Mercator, Gerard.
Tab. VI. Asiae, Arabiam Felicem, Carmaniam ac Sinum Persicum comprehendens. Amsterdam, 1695.
Hand-coloured engraved map (485 x 340 mm). Striking old color example of the second edition of Mercator's Ptolemaic map of the Middle East, first issued in the 1695 edition of Mercator's Geographia, based upon the works of Claudius Ptolemy. Mercator's map was a landmark in the mapping of the Arabian Peninsula, being the last published edition of Ptolemy and without question the most heavily researched and studied of all editions by its maker. Ptolemy had originally drawn on the accounts of travelers and sailors and though the information was secondhand and often inaccurate it represented the most advanced account of the world's geography at that time. In the case of Arabia, Ptolemy overestimated both the width of the southern part of Arabia and the size and shape of the Persian Gulf. Arabia Petrea and Arabia Deserta are both placed in the north and Arabia Felix is the term applied to the whole peninsula, rather than to the southern portions of it. Ptolemy's map, as interpreted by European cartographers such as Mercator, was hugely influential and served as a standard for European mapping of the peninsula for many years. Tibbetts 39.

Mesopotamia Commission.
Report of the Commission Appointed by Act of Parliament to Enquire Into the Operations of War in Mesopotamia, Together with a Separate Report by Commander J. Wedgwood [...]. London, His Majesty's Stationery Office, 1917.
188 pp. With 2 (out of 3) lithographed plates ("annexures"), of which 1 folding table showing the movements of all army units from the landing in Suez "up to the present state". Original blue printed wrappers. Official report of the Mesopotamia Commission appointed in August 1916 to investigate the events connected with the Siege of Kut Al-Amara, the worst Allied defeat of the Great War. The Commission's remit was to enquire "into the origin, inception, and conduct of operations of war in Mesopotamia, including the supply of drafts, reinforcements, ammunition, and equipment of the troops and fleet, the provision for the sick and wounded, and the responsibility of those departments of Government whose duty it has been to minister to the wants of the forces employed in that theatre of war" (p. 3). In the spring of 1916, T. E. Lawrence had been dispatched to Mesopotamia to assist in relieving Kut by either starting an Arab uprising or negotiating a secret deal with Enver Pasha, offering £2 million for the free retreat of the troops; the mission produced no useful result, and General Townshend surrendered on 29 April after a siege of 147 days. Some 13,000 Allied soldiers survived to be made prisoners. - Contents include: Origin of Mesopotamia expedition; Advance from Basra to Kurna; The advance from Amara and Kut; Correspondence and telegrams as to advance on Baghdad; The advance from Kut to Ctesiphon; Operations for relief of Kut; Armament, equipment, reinforcements; Transport; Medical breakdown; Causes contributing to the errors of judgment and shortcomings of responsible authorities; Findings and conclusions; Separate report by Commander J. Wedgwood; Vincent-Bingley report; Memorandum by Sir Beauchamp Duff; Colonel Hekir's account of the siege of Kut-el-Amara. - Waterstained throughout; edges and corners severely wrinkled, bumped and frayed; traces of dod-earing. Binding soiled; spine chipped. OCLC 3303415. Cd. 8610.

Messmer, Joseph Anton.
Das Heilige Land und die heiligen Stätten. Ein Pilgerbuch in ausgewählten Bildern mit erläuterndem Text [...]. Munich, Vogel'sche Verlagshandlung, 1860.
4to. IX, (1), 356 pp. With steel-engraved title-page, 79 engraved plates (of which 24 are coloured steel-engravings, 54 tinted woodcuts, and one a tinted lithograph), and one steel-engraved folding map of Palestine in original hand colour. Contemporary giltstamped and blindstamped full cloth with title to cover and spine. All edges gilt. First edition. - Lavishly illustrated work on the Holy Land by the professor of archaeology and later conservator at the Bavarian National Museum, Messmer (1829-79), featuring the same illustrations as Friedrich Adolph Strauss in his 1861 work "Die Länder und Stätten der heiligen Schrift". However, Messmer's work greatly differs in the text, which is "preferable [to that of Strauss] as it discusses the element of architecture much more thoroughly" (cf. Tobler). It is sometimes inaccurately described as an extract or abbridgement of another publication by Strauss, entitled "Sinai und Golgatha", first published in 1847. The steel-engraved illustrations include views of Jaffa, Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Nazareth, and Damascus, the interior and exterior of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, views of Mount Olivet, the Temple Mount, the Jericho desert, and Mount Sinai, as well as archaeological sites like Abu Simbel, and a violent scene showing the assassination of a Maronite priest and the kidnapping of women by Druzes and Bedouins. The woodcut plates include views of Beirut, Gaza, Hebron, Jericho and Sidon. - Hinges somewhat chafed. Several pages show traces of one or two horizontal folds starting from right margin (most prominent in pp. 151-175); occasional light brownstaining; small flaw to lower corner of p. 221f., no loss to text. Otherwise very well preserved. Tobler 171f. (note). Röhricht 2093 (note). OCLC 174874595.

Mesue the Younger (Masawaih Al-Mardini).
Opus quibuslibet aromatariis: necessariu[m]. Mesue in vulgare rescripto. Primo che se rechercha allarte della aromataria como se conosseno le medicine simplice & composte li quattro canone p[er] arte in vulgare declarate alla antidotario: li dubie al configere qlle resolute. [Naples or Venice, ca 1500?].
4to (145 x 198 mm). (34) ff. Half calf over marbled overs (ca. 1900) with gold-tooled red label to gilt spine. All edges sprinkled red. Almost unobtainably rare first edition of this digest of medical prescriptions, taken from the works of the highly-regarded Arabic physician Mesue the Younger (also known as Masawaih al-Mardini), including "a kind of general manual for apothecaries and perfumers" (Duveen). All recipes are in Italian, while the main title and the headings are in Latin. Bibliographers are not agreed on the book's place or date of publication: GW locates it merely in Italy, ca. 1495, whereas Copinger believes it was printed in Venice, by an unidentified printer, in or around 1500. The British Museum Short-Title Catalogue suggests Sigismund Mayr in Naples as the printer and 1510 as possible year of publication, while the British Library's catalogue now appears to prefer Venice and 1505 as tentative place and year. Klebs notes that the collection constitutes a "rifacimento" of the Italian edition of Mesue's "Opera medicinalia", published in Venice on 12 December 1493. - Contemporary ink ownership to title-page. A restored tear in the final leaf (not affecting the text), some brown specks on the title-page and an insignificant waterstain along the lower edge of the final gathering, but altogether in excellent condition. Rebound in a pretty half-calf binding around the turn of the century. Only two copies in libraries internationally (British Library and Univ. of Wisconsin, formerly the Duveen copy). That in the British Library is incomplete, lacking the final leaf (falsely described by Copinger as having a final blank leaf, which is in fact the endpaper). Copinger 4011. GW M23031. Klebs 228 (note). Proctor 7427. ISTC im00521400. USTC 842290. BM-STC Italian 739. Duveen 651. Edit 16, CNCE 50479.

Metellus, Johannes.
Asia tabulis aeneis secundum rationes geographicas delineata. Oberursel, Sutor, 1600.
4to. 12 double-page maps with accompanying Latin text, head- and tailpieces. Contemporary decorated calf gilt. Johannes Matalius Metellus (ca. 1517-97) was a French jurist who spent his early life travelling in Italy. Later Metellus moved to Louvain. Around 1579, he became involved in Cologne's cartographic publishing industry, when he is thought to have contributed to the "Itinerarium Orbis Christiani". He also contributed a description of Lyon to Braun & Hogenberg's "Civitates Orbis Terrarum". There is a very attractive map of Arabia. "His map of Japan is the earliest known copy of Teixeira's map, which had appeared in Ortelius" (Walter 20). Metellus was a friend of Matthias Quad, whose name is sometimes associated with the posthumous completion of the Metellus atlas of the Americas (it was published in 1598; Metellus is thought to have died in 1597). The cartographer was also in correspondence with Abraham Ortelius. At one point he gave Ortelius assistance collating Ptolemy's Cosmography with manuscripts in the Vatican. This was evidently needed for the completion of Ortelius's "Parergon Theatri". - Minor foxing generally not affecting maps, minor worming. Al-Qasimi 36. Tibbetts 59. H. P. Kraus, Monumenta Cartographica, items 45 & 52.

Metoscita, Pietro, SJ.
Institutiones linguae Arabicae. Ex diversis Arabum monumentis collectae, & ad quammaximam fieri potuit brevitatem, atque oridinem revocatae. Rome, Stefano Paulini, 1624.
8vo. (16), 256 pp. Contemporary limp vellum. Traces of ties. Rare, early introduction to and grammar of the Arabic language: a compilation based on Arab sources by the Syrian Jesuit Metoscita. "The work again contains laudatory poems in four languages by Donatus. It is dedicated by the publisher Paulinus to Cardinal Francesco Barberini, who as Curator of the Sacra Congregatio had ordered its publication. Paulinus had already recently published two other Arabic grammars in Rome, a large one by Martelotti (1620) and a small one by Scialac (1622). The author, Petrus Al-Matusi, was one of the first pupils of the Maronite College in Rome [...] On p. 227 of the grammar we find one of the first examples of a classical Arabic poem quoted and translated [...] The work is excellently printed with the 16pt Arabic types of Savary de Brèves. At the end a grammatical analysis of Psalm 34 is given following the example of Bellarmino's Hebrew grammar" (Smitskamp). "After the demise of the Medici Oriental Press, Arabic printing in Rome was revived by the French scholar-diplomat François Savary de Brèves, who commissioned the design and production of an Arabic fount of an outstanding elegance and beauty. Much has been written on this type-face, which was evidently based directly on Arab or Turkish specimens of calligraphy acquired by Savary while serving in the Ottoman Empire: the punch-cutting, however, was probably executed in Rome [...] This celebrated type-face, which later passed to the Imprimerie Royale, was the mainstay of Arabic typography in France until the late 19th century [...] It likewise influenced the Arabic founts of the Press of the Sacra Congregatio de Propaganda Fide, which had a monopoly of Arabic printing in Rome from 1622 onwards, and at first employed Paulin, the former associate of both Raimondi and Savary de Brèves" (Roper, p. 144-146). - Slight browning and brownstaining throughout due to paper; 18th or early 19th century marginalia and notes on flyleaves; ownership "J. Venturi" to title page. Fück 77. Schnurrer 59. Smitskamp, PO 190. De Backer/Sommervogel V, 1028. Bibliothèque de Silvestre de Sacy II, 2772 (lacking 1 leaf). Not in Vater/Jülg. Cf. G.

Philologemata medica, sive ad medicinam et res medicas pertinentia, ex Ebraea et huic adfinibus orientalibus linguis decerpta [...]. Halle, Johann Friedrich Grunert, 1758.
4to. (8), 54, (2) pp. All edges red. Modern blue boards. Only edition of this dissertation on oriental medical terminology. "The author is the theologian Michaelis [the father of Johann David Michaelis], who attempts to elucidate Hebrew terms by comparison with the Syriac, Arabic, and Ethiopian languages. He also discusses the medical knowledge of the oriental peoples, as well as Ecclesiastes 12:3-6" (cf. Choulant). - Trimmed a little closely at the lower edge with slight loss to printer's name, otherwise very well preserved. Choulant 102. Meusel IX, 137f. Fürst II, 374.

Michaelis, Johann David.
Arabische Grammatik, nebst einer Arabischen Chrestomathie und Abhandlung vom Arabischen Geschmack, sonderlich in der poetischen und historischen Schreibart. Zweite, umgearbeitete und vermehrte Ausgabe. Göttingen, (Johann Christian Dieterich for) Victorius Boßiegel, 1781.
8vo. (2), 8, (III)-CXII, 136 (Arabic), 256 pp. Contemporary marbled limp boards with ms. title to spine. The final edition of the venerable Arabic grammar first published by Erpenius in 1613, the work that dominated Western instruction in the Arabic language for two centuries. After re-issues (with various amendments) by Deusing (1636), Golius (1656), and Schultens (1748 and 1767), the Göttingen Biblical scholar Michaelis produced a German translation in 1771. "In the long preface [...] Erpenius's grammar is characterised as still the best one in existence for Hebrew and Arabic, and as regards any Oriental language second only to the author's father's Syriac grammar" (Smitskamp, p. 278). This second edition, published a decade later, omits the name of Erpenius: "owing to the many additions (for the greater part unneccessary according to Schnurrer) the work may now be called Michaelis' own" (Smitskamp). It was not until 1810 that Silvestre de Sacy's "Grammaire Arabe" would produce an actual advance in the field. - Binding rubbed; occasional brownstaining to interior; several old ownerships and acquisition notes to insides of covers. A good, untrimmed copy. Schnurrer p. 83f., no. 120. Smitskamp, PO 283. Fück p. 65 & cf. 119f.

Arabische Grammatik, nebst einer Arabischen Chrestomathie und Abhandlung vom Arabischen Geschmack, sonderlich in der poetischen und historischen Schreibart. Zweite, umgearbeitete und vermehrte Ausgabe. Göttingen, (Johann Christian Dieterich for) Victorius Boßiegel, 1781.
8vo. 2 parts in one volume. CXII, 256, (2), 136 (Arabic) pp. (2nd part interleaved). Contemporary papered boards with giltstamped spine label (chipped). All edges red. A Göttingen student's hand-annotated copy: the final edition of the venerable Arabic grammar first published by Erpenius in 1613, the work that dominated Western instruction in the Arabic language for two centuries. This copy was owned by the poet and pastor Hermann Bredenkamp (1760-1808), a native of Bremen, who had taken up his studies of theology and oriental languages at Göttingen in 1780. Among his teachers was not only Michaelis himself, but also the great Swedish orientalist Matthias Norberg (1747-1826), who in 1781 passed through Göttingen on his return journey from Constantinople, visiting Michaelis. Bredenkamp's annotations in the book's margins frequently refer to Norberg's personal comments on the grammatical matter and especially on the pronunciation of modern vernacular Arabic of Morocco. On the interleaves of the Arabic chrestomathy, Bredenkamp has occasionally noted vocabulary and word references, but this part does not appear to have been worked through in detail, and it is the grammar in which the most extensive annotations occur, all written in ink in Bredenkamp's meticulous and minute hand. - By the 18th century, Erpenius's grammar had seen several re-issues (with various amendments) by Deusing (1636), Golius (1656), and Schultens (1748 and 1767), before the Biblical scholar Michaelis produced a German translation in 1771. The present second edition, published a decade later, entirely omits the name of Erpenius: "owing to the many additions (for the greater part unneccessary according to Schnurrer) the work may now be called Michaelis' own" (Smitskamp, p. 278). This, of course, was the grammar of choice at the University of Göttingen under Michaelis' tutelage. It was not until 1810 that Silvestre de Sacy's "Grammaire Arabe" would produce an actual advance in the field. - Binding rubbed, extremeties severely bumped. Bredenkamp's handwritten ownership (dated 1781) to front flyleaf; title-page has early 19th century stamped ownership of G. J. Lorent. Schnurrer p. 83f., no. 120. Smitskamp, PO 283. Fück p. 65 & cf. 119f. For Norberg's stay in Göttingen cf. Chatzipanagioti-Sangmeister, p. 80.

Rostock, Nikolaus Schwiegerau, 1722. (8), 248, (16) pp. 19th century half calf over marbled boards with giltstamped spine and spine-label. First edition of the Hebrew grammar prepared by the most celebrated orientalist of his day. The Göttingen scholar Johann David Michaelis (1717-1791) was the leading expert on Hebrew philology and Biblical exegesis. The present work advocates a new approach to emancipating Hebrew philology from the Greek and Roman tradition of linguistics, discussing verbs before nouns, as opposed to traditional Latin grammars. Fürst dates the first edition to 1744, in apparent error for 1745. - II: First edition of this grammar of biblical Hebrew by the German Lutheran theologians J. J. Weidner (1672-1732) and H. Tarnow (1674-1741). - Extremities slightly rubbed; tiny portion of upper hinge chipped away. Paper evenly browned troughout; occasional light spotting. ADB XXI, 685-690. OCLC 258323863. Cf.

MIDDLE EAST.
Four issues of the antifascist newspaper "On Guard".
London: The Fortythree Publishing Co. Ltd Citadel Press Ltd 1947-48. First editions each stamped and dated by the Library of the Jewish American Committee. Number 9 April leads with a story about the bombing of Ben Yehuda Street in Jerusalem and the connection between British fascists and the Arab Legion. It also features an illustration of the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem meeting with Hitler in 1941. On 22 February 1948 three trucks and an armoured car exploded on Ben Yehuda Street killing up to 58 civilians and injuring up to 200 more. The attack was performed by Arab militants and British deserters although Abd al-Qadir claimed responsibility later that day in a leaflet. According to the article in this collection two months later further letters were mailed to MPs in the UK claiming that the attack was orchestrated by a Palestinian branch of the fascist British League at that time a part of Oswald Mosley's Union Movement. The article questions the veracity of the letters but nonetheless condemns the actions of British deserters in Palestine and the Arab Legion's acceptance of former Nazis. Other articles in this collection focus on exposing Mosley's work as well as reporting on antifascist activities South Africa's movement towards apartheid and local legislation. On Guard was published by the Jewish anti-fascist "43 Group". The paper "assumed a moderate non-sectarian identity which was both educative and campaigning. The function of On Guard was to raise anti-fascist conciousness and unite all sections of the public against the menace of fascism" Copsey p. 92 4 broadsheet newspapers bifolium leaf size 430 x 570 mm black letterpress on all pages half-tone photographic illustrations throughout. Red postage stamp to no. 13 p. 4. Closed tears mostly along fold lines as expected edges toned and creased some dust-soiling: a very good collection.

MIDDLE EAST - US ARMY.
MCI 02.01 Intelligence Brief: Southwest Asia.
Washington DC & Arlington Virginia: Specialized Skill Training Department Marine Corps Institute 1998 & 1991. Preparing the USMC for desert warfare A scarce set of training and examination manuals with exercise questions completed by an unknown marine. They are a basic introduction designed to familiarize the corps with desert warfare terrain and the cultures and histories of the Middle East. We have traced no records of a two-volume set. The US army had little experience of desert warfare prior to the Gulf War 1990-91. "For many years US doctrine failed to address desert warfare. During World War II US forces suffered heavy losses in the opening phase of the North Africa Campaign 1942-43. Stung by these defeats American forces learned quickly and fared somewhat better later. After the war American military doctrine focused on the defense of Europe and desert warfare was again ignored" Chambers p. 212. Brief is a 10-lesson course "designed to familiarize the student with the terrain weather climate physical environment armed forces and the geopolitical and sociopolitical influences which apply to military operations in the area" p. i. It covers four units: "Introduction" "Military and Paramilitary Forces" "Terrorism" and "Culture Economics and History". Each unit is illustrated and includes a set of exercise questions which in this copy have been filled in. Readings was to be consulted alongside the Culture Economics and History unit of Brief. The 27 articles are mostly by Westerners such as John Bulloch Bruce Kuniholm Edward Mortimer William Polk and Maxime Rodinson. The Lebanese academic Fouad Ajami is an exception as is Palestine-US historian Rosemarie Said Zanian Edward Said's sister. The articles explain Saddam's actions in Iraq the history of Islam the Iranian Revolution Saudi Arabia's oil industry US policy in Palestine and many other crucial areas. Readings is the 1991 first edition of which only six copies are listed on WorldCat in American military institutions. Brief is the 1998 reissue listed with no known locations. 2 vols octavo. Illustrations maps and tables throughout. Original red paper wrappers. Brief: front wrapper lettered in black stapled without rear wrapper; Readings: spine and front wrapper lettered in black. Exercise questions in Brief sometime completed in pen answer key to Unit II exercises excised and loosely inserted answer key to Unit IV exercises missing. Wrappers creased and a little scratched light abrasions to wrapper edges of Readings old adhesive remains to p. 1 of Readings contents bright: a very good set.

MIDDLE EAST; WORLD WAR I.
Memorial album of letters and photographs recording the service of 2nd Lieutenant John Graham Wilkinson 1st/4th Battalion the Hampshire Regiment.
India Mesopotamia and Persia: December 1914 - July 1918. I have come to the conclusion that the war out here is much more pukka campaigning than in France An unpublished and otherwise untraced record of the First World War as experienced by an officer serving in India and Mesopotamia and with Dunsterforce in Persia. The album reproduces his animated letters home and over 150 photographs taken while on duty the last letter written just a few days before he was killed in action at Resht. Most of the letters are addressed to Wilkinson's mother Ada Eliza Wilkinson née Machin and the album opens with his formal photographic portrait signed by his mother on the verso of the mount. The first letter dated 22 December 1914 is written onboard an Anchor Line steamer heading to India. His first stop is Port Said "simply crowded with hawkers" - 23 December 1914 where he buys stamps for his brother Miles and the ship passes through the Suez Canal on Christmas Day only one month before Axis attacks on the canal began in earnest. On 11 January he reaches Quetta where he lives in relative comfort and dines with the likes of Lieutenant-General Malcolm Grover G.O.C. 4th Quetta Division. Like many in the war's early stageshe yearns to see some front-line action "We seem awfully out of it here as regards the European war" - undated but early 1915 and must content himself with a month-long officer training course in Karachi. In 1915 the war remained sluggish. He busies himself with training and riding lessons. "I believe quite a lot of Quetta inhabitants were interned at the beginning of the war. There are two suspects left. including Steinle the banker who is certainly a German and openly rejoices whenever the enemy gains a success but the police daren't intern him because of the ladies of Quetta who would not be able to get any cakes if he were taken away" 31 May 1915. In June they spend time at Chasma Tangi one of the main training camps along the north-west frontier and in September he serves as a brigade transport officer at a camp in Gulistan. After a year the magic has worn off. "I wish this awful war would end. I am absolutely sick of the army. Everything will be so different to what it was before the war" 22 September 1915. In October a portion of the battalion is drafted to the Gulf but Wilkinson is not chosen on account of recent sickness much to his disappointment. He has leave at Christmas and uses the opportunity to travel sending many pictures taken with his new camera. January 1916 brings both news of the sinking of SS Persia the fatalities including several family members of officers in Quetta and ongoing uncertainty over the course of the war. "I wonder if the war really will end this year. One argument that we will is that for over a year Germany has been trying to win and over a year we have been trying to lose and neither have succeeded therefore we are bound to win" 20 January 1916. Reports trickle in of friends and comrades killed in action in the Gulf heightening the prospect that more of the Hampshires might be sent west. In August 1916 his opportunity finally comes when headquarters asks for volunteer officers to travel to the Middle East to join territorial units. He leaves by train in September a local general seeing off his party with drinks on the station platform and they arrive in Basra in early October. "Basra is a very interesting place. The mess here is simply packed with officers awaiting orders" 3 October 1916. In November he is assigned to guarding the railway between Sinn and Iman enclosing with his letters pictures of his blockhouse and a sniping picket and over Christmas he endures a number of difficult marches through desert terrain to destroy forts and reposition. "I have come to the conclusion that the war out here is much more pukka campaigning than in France. Here there is a certain amount of movement and it is not a question of living in a trench all day. But if we want a fight we have a good march for it" 12 January 1917. Skirmishes with Turkish forces are common and the British have the upper hand with their artillery: "At 9.30 am on Friday 26th again our artillery started hurling stuff at the Turks and I can tell you I did not envy the poor old Turko the fire was extraordinarily intense and as we found out later extremely effective" 31 January 1917. In February 1917 he is shot by a sniper and hospitalized in Amara Beit Nama and briefly Bombay. India offers a chance for rest and recuperation but by July 1917 he is back in the Middle Eastern theatre. "The rationing here is very good indeed. There is an issue of soda water and every man is allowed two bottles every day. There are also ice factories all over this country" 23 July 1917. Their Rolls Royce armoured cars give them the upper hand in the field while also proving useful for beating game for shooting. In December 1917 he is sent with a detachment from the Hampshires to Persia as part of Dunsterforce and he reports back home as much as he can of the declining state of the Ottoman ranks. Having lost one of his oldest comrades in late June he is killed in action at Resht on 20 July and is buried with military honours in the garden of the Russian consulate. The volume ends with the text of many messages of condolence sent by Wilkinson's senior officers regimental friends and those who knew him back home. The account is illustrated by snapshots of Bombay Quetta and Delhi as well as training daily life and Wilkinson's holidays spent sightseeing in India. In the Middle East his photos record time spent in Basra Amara and Beit Nama. He sends photographs of irrigation wells near Baghdad Basra's thriving coffee scene and a Bristol Scout near Qasr-e Shirin. Several pictures show Wilkinson himself including one taken alongside Brigadier-General Bateman-Champain and another of him in idle mood near brigade headquarters. The later photographs record troop movements. Loosely inserted are three autograph letters from Wilkinson written during the war two to his mother and one to an aunt a postcard and a copy of the British Legion's Service of Remembrance and Dedication 1949. We have traced no other typescript copies of these letters or the manuscript originals. The family also produced a memorial volume for one of Wilkinson's two brothers Geoffrey Miles Wilkinson who was killed in action in late 1917 our stock code 144576. Quarto 255 x 205 mm. Occasional contemporary manuscript annotations. Together 258 typescript sheets each with text one side only 153 mounted photographs with typescript captions mostly gelatin silver snapshots photographic portrait mounted on card. Bound in contemporary black leatherette front cover monogrammed "J.G.W." Binding with some wear typescript sheets toned some photos oxidized as expected foxing and adhesive marks to opening portrait: a very good example. hardcover

1700. Paris c. 1700. Original copper engraved maps. 15.5 cm wide x 13 cm high. Mounted on paper. Very good condition. From a wonderful collection of Maps from an old english library South Shields - with a tiny library stamp to the mounting paper The stamp is NOT on the Map. Nicolas de Fer 1646–25 October 1720 was a French cartographer and geographer. De Fer was the youngest of three sons of Antoine de Fer who was also a cartographer. When he was 12 he became the apprentice of Parisian engraver Louis Spirinx and made his first map of the Canal du Midi at the age of 23. After the death of his father in June 1673 his mother Geneviève initially took over the map making company which had begun to decline. She passed it and the atelier called Quai de L'Horloge on to Nicolas in 1687 because of her old age. De Fer was so successful at improving the firm that in 1690 he became the official geographer to Louis Dauphin of France. With support from the Spanish and French Royal Families de Fer also became official geographer for Philip V and Louis XIV the kings of Spain and France respectively. Because of this his maps became Bourbon propaganda endorsing French King Louis XIV. His business flourished producing town plans atlases wall maps and more than 600 sheet maps. He made maps of places in Europe and North America including New Spain places fortified by Vauban the Low Countries and the War of the Spanish Succession. In 1698 de Fer published a map of North America which included a depiction of beavers building dams near Niagara Falls. Seventeen years later Herman Moll published a map which plagiarized elements of de Fer's work particularly the beaver scene. It became known as the "Beaver map". De Fer became the official geographer for His Catholic Majesty in 1720. Two of his sons-in-law Guillaume Danet and Jaques-François Bénard continued the company after de Fer's death on 25 October of that year until around 1760. Wikipedia unknown
