Añadir al carritoFolio (13½" X 17", folds down to 3¼" X 8½"), housed in 8vo stiff green pictorial folder (cover title: "Map of New York"). Map very good, folder near fine. 1" edge tear near the center of the top edge, along one of the fold lines (neatly, archivally closed on verso); original, as-issued folds present but otherwise not weakened. T…his delightful, cartoonish map is printed in black on a thin, translucent onion-skin paper, and depicts a small area of Manhattan. Cartouche (in shape of a hip flask!) at lower right bears title cited above (along with "April 30th 7 P.M. / Make your reservations now / no tickets sold at the door"). Within this roughly-rectangular shaped decorative border runs the following (one line to each side): "FOR ITS ALWAYS FAIR WEATHER / WHEN GOOD FELLOWS GET TOGETHER / WITH A STEIN ON THE TABLE / AND A GOOD SONG RINGING CLEAR." Above this border, along the top edge, runs the caption in mock Colonial style: "Plates Respektfully & Mechanickally ENGRAV'D by Ye HAGOPIAN PHOTO ENGRAVING CO., Inc., Artisans of Greate SKILL, Expressly for Ye Occasion, and for ye PLEASURE of Master WHITEHEAD in Especiall." Below this border, along the bottom edge, runs another mock Colonial caption: "Printed & Bound with CARE by Ye Craftsmen yclept: Advertising Agencies' Service Co., And PRESENTED Gratis, albeit with GOOD GRACE, to Ye MOST WORSHIPPFULL Company of Ye ART Directors." The map itself shows the several block radius around the intersection of Broadway and 30th Street, with a number of buildings (Hofbrau, Lipsitz Bros. Cloaks & Suits, Daly's Theatre, John L's Place, etc.) depicted rather three-dimensionally. A Chinaman puffs a pipe atop a chop suey restaurant, a horse-drawn carriage rolls down a street, two cats face off atop a building and other bits of activity take place throughout. Commercial artist Walter Whitehead was born in 1874, and died in 1956, which helps date this undated piece -- presumably to later in his life, perhaps his retirement. The Art Directors Club was founded in 1920 "for the progress of art in advertising and industry" (according to their 1921 exhibition catalogue) and both Otto Rebele and Whitehead were among its founding members. About Rebele little is known. He was born around 1878 and was both commercial artist and book illustrator. This scarce and delicate map is a rare survivor, obviously printed in a small quantity for distribution to the membership of this specialized trade association.

Añadir al carritoOne large oblong atlas folio pictorial map sized 29.5 x 22 in., beautiful original lithograph cover, very minor dustsoiling, and slight creasing to fore-edges, a NF copy. First edition of this splendid pictorial map featuring pictograph cartoons reminiscent of John Held's Jazz Age artwork, as well as Ruth Taylor White, and her s…ister Della Taylor Hoss. The Alaska Line which had benefited from a near monopoly of passenger and freight service to Alaska after the Merchant Marine Act of 1920 brags about their accommodations, service, easy access and tours to many scenic areas in and around "America's last frontier." Later printings have an altered colour scheme from this one featuring Alaska in gold, and the Yukon and British Columbia, Canada in pink. Camy (1904-1958) was a California artist, and illustrator who specialized in commercial graphic advertising for Dole Pineapple, Signal Gasoline, and the Alaska Line. He produced very few pictographic maps.

Añadir al carritoDouble-sheet engraved copperplate map, 63.2 x 44.8 cm; 75 x 57 cms (sheet including platemark), central fold, the sheet toned at the edges and central fold, a couple of minor spots and edge wear, but in very good condition. An exquisitely engraved map with fine detail of the route taken by George Macartney on the first official…British embassy to China 1792-1794, undertaken with the aim of gaining trade concessions from the Chinese Emperor and published in George Staunton's officall account. While the official purpose was not successful, much was learned about China and the Chinese as is evident from this map with its explanatory texts. To the west of Pekin, just below the starting point at Zhe-hol (Jehol) which is situated at the top of this map, the commentary reads: "A great part of the country around Pekin is employed in the production of culinary vegetables and a variety of fruits." At the lower edge of the map, just north of the ending point of Hangzhou is the lake Tai Hoo: "The western side of the Tai-hoo is bounded by a very romantic and fertile country whose mountains are clutivated to their very tops. A great part of the province of Tche-tchiang appears to be cultivated with Mulberry trees for the food of the Silk worms." Cities of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd orders, "considerable towns" and villages are marked, along with "Halting places" etc. Fascinating Western documentation of the area around the Imperial Canal of the late Eighteenth Century.
