Scarce first edition, first printing of “Liber Chronicarum” or “Nuremberg Chronicle”, the 15th century illustrated history of the world, widely considered the high point of printed books in the post-Gutenberg incunable era. Nuremberg: Anton Koberger for Sebald Schreyer and Sebastian Kammermeister, 12 July 1493. Written by the Nuremberg doctor and humanist Hartmann Schedel, and largely illustrated by Michael Wolgemut’s workshop, with many views reportedly completed by Albrecht Durer, who apprenticed with Wolgemut at the time.

One of the most important books on the history of America (cited by Borba de Moraes, Howes, Sabin and Wing), the 1671 first edition of ”America: Being the Latest and Most Accurate Description of the New World”. Privately printed in London by the author, Arnoldus Montanus, and edited by John Ogilby. In ”America” Montanus goes into great detail of the new continents, with dozens of engravings of Native Americans, species of animals and reptiles, and the landscapes and settlements in the new world, accompanied by text. The book covers speculation regarding the earliest voyages to America, along with later recorded voyages and the settlements of New Netherlands/New York, New England, Hudson’s Bay, Labrador, Canada, Nova Scotia, Maryland, Virginia, (including Captain Smith’s capture and rescue by Pocahontas), Carolinas, Florida and California, plus accounts of Mexico and nearby islands, even including Australia and New Zealand. 674pp. book contains 75 original engravings (64 copper plates within the text and 9 plates throughout), lacking the maps and 28 engravings, which is typical as this edition is almost never found with all plates intact. All text is complete except for missing pages 445-446. Large format book measures 10” x 15”. Bound in original full leather boards, with some loss of leather to covers, cracking along spine and front board detached. Interior text is near fine and very readable. An important and fascinating addition to early knowledge of the American continent. Sold for $9,375.
John White’s Map of Virginia From 1590 — The First Printed Map of Virginia and North Carolina
An important 16th century North American map known not only for its level of detail and accuracy, but also for its “firsts”: the first printed map of Virginia and North Carolina, the first to use Virginia in its title, the first to name the Chesapeake Bay, and also the first regional map showing the Roanoke Colony. Frankfurt: Theodor de Bry (engraver) for inclusion in his “Anglorum in Virginiam aduentus”, 1590.
Map is based on the work of cartographer, artist and explorer John White, one of the first settlers and Governor of the Roanoke Colony who, after sailing back to the Colony from England in 1587, had found all the colonists famously missing, their fate a mystery still unsolved. Philip Burden, who wrote the definitive reference book, “The Mapping of North America”, wrote of this map: “One of the most significant cartographical milestones in colonial North American history…the most accurate map drawn in the sixteenth century of any part of that continent.”
This full-sheet engraved map still retains its dark print, with the English Royal Arms at top left, and artistic touches throughout such as ships and sea monsters in the open ocean, and Native American canoeists in the inland waters. Map is the second state, with “C” laid over the “E” in Ehesepiooc. Map measures 16.675″ x 12.25″, nicely matted and framed to a size of 28″ x 23.5″. Expert repair to single vertical fold, and small area of repair to lower right corner, just touching the edge of the ship, where paper loss has been replaced. Overall in very good to near fine condition given age, displaying beautifully. Sold for $6,665.

Issued separately by Sayer and Bennett, who also published “the American Military Pocket Atlas,” that year for the use of British officers.

Map of Texas, Oregon and California From 1846
“A New Map of Texas Oregon and California with the Regions Adjoining. Compiled from the most recent authorities.” By cartographer Samuel Augustus Mitchell, published in 1846 as a pocket map, and considered the definitive map for settlers in the nation’s westward expansion during the Gold Rush. Philadelphia: Published by S. Augustus Mitchell, 1846. With contemporary hand-coloring, folding map by engraver H.N. Burroughs was Mitchell’s most important map, considered the defacto standard and thereby affecting subsequent maps of the area.

An inset to lower left entitled “Emigrant Route from Missouri to Oregon”, provides the distance between western cities and landmarks, undoubtedly aiding weary travelers. With decorative scrollwork along the margins, map measures 21″ x 22.5″ unfolded, nicely matted and framed to a size of 34.5″ x 41.5″. Some expert repair at fold separations and mild fading, overall in very good condition. Sold for $4,800.
Scarce First Edition, First Printing Map of London Just After the Great Fire in 1666, by Wenceslaus Hollar
A very rare first printing of the post-Great Fire map of London by noted artist and engraver to the King, Wenceslaus Hollar. After the Great Fire swept across London in September 1666, destroying nearly 90% of the homes, Hollar almost immediately produced this map, titled “A MAP or GROUNDPLOT of the Citty of London”, noted for its accuracy and attention to detail. Printed in London by John Overton, 1666. Appointed by King Charles II to document the destruction, Hollar was able to quickly plot the map based on his previous but failed passion project – to produce the greatest map of London that ever existed. Hollar used those previous drawings as the basis for his post-Great Fire map, adding detail for areas that survived the fire, and foregoing details for the destroyed areas. The result was an immensely popular and well-received map that grounded Hollar’s reputation as engraver and cartographer. In this first printing – distinguished by the placement of the legend, inset map and scale of the city, Hollar documents the destruction of London, from Lincoln’s Inn Fields in the west to East Smith’s Field in the east, including the Great Tower of London, and from just south of the Thames River in the south to Bunhill Fields Burial Ground in the north. An inset to churches throughout the city “and other remarkable places” is present, as is a scale for the map. Finally, an inset map showing a larger portion of London is found at lower left, including Westminster which narrowly missed the fire’s path. Map is astonishingly complete and detailed given the speed that Hollar produced it, with printed signature appearing at bottom of inset map, “W. Hollar fecit [Latin, ‘he made’] 1666″. Map measures 14.5″ x 12”. Light toning and faint creasing, small quarter-inch closed tear at lower left margin, and spot of discoloration at mid-right margin. Mounting remnants on verso. Overall near fine condition given age. Sold for $4,383.
17th Century Hand-Colored Map of the Americas by Noted Cartographer Willem Blaeu — Entitled “A New Map of America”
One of the few maps of the Americas by renowned 17th century Dutch cartographer Willem Blaeu, published in Amsterdam, circa 1640s, entitled “Americae Nova Tabula” or “A New Map of America”. Hand-colored engraved map is accentuated with a sea monster and galleon ships in the body of the map, with Blaeu further decorating the side borders with semi-nude and costumed figures, and the top border with geographical areas such as Mexico and Havana. Of this particular map, the expert Philip Burden has stated, “This is one of only a few maps relating to North America by Blaeu. Its visual appeal is enhanced greatly by the inclusion of three decorative borders. These are drawn from various sources, including Theodore de Bry.” Map measures 23.75″ x 19.25″, matted to 28″ x 22.25″. French text printed on verso. Mild, uniform toning and archival repair to verso, overall in exceptional near fine condition given age. Sold for $4,000.
