Condition: Very Good. London, William Faden, 1786 ('3rd Edition'). An engraved map with original hand-colouring (printed from two plates, combined printed surface approximately 365 × 718 mm, sheet size 395 × 761 mm). Vertical centrefold crease, as issued; remnants of an old guard on the verso; faint offsetting and a couple of tr…ifling marks; right-hand sheet slightly creased; verso tanned; left- and right-hand margins with a few short closed tears and tapestains (well clear of the plate mark and easily matted out); in excellent condition. A scarce double hemisphere map of the world, likely from Faden's 'General Atlas of the World', showing the tracks of Cook's three voyages of exploration, and a fictitious southern coastline of Australia (labelled 'New Holland | Terra Australis'). The two plates are dated '28th October 1786' and 'Decr. 1st 1786' respectively; the imprint was later updated to 1790, so this example, printed on sturdy wove paper, is probably a relatively early impression.

Contact seller4-star seller1st Edition. Very good. Minor foxing. Original platemark visible. Size 13 x 12 Inches. This is a beautiful first edition 1834 David Burr map of the Eastern Hemisphere. It covers the entirety of Asia, Africa and Europe as well as Australia and the East Indies and much of the Pacific. Important cities, rivers, islands and mountain…s, along with other topographical features are noted. Although 'New Holland' officially changed its name to Australia in 1824, it is here referred to by its older Dutch name, a term that would fall out of favor shortly after this map was printed. The interior however, is entirely unexplored. In Africa, the source of the White Nile is set in the speculative Mountains of the Moon. The interiors of Africa and Asia here follow archaic geographical conventions - giving evidence to the general lack of knowledge about these regions in the early 19th century. The Great Wall of China is noted, but not identified. According to Ristow, although Burr is credited on the title page, he left this atlas incomplete. He was appointed as topographer to the U.S. Post Office, and of the sixty-three maps finally included in this atlas, only completed eight. The rest of the maps were then completed by Illman and Pilbrow in Burr's style. The map was 'Entered according to act of Congress in the year 1834 by Illman & Pilbrow in the Clerk's office of the District Court for the Southern District of New York', but not published until the atlas was released in 1835. Engraved and Printed by Illman & Pilbrow and published by D. S. Stone in Burr's New Universal Atlas . References: Rumsey 4628.001. Philips (Atlases) 771.

Contact seller4-star sellerVery good condition. Minor discoloration along original centerfold. Minor dampstaining in lower margins. Blank on verso. Size 22 x 20 Inches. A rare and important 1818 map of the Eastern Hemisphere by John Pinkerton. Depicts Asia, Europe, Africa and Australia. This map offers fairly accurate shorelines throughout. In Africa, the… interior remains unexplored except for the Congo, the Cape Colony, the gold mining regions of Monomotapa, and Abyssinia. The speculative Mountains of Kong, supposed source of the Niger, cross the western part of the continent. The apocryphal Mountains of the Moon, just south of Abyssinia, are mapped but not labeled. The coasts of Australia are accurate but the interior is vague and unknown. In Asia there are several notations regarding unexplored territories in southwestern China and Central Asia. Far to the north, in the high Arctic, there is a partial land mass with the note 'Coast discovered by the Hunters employed by m. Liakhov.' This land refers to the Lyakhov Islands, discovered in the 1770s by Russian Fur trader Ivan Lyakhov. These islands, part of New Siberia, were said to have such an abundance of fossilized mammoth ivory that many of the smaller islands were formed from it in their entirety. Lyakhov himself brought back 10,000 tons of Ivory on his first trip and subsequent traders are said to have brought back as much as 100,000 tons in the following 20 years. Drawn by L. Herbert and engraved by Samuel Neele under the direction of John Pinkerton. The map comes from the scarce American edition of Pinkerton's Modern Atlas, published by Thomas Dobson & Co. of Philadelphia in 1818. References: Rumsey 0732.002. Phillips (Atlases) 724.

Contact seller4-star sellerVery good. A few verso repairs and reinforcement along original fold lines, especially at fold intersections. Some wormholing. Measurement gives is for both sheets, side by side. Size 75 x 125 Inches. This is an enormous Meiji 9 or 1876 Japanese double hemisphere world map set by Iwakichi Hayami. A Closer Look Composed of two gi…gantic panels, each measuring 75 x 62 inches, this map covers the entire world on a hemispherical projection. The left side focuses on the Western Hemisphere, cover from Greenland to Antarctica. The countries of the Americas are highlighted with major cities and riverways identified. The right side details the Eastern Hemisphere including Africa, Europe, Asia, Indochina, the East Indies, and Australia. Japan is highlighted in bright red. Some maritime routes and regional boundaries are noted. Hayami offers a very Japanese worldview superimposed upon an, at least in theory, somewhat modern world map. Note, nonetheless, how some places are diminished and other exaggerated in size to reflect not only their importance to Japan, but also Japan's perspective regarding its own position on the world stage. Korea and China, for example appear disproportionally small when compared to Japan. Hawaii, by contrast is proportionally enormous reflecting perceived strategic importance and long-standing Japanese interest the Pacific archipelago. Most countries are illustrated as a block, with no internal states or divisions noted. The notable difference is Australia, another area of Japanese interest, which has here been divided into its constituent states. Publication History and Census This map was drawn by Iwakichi Hayami and published in Japan by Saikichi O?shima.

Contact seller4-star seller1st Edition. Very good. Double Sided. Light wear along original fold lines. Old cellophane tape repair on Asia side in border. Size 30.5 x 20.5 Inches. This is a double-sided 1949 E.O. Seymour pictorial air route map of the world in hemispheres for British Overseas Airways Corporation (B.O.A.C.). The Western Hemisphere appears o…n one side, and the Eastern Hemisphere occupies the other. Black lines trace B.O.A.C. routes and those of affiliated airlines. Pictorial vignettes highlight landmarks throughout the world, many of which fall outside of B.O.A.C.'s network. Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany, the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul, St. Basil's Cathedral in Moscow, New York's world-famous skyline, and Chateau Frontenac in Québec City all adorn this excellent map. Cultural vignettes, many of which portray a given part of the world in the most stereotypical manner possible, also decorate the hemispheres. A bullfight in Spain, individuals in 'traditional dress' throughout Africa and East Asia, a man standing next to a reindeer in Finland, a Mountie in Canada, dancers in Argentina, and an Australian aborigine all make appearances. The B.O.A.C. Speedbird adorns the pseudo-metallic border. The Speedbird The 'Speedbird,' appearing on this map in the right and left corners, is a stylized emblem of a bird in flight designed in 1932 by Theyre Lee-Elliott as the logo of Imperial Airways. When Imperial Airways merged with British Airways Ltd., forming the British Overseas Airways Corporation or B.O.A.C., the logo was retained. B.O.A.C. eventually became British Airways. The Speedbird logo continued to be used until finally being retired in 1984. Publication History and Census This map was drawn by E.O. Seymour and published by the British Overseas Airways Corporation in 1949. An example is part of the David Rumsey Map Collection. References: Rumsey 14072.001. Rumsey 14072.002.

Contact seller4-star sellerVery good. Some wear on old fold lines. Size 42.25 x 38.94 Inches. A rare 1873 or Meiji 6 wall map of the Eastern Hemisphere by the Japanese geographer Gaiko Oya (?? ??). The map follows the early Meiji Restoration convention of copying cartography from western sources. The practice was intended to modernize Japanese geographica…l conceptions and place Japan into a geographically accurate global reference. A Closer Look Coverage here extends pole to pole and from West Africa to the Solomon Islands. Countries are defined by color coding in a finely executed 4-color system. The map is also quite large, underscoring that it was produced for classroom use at the Ishikawa Prefecture School. The map would have hung on the wall or, more likely, laid on the floor, where school children could walk around the map, studying it from different angles. Japan Finds a Place on the Global Stage This map illustrates Japan's emergence from an insular feudal nation to a rising power on the world's social, military, and economic stage. The arrival of Commodore Perry and the forced opening of Japan in 1853 transformed Japan's vision of itself, breaking the illusion that it was the sole repository of civilization and underscoring the truth that it was indeed well behind Western powers. The Meiji Restoration followed and was characterized by a major reorganization of government, a reassertion of imperial power, and a drive towards aggressive industrial and social modernization. Japan's victory over Imperial Russia in the Russo-Japanese War (1904 - 1905) marked the first major victory in war by an Asian power over a European Power, an achievement that established Japan as a global power. Publication History and Census This map was drawn by Gaiko Oya (?? ??) based on unnamed Western sources and published for the Ishikawa Prefecture School Collection. (?? ???????????). The map is rare. We note only one other known example, which is part of the collection at the National Diet Library in Japan.
