Delightful colour pictorial folding manuscript plan, 28 x 39cm, folds into attractive pictorial card covers measuring 14 x 10cm, annotation on washi attached. Very good copy of a charming map. This delightful manuscript colour map of Gokokuji and its compound in Tokyo provides a detailed depiction of the temple, which was establ…ished in 1681 by the fourth Shogun, Tokugawa Tsunayoshi and can still be found in Tokyo today. The map highlights the main hall, where the Goddess of Mercy is enshrined, along with the surrounding halls and buildings within the temple complex. In the upper section and margin of the map, additional notes have been added in neat ink handwriting. Unfortunately, the content of these annotations remains undeciphered. This map not only offers a fascinating glimpse into the layout and architecture of Gokokuji but also serves as a valuable historical artefact, reflecting the temple's importance during the period in which the map was created.

Contact seller4-star sellerExcellent. Size 15.375 x 20.625 Inches. This is August Szontagh's remarkable 1842 manuscript map of Stockholm, Sweden. The map captures Stockholm during a period of expansion and civic infrastructure reform. Though likely academic rather than administrative, this plan exhibits the meticulous style we've come to associate with mi…litary engineering draftsmanship. A Closer Look This intricately detailed and expertly drawn manuscript map is so well done that it appears at first glance to be a copperplate print. It is even more noteworthy for being a purely sui generis work rather than a hand copy of an existing map. The map covers from the modern districts of Norrmalm, Vasastan, and Östermalm, famous for their parks and late 19th-century architecture, southwards to the Årstaviken and Hammarby Sjö, westward to include the entire island of Kungsholmen, and eastward to include the islands of Djurgården. The elevation is indicated by hachure, with terrain shaded to indicate nature and use (buildings, farms, forests, gardens, etc.). Streets and city blocks are neatly traced, while country roads, paths, and bridges are similarly marked out. Several features throughout the map are labeled, mostly islands, islets, and waterways. Several buildings are easily recognizable from their location and shape, such as the Royal Palace (Kungliga Slottet) and the historic Kastellet Stockholm. Historical Context Although Sweden had been one of the great European powers of the 17th and early 18th centuries, it was heavily impacted by its loss in the Great Northern War (1700 - 1721), being supplanted by Russia and, to a lesser extent, Prussia as the major powers in northern Europe. In one respect, the war had a beneficial impact in that it temporarily empowered the parliament vis-à-vis the monarchy, leading to the era after the Great Northern War being dubbed the Age of Liberty. However, economically and demographically, Sweden was falling far behind; some early industrial ventures were launched, but the economy remained overwhelmingly agricultural. Influenced by developments elsewhere in Europe, Sweden shifted towards absolute monarchy under Gustav III (r. 1771 - 1792) but was incapable of fending off a French invasion, a coup d'état, and the loss of Finland to Russia in the course of the Napoleonic Wars (1803 - 1815). Not long after this map's publication, however, both Stockholm and Sweden underwent significant changes. Stockholm, in particular, embraced industrialization with railroads, factories, and modern infrastructure, as well as a comprehensive city plan in 1866, inspired by the same ideas that drove Haussmann's renovation of Paris. Large portions of the city, especially the Klara district in Norrmalm, were radically transformed, and by the end of the 19th century, they would hardly resemble the city seen here. Publication History and Census This map was drawn by one August Szontagh and is dated 1842. Szontagh's identity is a mystery; he presumably was a German-speaker as that is the language of the map, and he gives himself the title 'burgakademiker,' which suggests an official scholarly position. But we have been unable to identify any historical sources with a person by this name and title, though an 1875 issue of the weekly publication Fremden-Blatt issued in Vienna refers to 'Oberst August Szontagh' attending an anniversary celebration for an infantry regiment stationed in Lemberg (Lviv). In this case, perhaps Szontagh was an Austrian infantry officer who had prepared this map during a sojourn in Stockholm. In any event, the map does not closely resemble any of the major contemporaneous printed maps of the city, taking in a wider perspective than usual that includes the city's hinterland (for comparison, see the more than 100 maps listed in the category page in the Wikimedia Commons titled '19th-century maps of Stockholm'). The lack of a stated scale, the idiosyncratic appearance of some of the city's islands and features, and the a.

Contact seller4-star sellerVery good. Dissected and mounted on linen in 35 panels. Size 39.75 x 31 Inches. This is a 1939 Bureau of Highways and Sewers city map or plan of Brooklyn, New York featuring manuscript notations highlighting railroad lines in the borough. The map depicts the region from The Narrows and Staten Island (labeled as Borough of Richmo…nd) to Jamaica Bay and from Long Island City to the Atlantic Ocean. Myriad streets throughout Brooklyn are illustrated and labeled, along with the borough's many parks. Both Prospect Park and Greenwood Cemetery are illustrated in detail. Floyd Bennet Field, an airfield near Jamaica Bay, is also labeled. Some detail is present along the East River in Manhattan, including the Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan Bridge, and Williamsburg Bridge spanning the river between Manhattan and Brooklyn. Manuscript Railroad Lines Several rail lines throughout Brooklyn are highlighted here in manuscript with different colors used to differentiate between the lines and a key is situated in the lower left corner. The orange lines indicate routes and yards owned by the Long Island Railroad (L.I.R.R.), including the Montauk Branch (from Long Island City and Bushwick and originally known as the South Side Railroad of Long Island) and the Bay Ridge Branch (originally opened as the New York, Bay Ridge and Jamaica Railroad in 1876). Today, only freight trains operate along the Bay Ridge Branch. The South Brooklyn Railway, which was founded in 1887, is marked here in purple. This railway operated under several different names and owners until it was acquired by the Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit Corporation in in the mid-1920s. Operation was transferred to the city on June 1, 1940, but use continued to decline throughout the second half of the 20th century. Today, the South Brooklyn Railway runs freight operations from the 36th-38th Street Yard, but most of the traffic is subway connections to the L.I.R.R. Bay Ridge Branch. Two specific rail networks, those used at the Bush Terminal and at the New York Docks are marked as well. Publication History and Census This map is most likely one of a kind. The base map was created and published by the Division of Street Plan Records of the Bureau of Highways and Sewers of the Office of the President of the Borough of Brooklyn in 1939, and we have been unable to locate any other known examples. That said, this example was repurposed by the Pennsylvania Railroad to illustrate railroad routes and ferries, making it a unique find.
