Blaeu set up his mapmaking and publishing business in Amsterdam where he sold instruments and globes published maps and edited the works of intellectuals like Descartes and Hugo Grotius. In 1633 he was appointed map-maker of the Dutch East India Company. In 1635 he released his atlas Theatrum Orbis Terrarum sive Atlas novus. Willem died in 1638. He had two sons Cornelis 1610-1648 and Johannes 1596-1673. Joan trained as a lawyer but joined his father's business rather than practice. After his father's death the brothers took over their father's shop and Joan took on his work as hydrographer to the Dutch East India Company.

Minor dampstaining but good to very good. From the library of Alfred Swaine Taylor founder of forensic toxicology an archive relating to the notorious and sensational Charles Bravo poisoning a case that is still unsolved. The Bravo mystery has inspired several works of fiction including Shirley Jackson's We Have Always Lived in the Castle 1962 and a three-part BBC serial titled The Poisoning of Charles Bravo 1975. Bravo 1845-76 a 33-year-old barrister died of tartar emetic antimony poisoning on 21 April 1876 less than five months after his marriage to a wealthy widow; the marriage was reportedly an unhappy one. The inquest on Bravo's death held on 25 and 28 April returned an open verdict but the circumstances of the case were so suspicious that Taylor offered his expert advice to Harry Bodkin Poland one of the attorneys for the Crown. Our archive includes the letter Poland sent thanking Taylor for "your letter about the Bravo Case and for the offer of further advice and assistance" and informing Taylor that he "will show your letter to Mr. Augustus K. Stephenson the Solicitor to the Treasury." Stephenson is represented in the archive by three letters asking for Taylor's expert opinion on the case: "You have read the account of the Post-mortem encl. by Dr. Payne . . . That being so does it enable you to form an opinion as to whether the antimony was taken in solid food . . . letter of 3 June. "Assuming small traces of antimony to have been found in the liver of a deceased person-Can you form any opinion as to length of time before death that the antimony was taken" letter of 5 June. "Can you tell me whether antimony in the form of tartar emetic wd. if taken in small doses at intervals during pregnancy induce a miscarriage letter of 22 July. The last item in our archive is a galley proof corrected in Taylor's hand of the first two-thirds of an article on the Bravo case published on 20 May in the British Medical Journal; although the article is unsigned it was most likely written by Taylor. Based on the medical evidence Taylor concluded that Bravo had ingested the fatal dose of antimony during his last meal. He severely criticized the investigators in the case for not testing the remains of the bottle of wine he had drunk with the meal-"the only article of food not shared in common with the three who sat at the dinner-table . . . If tartar emetic had been found in this wine much of the present mystery hanging about the case would be removed . . . In tracing the further history of this bottle we learn that no one now knows what became of it or its contents." . unknown

1918rif. 184801918. American Red Cross Poland photo album Warsaw Operations 1918-1920 documents U.S. humanitarian operations in Eastern Europe following World War I recording relief work conducted during the Polish-Soviet War and the broader reconstruction of Polish civil and medical infrastructure. The images identify personnel locations and operational units associated with American Red Cross efforts as they provided transport medical care and material aid in a region destabilized by the collapse of empires and the reestablishment of an independent Polish state in 1918. A caption referencing "the Polish-Russian front ARC 1920 Poland" situates the album within active conflict conditions while additional annotations tied to supply trains and field units establish the material as a contemporaneous record of organized international relief. Photo album measuring approximately 8 x 11.5 inches with 34 photographs mounted across 11 leaves each image approximately 3 x 5 inches. The photographs depict American Red Cross personnel aboard trains and railway platforms including a documented ARC supply train as well as automobile units in transit or undergoing roadside repair captioned "American Red Cross cars 1918 Poland." Several images include handwritten annotations identifying subjects locations and squadron designations. One photograph shows a group of workers assembled on a makeshift structure with a caption identifying "Van Wert in charge of one of the relief trains" indicating named personnel connected to field operations. Produced during the initial phase of internationally coordinated humanitarian intervention in postwar Poland the album aligns with the 1919 recognition of the Polish Red Cross by the International Committee of the Red Cross which facilitated the transfer of hospitals medical trains and logistical infrastructure into Polish administration. The photographs document the integration of American aid within these systems including rail-based medical transport and mobile support units critical to relief distribution in contested and newly reorganized territories. Some photographs detached from leaves and a tear to the front cover; images and structure otherwise intact. Overall very good condition. unknown
