BRITISH AMERICAN PLANTATIONS / NORTHWEST COAST MAPS Urban Sylvanus David Henry Editor. Emanuel Bowen cartographer; William Hogar
Gentleman's Magazine and Historical Register.January to December 1754. With maps: "British American Plantations" by Bowen and "Discoveries of Admiral de Fontes."
London.: D. Henry and R. Cave at St. John's Gate. Volume XXIV. 1754. Bound volume 3/4 leather binding spine perished covers detached and very worn; 8 3/4 x 5 1/4 inches; title page and preface; 603 pp and index. Bookplate on verso of front cover of Richard Pulteney MD the English physician who advanced acceptance of Linnaean taxonomy and the author of the first English language biography of the botanist. It appears the volume subsequently became the property of the Exeter City Library as is affirmed by the presence of several circular ink stamps on various pages. Volume notable for two uncolored maps "British American Plantations" by Bowen and "Discoveries of Admiral de Fontes." One plate Bridge at Blois suffers a clean tear along one fold. With regard to the plates the volume has been eccentrically bound. Several plates are not present others are bound not according to the publisher's instructions while there are present plates from other sources. These plates are of eminent men of the time and are inserted at intervals throughout the volume. Overall contents in good condition with plates bright and clean--although somewhat of a grab bag in terms of their organization plus the unlisted presence of additional subject matter. Present is a bright and clean copy of Bowen's "Map of the British American Plantations.from Boston.to Georgia." 9 x 11 1/2 inches. This highly detailed map identifies the Plantations along the east coast and also English and French forts the topography of the region and established trails leading inland to the Mississippi. It is particularly noteworthy for the delineation of Indian tribes to the west of the Blue Ridge Mountains; indeed it is a preeminent map in this regard. Also present is M. De l'Isle's "A General Map of the Discoveries of Admiral De Fonte & Others" 8 x 10.75 inches depicting discoveries in the North Pacific with attention to the supposed Northwest Passage. The map has been described as "a spectacular example of imagination and fiction on the one hand and up-to-date cartography and information on the other" — this latter based on De l'Isle's access in St. Petersburg to secret maps of Russian discoveries as well as personal experiences on a voyage of Russian exploration source: Wendt Collection website. There are six or more engraved portraits of eminent men not called for in the volume's list of plates. These are: Hogarth's James Gibbs the noted architect; Hogarth's Martin Folkes President of the Royal Society; Captain Isaac Schomberg famed for his exploits in the American Revolutionary War; Alexander Cruden eccentric Biblical scholar; Richard Mead physician; and William Dampier explorer and natural historian of New Holland. Also present in the volume is an account of George Washington's "Journey from Williamsburg to the French Fort near the Lake Erri in Virginia." The object of Washington's travels was to dissuade Native Americans from all dealings with the French. A fascinating volume warranting the renewal of covers and spine. Contents in overall good condition with occasional soiling and offset. . D. Henry and R. Cave at St. John's Gate. hardcover

BRUN Giovanni (Roma 1745 - 1800)
Urbis Ichnographiam A Leonardo Bufalino
Urbis Ichnographiam A Leonardo Bufalino Ligneis formis Evulgatam Servata Proportione contractam Atq. Aeri incsam Jo. Bapta. Nolli. . Pianta geometrica con elevazione, pubblicata a Roma dalla tipografia di Carlo Losi nel 1785. Si tratta di una rielaborazione, senza alcun aggiornamento, dell'importante rilievo di Leonardo Bufalini (1551), riportato in voga da Giovan Battista Nolli nel 1748. La legenda di 307 rimandi in latino è ripesa proprio dalla riduzione di Nolli, e ne dimostra la diretta derivazione. T "La pianta di Roma di Leonardo Bufalini è la prima rappresentazione coerente della città e la più importante raffigurazione ortogonale fino alla pianta grande di Giambattista Nolli (1748). Bufalini si occupò di tutte le fasi della sua realizzazione, dal rilievo all’incisione, impiegando un lungo tempo: sette anni, secondo Onofrio Panvinio, venti secondo l’editore Antonio Trevisi. La Pianta di Roma fu stampata presso il tipografo Antonio Blado il 26 maggio 1551 a Roma, con privilegio decennale della Repubblica di Venezia e la dedica a Carlo V e a papa Giulio III. Si tratta di un’opera monumentale: una xilografia in dodici fogli e quattro strisce laterali. Nessun esemplare della prima edizione è noto; se ne conoscono solo tre della seconda edizione, pubblicata sempre a Roma, dall’editore Antonio Trevisi da Lecce, due conservati alla Biblioteca Vaticana (di cui uno incompleto) e un terzo alla British Library di Londra. Sebbene la pianta sia basata su rilievi effettuati dall’autore con grande perizia, non mancano elementi di fantasia: molti monumenti antichi sono stati aggiunti, completati e ricostruiti liberamente. Del resto, è lo stesso autore a sottolineare questa ambivalenza, dichiarando di voler presentare “la città che oggi è abitata…aggiungendo la [città] antica, un tempo sovrana del mondo…” Bufalini incluse nella pianta anche un autoritratto in cui è raffigurato con in mano il compasso a due punte, mentre a sinistra sono rappresentati i suoi strumenti di lavoro, fra cui la squadra e la bussola nautica. Per una più completa trattazione degli strumenti di misurazione utilizzati e per l’accuratezza della pianta bufaliniana si rimanda ai numerosi studi pubblicati. La fonte primaria utilizzata da Bufalini è la Roma antica di Bartolomeo Marliano, inserita nella sua Urbis Romae Topographia, che ha lo stesso orientamento e la stessa precisione nei particolari. Fin dalla sua pubblicazione nel 1551, la pianta del Bufalini esercitò una notevole influenza sulle successive piante della città fino al 1748, anno in cui Giambattista Nolli ne pubblicò una copia ridotta insieme alla sua pianta grande, che si impose quale nuovo modello" (cfr. B/R p. 2372). Nel margine inferiore, la sottoscrizione dell'editore C. Losi e, nell'angolo opposto, quella dell'incisore Giovanni Brun. In basso, a sinistra, il Pantheon e il Foro di Nerva; a destra, l'arco di Giano quadrifronte. Acquaforte e bulino, impressi su carta vergata coeva, applicata su tela, più volte ripiegata. Astuccio di custodia originale, in cartonato. In ottimo stato di conservazione. Geometric plan with elevation, published in Rome by Carlo Losi in 1785 and engraved by Giovanni Brun. It is a reworking, without any updating, of the important relief by Leonardo Bufalini (1551), brought back by Giovan Battista Nolli in 1748. The key-legend of 307 references in Latin is taken from Nolli's reduction, and demonstrates its direct derivation. Leonardo Bufalini's map of Rome is the first coherent representation of the city and the most important orthogonal representation up to the large plan by Giambattista Nolli (1748). Bufalini took care of all the phases of its realization, from relief to engraving, using a long time: seven years, according to Onofrio Panvinio, twenty according to the publisher Antonio Trevisi. The Map of Rome was printed at the typographer Antonio Blado on May 26, 1551 in Rome, with the ten-year privilege of the Republic of Venice and dedicates it to Charles V and Pope Julius III. It is a monumental work: a woodcut in twelve sheets and four lateral strips. Although the map is based on reliefs made by the author, there is no lack of elements of fantasy: many ancient monuments have been added, completed and rebuilt freely. The primary source used by Bufalini is Bartolomeo Marliano's ancient Rome, inserted in his Urbis Romae Topographia, which has the same orientation and the same precision in detail. Since its publication in 1551, Bufalini's map exerted a notable influence on the subsequent plans of the city until 1748, the year in which Giambattista Nolli published a reduced copy together with his large plan, which became the new model. Below, left, the Pantheon and the Forum of Nerva; right, the four-sided Arch of Janus. Etching and engraving, printed on contemporary laid paper, applied to cloth, folded several times. Original slipcase, in hardback. In excellent state of preservation. Hulsen, p. 40, d. Per la pianta del Bufalini: Bifolco/Ronca (2018), Cartografia e topografia italiana del XVI secolo, pp. 2372-73, tav. 1221.

BRUSTOLON Giambattista (Venezia 1716 – 1796)
Vue de la Basilique Vaticane & du Chateau S. Ange, jadis Mausolée d’Adrien
Acquaforte e bulino, firmata in lastra in basso a destra. Da un disegno del Canaletto, oggi conservato al British Museum [1858,0626.221].Magnifica prova, impressa su carta vergata coeva, con ampli margini, in perfetto stato di conservazione. Il Museo Correr possiede una raccolta di quindici fogli raffiguranti vedute di Roma incise da Brustolon su disegno del Canaletto; il frontespizio, manoscritto, reca l’iscrizione Vari Prospetti di Roma Antica e Moderna. Il catalogo della tipografia Remondini del 1817 elenca sempre 15 soggetti “romani”. Tuttavia secondo il Moschini le vedute di Roma del Brustolon sarebbero addirittura venticinque. Il nostro esemplare differisce nel titolo - in francese - rispetto a quello pubblicato nel catalogo della mostra "Roma Veduta" (Roma, 2000).Rarissima. View of the Tiber and Rome from the Basilica of St Valentino on the Via FlaminiaEtching and engraving, signed on lower right plate. After a drawing of Canaletto, today at the British Museum [1858,0626.221].Magnificent work, printed on contemporary laid paper with wide margins, in perfect condition. The Correr Museum owns a collection of fifteen sheets depicting views of Rome engraved by Brustolon after drawings of Canaletto; the front page, handwritten, bears the inscription Vari Prospetti di Roma Antica e Moderna. The 1817 catalogue of the typography of Remondini lists 15 “Roman” subjects; nonetheless, according to Meschini, Brustolon’s views of Rome are not less than twenty five. Very rare. Succi, Da Carlevarijs ai Tiepolo, p. 82; Maria Catelli Isola, in "I ponti di Roma" (1975): p. 76, n. 120; Roma Veduta (2000): pp. 181-182, n. 37 (variante).
