Alaska

This large scale map came from Rand McNally's Commercial Atlas of America. The Rand McNally Atlas was unusual for its time because it was designed to be used by merchants and shippers. Therefore this map is exceptionally detailed in that it shows every railroad, post office, and small town in existence at that time. Many towns shown in this map have since ceased to exist, or have been swallowed up by larger towns. This map is therefore the definitive reference for how North America looked at the turn of the century. Every railroad is featured in a table in margin of map.

Alcatraz Island
|
After the ravages of the Civil War had torn at the heart and innocence of the US, America longed to return to its optimistic simplicity. During this time of growing pains, a publication was made that showed the landscape and development of the US at the time. It was title Picturesque America and utilized some of the greatest artists of the time to show, not just the lay of the land, but the character of an area. They produced a wildly successful series of images that could be subscribed to, or later purchased bound in a book. The images are romantic views, yet still very accurate. It provides the viewer with an interesting blend of history and the timbre of the age. Here we see the classic island off the coast of San Francisco, with beautiful framing. With ornate inner liner, textured mat, wood frame and UV protecting glass this image has been archivally framed.

America Noviter Delineata
|
This landmark map by Hondius, incorporated the influence of Mercator along with the latest information, and became a pattern for cartographers to follow. Initially engraved and published by Jodocus Hondius, this map was trimmed, and republished by his son Henrico in 1636. This map influenced a generation of cartographers who studied and reproduced this map in their own works, such as Merian and Janson. The map itself shows us an intricately detailed view of the new world, with a substantively accurate South America and a North America that still contained a severe distortion of the western coast. Insets show us the theorized nature of the North Pole and the fabled contours of a supposed South Pole. The oceans abound with dramatically illustrated masted ships and numerous sea monsters. Handsome strap work surrounds the title block, as well as the map insets. Two small vignettes in the interior of South America appear to show us Europeans meeting an native king, and in Brazil, a small party of cannibals. This is a map of the western hemisphere full of the legend, speculation and wonder of the time.

America Septentrionalis... (North America)
|
This is a striking map of the new world, with bold hand color and some very notable qualities. Showing the colonial possesions of several nations, we see the Spanish developments in the southwest, French territories throughout Canada and the western Mississippi valley, as well as the British colonies. With suprisingly accurate depictions of rivers and coasts, this map provides a reasonably proportionate image of an expansive land. Borders are well distinguished by color, yet there are hints of expansion as the borders of the southern colonies not only extend to the Mississippi, but continue beyond into the French Louisiana territory. The map is well complimented by a large decorative cartouche showing Native American and a European settler. This is a classicly handsome map in very good condition.
