1851Decorativa carta geografica pubblicata in The Illustrated Atlas, And Modern History Of The World Geographical, Political, Commercial & Statistical… edito da John Tallis. Le mappe del The Illustrated Atlas non solo fornivano conoscenze geografiche aggiornate, ma utilizzavano anche viste a vignetta all'interno del disegno per mostrare i popoli nativi e le loro occupazioni, le città e i punti di interesse. Le mappe si rifanno alla tradizione cartografica dei cartografi olandesi del XVII secolo, con bordi decorativi finemente incisi. Le tavole sono state disegnate e incise da John Rapkin con vedute realizzate da una serie di artisti di spicco. Le mappe furono pubblicate in volume completo dal 1851 fino al 1865 circa. Alcune delle mappe furono pubblicate anche in altri libri di storia pubblicati da Tallis, tra cui quello sulle British Colonies e, senza le vignette, in dizionari geografici ed enciclopedie fino al 1880 circa. John Tallis (1817-1876) era un editore di mappe britannico. Nato nelle Midlands, Tallis arrivò a Londra negli anni '40 del XIX secolo. Tallis iniziò la sua carriera londinese con una serie di notevoli vedute stradali di Londra. Iniziò una collaborazione con un certo Frederick Tallis, forse suo fratello, ma la loro collaborazione terminò nel 1849. In occasione della Grande Esposizione del 1851, Tallis pubblicò il The Illustrated Atlas. Le mappe furono successivamente ristampate dalla London Printing & Publishing Company, che lasciò intatta l'imprint di Tallis, assicurandogli così una fama duratura. Incisione su acciaio, coloritura dei confini all'acquarello, in ottime condizioni. Islands outlined with gold and surrounded by illustrations of Auckland, Mount Egmont, a New Zealander, and the port of Wellington. Border in a New Zealand motif. Decorative map taken from The Illustrated Atlas, And Modern History Of The World Geographical, Political, Commercial & Statistical by John Tallis The maps from The Illustrated Atlas were first published in serial form to a target audience that led insular lives due to the expense and hardship of travel. All that changed as the progress of the nineteenth century brought swift and dramatic changes in public awareness of far away places. Tallis' maps no doubt played an important role in this dramatic awakening. These maps not only provided up-to-date geographical knowledge, but also used vignette views within the map's design to show the native people and their occupations, cities and points of interest. The maps hark back to a cartographic tradition from the Dutch mapmakers of the seventeenth century with finely engraved decorative borders. The maps were drawn and engraved by John Rapkin with views drawn and engraved by a number of prominent artists. The maps were issued as a complete volume from 1851 until about 1865. Some of the maps were also published in other history books published by Tallis including British Colonies and, without the vignettes, in geographical dictionaries and encyclopedias until about 1880. John Tallis (1817-1876) was a British map publisher. Born in the Midlands, Tallis came to London in the 1840s. Tallis began his London career with a series of remarkable London street views. He began a partnership with a Frederick Tallis, possibly his brother, but their collaboration ended in 1849. For the Great Exhibition of 1851, Tallis published the Illustrated World Atlas, one of the last series of decorative world maps ever produced. The maps were later reissued by the London Printing & Publishing Company, who left the Tallis imprint intact, thus ensuring his enduring fame. In 1858, he began publication of the popular Illustrated News of the World and National Portrait Gallery of Eminent Personages, selling it in 1861 (it ceased publication in 1863). Engraving, hand-coloured outlines, in very good condition.

1917rif. List1730Chicago: Poole Brothers 1917. Folding map measuring 38 ½ x 26 ¾ inches. Tape repairs to verso some tears at folds and edges still bring and attractive good to very good overall with excellent restoration potential. A map of the canneries in Alaska British Columbia and Washington operated by the Deming and Gould Company who were influential in the growth of the Alaskan salmon trade. The map's date of printing 1917 suggests that perhaps it was related to the war effort as salmon demand increased during this period. The Demings based in Chicago were influential in the growth of the salmon trade in Alaska and the Pacific Northwest founding Pacific American Fisheries Inc. in 1899 and continuing in various iterations until their sale of the firm in 1934 due to president E.B. Deming's ailing health. The map shows seventeen different canneries several on the Alaska peninsula and the one in Bellingham. We find no record of this imprint only a later and small version held at the University of Washington. Poole Brothers unknown

1934rif. 3798This delightful pictorial map focusing on the North Pacific Ocean was distributed as a premium in connection with the syndicated radio program "Air Adventures of Jimmie Allen." The program featuring Jimmie Allen as an adventurous 16-year old pilot ran from 1933 to 1937 and from 1946 to 1947 and was sponsored initially by the Skelly Oil Company. Background on the show appears on the Radio Days Theater of the Mind Museum website http://radiodaysmuseum.org: "Broadcast History: 1933 to 1937 and 1946 to 1947. The writers of Jimmie Allen had been flying aces in World War I. They came up with the idea of a show about a boy pilot while at a party in Kansas City and used their experience as pilots to create and write the show. The show was one of the first to capitalize on the idea of a club as a promotional tool. To join the Jimmie Allen Flying Club all a child had to do was apply at any Skelly Gas Station the initial sponsor. As a member the child received a whole host of goodies ranging from a set of wings through to a "personal" letter from Jimmie himself. An incredible 600000 club newspapers were sent out to children each week and many thousands attended the Jimmie Allen Air Races that were held in Midwest cities. The show was first broadcast between 1933 and 1937 and then came back to the air with brand new stories after the war between 1946 and 1947. The post-war stint in no way lived up to the fascination for the show in the 1930s." http://radiodaysmuseum.org/index.php/our-collection-1/2-old-time-radio-shows/7-juvenile/265-air-adventures-of-jimmie-allen-the An uncommon map.

Loosely tucked in between pp. 12 adn 13 is a notice of a meeting led by A. C. Scott. Both men were Methodist ministers in Oregon. Edward Robinson was one of the most prominent English-speaking Biblical Scholars in the 19th century holding professorships first at Andover-Newton and later Union Theological Seminary. 'His most important fruit . was the preparation of an independent Greek and English Lexicon of the New Testament which at once took the place of the his own translation of Wahl's Clavis. He made frequent use of his predecessors — Bruder Schleussner Wahl Bretschneider and all exegetic sources of importance; and. in the later editions particularly of the commentaries of De Wette and Meyer which he preferred on account of their great philological advantages and concise brevity without however allowing them to disturb his American orthodoxy in any important point. This extremely valuable and sterling work first appeared in 1836 and was at once welcomed as the best English lexicon of the New Test. and reprinted in three different editions in England. A new edition greatly improved and in part entirely altered appeared in 1850 and made it the first work of its kind to the present time. It is likewise an almost complete concordance and enables the student to nearly dispense with Bruder. This work is a monument of labor and industry. Its motto is 'Dies diem docet' and 'Nulla dies sine linea.'' McClintock & Strong 'Robinson was born near Southington Connecticut the-son of a Congregational minister. He was educated at Hamilton College in Clinton New York 1812-16. On a visit to Andover in 1822 Robinson fell under the spell of Moses Stuart who persuaded him to study in the seminary. In 1826 Robinson went to Europe where he studied four years primarily at Halle and Berlin. Returning to Andover he was named Professor of Biblical Literature in 1830. In 1837 Robinson was appointed to the faculty of Union Theological Seminary in New York which had been founded the year prior. William Baird History of New Testament Research II/28.

They were designed to allow travelers to sail further up the St. Lawrence River to Montreal as well as to those wishing to travel into the Great Lakes. The ships were fitted with enough capacity to hold 400 first class passengers and 300 tourist class passengers. The ships entered service from Liverpool to Montreal in July 1947 and September 1948 respectively.
