1857réf. 010681New York 1857. Envelope or Cover. Very good. This printed circular is titled “Transfer Office of the Southern Pacific Rail-Road Company / No. 54 Wall-Street / New York May 30 1857.” It is addressed to W. P. Mehville Wilne Esq. of Sandusky Ohio and franked with an imperforate Franklin stamp Scott #9 canceled by a black circular New York postmark. In nice shape with a tiny bit of soiling to the edges. The notice reads in part: “An installment of fifty cents a share will become due and payable on the three percent. Stock held by you in the Company on the first Monday of July next. . . Stock on which said instalment shall not be paid will be sold at auction in conformity with . . . the Charter. . . “About sixteen miles of our ‘Road’ are now graded and nearly furnished with cross-ties – twenty-four hundred and seventy-eight tons of rail-road iron have been bought and paid for and sent up Red River – sufficient to finish twenty-five miles of road.” . The Southern Pacific Rail-Road referenced in this document is not the much more famous transcontinental route. This railroad was founded on 16 February 1852 officially as the Vicksburg and El Paso Railroad although throughout the document it was referred to as the Texas Western Railroad. It was later bought by the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad for $600000. It was later acquired by Texas interests and its named officially changed to the Southern Pacific Railroad the predecessor of the Texas and Pacific Railway. It was never associated with the later and more famous transcontinental Southern Pacific. During 1857 the railroad laid 23 miles of track between Marshall and Swanson’s Landing on Caddo Creek. During the Civil War the line was connected to Shreveport Louisiana. In 1872 it was sold to the Texas Pacific Railroad Company which in 1976 merged with the Missouri Pacific Railroad. For more information see Werner’s “History of the Texas Western Railroad Companies” and “History of the Texas and Pacific Railway Company” both at the Texas State Historical Association website. Scarce. At the time of listing no other documents from this Southern Pacific Railroad are for sale in the trade. Although no other 1857 circulars documenting the construction of the first 16 miles of its track have been sold at auction other materials related to it have. OCLC shows no materials related to this Southern Pacific Railroad are held by institutions however it is possible there may some within the Texas & Pacific Railway Collection at the University of North Texas. . unknown books

1827Carta apparsa nella sesta parte, "Océanique", dell'Atlas universel de géographie physique, politique, statistique et minéralogique di Vandermaelen. L'atlante fu prodotto in un'unica edizione nel 1827; furono venduti solo 810 esemplari completi. Questa grande opera, che comprende circa 378 mappe uniche e che fu compilata nell'arco di tre anni, fu il primo atlante litografico e il primo a rappresentare il mondo con la stessa proiezione e in una scala uniforme. Philippe Marie Guillaume Vandermaelen è stato un cartografo fiammingo attivo a Bruxelles nella prima parte del XIX secolo. A Vandermaelen si deve uno dei più notevoli sviluppi dell'impresa privata nella cartografia, ovvero il suo straordinario Atlas Universel de Geographie in sei volumi. Vandermaelen, nato a Bruxelles il 23 dicembre 1795, viene considerato come il più grande cartografo belga dopo Mercatore e Ortelius. Figlio di un medico che era diventato un ricco produttore di sapone, muovendosi in un ambiente commerciale e da autodidatta, divenne un commerciante di prodotti chimici e farmaceutici. Fanatico di geografia, la sua carriera subisce una svolta definitiva quando, nel 1825, inizia a pubblicare un rivoluzionario Atlas universel che lo consacra come cartografo. Primo atlante al mondo a rappresentare la Terra su una scala unica ed eccezionalmente grande, l'Atlas universel offriva la rappresentazione più ampia, completa e precisa mai realizzata. I suoi contemporanei lo capirono, come la Chiesa cattolica romana, che era in una fase di espansione. Negli anni Trenta del XIX secolo, Roma sosteneva che questo atlante era assolutamente il miglior atlante disponibile, prezioso strumento della sua politica missionaria nell'Oceano Pacifico e nelle isole meridionali. Bibliografia Marguerite Silvestre, Philippe Vandermaelen, Mercator de la jeune Belgique, 2016. Map appeared in the sixth part, 'Océanique,' of Vandermaelen's Atlas universel de géographie physique, politique, statistique et minéralogique. The atlas was produced in one edition in 1827; only 810 complete sets were sold. This great work, featuring some 378 unique maps and compiled over three years, was the first lithograph atlas, and the first to render the world on the same projection and at a uniform scale. Philippe Marie Guillaume Vandermaelen (December 23, 1795 - May 29, 1869) was a Flemish cartographer active in Brussels during the first part of the 19th century. Vandermaelen is created with "one of the most remarkable developments of private enterprise in cartography," namely his remarkable six volume Atlas Universel de Geographie. No one could have foreseen that Philippe Vandermaelen, born in Brussels on 23 December 1795, would become the greatest Belgian cartographer since Mercator and Ortelius. Son of a doctor who had become a wealthy soap maker, moving in a business environment and self-taught, he became a dealer of chemical and pharmaceutical products. As a geography fanatic, there was a definitive shift in his career when, in 1825, he began to publish a revolutionary Atlas universel which established him as a cartographer. As the first atlas in the world to represent the Earth on a single and exceptionally large scale, the Atlas universel offered the widest, most complete and most precise representation ever achieved. His contemporaries understood this, such as the Roman Catholic Church, which was in a phase of expansion. In the 1830s, Rome claimed that this atlas was “the best atlas available” and was the instrument of its missionary policy in the Pacific Ocean and the southern islands. Litograph, with original outline colour, very good condition. Bibliografia Marguerite Silvestre, Philippe Vandermaelen, Mercator de la jeune Belgique, 2016.
