[BERINGER (David, 1756-1821)] A Beringer Travelling Diptych Sundial and Compass, boxwood 2¾ x 1¾ ins opening up and secured at right angles, with a coloured cord or gnomon, which would in sunlight cast a shadow on the 2 printed decorative handcoloured dials, printed on the lid is a list of 48 cities in Europe, also New York in the United States, internally the colouring and definition is good, but the list on the lid is dust soiled and stained, [Augsberg] c.1780 [Stock ID: 14476 ] £850 David Beringer is known to have been marketing these charming little compass sundials from the last quarter of the eighteenth century in Germany. Formerly these pieces were made in metal sometimes precious, as they were prestigious items to own. Beringer, in the Age of Enlightenment, aware of a larger market, used printing to get away from costly engraving of each item. Using bright colouring to take the eye, these delightful objects proved very popular, however by their very construction they were ephemeral. The cord, or gnomon could be adjusted depending on which city the user was in. JAPANESE AMBASSADORS 8.

For display purposes only this manuscript has been simply framed with covered metal brackets for support. [Stock ID: 14479 ] £1650 MAP OF AFRICAN LAKES 12. BURTON (CAPT.SIR RICHARD FRANCIS BURTON [1821-1890]) Miscellaneous Notes in ink in his typically minute hand, on Richard Henry Major’s Book on The Life of Prince Henry the Navigator (pub.1868), including a detailed map of the region of Africa covering Tanzania, Mozambique, the Congo and Kenya in which Burton has identified various lakes including Lake Albert, Lake Victoria and Lake Tanganyika,7 pp. 8vo. on blind embossed stationery of the Atheneum Club, c.1871 Burton notes that Prince Henry ‘declared that his object was to “acquire wealth, knowledge of the world and, if possible fame”’, he also records references to Santiago (that it was not discovered by Antonio de Nolle but by the Portuguese Ddiego Gomes), Sierra Leone, Cape of Good Hope, Venezuela, China, Ceylon, Germany and others, mentioning Hippopotamuses (described by Cadamosto as Horse Fish), the Pillars of Hercules and explorers Christopher Columbus (who had endured ‘twelve years hardship and fatigue’), Martin Behaim the cartographer and others. It hard to date these notes exactly. Burton was appointed as the British Consul in Damascus in 1868, he was recalled in August 1871. He was reassigned in 1872 to his final post in Trieste. His time in Damascus was very full, including writing, Unexplored Syria with Tyrwhitt Drake , pub.1872. Burton may well have had a stock of Atheneum Club’s note paper and used them at anytime, but perhaps there was a moment in between his 2 appointments to settle in the Library to read Major’s book and compose these notes? Richard Henry Major was a geographer and map librarian who curated the map collection of the British Museum from 1844 until his retirement in 1880. The Life of Prince Henry the Navigator included Major's summary of 'new facts in the discovery of the Atlantic Islands, a refutation of French claims to priority in discovery, Portuguese knowledge (subsequently lost) of the Nile Lakes and the history of the naming of America' drawn from 'authentic contemporary documents'.
