[CIVIL WAR] [MAPS] SCHEDLER, J.
The Seat of War: Birds Eye View of Virginia Maryland Delaware and the District of Columbia
New York: W. Schaus; printed by Sarony Major & Knapp 1861. Second Edition. 59 x 76cm open. 19.5x19cm closed. Tinted lithographic map backed in brown silk in black slipcase with printed paper label. Bookseller's ticket of Rev. A. O. Brickman Baltimore. Two ownership inscriptions of "J. M. Deems Maj. 1st MD Cav" and inscribed "Deems" on the slipcase. Trimmed; splits along half of one horizontal fold; minor stains and discoloration to verso not affecting image which is bright and generally Very Good. Hand-made slipcase worn with portion cut out but with manuscript ownership label intact. <br /> <br /> Uncommon Civil War map used by a distinguished Union Army officer. James Monroe Deems 1818-1901 was a composer and music educator from Baltimore who secured a commission as a major in 1861. He was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel in spring 1863; led the First Maryland Cavalry during the Battle of Gettysburg; retired due to rheumatism in November 1863; and was brevetted Brigadier General in 1867. He likely acquired this map in Baltimore near the beginning of his military career and certainly before his promotion in 1863 given the use of "Maj." in his ownership inscriptions. <br /> <br /> The map itself is the second edition of this design by J. Schedler despite the title it is not a bird's-eye view. The more common first edition has two insets showing the Lower Mississippi Valley and the city of Richmond see Stephenson 17.3. This version has only one inset showing the eastern United States. Stephenson describes this edition as having a Washington DC bookseller's ticket; the present copy has a Baltimore bookseller's ticket instead. <br /> <br /> This copy was mounted for use in the field: it was trimmed down to the neatline the captions removed the image cut up into segments and mounted on linen. The printed label on the slipcase appears to be a portion of the original title. This may have been done by the bookseller Brickman possibly at Deems' request. <br /> <br /> Uncommon. OCLC records about 10 similarly titled maps but few listings distinguish between the first and second editions. STEPHENSON LC Civil War Maps 2nd ed 17.35. 61812. [W.

Rebound with new end sheets: brown leather spine marbled paper over boards red morocco spine label gilt titles and rules. Binding tight pages clean and unmarked. 1664 Hard Cover. viii 230 pp. Last text page misnumbered 216. Descartes's fundamental and originating work of the modern era in Western philosophy bound together with a work by one of the Utrecht Cartesians Lambert van Velthuysen. This is the first British printing of the Meditations though it does not include Descartes's 'Objections and Replies' as many editions do. Velthuysen was connected by marriage to Descartes's friend Henry Regnier and corresponded with scientists and philosophers such as von Leeuenhoek Spinoza and Leibniz. The work included here shows the influence of Thomas Hobbes - unsurprising given that Velthuysen is credited with translating Leviathan into Dutch. John Locke may have met Velthuysen while in Utrecht in 1684/85 and had eight titles by Velthuysen in his personal library including the Rheims edition of the present title. Bound into this volume are two plates not called for in either work which may be taken from the Hart printing of Principia Philosophia which was published the same year. Wolf 736 Wing D1133a.

[DRAWING - TROMPE-L'OEIL - MAPS].
Trompe-l'oeil drawing of country maps on a decorated background titled: Ciels Saint-Vincent.France August 1888. Brown and black ink watercolour chalk and gold paint on paper mounted on several laminated sheets of paper 69.5 x 52.5 cm.
Charming trompe-l'oeil of maps of European countries on a decorated background somewhat reminiscent of a church ceiling. It contains a French inscription "to my beloved parents" which together with some inconsistencies in the use of perspective suggest a young French artist. The maps show some interesting departures from reality: in the Netherlands parts of the province of Gelderland are shifted 50 kilometres to the north replacing Zwolle with Arnhem and Sweden lacks Stockholm but includes Copenhagen in place of Malmö. However the most humorous is in the map of Germany which lacks its western neighbours - the Netherlands Belgium Luxemburg and France - giving it an extensive North Sea coast. The gothic lettering is inconsistent in style with the artist apparently improvising an alphabet for each inscription in the process forgetting Denmark.Somewhat soiled and browned at the edges with several white spots due to overpainting; the sheets are coming loose from one another. unknown

[Eastern European Immigration]. [Maps]
Lemkovina: Map of Lemkovina or West Carpatho-Russia
Philadelphia: Lemko Press 1929. Very good. Lithographed folding map approximately 32 x 40 inches printed in pink and black. Housed in original red wrappers printed in black. Modest wear along folds a couple of small separations at crossfolds light marginal toning. Wrappers with minor spine and edge wear. An extremely rare map of "Lemkovina" the homeland of the Lemko an Eastern Slavic people from the Central Carpathian Mountains where Poland Slovakia and Ukraine meet in the present day. From the late-19th century to the 1920s tens of thousands of Lemkos immigrated to the Unites States and Canada -- fleeing war oppression and seeking better economic opportunities. Once in the United States Lemko intellectuals founded institutions to preserve and promote Lemko culture in the New World and to lobby for sovereignty of the Lemko homeland. The present large-format map is an intriguing artifact of the Lemko-American immigrant experience. The map was drafted by the Lemko-American activist Dmitriy Vislocky and published by the Lemko Press in Philadelphia in 1929; it showcases the areas where the Lemko population prevailed as well as areas of mixed Lemko-Slovakian and Lemko-Polish demographics; while it does not explicitly define Lemkovina as a sovereign state its rhetorical direction is nevertheless clear.<br /> <br /> The Lemko are an Eastern Slavic people who originate from a large area along both slopes of the Central Carpathian Mountains in a region traditionally often referred to as "West Carpatho-Russia" located along the eastern stretch of today's border of Poland and Slovakia and extending slightly east into Ukraine. The Lemko language is akin to Ukrainian and is written in Cyrillic. Traditionally many consider the Lemkos to be a subgroup of Russians or Ukrainians although many Lemkos have tended to self-identify as a distinct ethnicity. The Lemkos have vibrant and sophisticated cultural traditions with distinct music folklore clothing and customs. Most Lemkos are Eastern rite or Byzantine-rite Catholics although some have converted to the Eastern Orthodox faith. The period leading up to during and after World War I was traumatic for the Lemkos. The group splintered their loyalties with some supporting the Russians both Red and White factions while others were sympathetic to Ukrainian nationalism and some either voluntarily or under coercion were allied with Austria-Hungary. Lemkos caught on the wrong side of events often met with cruel fates. In the aftermath of the war Lemkos who supported the Red Russians formed the "Lemko-Rusyn People's Republic" which existed from December 1918 to March 1920 a state that took in part of the northern slope of the Central Carpathians of Lemkovina. Meanwhile further to the east was the pro-Ukrainian "Eastern Lemko Republic" November 1918 to January 24 1919. However these republics were soon extinguished with all Lemkovina being divided between Czechoslovakia and Poland. The Lemkos in Poland would have a very difficult time as the Polish state considered them disloyal. Eventually they were forcibly displaced from their homeland. <br /> <br /> Lemkos began to immigrate to the United States and Canada in the late 19th century in good part due to economic opportunities. The greatest center of activity for Lemko peoples in North America was in Pennsylvania although large communities could be found across the American Northeast and Midwest as well as in places such as Toronto Canada. Many Lemkos found decent jobs initially in the burgeoning manufacturing industry. Smaller but still significant Lemko communities developed as far away as Colorado and Alberta where they were engaged in the ranching and mining industries. Today hundreds of thousands of North Americans count Lemko ancestry. Lemkos adjusted very well to life across the Atlantic and generally met with success. The most famous of all Lemko-Americans was the artist Andy Warhol 1928-1987 who was born in Pittsburgh the son of Lemko immigrant parents. In the 1920s Lemko intellectuals in America largely based in Pennsylvania formed a movement to preserve Lemko culture while lobbying for the eventual resurrection of an autonomous if not sovereign Lemko homeland – Lemkovina. However there was a great deal of internecine dispute over the nature of this proposed state as some favored a pro-Ukraine sovereign entity while others wanted it to be Soviet satellite yet the dream of a future sovereign Lemko nation of any sort was never to be realized as powers ranging from the Czechoslovak and Polish governments to Hitler and Stalin would never allow it. Lemko culture flourished in the U.S. and Canada centered around Lemko halls and churches and beginning in the 1920s a handful of small printing presses were established to serve and educate the community issuing Lemko-language almanacs primers newspapers and pamphlets. One of the most important of these houses was the Lemko Press of Philadelphia which under the leadership of Dmitriy Vislocky published the Lemko Gazette. The circle of the Lemko Press had a pronounced Ukrainophone allegiance and was at odds with some other Lemko-North American groups.<br /> <br /> As a major part of their campaign to define "Lemkovina" and call for its eventual nationhood presumably as a pro-Ukrainian sovereign state in opposition to both the Soviets and Poland Dmitriy Vislocky and the Lemko Press produced the present map. As best as we are aware it is the only large format map of the period to specifically show Lemkovina as a distinct entity and being published in Philadelphia it stands as a remarkable feat of Lemko-American immigrant cartography. The large format map executed to the ample scale of 1:200000 with text in Cyrillic and lithographed from a hand-drawn template shows the Polish-Slovakian frontier region which today extends east into Ukraine along the Central Carpathian Mountains an area traditionally sometimes known as "West Carpatho-Russia." A very rugged and rural area it is roughly framed by the the Dunajec River in the west and the San and Uzh Rivers in the east and with the cities of Nowy S cz Poland to the northwest and Košice Slovakia to the southeast. The map delineates all major rivers roads and railways and locates cities towns and villages. The legend below the title explains the color-coding employed to define demographic areas. Territory shaded in bold pink are of majority ‘Russian’ meaning Lemko and Rusyn population i.e. core Lemkovina while the areas covered by southwest-northeast hashed lines are of mixed Lemko/Rusyn-Slovakian population and the areas with northwest-southeast hashed lines are of mixed Lemko/Rusyn-Polish population. Beyond are labeled the lands of Poland to the north Slovakia to the south Eastern Galicia to the northeast and Sub-Karpatsky Russia Ukraine to the southwest while the map defines the Polish-Czechoslovak border as it was then internationally recognized. While the map does not explicitly state that Lemkovina is a country Dmitriy Vislocky’s sovereignist direction of travel is nevertheless clear.<br /> <br /> The present map is extremely rare. It was likely issued in only a small print run and the survival rate of such fragile ephemeral American immigrant publications is very low. We can trace only a single institutional example of the map held by the David Rumsey Map Collection at Stanford University. Beyond that we are aware of only a single other example as having appeared on the market in the last twenty-five years.<br /> David Rumsey Map Collection Stanford University: 11153.000.

[EIGHT MANUSCRIPT PROVINCAL COLOR GOUACHE MAPS OF KOREA]
P'ALTO CHIDO OR EIGHT PROVINCES KOREA MAPS. KOREAN PROVINCAL MANUSCRIPT MAPS
Korea late 18th-early 19th century 1780-1810. Eight color gouache pastel tinted maps ca. 57.5 x 90.1 cm.contemporary re-backing very solid clean examples complete set of all provinces hand-painted gouache manuscripts. RARE & OBSCURE . . . . A RARE & COMPLETE SET OF ANTIQUARIAN MANUSCRIPT KOREAN . . . YI PERIOD PROVINCIAL MAPS . . "PALTO CHIDO" OR "EIGHT PROVINCES MAPS" . . . DELUXE ELEPHANT FOLIO SIZE SHEETS . . . HAND-COLORED GOUACHE PASTELS . This is a very RARE & COMPLETE set of eight Korean provincial manuscript maps. Drawn circa 1780-1810 by an unsigned Korean cartographer. These maps are of historical importance giving place names isolating the time frame. . Painted on very thin finely hand-made mulberry-fiber tissue paper contemporary re-backed with a stiff hand-made paper. Beautifully hand-painted & colored in gouache pastels. . The record shows several reliable verities of manuscript maps showing the eight ancient Korean provinces. . Commonly these maps had no title cartographer's name date or other critical bibliographic colophon data. This is a common theme with Korean manuscript maps. . Political divisions of Korea are by and large mostly stable making name comparisons easier. . PROBABLE MAP TITLES INCLUDE: . a. The "SINJUNG-TONGGUK-YOJI-SUNGNAM:" "EIGHT SEPARATE MAPS EACH SHOWING ONE COMPLETE PROVINCE OF THE EIGHT KOREAN PROVINCES similar in intention to the "PALTO CHIDO." . The eight provinces were established during the Chosen dynasty 1392-1910 alternately and commonly called the Yi dynasty. . The eight provinces are from the north to south: . 1. Hamgyong 2. P'yong'an 3. P'yongyang 4. Kangwon 5. Hwanghae 6. Kanghwa 7. Kyongsang 8. Cholla'ungch'ong . During the Sejo reign 1455-68 Yang Songji made the first "P'Alt-do "PALTO CHIDO" type maps of the eight provinces this type and style became the "standard" for future examples. There after his style and format were copied by others for centuries. . b. A second version and style of the above eight provinces maps is called "TONGGUK CHIDO: MAP OF THE EASTERN COUNTRY i.e. KOREA" showing a compressed northern frontier along Manchuria the characteristic "CHONG CH'OK" style. . c. A third similar map: "P'ALDO-CHONGDO: A SINGLE MAP SHOWING THE EIGHT PROVINCES OF KOREA." . These maps are pictorially beautiful and artistically drawn in detail. Graphics expressing a primitive naive folk charm depicts prominent geological landscape features. Mountain ranges hills forests in green streams/rivers blues political district seats distinctively painted cartouches box-like in various differing colors for each province. Roads paddy coastal shore line & islands in blue tints with other features nicely colored. . There are a large number of name throughout each map all written in Hanzi traditional Chinese characters called "Hanja" in Korean as was the common practice at that time for Koreans. There are no Hangul characters at all. The Hanja identify navigational directions names of surrounding ocean harbors beaches geographical names city towns villages mountains rivers roads and the like. . Each of the eight maps illustrates a complete single province. Within each of the various political divisions and boundaries outlined and named. . RARITY OF KOREAN ANTIQUITIES: Antiquarian Korean examples are sparse when compared to items of the same period in China and Japan. Korean works are less than 10% of those created elsewhere. . Fewer Korean items were made survived and preserved. The attrition rate: bad weather unstable ancient mud building structures fires natural disasters earthquakes war and other factors diminished the remaining examples. . Those the numbers that come to marked are steadily reduced while the value continues to appreciate. Many never return to market when acquired by institutions or private collectors who eventually donate to museums. . DATING THESE MAPS: These were mostly undated. . There are three possible methods of dating. . a. BY PLACE NAME: there are details in the reference books about county seat names being colored or put in various kinds of 'boxes' on the map depending on that according to the resources approximate dates can be derived. . b. PAPER TECHNOLOGY & FIBERS: Koreans have been using hand-made mulberry bark and fiber paper from the Zhenguan period AD 627-649 printing Buddhist sutras by woodblocks on similar kinds of paper. . These two technologies papermaking and woodblock printing was transmitted to Japan around 700 AD. . Since that time both Koreans & Japanese have utilized mulberry paper Washi in Japanese to woodblock print and paint a large variety of items including maps books and single page works. . By comparing the paper of these maps with known dated printed Japanese books a very close approximate date can be derived. . These Korean map papers are nearly identical to dated woodblock-printed Japanese examples we have. It is therefore highly possible these maps were painted on hand-made mulberry paper from circa 1780-1810 period. . In ancient times sheet size was limited to a small size then joined to other sheets to create a large size single sheet. These maps are of that format. See McCune below where he states the kind of paper used which matches our examples. . CONDITION: Per McCune we summarize: as usual these maps were folded several times from their creation time so they could be safely stored and carried in small 'book' format in covers with a tied string. See McCune below. . Being painted on very fine & thin hand-made mulberry paper most all examples were eventually re-backed. Ours as typical have period re-backing using the same character hand-made mulberry fiber paper of a thicker quality. . They are well preserved however nevertheless as usual there remains some old original wear at the folds the expected light water stains dustiness with other typical very minor flaws for an item of this grand size being 200 years old. These do not detract from the overall excellent impression and stunning appeal. . RARITY: . The complete set is RARE! The work is nicely executed in a firm hand with artistic value illustrating artistically hills mountains and other features of the map pictorially. It is not only a map but a work of art. Tastefully colored in subtle pastels nice representation of water rives and sea. . Such early and beautifully artistic examples seldom come to market. . A RARE AND FRESH EXAMPLE NEVER BEEN ON THE MARKET IN THE LAST 120 YEARS ! . PROVENANCE: These items were acquired from a former missionary's estate who was stationed in Korea from circa 1900-1930's. They have been in this private collection since and have never been on the market. . Color scans are posted to our website. . REFERENCES: .
