Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 391 pages. Published in 1994. The author's second novel. One of Jane Hamilton's finest achievements. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions, particularly the "Oprah Book Club"-stamped edition. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Jane Hamilton's "A Map of The World". A stunning exploration of how one careless moment can cause irrevocable and devastating change. "Alice Goodwin is caring for her best friend's children when two-year-old Lizzy Collins wanders to the pond on the Goodwin farm and drowns. The consequences of this tragedy reverberate through a small Wisconsin community, which never accepted Howard and Alice Goodwin. Jane Hamilton has removed all doubts that she belongs among the major writers of our time" (San Francisco Chronicle). An absolute "must-have" title for Jane Hamilton collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the title page by Jane Hamilton. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a late-modern classic. This is one of few such signed copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce signed copy thus. Winner of the PEN/Hemingway Award in 1989 for "The Book of Ruth". One of the finest American writers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER JANE HAMILTON TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 0385473109.

Condition: Good +. 11¾" x 21", in frame measuring 13½" x 23¾". Manuscript map in pen and ink, highlighted in pink, yellow, and blue. Good plus: not examined outside of frame, a few tears, chips and small losses. This is an exquisite world map in pen and ink. We think it's English in origin as there is a notation on the far left of the equator in the Western Hemisphere which reads "Longitude West from London." We imagine the artist used a map dated 1824 or earlier, as Australia is drawn as "New Holland" whereas "Australia" was officially adopted by the British in 1824. Everything West of the Mississippi is denoted as "New Mexico," North and South America are outlined in yellow, while Africa and New Holland are outlined in blue.

Title page to Sei libri Della Cosmographia Universale [with map]. Sebastian Munster. Basel, 1558. 303mm x 185mm. This leaf is from the first Italian translation. Hand-colored title page with world map of the eastern hemisphere. Features a ship sailing in the Indian Ocean. The world is surrounded by a ring of clouds and then a ring of fire, with four wind heads blowing from the corners. On verso is a portrait of Sebastian Munster at age 60. Slight wrinkling of sheet on the outer edges. Overall toning. Previous owner notations to recto. Coloring is still bright, and very well done. The Cosmographia by Sebastian Münster from 1544 is the earliest German description of the world. It had numerous editions in different languages including Latin, French (translated by François de Belleforest), Italian, English, and even Czech. The last German edition was published in 1628, long after his death. The Cosmographia was one of the most successful and popular books of the 16th century. It passed through 24 editions in 100 years. This success was due to the fascinating woodcuts (some by Hans Holbein the Younger, Urs Graf, Hans Rudolph Manuel Deutsch, and David Kandel). It was most important in reviving geography in 16th century Europe.

Reference: Fauser, Nr. 8574 Georg Balthasar Probst (1673-1748) was a german engraver and publisher in Augsburg, located in Germany. He produced architectural views of places around the world intended as vues d'optiques, which were published in various places during the last half of the 18th century, including Paris, Augsburg and London. He was also known for his portraits. Probst came from an extended family of printers, whose businesses can all be traced back to the publishing firm of Jeremias Wolff (1663-1724). After Wolff's death his firm was continued as "Wolff's Heirs" (Haeres Jer. Wolffii) by his son-in-law Johann Balthasar Probst (1689-1750). After Probst's death in 1750, his descendants divided the business and published under their own imprints: Johann Friedrich Probst (1721-1781), Georg Balthasar Probst (1732-1801) and Johann Michael Probst. Another part of the Wolff-Probst firm was acquired by the Augsburg publisher Johann Georg Hertel (1700-1775), whose son Georg Leopold Hertel had married a sister of the Probsts. In the next generation, Georg Mathäus Probst (d. 1788), son of Georg Balthasar Probst, also became an engraver of portraits and views.
