Description:
Paris: H. Jaillot, 1695. VG, heavy paper, hand colored, decorative cartouche, inset of southern mediterranean / Algerian coast. A striking image, after Sanson and copied by several later cartographers. The above date is approximate, although clearly printed with the 5 scales indicated on the map.. Some browning and chipping of lower margin, not crossing neatline and easily covered by matting. This depicts the Ottoman (Turkish) Empire at the time, with its reaches through Asia, Europe and Africa. Includes environs of Mediterranean, Black, Red and Caspian Seas, with the "Golfe D'Ormus" at the western edge of the map. Includes details of Mediterranean with Cyprus, Rhodes, Candie, Sicily, Sardinia and Corsica, and much more. This is a very uncommon map, with the image measuring 18x25 inches (centerfold as issued)..

Wien (Vienna), 1819. Remarkable, and uncommon complete 8 map folio set pertaining to the Napoleonic campaigns in Germany and Switzerland in 1799 (Second Coalition was formed in 1798, and included Russia, Great Britain, Austria, the kingdom of Naples, and the Ottoman Empire). The 8, loose (as issued) folding sheets are mostly b&w engravings, with some color coding for troop positions and German text of other details on some plates. They are carefully excecuted, all near fine or better on thick laid paper, with exceptional topographical detail. Each images measures approximately 17x22.5 inches (43x57cm). The date is taken from online KVK listings, but is not on the folio. There are roughly 4 copies listed online at that site, including the British Library. This is complete, both in terms of online collations of maps, and the original boards (17x11.5 inches) with the original pasted plate list and title. The string ties are only stubs, and the hinges are separating, but the maps were never bound in, and are loose as indicated. There is a Bloomfield bookplate insde the rear cover. The individual map sheets are: Allgemeine Ubersichtskarte, Gefecht bei Feldkirch, Gefecht bei Taufers, Treffen bei Osterach, Schlacht bei Stockach, Erste Schlacht bei Zurich, Angriff auf Mannheim, Zweite Schlacht be Zurich. Each map has a custom oblong rectangular label pasted verso. This is quite an impressive set military maps of these particular Napoleonic campaigns..

Description:
Braun & Hogenberg, 1598. Near fine, early color, latin edition (applicable text verso). Very decorative town plan of Toledo, Spain from this edition of the famous city atlas. Cherubim, palace, temple all present as separate images. These plans are well-known to collectors, and this particular item is increasingly uncommon. The full atlas was published in 6 volumes, in various editions, from 1572-1617. It was a collaborative work between many artists, engravers and cartographers (for a nice discussion of the history of this atlas, see Goss's THE MAPMAKERS ART, pp. 260-5). The map image measures 12.75x20 inches..

Augsburg: Seutter, 1740. VG+, copperplate engraving with original hand coloring (color similar to Homann, with whom Seutter apprenticed before going out on his own in about 1707). There is minimal right marginal soling, but the image and color are exceptionally bright. Decorative cartouche, as usual, probably an allegorical representation of imperial Russia. The map measures 19.25x22.5 inches. .
