Abraham Ortelius 1527-1598 was a prominent Flemish cartographer geographer and cosmographer renowned for creating the first modern atlas "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum" which first appeared in 1570 and expanded over time to include 134 maps by 1592. Born in Antwerp he began his career as a map colorist and became a significant figure in cartography after being influenced by Gerard Mercator. His work was pivotal in the development of modern cartography integrating maps from various sources and reflecting his advanced geographical theories including early thoughts on continental drift. Appointed Royal Cartographer to King Philip II of Spain in 1575 Ortelius had access to extensive Spanish geographical knowledge. Despite the religious and political turmoil of his time he maintained a position of relative neutrality focusing on his scholarly and cartographic pursuits. His influential works also included "Synonymia Geographica" "Nomenclator Ptolemaicus" and "Parergon. Abraham Ortelius unknown books

1863réf. 182911863. Maine Farmer. January 8 1863 prints the full text of Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation within one week of its issuance providing contemporaneous evidence of how federal emancipation policy was circulated to the Northern public during the Civil War. Published just days after January 1 1863 the issue situates emancipation alongside ongoing war reporting integrating the declaration of freedom for enslaved people in Confederate states into the broader military and political narrative of the Union war effort. Introduced under the subheading "The following is the text of the President emancipating the slaves in the rebellious states" the proclamation asserts federal authority through wartime powers declaring that "all persons held as slaves within said designated States and parts of States are and henceforward shall be free" and further authorizes the enlistment of Black men into the armed forces. The proximity of this text to battlefield reports and personal correspondence underscores the immediacy with which emancipation entered public discourse as both military strategy and social transformation. Maine Farmer. Vol. not stated. Maine January 8 1863. 4 pages. Newspaper format. The Emancipation Proclamation appears in full on the second page accompanied by additional Civil War coverage including reports of troop movements battle outcomes and casualties. On the same page a letter from a Union soldier of the 16th Maine Regiment written at the Battle of Fredericksburg reads in part: "Dear Father I write you while lying on the battlefield wounded perhaps fatally. Tell mother I think of her while lying here and wish I had her to be with me in my last parting moments." An editorial note explains that the letter was written in pencil on the battlefield the paper "tinged with blood" and that the soldier died the following day linking the proclamation directly to the lived experience of wartime sacrifice. Issued at a turning point in the Civil War the publication captures the intersection of emancipation policy military necessity and public communication in the Union states. The inclusion of both the proclamation and firsthand testimony from the battlefield demonstrates how questions of slavery citizenship and national survival were experienced simultaneously at the level of policy and individual life. Newspapers such as this served as primary vehicles through which federal decisions reached civilian audiences shaping understanding of the war's aims and consequences. Small edge tears and light foxing present not affecting text. Overall very good. unknown books
1865réf. 136231865. Lincoln Abraham. Late Civil War portrait of Abraham Lincoln derived from a February 1865 photograph taken during the final months of the American Civil War. The image records Lincoln near the conclusion of the conflict that preserved the Union and ended legal slavery in the United States. Created shortly before his assassination in April 1865 the portrait captures a visibly worn president whose appearance reflected the physical and political strain of leading the nation through four years of war. The photograph was long attributed to Mathew Brady but was actually taken by government photographer Lewis Emory Walker and issued commercially through the New York photographic publishers E. & H. T. Anthony. The portrait belongs to a group of late images that document Lincoln's appearance in the closing weeks of the war. Stereoview photograph published by Keystone View Company reproducing the 1865 Walker portrait of Abraham Lincoln. Keystone stereograph number 92. The mount bears the Keystone biographical text about Lincoln on the verso together with the company's copyright notice. A handwritten pencil notation on the reverse references the earlier attribution of the photograph to Mathew Brady. The portrait shows Lincoln with closely cut hair a style that contemporary accounts suggested was recommended by his barber in preparation for the creation of a life mask by sculptor Clark Mills. Photographic portraits of Lincoln produced during the final months of the Civil War became some of the most widely circulated visual representations of the president after his assassination in April 1865. Images such as this stereographic reproduction contributed to the creation of Lincoln's public memory in the late nineteenth century when photographic publishers issued stereographs and other prints that allowed Americans to view notable figures through emerging visual media. Stereographs played an important role in popular visual culture during this period offering audiences three dimensional photographic views through stereoscopic viewers and distributing portraits of political leaders to a wide national audience. Light wear consistent with age and handling. Overall condition good to very good. unknown books

1781réf. 32033Amsterdam: Yaccov Proops 1781. Third edition. Hardcover. g-. Quarto. 2 52 double-sided leaves. Rebacked in modern brown leather spine over original period brown leather boards. Gilt lettering and ruling on the spine. Modern endpapers. Profusely illustrated throughout with copperplate engravings. Includes both an initial illustrated title page with copperplate engravings surrounding the text Ma'aleh Bet Horin and a printed title page with decorative woodblock borders and the publisher's device. In addition to the Hebrew text a few sections throughout are in Judeo-German Yiddish printed in Vaybertaytsh script. This third edition of the famous Amsterdam Haggadah found the work reformatted into a smaller size and saw the title officially changed to Maleh Beit Horin meaning "house free men". Most of the same famous copperplate engravings by Abraham ben Jacob aka Abraham bar Yaccov that previously appeared in the 1695 and 1712 editions are retained here. The two images added to the 1712 second edition are included the illustrated order of the Seder and the complete ten plagues but four of the full series of images included in the first two editions are not present. These missing images are Abraham smashing the idols of his father Moses receiving the Ten Commandments a Mount Sinai Moses and Aaron coming to Pharaoh and the Holy Temple in Jerusalem. In our copy the engraved title and three other other engravings contain contemporary hand-coloring the rabbis of Bene Brak the Four Sons the angels visiting Abraham. The text of this third edition replaces the complete running commentary from Isaac Abravanel of the earlier editions with 3 additional text commentaries. These include the "Gevurot Hashem" from the Maharal of Prague Judah Loew ben Bezalel writings by Rabbi Moshe Alshich and "Olelot Ephraim" a collection of ethical homilies by Rabbi Shlomo Ephraim Luntschitz. However Abravanel's commentary is present following Yishtabach through the end of the Seder and in the initial six-leaf section preceding the text of the Passover seder which discusses the laws of Passover. This copy is lacking the original engraved map of the Holy Land at the rear as it was originally issued. Binding with some rubbing and abrasions to the original boards and spine. Interior with heaving staining to pages throughout with text still legible. Biding and interior in in good- condition overall.
