POCKET MAP OF CALIFORNIA AND NEVADA 1. Bancroft, Hubert Howe. Bancroft’s Map of California, Nevada, Utah and Arizona. Hand-colored lithograph map. 28x32, within gilt- stamped brown cloth. The Third Revised Edition. San Francisco: Bancroft & Co., 1873 Bancroft’s detailed pocket map of California and Nevada, with portions of Arizona and Utah. Each state is divided into counties, reflected in the coloring, and the various railroads, completed, under construction and planned, are shown, as are the many towns, cities, lakes, rivers, and other features. Wheat 1219. Light shelf wear; a few tiny holes at crease fold, one very faint and small dampstain on Lot 1 verso; very good plus. (1500/2000)

2. Frémont, John Charles. Map of an Exploring Expedition to the Rocky Mountains in the Year 1842 and to Oregon & North California in the years 1843-44... Lithographed map, with slight hand-coloring as issued. 76x131 cm. (30x50½”). Washington: 1846 Frémont’s important and highly influential map of the west, executed with the assistance of Charles Preuss, issued in his Report of the Exploring Expedition to the Rocky Mountains in the Year 1842, and to Oregon and North California in the Years 1843-’44. Wheat describes the map at great length, and attaches great significance to it: “The year 1845, however, though otherwise somewhat cartographically barren, because of a single event is in fact one of the towering years in the story of Western Cartography. In that year John C. Frémont’s report of his journey to Oregon and California in 1843-44 was published. This report and the Frémont (Preuss) map which accompanied it, changed the entire picture of the West, and made a lasting contribution to cartography....” Graff 1436; Howes F370; Wagner-Camp 115; Wheat Transmississippi 497. Mild darkening, as usual, more so along the folds, verso repairs/reinforcements with cloth tape along the folds, a few older paper repairs on verso, marginal chip, very good. (800/1200)

Page 1 HONDIUS’ MAP OF VIRGINIA, 1644 3. Hondius, Henricus. Nova Virginiæ Tabula. Copper-engraved map, hand-colored (later?)). 38x49 cm. (15x19½”), hinged to mat. Amsterdam: 1630-1644 The region surrounding the Chesapeake Bay, very hilly, with depiction at upper left of the interior of a Indian dwelling labeled “Status Regins Powhaten,” and at left a native holding a bow, called “Habitus fœminarum in Provincia Sasque fahanougs.” Burden notes that “This is Henricus Hondius’ derivative of John Smith’s highly important map of Virginia, 1612. It is, however, draw from his deceased brother Jodocus’ version of 1618. The two had led separate careers for at least ten years and in 1629, upon the death of Jodocus, Willem Blaeu acquired a number of plates from the estate. About thirty of these formed the nucleus of Blaeu’s Atlantis Appendix of 1630. This challenge to the atlas of Henricus, which was by now quite dated, stimulated fierce competition between the two houses. The sale of plates must have Lot 3 occurred by 2 March 1630 as a contract of that date survives where Henricus Hondius and his partner Joannes Janssonius, angry at the sale of plates to their competitor, engaged engravers to cut a number of new plates after those of Jodocus within eighteen months so that they could advance their own atlas. The Virginia was one of the first engraved as it appears in Janssonius’ Atlantis Appendix of 1630. Attractively engraved it is the only Smith derivative to bear an Indian facing the Chesapeake Bay...” The present copy of the map was issued in the 1644 edition of Hondius’ Nouvel Atlas, with French text on verso (with the signature mark e). Burden 228, State 1; Tooley, Mapping of America, p.165. Slight toning and a few stray fox marks; marginal tear repaired on verso; near fine. (2000/3000)

Page 2 5. Münster, Sebastian. Die Erst General Tafel / Die Beschreibung und den Circkel des Gantzen Erdtrichs und Meers Innhaltende. Woodcut map of the world, hand-colored (later). 30.5x26 cm. (12x14”). Basle: Sebastian Petri, 1588-[?] The “modern” world map that appeared in issues of Münster’s Cosmographia from 1588 onwards, an oval woodcut after Ortelius. Shirley notes that “The title is in gothic German and the corners are decorated by a florid vine leaf pattern. Sharp and clean impressions of this map are rare, as it was normally printed on poor quality paper which allowed the ink to offset and the text on the reverse to show through.” The impression on the present example is fairly good, though the coloring, which seems old, is a little overbearing; the verso text is slightly visible through the map. Shirley 163 & Lot 5 Plate 134. Near fine. (1500/2500)

6. Münster, Sebastian. La table des Isles neufes, lesquelles on appelle isles d’occident & d’Indie pour diuers regardz. Woodcut map. 25.2x33.8 cm. (10x13¼”), hinged to mat. Basel, Switzerland: 1540-[1556] One of the most influential early maps of the Americas, first issued as part of a series of modern, up to date maps in Münster’s 1540 edition of Ptolemy’s Geography, and included by him in his Cosmographia Universalis, first published in 1544. Although it was not the first map to use “America” as a designation for the New World, it was the appearance of the name in the Cosmographia, an immensely popular work which went into some forty editions over the next one hundred years, that cemented the usage for all time. Burden calls this continental map of America (as opposed to just portions) “the earliest of any note.” Burden goes on to describe its various features in some detail: “The Portuguese flag is shown flying over the South Atlantic and the Spanish one over Lot 6 her possessions in the Caribbean. The Strait of Magellan are named again, and Mare pacificum appears for the first time on a printed map. Magellan’s ship Victoria, the only survivor of five vessels, appears for the first time on a printed map. Marco Polo’s influence can be seen with Zipangri (Japan) appearing three years before the earliest known contact with Europeans, and also his Archipelagus 7448 insularu. The Yucatan is still shown as an island and the lake at Temistitan is depicted empty-

Page 3 ing into the Gulf of Mexico. North America is not shown as accurately as the southern half of the continent, it had to a large extent been neglected so far by explorers. When Giovanni de Verrazzano, in the service of Francis I of France, passed by the Outer Banks of the Carolinas in 1524 he mistook Pamlico and Albemarle Sounds for the `Oriental Sea’ that led to Cathay and the rich Spice Islands. Here Münster perpetuates this error and through the success of this book provided a huge impetus to the exploration of the region. The only placenames appearing here are C. Britonum, marking England’s early explorations, Corterati, probably Newfoundland after the Corte Reals, and Terra florida. Francisca is named in honor of Francis I.” The designation “America” occurs in the phrase “Insula Atlantica quam uo-/ cant Brasilii & Americam” in South America. The present example is Burden’s state 7, from the 1556 (of 1560) French languaged edition of Münster’s Cosmography, with “Temistitan” not present in Mexico. Very faint spots at left and right edges of image and at bottom, neat repair at lower centerfold, near fine, with crisp, clean impression. (3000/5000)

7. Münster, Sebastian. Typus Orbis Ptol. Descriptus. Woodcut map, later hand-coloring. 25.1x34 cm. (9¾X13¼”), hinged to mat. Basle: 1540-[c.1545] Map of the old world as delineated in the writings of Claudius Ptolemy. “Sebastian Münster was a Professor of Hebrew at Basle University and an eminent hebraist, mathematician and geographer. He produced his own edition of Ptolemy’s Geographia in 1540, adding a number of significantly new maps to the modern section of the work. In the classical section is a Ptolemaic world map with a surround of clouds and windheads.” This last is the present map, and Shirley notes that there were “further editions of the Geographia in 1541, 1542, 1545 and 1552. These were all printed in Basle with Latin text and carry a fine vertical crack line across the right-hand part of the map” which is present, under close examination, on the present map. On the verso, right-hand side, is a short Latin text beginning “Descriptio Orbis generalis...,” in a small engraved box featuring a knight on horseback. Shirley 76. Neat repair along centerfold, a few light marginal stains, very good. (700/1000)

RARE ORTELIUS MAP OF THE AMERICAS, 1579 8. Ortelius, Abraham. Americae Sive Novi Orbis Nova Descriptio. Copper-engraved map, hand-colored (later). 36.5x51.5 cm. (14½x20¼”), hinged to mat. Antwerp: 1579 Landmark map of the Americas, one of the most widely disseminated of its time, of great influence, the product of one of the leading mapmakers of his or any era. Burden calls it “One of the most famous and easily recognizable maps of America, and one that is both functional as well as decorative.” Its great influence was due to a large extent to its presence in Ortelius’ Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, the first atlas produced that uniformly covered the world with similarly sized and styled maps. Published on May 20, 1570, it was instantly successful, and went through four issues in the first year alone. Burden goes on to note that “Ortelius depicts the discoveries of a number of people on this map, but the general shape of the continent is derived from Gerard Mercator’s Lot 8 great twenty-one sheet world

Page 4 map of the previous year… One of the main noticeable features of the map is the bulbous Chilean coastline; this was not corrected until his third plate [produced in 1587]. A strategically placed cartouche hides a complete lack of knowledge of the southern waters of the Pacific… The west coast of North America is shown too far west, as was common at the time…” There were three copper plates made over the life of the atlas for the American map. The present map is from the second plate, issued in 1579, quite similar to the 1570 first plate, but with the strap- work border 4 mm. thick, the largest ship in the Pacific sailing eastwards, and graduations along the equatorial line. Burden 39; Goss p.34. Expert repair at centerfold, a few marginal wormholes repaired, near fine. (3000/5000) Section II: Fine Americana

Kelly Field, Texas: [c.1918] Archive of photographs, most of which featuring a young man, Frank J. McCoy, employed in the United States military unit specializing in aeronautic photography. One is a portrait of McCoy from 1918. Another photograph features about two dozen men (including McCoy) posing atop words made out of white rocks which read, “Aero-Photo-Unit,” and on verso is written in pencil, “Lt. O’Connell Centre.” Lt. Joseph H. O’Connell is also featured in many of these photographs. Another photograph is of a group of men standing next to possibly a mobile dark room (truck with two trailers), the side of the truck is labelled, and on verso is the name of each man in the photograph in ink, and location of the photograph in Austin, Texas.

COMPLETE SET OF THE PACIFIC RAILROAD REPORTS 227. (Pacific Railroad Reports) Reports of Explorations and Surveys, to Ascertain the Most Practicable and Economical Route for A Railroad from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean. Made Under the Direction of the Secretary of War, in [1853-55]. 12 volumes bound in 13. Extensively illustrated with color lithograph plates of scenic views, black & white lithographs of geological, botanical & zoological subjects (including the hand-colored lithographs of birds), graphs & charts, folding maps, etc. (4to) 11x8½, modern uniformly bound in black half-leather with boards, gilt spines. A mix of House and Senate Issues. Washington: 1855-60

Page 51 Complete set of the quarto edition of the massive compilation of Secretary of War Jefferson Davis in the largest concerted effort to map the western frontier of the United States to that time. Four major routes were surveyed, from a northern route terminating at the mouth of the Columbia River to a southern route running through Texas to San Diego. Superbly illustrated with color lithographs of the countryside and native peoples of the regions explored, and with numerous maps detailing areas never before surveyed. This monumental work ranks as a major landmark in the opening of the west. Among the principal contributors were A.A. Humphreys, G.K. Warren, Isaac Ingalls Stevens, J.G. Parke, A.W. Whipple, J.C. Ives, W.H. Emory, and Spencer F. Baird. The important series of lithographic views of the West, from drawings by Richard and Edward Kern, Tom Mix Stanley, Charles Koppel and others, presented to the world some of the first depictions of previously unexplored regions of the West, and some of its newly settled regions. Wagner-Camp notes, “Despite their flaws, these volumes contain a monumental collection of scientific information, geographical, zoological, botanical, geological, of the still mysterious American West. Upon first examination, the volumes seem forbiddingly disorganized... however these faults are amply compensated by the richness of the material within.” Howes P3; Wagner-Camp 262-267. A few volumes with dampstaining to edges of page blocks which extend onto edges of plates and/or pages; very mild to heavy foxing within; condition varies; generally very good or better. While appearing to be complete, these volumes have not been fully collated and should be examined. Sold as is. (3000/5000)

Narrative of the Expedition of an American Squadron to the China Seas and Japan, Performed in the Years 1852, 1853, and 1854, under the Command of Commodore M.C. Perry, United States Navy, by Order of the Government of the United States. Vol. I only. Compiled by Francis L.

(4to) 11½x9, original blindstamped cloth, spine lettered in gilt. First Edition, Senate Issue. Washington: Beverly Tucker, 1856 Detailed and profusely illustrated account of Perry’s expedition to open Japan to the West; “In January 1852 [Perry] was selected to undertake the most important diplomatic mission ever intrusted to an American naval officer, the negotiation of a treaty with Japan, a country at this time sealed against intercourse with the Occidental powers” (DAB). By March 31, 1854, the treaty granting the U.S. trading rights had been signed by the Japanese. Upon his return to the U.S., his chief duty for the following year was to compile his reports of the expedition, aided by Francis Hawks. This first volume has the account of the voyage and lithographs of the travel, and is considered the most desirable of the three. In addition to the artist W. Heine, from whose drawings a great number of the lithographs were made, the daguerreotypist E. Brown, Jr., went on the expedition, taking what were undoubtedly the earliest photographic images of Japan, many of them reproduced lithographically in this work. This copy does have the nude bathing plate facing p.408, which was not included on the list of plates and not issued in all copies. It also has the “photographer” plate facing p.194, showing Brown with his camera. Lacking are the plates that should face pp. 92, 155 and 451, as well as a map. Hill 1332; Sabin 30968. Some rubbing to covers, spine faded, joints tender, corners worn; eradicates inscription and removed bookplate from front pastedown; internally quite clean, plates bright. (1200/1800)
