Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. International Edition. "The year 1866 was signalized by a remarkable incident, a mysterious and puzzling phenomenon, which doubtless no one has yet forgotten. Not to mention rumours which agitated the maritime population; and excited the public mind, even in the interior of continents, seafaring men were particularly excited. Merchants, common sailors, captains of vessels, skippers, both of Europe and America, naval officers of all countries, and the Governments of several States on the two continents, were deeply interested in the matter. For some time past vessels had been met by "an enormous thing," a long object, spindle-shaped, occasionally phosphorescent, and infinitely larger and more rapid in its movements than a whale."

4to. 1 p. Image size: 180 : 225 mm. Overall size: 335 : 380 mm. A gorgeous sepia photograph depicting an early model of his George Washington sculpture on Mount Rushmore inscribed "For Hon. Jessie Jount [?] Sincerely yours Gutzon Borglum 1926 Head of Geo Washington being carved on Mount Rushmore South Dakota." Borglum studied art in San Francisco and Paris, but it was while living in New York with his wife, a scholar in Middle Eastern manuscripts, that he became interested in the ancient Mesopotamian art of carving massive political statues in immense natural formations. His first undertaking of this kind was the head of Abraham Lincoln carved from a six ton block of marble in 1901, followed by an equally impressive, but unfinished, carving of General Robert E. Lee. But it is Borglum's 6,000 square foot Mt. Rushmore National Memorial that comprises the apex of his style. Commissioned by the state of South Dakota, Borglum first created a series of models in his South Dakota studio before carving the faces of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt on the side of Six Grandfathers Mountain, a Sioux Nation sacred place, renamed Mt. Rushmore in 1885. The four heads, each sixty feet high, represent the founding of the nation, her political philosophy, preservation, and expansion and conservation. This massive undertaking, begun in 1927, was finished in 1941, the year of Borglum's death. Elegantly framed; not examined out of the frame.…

Good. Dissected and laid on linen with original slipcase. Slipcase has seen better days, but remains serviceable. Map exhibits a few water stains and toning, especially along fold lines, and is coming loose form the backing in places, but is generally stable. Size 110.5 x 100.5 Inches. An absolutely massive 1826 map of France by Alexis Donnet and Hyacinthe Langlois. The map was issued as the definitive map of France during the Bourbon Restoration (1814 - 1830), as the nation was recovering and reorganizing in the wake of the Napoleonic Wars (1803 - 1815). A Closer Look It is in essence a reduction of the great Cassini Triangulation, which produced a map of France on the staggering scale of 1:86400. While impressive and seminal, the Cassini map, being many times larger than the present map, was neither practical for looking at France as a whole nor viable for mass dissemination to government offices, schools, businesses, and other such entities. Moreover, being the finest map of France, the Cassini map was nationalized in the Dépot de la Guerre, who during the Napoleonic wars, suppressed it for military reasons. Following Napoleon's 100 Days, the Dépot de la Guerre began to loosen its hold on cartographic material, and an economically, socially, politically, and nationalistically floundering nation needed a new relatable national image. This map was thus published to make the Cassini triangulation practically disseminable and provide the French with a fresh overview of their nation. The map as a whole is exquisitely detailed, reflecting the extraordinary work of two generations of the Cassini family. Every village, road, city, battle site, chateau, and even rural churches is noted, all overlaying a detailed topographical map, indicating elevations, rivers, mountains, forests, fields, canals, swamps and mineralogical data. Milage on major routes between towns is noted. There is a map of Corsica and a key in the lower left. A statistical and administrative table appears in the lower right. Publication History and Census This map first appeared in 1817, just two years into the Bourbon Restoration. The current example is the 1826 second edition. It was designed by Alexis Donnet based upon the 1756 to 1815 Cassini model. It was engraved by R. Whal, Dandeleux, et Malo, with the lettering being the work of Pelicier et Lallemand. Updates over the 1815 Cassini were completed by Fremin, a geographer at the Dépot de la Guerre. It was printed by Imprimerie Malo and published in Paris by Hyacinthe Langlois. The work typically appears bound a single volume, this being the only example we have seen dissected and laid on linen as a massive folding wall map. There are several subsequent editions, each with considerable revisions, published in 1844, 1849 and 1855. We note about 6 examples of the 1826 edition in a variety of European institutions, but see no comparable examples in the United States. We note one example, 1817, sold at Sotheby's in 2022, fetching about 5000 USD, including premium. References: OCLC 642817369.…
