Very good. Original platemark visible. Minor spotting at places. Blank on verso. Size 10.5 x 8.5 Inches. This is a fine 1835 map of the Atlantic Ocean by the important American mapmaker T. G. Bradford. It covers the Atlantic Ocean from the Baffin Bay south as far as the Antarctic Circle and from the Gulf of Mexico east past the Mediterranean Sea. The map identifies deserts, rivers, islands and important cities in the United States, Canada, South America, Africa and Europe. Does not show Antarctica, but does identify South Shetland just north of the Antarctic Circle. Elevation is rendered by hachure. This map was published as plate no. 80 in Thomas G. Bradford's 1835 Comprehensive Atlas Geographical, Historical and Commercial . Bradford's atlas, published in 1835 was an important work on many levels. First, it was one of the first American atlases to follow an encyclopedic format, offering readers extensive geographical and statistical tables to supplement the maps themselves. Second, it was published in Boston and influenced the city's rise as a publishing center later in the 19th century (at the time most publishing in the United States was restricted to New York and Philadelphia). Third, this atlas was the first to contain a separate and specific map showing the Republic of Texas. Fourth and finally, Bradford's atlas in some instances broke the Euro-centric mold regarding atlas production. Among other things, Bradford focused his atlas on the Americas and abandoned the classical decoration common in European atlases in favor of a more informational and inherently American approach. Bradford published this atlas in several editions and with various partners. The first edition was published by William D. Ticktor and did not contain the iconic Republic of Texas map (although we have in fact seen Ticktor examples with a Texas map, suggesting, against conventional wisdom, that there may have been two Ticktor editions). The second official edition, published in the same year by the American Stationers Company, was the first to contain the Republic of Texas map, which is based on Austin's map, with two pages of descriptive text. A third edition was issued in 1836, also by American Stationers (though still dated 1835), and contained an unaltered Republic of Texas map with only a single page of descriptive test. A fourth edition appeared later, possibly 1837, and included an updated and revised map of Texas that replaces the old Mexican land grants with new inchoate counties. The maps from this atlas are an important addition to any collection focusing on early American cartography and Republic of Texas cartography. All maps in this atlas, though not specifically noted as such, were most likely engraved by G. W. Boynton of Boston, who also engraved most of the maps for Bradford's later publication.

Kleine AUTOGRAMMKARTE mit eigenhändiger Unterschrift in Tinte signiert (1882).

Very good. Exhibits light wear along original fold lines. Left side remargined. Size 23.35 x 16.5 Inches. This is a 1900 C. H. Townsend and U.S. Fish Commission map of Atlantic Ocean Caribbean Sea floor samplings deeper than 100 fathoms. Red numbers identify these dredging locations and can be correlated with detailed data in USS Albatross archives. Stretching from Gulf of St. Lawrence south to northern South America including the Greater and Lesser Antilles and the Bahamas, dredgings marked were collected by the Albatross between 1883 and 1888. A large inset along the right border illustrates the entirety of South America and notes dredgings taken by the Albatross off the coast of Brazil and Chile. A smaller inset focuses on the Gulf of Mexico from New Orleans along the U.S. Gulf Coast to the Florida Keys and south to the Yucatan, with dredgings noted in the Gulf south of Mobile and around the Yucatan Peninsula. The USS Albatross This USS Albatross , also known as the USFC Albatross in scientific papers, was the first specifically built marine research vessel. Albatross operated in the Atlantic between December 1882 and November 1887, when she began her voyage to the Pacific Ocean. She arrived at the Straits of Magellan on January 23, 1888, and then continued up the coast of South America, stopping in the Galapagos briefly in April 1888. She operated along the U.S. Pacific coast and as far north as the Bering Sea and as far south as Panama between 1888 and 1898, when she was converted into an auxiliary cruiser for service during the Spanish-American War. After this work was finished, she sailed for Mexico, but did not see combat before peace treaties were signed. She immediately underwent conversion back to being a research vessel. After the retrofit, Albatross left San Francisco on August 23, 1899 and spent the next few months in the Central and South Pacific, before arriving in Yokohama, Japan, on March 4, 1900. Albatross continued her research work until she was transferred to the Navy on May 2, 1917, for service during World War I. She served with the American Patrol Detachment as a gunboat and protected tankers transporting oil and petroleum in the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico. After World War I, Albatross returned to research work, until she was decommissioned on October 29, 1921. She was sold to Thomas Butler and Company of Boston in June 1924, without her library, equipment, or instruments. Butler converted her into a school ship, then refitted her as a training ship for 'nautical students and cadets'. She left for Europe with 119 students on board on July 12, 1927. However, the students filtered off the ship at a succession of ports and by the time the Albatross reached Hamburg the crew demanded that she be auctioned off to satisfy their salaries. The paper trail goes cold in 1928 and her ultimate fate is unknown. Publication History and Census This map was created under the supervision of Charles Haskins Townsend for the U.S. Fish Commission. It was published in the 1900 U.S. Fish Commission report to Congress and printed by the Norris Peters Company. Neither the separate map nor the report in which it was printed are cataloged in OCLC.

Very good. Exhibits light wear along original fold lines. Left side remargined. Size 19.75 x 24.25 Inches. This is a 1900 C. H. Townsend and U.S. Fish Commission map of Atlantic and Pacific Ocean floor samplings less than 100 fathoms. Red numbers identify these dredging locations and can be correlated with detailed data in USS Albatross archives. Stretching from Japan to the Azores and from the Bering Sea to Cape Horn, dredgings marked were collected by the Albatross between 1883 and 1900. Unlike other maps in this series, dredging locations are marked in red but in many places dredging data is grouped geographically. Each grouping is labeled, including 'Bering Sea', 'Off Cal.', 'Off Washington' 'Off Col[ombia], and G. of Mex. And Vicinity.

Very good. Toning along fold line. Noticeable offsetting. Size 20 x 25 Inches. A lovely 1815 map of the Atlantic Ocean, including tracks of recent voyages, produced for the first edition of John Thomson's New General Atlas in 1817. It provides considerable useful information for mariners while also including some speculative features. A Closer Look Focusing on the North Atlantic, broadly defined (including the Mediterranean and Caribbean), this chart denotes the routes commonly taken by ships across the ocean, as well as those of recent notable voyages, such as the U.S.S. Insurgent or the track of Horatio Nelson in pursuit of the French fleet commanded by Pierre-Charles Villeneuve in the lead-up to the Battle of Trafalgar. Soundings, hazards, shoals, and information on winds are provided throughout. Unusually close attention is paid to confirmed and possible small islands, banks, rocks, and other features in the open ocean that might aid navigators. Even some of the features not noted as speculative turned out to be cartographic myths, such as 'St. Matthew Island' near bottom and 'Lake Atelukounipi' in Canada. But on the whole, a detailed and accurate overview of Transatlantic travel in the early 19th century. Publication History and Census This map was prepared and engraved in 1815 by J. (likely John) Moffat in Edinburgh for inclusion in the 1817 first edition of John Thomson's New General Atlas . It differs from most other maps in the atlas, which list John Menzies or Samuel John Neele as engraver. The individual listed here appears distinct from James Moffat, another Scottish engraver from Edinburgh, who spent most of his life in India and was known for his prints of daily life in Calcutta. The present map is not independently cataloged in the OCLC, while Thomson's entire atlas is well-represented in institutional collections. References: Rumsey 1007.056.

Good. Some 19th century repairs on verso, including stitched sailor repair in the lower left. Some soiling and tallow stains, upper left and below title. Working nautical chart. Pencil annotations here and there. Size 39.25 x 53.25 Inches. This is an expansive west-oriented 1858 J. H. Hobbs nautical map of the eastern Atlantic Ocean, covering England, Ireland, Scotland, the Faroe Islands, the English Channel, and the Bay of Biscay. The chart was likely intended to serve the late 19th-century British Herring Boom. A Closer Look Oriented to the east and centered on the British Isles, coverage embraces a vast swath of the eastern Atlantic Ocean from north of the Faroe Islands to northern Spain and part of the North Sea east of the British Isles. Countless depth soundings appear throughout, as well as annotations regarding shoals and other undersea dangers. Some nonspecific manuscript annotations here and there reference use at sea. There is a large inset in the lower right detailing the Pentland Firth. Inset of Pentland Frith During the 19th century, the Pentland Firth, a strait located between the northeastern tip of mainland Scotland and the Orkney Islands, was renowned for its treacherous waters and powerful tidal currents. It presented challenges to navigation, especially for the expanding fleets of herring boats capitalizing on the 19th-century British Herring Boom. The Firth was a critical passage for vessels moving between the Atlantic Ocean and the North Sea, making it strategically vital. Furthermore, its surrounding areas, influenced by the sea's bounty, saw communities grow and thrive on fishing, while tales of shipwrecks and sea lore became woven into the local cultural tapestry. Herring Boom From the mid to late 19th century, northern Europe experienced the Herring Boom, a period when vast shoals of Atlantic herring provided one of the most important and lucrative fisheries of the age. Herring had long been a dietary staple and export commodity, but improvements in catching methods - particularly the adoption of drift nets and later steam-powered vessels - allowed for much larger harvests. British ports in particular flourished as seasonal herring capitals. The trade supported thousands of fishermen, coopers, curers, and traders, while towns swelled with migrant workers, especially women who gutted and salted the fish for preservation and export to markets in Germany, Russia, and beyond. The boom reached a peak in the second half of the century, with herring dubbed the 'silver darlings' for their economic value. Yet it also brought cycles of overfishing, fluctuating stocks, and eventual decline, foreshadowing the ecological pressures that would later transform global fisheries. Blueback Charts Blueback nautical charts began appearing in London in the late 18th century. Bluebacks, as they came to be called, were privately published large-format nautical charts known for their distinctive blue paper backing. The backing, a commonly available blue manila paper traditionally used by publishers to wrap unbound pamphlets, was adopted as a practical way to reinforce the low-quality paper used by private chart publishers in an effort to cut costs. That being said, not all blueback charts are literally backed with blue paper; some are unbacked or backed with linen. Moreover, blueback charts, which were typically composed of multiple sheets, were designed in a modular fashion so that multiple charts could be joined to create truly massive custom maps suited for specific voyages. The earliest known blueback charts include a 1760 chart issued by Mount and Page, and a 1787 chart issued by Robert Sayer. The tradition took off in the early 19th century, when British publishers like John Hamilton Moore, Robert Blachford, James Imray, William Heather, John William Norie, Charles Wilson, David Steel, R. H. Laurie, and John Hobbs, among others, rose to dominate the chart trade. Bluebacks became so popular that the convention was embrac.

Very good. Pencil marks recording c. 1867 trans-Atlantic voyage. Size 25 x 37.25 Inches. This is a rare 1837 / c. 1851 Direccion Hidrografía nautical chart or maritime map of the Atlantic Ocean with manuscript notations relating to an 1864 voyage from Cadiz to Havana. Coverage extends from Labrador and the North Sea to the Equator, and from the Gulf of Mexico to the Mediterranean. The chart offers meticulous coastal detail throughout, as well as interesting annotations regarding sighting of rocks, banks, and reefs sighted along the central route between Europe and America. Such charts were used for broad voyage planning and open sea, smaller more detailed charts were then used for approaches to land. The Voyage of the Andaluza Pencil marks trace the route of the February - March 1865 voyage of the Andaluza , a Covadonga class Screw Schooner in the Spanish Navy built specifically for the Cuba route - decommissioned in 1865. There appear to have been two ships that left Cadiz at the same time and voyaged mostly within sight of one another as far as the Virgin Islands. This 'caravanning' was a common maritime practice, as it offered ships the opportunity to support one another on the long passage, and additional defense against piracy. It is possible at this point that the ships parted ways, as afterwards, the track of only one ship is recorded as it makes its way to Havana, then between Florida and the Bahamas before setting out for open sea and Europe. Publication History and Census This large nautical chart was first published in 1837 by the Spanish Direccion Hidrografía. The map was drawn by José Espejo Y Carré and engraved in Madrid by Clemente Noguera, with lettering added by Manuel Giraldos. Although no further publication date appears on the map, we note updates to about 1851. Appears from time to time on the market.
