The map is drawn from Jansson’s map of the northeast from 1651 which was later added to by Nicolas Visscher.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis example by Matthias Seutter features an updated view of the city of New York which is titled “Neu Jork sive New Amsterdam,” with a key to the vignette just below written in Latin. Crowning this view of the former Dutch colony is a scene depicting natives and gods presenting food and gifts to King George II. Unlike previous editions of this map, this third state contains engraved boundary lines separating New England, Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. Previous editions left the political boundaries to the colorists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe interior of the region is filled with forests, mountains, native tribe locations, pilgrim settlements, and a multitude of vignettes depicting indigenous animals.

The map was published in Theatrum Orbis Terrarum in Vienna, Austria in the year 1571.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a scarce early impression of a world map originally produced by the Blaeu Family, but ultimately published by Gerard Valck. Shirley notes that \"the projection used - two north and south polar views, each extending to the equator - is not a common one and it has been suggested that Blaeu intended this special map for the Spanish edition of the Atlas Major which was never completed.\" An unfortunate fire in 1672 destroyed the Blaeu Company and the atlas was never completed. The plate for this map was recovered by Valck and published circa 1695 in his own atlas. In early impressions such as this one, the imprint from the original Blaeu plate can still be seen in the lower cartouche.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most significant geographical feature of this map is the depiction of California as an island. While there had been numerous maps depicting California as an island before this one, it is the only example by Blaeu to do so. Throughout their existence, the Blaeu Company had consistently projected North America with California attached and the coast jutting to the far northwestern reaches of the Pacific. In this example the northern Pacific includes the land and Strait of Anian and just east of Tartaria, a partial coastline of Compagnie Landt which remained in most maps of the area for around 100 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are many geographic curiosities throughout the map that are worth noting. An early delineation of the Great Lake of North America can be seen by the incomplete large body of water just west of Virginia. In South America, there are two mythical lakes “Parime Lacus,” and “Lago de los Xarayes,” that remained for over 100 years. An incomplete Australia is depicted as being completely attached to New Guinea (labeled Terra dos Papous), while the islands of Tasmania and New Zealand are shown as nothing more than a speculative coastline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBelow the map are two beautifully engraved scenes of Adam and Eve. To the left, Adam is shown resting on a cliff’s edge with eve appearing out from his hip, looking to the heavens. Just right of the decorative cartouche is a scene showing Adam naming the animals. Above the map are animated engravings of the sun and moon with a figure of a sphere centered under the bannered title.

Flower. The map was published by S.H. Burhans \u0026amp; J. Van Vechten. It was engraved, printed, colored, and originally mounted by Edward Mendel who was a famous Chicago based (162 W. Lake st.) lithographer and engraver known for his currency designs and early Chicago prints. The map is colored and includes a reference key for railroads, canals, wagon roads, churches, houses, and a complete list of Cook County post offices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe map includes over 30 inserts of various towns throughout Cook county as well as a business directory list for many of the towns. A large number of the towns in this map have since been unincorporated, renamed, or incorporated into the city of Chicago. For example, the town of Long John and Minnehaha no longer exist. The town of Taylorsport is now known as Glencoe, Brickton is now Park Ridge, and Dunton is now Arlington Heights. Pine Grove is now part of the Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago and Jefferson, once a small settlement of traders, hunters, and farmers, is now a densely populated neighborhood of Chicago known as Jefferson Park. Images of important buildings and places decorate this map throughout. Some of these images include the Women's College of Northwestern, Bryan Hall, the Tremont House, Graceland cemetery, and a view of the city from the lakefront.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSurrounding the map is a floral vignette border containing twenty advertisements for businesses throughout the cook county some of which include apothecaries, horse veterinarians, brewers, and a horse boarding and sales stable. Numerous historical features are displayed throughout this map. Just to the north and south of the Chicago are two lines running diagonally from the lake to the southwest of the map. These lines are the start of large Indian boundary lines that run deep into the state of Illinois. These lines came about in 1816 when the Sauk and Fox tribes ceded land within a 20 mile corridor to the U.S. at the Treaty of St. Louis. The land outside the boundary lines was owned by the Native American tribes until the Chicago treaty in 1833. Another interesting historical marker found in the map is the Tomb of Stephen A. Douglas which lies just south of Cottage Grove. Soon after this map was made, the land around the tomb became the site of a Union Army volunteer training center that thousands of Chicago area recruits would soon pass through. As the war went on, the training center became a Confederate Soldier prison camp that came to be known as Camp Douglas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fact that there are less than 7 examples of this map in current, recorded existence makes this piece a rarity in its truest form. All examples of this map except one are held in various institutions including the Library of Congress, Chicago Historical society and the Newberry Library.

Widely regarded as one of the most geographically accurate maps of Africa for its time, the map displays great detail with regard to the locations of rivers and place names along the entire coast. European exploration is depicted throughout the map, but especially so with the delineation of the Cuama ( Zambezi) River in the northern portion of Benamataxa.

In 1740 while England was at war with Spain, Anson set sail in a squadron composed of eight ships and 1,854 men with the intent to attack Spanish possessions and interest along the Pacific coast of South America. Unfortunately for Anson, by the time he reached Juan Fernandes, his squadron had been reduced to only three ships and 335 men. After recuperating on land, he set sail across the Pacific in search of one of the Spanish galleons filled with riches from trade between Mexico and the Philippines. On June 20, 1743, his voyage was graced with success as he managed to seize the Nuestra Senora de Cabadonga off Cape Espiritu Santo in the Philippines. Anson then concluded his voyage by sailing through the Indian Ocean around southern Africa and northwards up the Atlantic back to England. The voyage that began in 1740 with 1,854 men concluded in 1744 with only 188 men.
