An attractive 1850 map of North and South America by George Frederick Cruchley. The map covers all of North America as well as South America from the Arctic to Cape Horn. In North America, Russian and British territories in Alaska and Canada are clearly noted. In South America, Chili extends southward only to the border of Patagonia, while Bolivia has a coast. Cruchley divides the territories and countries with color coding and notes major cities, rivers, mountains etc. This is a scarce, beautiful, and exceptionally interesting example of John Pinkerton's stunning 1812 map of the Western Hemispheres. The map is a representation of North America and South America from the perspective of the Western Hemisphere. Cartographically this map represents a notable attempt to combine cartographic speculation with new discoveries and political advocacy and is most interesting for its presentation of North America. This is a very attractive and rare c. 1860 jigsaw puzzle atlas published by Alexandre Delamarche. It consists of a custom box containing six jigsaw puzzle maps: South America, France, Europe, Asia, the World in hemispheres, and North America with the United States. This is the largest puzzle map we have seen, being nearly 50% larger than most other examples in this style. Each map is mounted on a board and dissected as a jigsaw puzzle. This is a beautiful set of two maps of the World on hemispherical projections from Sidney Hall's extremely scarce 1835 New General Atlas . They depict the Western and Eastern Hemispheres offering a fascinating snapshot of the world during a period of rapid globalization and discovery. Both maps note towns, rivers, mountains, deserts, islands, and various other important topographical details. A scarce, beautiful, and exceptionally interesting example of John Pinkerton's stunning 1812 map of North America and South America. The map covers all of North American, Central America, the Gulf of Mexico, South America, and the Caribbean. It extends northwards as far as Greenland and Alaska, incorporating the full Hudson Bay, southwards include all of South America, eastwards to Europe and Africa, and westwards to Hawaii, the Aleutian Islands, and the Friendly Islands. This is an example of Mitchell's 1839 map of the World in hemispheres. Divided into three separate maps, the first map details the world on an equatorial projection, covering the Western and eastern Hemispheres. The route of the 'U.S. exploring expedition' in the years 1838 � 1842 is noted. The second map features the world on a polar projection featuring the Southern and the Northern Hemispheres. Maps are coded according to continents, countries are named but boundaries are not shown. This is a fine example of the 1866 Mitchell map of the Western Hemisphere or the Americas. Offering a fascinating snapshot of the world during a period of rapid globalization and discovery, this map of the Western Hemisphere includes North America, South America and most of Polynesia. Antarctica is only tenuously denoted, reflecting the primitive state of exploration in the region. The eastern Hemisphere map includes Africa, Asia, europe and Australia. This is a fine example of Adam and Charles Black's 1851 map of the World in two hemispheres. Both the Western and eastern Hemispheres are drawn and offer a fascinating snapshot of the world during a period of rapid globalization and discovery. Africa and Australia are largely unmapped in the interiors with coastlines accurately rendered. The coast of Antarctica is drawn in sketchily, based upon early expeditions. This is an example of David M. Warren's 1879 map of the Western Hemisphere. Offering a fascinating snapshot of the world during a period of rapid globalization and discovery, this map includes North America, South America and most of Polynesia. Antarctica is only tenuously denoted, reflecting the primitive state of exploration in the region. Throughout, the map identifies various cities, towns, rivers, deserts, islands, mountain passes and an assortment of additional topographical details. This is a beautiful example of the 1887 Tunison map of the Western Hemisphere. It covers from the Arctic Ocean and Greenland south as far as the Antarctica. The map is surrounded by flags of various countries, including the United States, Japan, egypt, Turkey, Russia, Tunis, New Zealand, among others. The lefts top and bottom quadrants depict the lengths of rivers and the altitudes of important cities respectively. An excellent 1855 first edition example of Colton's map of the Western Hemisphere. Offering a fascinating snapshot of the world during a period of rapid globalization and discovery, this map includes North America, South America and most of Polynesia. Antarctica is only tenuously denoted, reflecting the primitive state of exploration in the region. This map also identifies various cities, towns, rivers, rapids, mountain passes and an assortment of additional topographical details. A delightfully whimsical 1846 map of the two hemispheres, from a German kinderatlas or children's atlas. The map details both the western and eastern hemispheres dividing the continents of Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia in the eastern hemisphere and America (north and south) on the western hemisphere with color coding. The whole is surrounded by a wide border featuring various charming vignettes meant to illustrate the indigenous peoples and cultures from different parts of the world. This is Karl von Spruner�s 1855 map of North and South America �up to 1776,� including Greenland to the North, Tierra Del Fuego and Falkland Islands to the south, and the British Isles and Scandinavia in the upper right quadrant. The map shows locations of indigenous groups and color-coded European possessions, and a largely blank western North America, except for rivers. An extremely scarce 1796 map of north and south America by C. Mannert. Depicts the Americas shortly following the close of the American Revolutionary War in 1783. The whole is color coded according to political conventions, with British controlled territories in Red, Spanish dominions in yellow, French in green, and the fledgling United States in blue-green. This is an extremely rare example of Desnos and Brion de la Tour's c. 1760 mapping of America. Covers both North America and South America from Greenland to Cape Horn. Overall the general form of the continents exhibit an craggy and exceptionally rugged coast line - a step back from some more advanced maps of this region available at the time. The cartography of North America, particularly the pre-Cook northwest is speculative and indistinct. This is Finley�s desirable 1827 map of the Western Hemisphere. Includes North America, South America and most of Polynesia. Identifies rivers, mountain rangers, lakes, and major cities. Color coded according to continent. Includes New Zealand and parts of Siberia. Engraved by Young and Delleker for the 1827 edition of Anthony Finley's General Atlas . A rare and important 1818 map of the Western Hemisphere by John Pinkerton. Depicts North America, Central America and South America as well as parts of Polynesia, Siberia and Greenland. In North America, thanks primarily to the work of Cook in the Pacific Northwest the coasts are rendered with considerable accuracy. The interior of North America, particularly the American West, is still rather vague, though much of the cartography is clearly derived from Humboldt's explorations. This is a rare Japanese folding map of the Western Hemisphere dated June 15, 1879 or Meiji 12. Depicts North America and South America on a hemispherical projection. Shows parts of Antarctica, New Zealand, Greenland, and Siberia. Most of the individual U.S. States and territories are labeled and color coded based upon a configuration prevalent in 1860.
