Auction Details
Maps & Atlases
This December sale is set to include a wide assortment of maps and graphics chronicling the advancement of knowledge of the world from the sixteenth through the twentieth century. Featured themes will be maps of the American continent from its early colonial settlement, the Revolutionary War. The period of growth and expansion in the West, all the way to some of the earliest established commercial airline flight paths in 1929.
Highlights include a set of unassembled engraved gore segments which construct Vincenzo Coronelli?s enormous 42-inch terrestrial globe from 1688. Several unique manuscript maps will also be on offer, including a neatly detailed hand-drawn account of an extensive hike from New York City through New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania in the summers of 1860 and 1861 by a recent engineering graduate of the Brooklyn Collegiate Polytechnic Institute, only months before beginning his career as a Navy paymaster during the Civil War.
