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.

1925Best.-Nr. 1912074Seattle: John Muir School & Press of The Co-operative Printing Company 1925. First Edition. Soft cover. Good. 1st printing. Printed greenish-gray small 8vo wraps. 71pp. This is a rare little book published by John Muir School in Seattle to honor by way of a pageant the great naturalist. Contents "Leaves of the John Muir Book" consist of following the Acknowledgments: Introduction by Principal Jessie Lockwood. A second introductory page typeset & printed on a sheet slightly smaller than the book's dimensions and tipped in is titled "The Writing of the John Muir Pageant". It is dated March 1928 Foreword Original prose and verse by the pupils inspired by the study and production of the Pageant Quotations from the writings of John Muir and Appreciations of John Muir by different authors. The pageant section lists part episodes music characters. In pencil on the ffep is a four-line inscription "Compliments of / Miss Jessie Lockwood / Prin. John Muir / School. Mar. 1929." We do not know if the handwriting is Ms. Lookwood's. HistoryLinkdotorg says this of the school in part: "A new school opened in 1910. It was named York School after the neighborhood. Residents of the neighborhood petitioned the Seattle School Board in September 1915 to rename the school John L. Wilson. The board chose to delay making any change. In 1921 Principal Jessie Lockwood was asked to select a new name for the school. She chose to honor Scottish-born naturalist John Muir who founded the Sierra Club in 1892 and was instrumental in establishing Yellowstone National Park and the National Park Service. Part of her motivation for selecting Muir was the hope that students would develop a love of nature and a desire to conserve natural beauty." On the back cover is a sizable white residue - not really an embedded stain. It occupies a somewhat small part of the page overall yet is a blemish that detracts. A very small perhaps one-half quarter or more size of the same whitish blemish on the upper fore edge of the front cover. Hinges sound. As noted rare. This book belongs in any serious we believe library on John Muir. John Muir School & Press of The Co-operative Printing Company unknown
1988Best.-Nr. SHEL1309NYC: Jules Fisher & Paul Marantz Inc. et. al 1988. Soft cover. Very Good. In 1991 the Seattle Art Museum SAM built a new museum in downtown Seattle. The item here offered for sale is a bound set of the architectural plans/ drawings/ schema of the lighting for the new building. This items consists of 12 sheets 30 1/2" x 42 1/2". Your bookseller is certainly not an architect nor is he ordinarily a dealer in architectural books or ephemera therefore please forgive his lack of proper description. Page 1: Lighting Fixture Schedule along with list of Manufacturers. Pps 2-5: drawings/ diagrams/ descriptions of various series. Pps 6-12: Floor drawings one sheet each for 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th floors plus basement and mezzanine. It may be safe to assume that very few sets of these drawings exist. This represents desirable hard - to - come - by addition for the collector of SAM material as well as for architects who collect material related to important public buildings. This set is in very good to fine condition with no tears and only a small bit of wear or slight peeling at the fore edges opposite the binding. The binding is almost surely the original soft cloth stapled binding. The sheets are rolled up and will be shipped that way. Jules Fisher & Paul Marantz, Inc., et. al unknown
