An extraordinary collection of 24 very rare maps and engravings. Collected by Johann Ludwig Wilhelm Scherer and printed in Halle in 1802. Some of the maps don't have the publisher printed on the cartouches since this is an advanced copy intended for the publisher.

Bound in a contemporary fine leather binding. All maps are extremely scarce and some of them are without the publisher's legend, making them unique on the market.

Maps are in various dimensions, with some of them folding.
All of them are in fine condition with minimal traces of wear and aging, a few are slightly stained.

Maps are collected with the purpose of an introduction to the historical understanding of the Bible. A list of maps can be found on the first page:

Description:
San Francisco: Lithographed by W. W. Elliott Lithograph. No date (c.1890). 24x38 inches. Lithographed in black on white. Top border edge just a bit rough, but a fine crisp copy. A magnificent bird's-eye view showing all of the city of Stockton, California and the surrounding country. All of the streets and roads are labeled. Surrounding the view are 26 insets showing public and commercial buildings. Includes promotional text for the city as well as an index of significant buildings and places, keyed by number to the view. At the bottom border, "Compliments of E.A. Crennan & Co., Real Estate Auctioneers, Stockton, California." W.W. Elliott is best known for his views in a number of the county histories produced in the 1870's and 1880's. Unlike many lithographers of similar views of that period, Elliott had a knack for artistic shading which gave his images a wonderful quality of depth and clarity. This lithograph is quite scarce and is rarely offered It is not mentioned in… Read More

Paris: chez Chereanau, [1719].. Oblong small 4to. Full vellum with ties. Wear at edges, chip from fore-edge of lower front cover,blank end leaves are heavily annotated and written-upon in 18th & 19th century hands. Old stains to margins and a few maps, old paper-tape repairs to the verso of the Asia map, but generally very good. Engraved allegorical title page, 3 plates (two of globes), and 24 maps opposite explanatory text in French. 23 maps have contemporary hand-colouring in outline; a couple have attractively coloured cartouches. The Globe Terrestre map, of two hemispheres, is holed, slightly affecting the title. The map of North America shows California as an island. This is the second or third edition of this atlas, originally by Antoine Menard, first published by Chiquet in [1711 & 1713], with most of the maps dated 1709-1711. In this 1719 edition Chiquet has removed Menard's name entirely; on many of the maps (such as L'Amerique Septentrionale) he has changed it to his own name and altered… Read More

New York, Richmond, Chicago, & Toledo: H. H. Hardesty, 1885. Original color lithographed map printed by Rand, McNally & Company, Engravers and published in HARDESTY'S HISTORICAL AND GEOGRAPHICAL ENCYCLOPEDIA: SPECIAL VIRGINIA EDITION. 19 3/8 inches by 13 1/4 inches on a 21" X 14 1/2" sheet. The map depicts the Territory of Utah in its final form--large areas had been removed and ceded to Nevada, Colorado, Wyoming, and Nebraska since Utah became a U. S. Territory in 1850. The issue of polygamy prevented statehood until it was finally granted in 1896. This map features railroads and topography and uses color to set off counties from each other. Unlike most atlas maps of the period, this map identifies most small towns. The map is guaranteed to be moe than 135 years old. The map is in about very good condition: generally clean and bright, with slight toning of paper and one faint water stain near the center-left edge of the map.. Original. Single Sheet. Very Good-.
