.Mor.5, #8. EXCEPTIONAL MAPS AND VIEWS O F EUROPE MANUSCRIPT PLAN OF THE BRIDGE ST. LOUIS IN PARIS 7. ANON, Plan General D’un Projet de Pont entre isles St. Louis et notre dame, c.1790. 16 3/4” x 26 1/4”. Original manuscript plan in ink and watercolor. Some spotting, but generally very good condition. $2,400. This is a fine manuscript plan of the bridge between the Isle St. Louis and the Isle de Cite on which Notre Dame is located. A bridge between the islands was first built in 1630 and was rebuilt numerous times over the next two centuries. This manuscript appears to be the plan for the bridge constructed c.1790. DECORATIVE MAPS O F THE WORLD SEPARATELY PUBLISHED WORLD MAP BY ALLARD 8. ALLARD, CAREL, Novissima Totius Orbis Tabula, Per Carolum Allard., c.1683. 19 5/8” x 23 1/8”. Early hand color. Very good condition. $8,500. Although Carel Allard would not publish an atlas until 1696, his scarce, separately published world map was originally issued in Amsterdam sometime prior to 1683. The map uses the decorative bor- der scenes made popular by De Wit on his world map of c.1670. This is the second state of the map as defined by Shirley. ref: Shirley, The Mapping of The World, #517. DECORATIVE MAPS O F THE WORLD SUPERB CELESTIAL AND TERRESTRIAL SPHERES BY ROBYN 9. ROBYN, JACOB / DANCKERTS, CORNELIS, [pair] Nieuw Aerdsch Pleyn... Iacobus Robyn Cum Privilegio... [and] Nieuwe Hemels Spiegel..., 1696/c.1700. Pair of celestial and terrestrial spheres measuring 23” x 20 1/2” each. Full original hand color. Full margins. Excellent condition. $39,000. Unusual with full margins. We have never seen an example of either the terrestrial or celestial map that has not been trimmed on the sides with loss of printed surface, as the maps had to be trimmed to fit into the atlas. The examples being offered here must have been sepa- rately published, and were issued by Cornelis Danckerts c.1700. DECORATIVE MAPS O F THE WORLD The terrestrial map is a single-sheet version of Robyn and Doncker’s large four-sheet map of the world in a single circle. “It seems very likely that this single-sheet version by Jacob Robyn was also devised by Andreas van Luchtenburg whose participation is acknowledged on the companion celestial map. The new and distinc- tively drawn mythological scenes in the corners of the map were almost certainly engraved by Jacob Harrewyn who collaborated close- ly with both Robyn and Luchtenburg at this time” -- Shirley. The map is on the equidistant azimuthal projection centered on the north pole. The same projection was used by Nolin on his version of Cassini’s world map, published in 1696. Robyn has not updated the interior of North America, “where only one large Great Lake is indicated and Nieu Nederland is still marked rather than New York as it became in 1664” -- Shirley.

IWKI,.f,;lt l'HISTl:NG IIOl::il-:. Desce·ndants of John Stansbury of Leominster 1670=1895 PREF,ACE. :Mr. Paul Bourget laughs at the Americans, because they desire to know who were their grandfathers. Let him laugh. The desire is the indication of a wish to escape the unrest of American life. All intelligent people instinctively feel that, in a world where every thing changes-residence, fortune, occupation, friends-one thing can not change, namely, one's place in the social organization as shown by one's birth and family connections. ~or is the knowl­ edge of one's family any less important in ,t republic than whern rank is recognized. frdeed; it is in a sense more important. Its prospective is even greater than its present utility; and, if the record is not now made up, while the country is still young, while the traditions of the elders are fresh in our recollection and the ramifications of relationship are not yet too multiplied to be man­ ageable, the origin of American families must be forever lost to those who come after us. Especially are we concerned to know how om lifo is connected with the life of the nations from which our n,ncCJstors emigrated, n,nc1_ ,vhat is the precise admixture of blood in our hereLlitary composition. The interest in genertlogicoJ re­ search, unde1· existing corn1itions, in the United States, is therefore not only n11turnl but commendable.

In conversation with forty-five first- and second-generation Russian intellectuals who relocated from Russia and the former Soviet Union, the researcher investigates transnational Russian identity through ethnographic, auto-ethnographic, and visual anthropology methods. Educated migrants from Russia who shared with the researcher a comparable epistemic universe and experiential perspective, and who were themselves experts on migration, discuss what it means to belong to global transnational diasporas, how they position themselves in historical contexts of migration, and what they hope to contribute to modern intellectual migrant narratives.

  • Robert Graves the White Goddess
    ROBERT GRAVES THE WHITE GODDESS IN DEDICATION All saints revile her, and all sober men Ruled by the God Apollo's golden mean— In scorn of which I sailed to find her In distant regions likeliest to hold her Whom I desired above all things to know, Sister of the mirage and echo. It was a virtue not to stay, To go my headstrong and heroic way Seeking her out at the volcano's head, Among pack ice, or where the track had faded Beyond the cavern of the seven sleepers: Whose broad high brow was white as any leper's, Whose eyes were blue, with rowan-berry lips, With hair curled honey-coloured to white hips. Green sap of Spring in the young wood a-stir Will celebrate the Mountain Mother, And every song-bird shout awhile for her; But I am gifted, even in November Rawest of seasons, with so huge a sense Of her nakedly worn magnificence I forget cruelty and past betrayal, Careless of where the next bright bolt may fall. FOREWORD am grateful to Philip and Sally Graves, Christopher Hawkes, John Knittel, Valentin Iremonger, Max Mallowan, E. M. Parr, Joshua IPodro, Lynette Roberts, Martin Seymour-Smith, John Heath-Stubbs and numerous correspondents, who have supplied me with source- material for this book: and to Kenneth Gay who has helped me to arrange it. Yet since the first edition appeared in 1946, no expert in ancient Irish or Welsh has offered me the least help in refining my argument, or pointed out any of the errors which are bound to have crept into the text, or even acknowledged my letters.

  • Hauslab-Liechtenstein Map Collection
    The Occasional Papers Series No. 14 A Philip Lee Phillips Map Society Publication The Hauslab–Liechtenstein Map Collection Walter W. Ristow i The Occasional Papers A Philip Lee Phillips Map Society Publication Editorial Staff: Ryan J. Moore Chief Editor, Design and Layout Anna Balaguer Editor David Ducey Copy Editor Geography and Map Division Library of Congress Washington, D.C. Summer 2018 The Hauslab-Liechtenstein Map Collection By Walter Ristow (1908-2006) Edited by Ryan J. Moore Foreword It is with great pleasure we have republished former Geography and Map Chief Walter Ristow’s article on the Hauslab-Liechtenstein Map Collection. The piece originally appeared in the April 1978 edition of The Quarterly Journal of the Library of Congress, which is no longer in publication. The Division has chosen to posthumously republish the article forty years later because for the first time a catalog record and a finding aid, both completed in 2018, represent the collection online. Ristow’s article was invaluable in the preparation of these resources. In fact, Ristow’s article remains the most substantial study of this amazing and unique collection of cartography that dates from the sixteenth to nineteenth centuries. The collection has an interesting provenance, which I shall leave to Ristow’s article to tell in complete detail. However, briefly stated, the materials were collected by the Austrian general and mapmaker Franz Ritter von Hauslab (1798-1883). Upon Hauslab’s death, Prince Johann II of Liechtenstein (1840-1929) purchased the collection, and following World War II, the Princely House of Liechtenstein later sold it along with portions of their own collection to New York antiquarian dealer Hans Peter Kraus (1907-1988).

If the is published as the Winter 2016 issue despite always hobby is going to attract younger players and sustain being released just after the New Year. Confusing? If their involvement, we need to make it as simple as you are confused – or actually care enough to try to possible for them to participate. figure it out – you probably had too much to drink on New Year’s Eve. Speaking of the first generation… Only a few days after the release of Diplomacy World #135, I received word that Fred C. Davis, Jr. had passed away after months of declining health. (See the letter column for a note from his widow Inge). A more detailed biography of Fred’s long service to the hobby is probably something worth writing up in the future. But I made it a point to try and give thanks for Fred and his efforts (especially in the variant arena and his work with the Mensa SIG) within the pages of this zine while he was still with us, so he knew that he had not been forgotten despite his inability to participate any longer in the hobby he so dearly loved. For those of you who asked: YES the Demo Game will return soon, possibly by next issue. There were some complications and delays, which inevitably led to a player or two having to rescind their commitment to play, etc.
