A travers cette brochure, Poincaré traite des trois modes de représentation (isoombres, suivies et horaires) des phénomènes météorologiques, modes employés avec beaucoup de réticence à l'époque. Il explique notamment les légendes des deux cartes qu'il a réalisées pour représenter les pluies tombées sur la Meuse et le bassin de la Seine durant l'hiver 1868-1869. En 1871, Poincaré présente à la Commission de l'Association Scientifique de France une étude en 7 parties intitulée "études sur la distribution et la marche des pluies dans la région". Un résumé sera publié peu après dans le n° 211 de la revue hebdomadaire de l'institution. Antoine Poincaré, polytechnicien et ingénieur en chef à Bar-le-Duc fut l'oncle du mathématicien et physicien Henri Poincaré et le père de Raymond Poincaré, président de la France de 1913 à 1920. Malgré la présence minime de rousseurs et de taches sur les couvertures, bel exemplaire

Carte de la partie européene et asiatique de l'Empire de Russie [...]. Vienna, T[ranquillo] Mollo, 1812.
Engraved map printed from 12 copper plates, with 2 supplements, dimensions 147,5 x 129 cm (including supplements 165 x 140 cm). Constant ratio linear horizontal scale ca. 1:2.1 million. Relief shown by hachures. Coordinates approximate and based on Greenwich meridian. Mounted on rough cloth; left and right edges protected by green strips of cloth. In French and German. Shows extensive detail of waterways, political divisions, various roads, post stations, variously sized settlements. Consisting of 12 main sheets and 2 supplements, the map "probably appeared just in time to be offered as a map of the theatre of Napoleon's invasion of Russia. Showing the area between Gdansk and Tobolsk, and between the Kara Strait and Armenia, the map displays (in the words of a contemporary review) 'most clearly, without being in any way cluttered, [...] all conceivably important settlements, mountains, rivers, lakes, etc. in the Russian Empire and its adjacent parts, and it is quite rightly to be preferred to all other renderings of the war theatre hitherto published, as it includes Astrakhan and Tobolsk, and is quite complete in every other respect, while other maps often include not even Moscow, for which reason this map is recommended as a very useful tool to anybody wishing to follow the history of the present war'" (cf. Dörflinger II, 463f.). The two supplements added at the middle of the lower and right edge concern the areas of Tobolsk and Tiflis. - Some occasional waterstaining; Tobolsk supplement fairly strongly wrinkled. The upper edge (beyond the plate) shows traces of former wall mounting. Dörflinger II, 463: Mol 39. Tooley I, 332 (without supplements). OCLC 964537090.

Keller, Heinrich.
Panorama prise au Sommet du Mont Rigi. Zurich, Keller & Füssli, (1816).
8vo. Fan-folded, hand-coloured aquatint (with 9 folding double leaves, c. 195 x 1980 mm) in contemporary blindstamped blue boards with floral design and mounted border. In slipcase with mounted title. The finest and rarest of Keller's panoramas in contemporary colour, depicting the view from Mount Rigi from Risch on Lake Zug to Kuessnacht on Lake Lucerne. Not to be confused with Keller's much more common like-titled panoramas of merely half size, published from 1820 onwards (cf. Harteveld Cat. 206, no. 123: their copy described as "splendidly coloured copy, then sold for the fourfold price of copies in simple colour"). In 1823 Keller was to publish yet another large-format panorama as part of a book with the same title, again not identical with this present view. - The title label bears the publisher note as quoted above; the view itself is captioned: "Gezeichnet auf dem Rigi-Kulm, 1814, von H. Keller, Vermehrt u. Berichtigt 1816 / gestochen von J. J. Scheurmann 1815". Two flaps (measuring 70 x 160 mm) can be folded out at the bottom, through with the view includes Arth on Lake Zug. Similarly, Mount Rossberg is also inserted as a flap, behind which the viewer may uncover Lake Aegeri and Eccehomo. Mounted on the back pastedown is a coloured engraving: "Le Mont Righi, dessiné près de Zoug" (175 x 107 mm; B. Bullinger del., F. Hegi sc.). - Minute paper defect on the horizon at far left, otherwise in perfect condition. Binding with occasional insignificant staining; altogether very clean. Insignificant bumping to edges of slipcase. Ms. ownership note by the Austrian actor Joseph Koberwein (1774-1857). The son of the important travelling actor Simon Friedrich Koberwein made his debut in 1796 at the Vienna Court Theatre and remained as a member of the ensemble until 1846. His principal roles were Ferdinand, Leicester, and Wallenstein. - Very rare; library and collection catalogues (OCLC, British Library, etc.) list only the later editions. Cf. Lonchamp 1672 (note). Barth 193787ff. (book edition only).

Four-plate engraving by J. E. Mansfeld, mounted on cloth and framed under glass. 131 x 162 cm. Probably the most monumental layout plan of the Vienna inner city ever published, doubling the scale of Nagel's better-known (and more common) plan of Vienna and its suburbs (1781), and self-published as early as 1774. Nagel had begun his surveying task shortly after completion of the re-numbering of houses in 1770. "Probably completed in October 1774" (cf. Dörflinger). - Slight browning to margins, otherwise fine. Extremely rare. Dörflinger, Österreichische Karten des 18. Jhs. I, 71 and note 115. Not in Mayer or Eckl colls.

Rally, Wilhelm von
Collection of 25 drawings of Lower Austrian castles and mediaeval churches. Various places, 1829-1832.
26 drawings (25 in pencil, 1 in red chalk) on paper, various formats (mostly folio), mounted on backing paper, some signed and dated. In contemporary paper wrappers, captioned: "Handzeichnungen von Wilhelm von Rally 38 [corrected to 35] St. Ansichten aus Nieder-Oesterreich Inv. Nr. 10133". The drawings were created during excursions made to the Wachau, Thaya, and Vienna regions, as well as to southern Lower Austria and the foothills of the Alps. They show the ruins of Johannstein near Sparbach, Starhemberg near Wiener Neustadt, St. Othmar in Mödling, three views of Molz, Kollmitz, Weißenburg, Schauenstein, Lichtenwörth, Tulln, Greifenstein, the church in Muthmannsdorf, Scharfeneck near Mannersdorf, Kaya, Hardegg, Aggstein, Pottschach, Klamm, Wald, Albrechtsberg, Gamming, as well as two views of Neuberg/Mürz (Styria). In spite of their not always convincing artistic quality, these highly detailed views constitute a valuable topographic source.

[Siebenbürgen] - Tîrgu Mures.
Libera regiaque civitas siculica Maros Vasarhely. Targu Mures, [1822-]1827.
Kupferstich von Samuel Nagy nach Mikolai Tóth Istvan. 415:780 mm. Unter Passepartout. Prachtvolle und großformatige, als Einzelblatt erschienene Gesamtansicht der Stadt Targu Mures (dt. Neumarkt am Mieresch, ungar. Marosvásárhely) in Siebenbürgen. - Bei der in den Jahren 1822-25 entstandenen Ansicht der Stadt aus der Vogelschau handelt es sich um die bis dahin genaueste topographische Aufnahme der Stadt, die bis zum Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts unübertroffen bleiben sollte. Vorangegangen waren dem vorliegenden Blatt lediglich zwei kleinere und recht ungenaue Veduten von 1736 bzw. 1750; die früheste bei Nebehay/Wagner genannte Ansicht der Stadt datiert überhaupt erst von 1840. Die eingedruckte Legende im unteren weißen Rand benennt die wichtigsten Gebäude und Monumente, dazwischen ein Adler das Stadtwappen haltend. - Breitrandig mit umlaufendem Plattenrand und sehr sauber. Minimale Randläsuren außerhalb des Passepartoutausschnittes fachmännisch restauriert. Von größter Seltenheit. Keresztes Gyula. Marosvásárhely látképe és házsorainak képe Mikolai Tóth István rajzai alapján, Milléniumi megemlékezés, Juventus Kiadó, Marosvásárhely, 2000, SS. 230-237.

[Viennensia - Harmonietheater].
Plan der Umgebung des Orpheum's im Masse 1:720. [Wohl Wien, um 1870].
725:590 mm. Lithogr. Faltplan in 30 Segmenten, auf Leinen aufgezogen. Im originaler goldgepr. Leinenmappe der Wiener Feuerwehr. Von der Feuerwehr der Stadt Wien gedruckter Straßenplan, der die Zufahrt zum Musiktheater "Orpheum" in der Wasagasse sowie die Lage der Hydranten und die Stellplätze für Mannschafts-, Schlauch-, Lösch-, Rüstwagen und Dampfspritze veranschaulicht. Zeigt auch Grundrisse aller Stockwerke des Hauses. Der dargestellte Bereich des 9. Bezirks reicht von der Beethovengasse bis zur Grünentorgasse. - Das 1864/65 von Otto Wagner erbaute Harmonietheater wurde 1866 eröffnet; in diesem Jahr hatte Ludwig Anzengruber unter dem Namen "Gruber" seinen erster Auftritt. Schon 1868 zum "Orpheum" umgestaltet, erlebte das Haus 1872 als "Danzers Orpheum" seine große Blüte. 1900 renoviert und in ein intimes Theater umgestaltet, wurde es 1908 als Sprechbühne mit dem Namen "Neue Wiener Bühne" eröffnet und 1928 geschlossen.

[Globe - Terrestrial]. Malby & Co.
Malby’s terrestrial globe. [London], Malby & Co. (engraved by Chas. Malby), 1 January 1848.
Diameter: 45.5 cms (18 inch), height in stand: 64.5 cm. An engraved terrestrial globe with 12 gores and 2 polar caps over a plaster-covered core, and the engraved horizon ring on the wooden stand, all coloured by a contemporary hand. In a contemporary wooden stand with 3 turned legs supporting the horizon ring, and 3 turned stretchers with a cylindrical centrepiece with a knob on the underside. Further with a contemporary brass hour circle and a slightly later iron meridian ring (and probably the axis pivots). Only recorded copy of the 1848 edition (preceded only by one recorded copy of the 1846 edition) of Malby’s 18 inch (45.5 cms) terrestrial globe, the largest he engraved and much rarer than his 12 inch globe. “Debai” (Dubai) is shown on the Gulf coast, only 15 years after the al-Maktoum dynasty took charge of it in 1833. The globe seems to be intended especially for navigational use, with not only a grid of parallels and meridians (with the prime meridian through Greenwich), but also the irregular curved lines indicating the variation of magnetic from geographic north (“isogones”), at 5 degree intervals. From these one can clearly see where the magnetic poles were. Malby seems to be the first and almost the only globe maker to show them. The engraver signed the present globe “Chas. Malby” and signed the 12 inch globe of 1845 described by Dekker “C. I. Malby”. He must therefore have been Charles Isaac Malby (1816-post 1868). Thomas Malby, Charles’s brother, first set up as a globe publisher around 1839 and was trading as Malby & Co by 1841. Charles may have engraved nearly all of his globes. The earliest Malby globe known to survive is dated 1842, but his earliest recorded 18 inch globes are a pair at the Mariners’ Museum in Virginia: the celestial globe dated 1843 and the terrestrial globe dated 1846. The Austrian National Library has an 18 inch Malby terrestrial globe dated 1850, but we find no further example until 1872. The present 1848 example appears to be unique. The horizon ring has an owner’s stamp on the printed surface, nearly due east, apparently a coat of arms in a wreath, but difficult to make out. The horizon ring and globe have a dozen small cracks repaired and a few small gaps in the surface image, some repaired, but are otherwise in good condition. Extremely rare and lovely large globe, with the fascinating and unusual graphic presentation of geomagnetism. Cf. British Library online cat. BLL01013005847; Dekker, GLB0081; Dunn & Wallis, British globes up to 1850 (1999) 209 & 443; World in your hands (Rudolph Schmidt coll.) 7.12 & 7.13; Yonge, Early globes (1968), p. 46.

Vischer, Georg Matthäus.
Archiducatus Austriae Superioris Geographica Descriptio facta Anno 1667. Augsburg, Melchior Küsell, 1669.
Kupferstichkarte von 12 Platten mit Legende und sechs Kartuschen (darunter auch Veduten mit figürl. Staffage, u. a. eine Ansicht des Traunsees mit Gmunden u. Schloß Orth sowie Attersee mit Schloß Kammer), zus. auf Leinwand aufgezogen und auf zwei zeitgenössische Holzstäbe mit gedrechselten Knäufen montiert. 1280:1265 mm. Erste Ausgabe der großen Vischer-Karte von Oberösterreich, spätere Ausgaben sind 1762 und 1808 erschienen. “Die erste der großen Landkarten des Georg Matthäus Vischer ist die Karte von Oberösterreich. Ende des Jahres 1666 hat Vischer das Projekt den oberösterreichischen Ständen vorgeschlagen, im Mai 1667 erhielt er schon den Auftrag, Sommer 1667 ist er mit den Vermessungsarbeiten im Gelände beschäftigt, und im Winter desselben Jahres wird die Karte bereits gezeichnet. Am 21. Februar 1668 konnte Vischer die vollendete Karte den Ständen vorlegen” (Dörflinger/Wagner). Die vorliegende Karte gilt als die erste autoptisch aufgenommene, großformatige und detaillierte Karte von Oberösterreich und “diente einem der universalsten Barockkartographen, dem Venezianer Vincenzo Coronelli (1650-1718) als Vorbild” (Kat. Austria Picta, 56f.), der die vorliegende Karte 1692 für seinen ‘Corso Geografico universale’ in verkleinertem Format nachgestochen hat. - Durch die alte Montage und Aufhängung mit den üblichen Gebrauchspuren und an den Plattenkanten etwas rissig, das Leinen jedoch fachmännisch erneuert, einige kl. Fehlstellen retuschiert. Wie alle großformatigen Wandkarten des Barock selten, die vorliegende noch dazu in der originalen Fassung des 17. Jahrhunderts auf zwei hölzerne Rundstäbe montiert. Dörflinger/Wagner/Wawrik, Descriptio Austriae (1977), 126 u. Tafel 28.
