Dark gray-green publisher’s cloth portfolio pocket binding decorative borders in blind gilt lettering stamped on front cover a NF copy. First edition thus of this very scarce dissected pocket map of Ireland published against the backdrop of the full impact of the Great Potato Famine which from 1841-1851 resulted in the diaspora and death of nearly 30% of the Irish population and as reflected in the mileage table mounted with the map the population in 1845 had already dropped from 8.2 million in 1841 to 7.7 million by 1844 and it would plummet further to below 6.5 million by 1851. The bulk of these emigrated to the United States Canada and the United Kingdom resulting in the fact that Ireland’s current population still resides below the high of 1841 and nearly 38 million Irish-Americans claim descent from the successive waves of migration much of which channeled through New York’s Lower East Side and the Bowery in the 19th-Century. John Walker 1787-1873 was a British mapmaker engraver lithographer hydrographer draughtsman and publisher publishing nautical charts and geographical maps with his brothers Charles and Alexander in their firm J.&C. Walker located at 9 Castle Street Holborn from 1841-1847 and moving to 37 Castle St. in 1848 where they remained to 1875.

The Europe map depicts the East Prussia still controlled by the Weimar Republic and then after Hitler ascended to power; while Africa still retains much of the colonial powers as shown in the Belgian Congo Anglo-Egyptian Sudan French Equatorial Africa and even Beuchuanaland. The Australia and the Far East Map clearly defines the Japanese United States British & Australian mandates across the South Pacific.

[Massachusetts – Maps – Cycling] Oliver, William T

Lynn Massachusetts: Arthur W. Robinson 1891. Nine of a ten-map series mostly measuring 14 ½ x 19 inches. Folded with slight marginal folding and wrinkling; Near Fine. Nine of a set of ten maps of the entire state of Massachusetts produced in 1891 for the League of American Wheelmen. The League was founded in Rhode Island in 1880 as a membership organization for cyclists. Besides presiding over racing and producing cycling guidebooks it advocated for increased government spending on road improvements especially for rural roads; these maps indicate roads of superior and inferior quality. In the 1890s there was a boom in cycling’s popularity mainly because of several inventions that allowed a safer and more pleasant ride compared to that of a penny-farthing.<br /> <br /> This group is near complete; we find two complete editions on OCLC.
