The Scottish Crown acquired Falkland Castle from MacDuff of Fife in the 14th century. In 1402 Robert Stewart, 1st Duke of Albany imprisoned his nephew David Stewart, Duke of Rothesay, the eldest son of King \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Robert_III_of_Scotland\"\u003eRobert III of Scotland\u003c\/a\u003e, at Falkland. The incarcerated Duke eventually died there from neglect and starvation. Albany was exonerated from blame by Parliament, but suspicions of foul play persisted, suspicions which never left Rothesay's younger brother the future James I of Scotland, and which would eventually lead to the downfall of the Albany Stewarts. John Debrett, writing in 1805, was in no doubt of Duke Robert's motives and guilt. This Robert, Duke of Albany, having obtained the entire government from his brother, King Robert, he caused the Duke of Rothesay to be murdered, thinking to bring the Crown into his own family; but to avoid the like fate, King Robert resolved to send his younger son James, to France, then about nine years old, who being sea-sick, and forced to land on the English coast ... was detained a captive in England eighteen years. At these misfortunes King Robert died of grief in 1406. Between 1501 and 1541 Kings James IV and James V of Scotland transformed the old castle into a beautiful royal palace: with Stirling Castle it was one of only two Renaissance palaces in Scotland. To address the poor state of the garden and park, James V appointed a new Captain and Keeper, William Barclay, Master of \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rhynd\"\u003eRhynd\u003c\/a\u003e, in March 1527. Ten years later, James V extended his father's buildings in French renaissance style. He died at Falkland in December 1542 after hearing that his wife had given birth to a daughter—Mary, Queen of Scots. Falkland became a popular retreat with all the Stewart monarchs. They practised falconry there and used the vast surrounding forests for hawking and for hunting deer. Wild boar, imported from France, were kept in the Park, within a fence made by the Laird of \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fernie_Castle\"\u003eFernie\u003c\/a\u003e. Nearby Myres Castle is the hereditary home of the Royal Macers and Sergeants at Arms who served Falkland Castle since at least the sixteenth century. John Scrimgeour of Myres supervised building at the Palace from 1532 to 1563. After the Union of the Crowns (1606), James VI and I, Charles I, and Charles II all visited Falkland. A fire partially destroyed the palace during its occupation by Cromwell's troops and it quickly fell into ruin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is an important and rare print as Slezer s \u003cem\u003eTheatrum Scotiae\u003c\/em\u003e is one of the earliest records of early Scottish towns \u0026amp; major buildings.

Claims of discovery date back to the 16th century, but no consensus exists on whether early explorers discovered the Falklands or other islands in the South Atlantic. The first recorded landing on the islands is attributed to English captain John Strong, who, en route to Peru\\'s and Chile\\'s littoral in 1690, discovered the Falkland Sound and noted the islands\\' water and game.\u003cbr\u003eThe Falklands remained uninhabited until the 1764 establishment of Port Louis on East Falkland by French captain Louis Antoine de Bougainville, and the 1766 foundation of Port Egmont on Saunders Island by British captain John MacBride. Whether or not the settlements were aware of each other\\'s existence is debated by historians. In 1766, France surrendered its claim on the Falklands to Spain, which renamed the French colony Puerto Soledad the following year. Problems began when Spain discovered and captured Port Egmont in 1770. War was narrowly avoided by its restitution to Britain in 1771.\u003cbr\u003eBoth the British and Spanish settlements coexisted in the archipelago until 1774, when Britain\\'s new economic and strategic considerations led it to voluntarily withdraw from the islands, leaving a plaque claiming the Falklands for King George III. Spain\\'s Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata became the only governmental presence in the territory. West Falkland was left abandoned, and Puerto Soledad became mostly a prison camp.Amid the British invasions of the Río de la Plata during the Napoleonic Wars in Europe, the islands\\' governor evacuated the archipelago in 1806; Spain\\'s remaining colonial garrison followed suit in 1811, except for gauchos and fishermen who remained voluntarily.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeneral Definitions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaper thickness and quality: - Heavy and stable\u003cbr\u003ePaper color : - off white\u003cbr\u003eAge of map color: -\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eColors used: -\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGeneral color appearance: -\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaper size: - 14in x 10in (355mm x 255mm)\u003cbr\u003ePlate size: - 12in x 8in (305mm x 205mm)\u003cbr\u003eMargins: - Min 1\/2in (12mm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImperfections:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMargins: - None\u003cbr\u003ePlate area: - None\u003cbr\u003eVerso: - None\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBackground:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOne of Antoine Francois Prevosts monumental undertakings was his history of exploration \u0026amp; discovery in 15 volumes titled\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eHistoire Générale des Voyages\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003ewritten between 1746-1759 and was extended to 20 volumes after his death by various authors.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 20 volumes cover the early explorations \u0026amp; discoveries on 3 continents: Africa (v. 1-5), Asia (v. 5-11), and America (v. 12-15) with material on the finding of the French, English, Dutch, and Portugese. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA number of notable cartographers and engravers contributed to the copper plate maps and views to the 20 volumes including Nicolas Bellin, Jan Schley, Chedel, Franc Aveline, Fessard, and many others.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe African volumes cover primarily coastal countries of West, Southern, and Eastern Africa, plus the Congo, Madagascar, Arabia and the Persian Gulf areas. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Asian volumes cover China, Korea, Tibet, Japan, Philippines, and countries bordering the Indian Ocean. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVolume 11 includes Australia and Antarctica. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVolumes 12-15 cover voyages and discoveries in America, including the East Indies, South, Central and North America.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVolumes 16-20 include supplement volumes \u0026amp; tables along with continuation of voyages and discoveries in Russia, Northern Europe, America, Asia \u0026amp; Australia.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jacques Nicholas Bellin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":11396493825,"sku":"35488","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1094\/9346\/products\/35488.jpg?v=1689657785"},{"product_id":"copy-of-1747-bellin-antique-map-of-the-falkland-maldives-islands-argentina-south-america","title":"1753 Bellin Antique Map of The Island of Cayenne French Guyana, South America","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTitle: Carte de L Isle De Caienne et de ses Environs...1753\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDate: 1753\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition : (A+) Fine Condition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRef: 92015\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize: 15in x 11in (390mm x 275mm)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDescription:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis fine, original copper-plate engraved antique map of the City Island of Cayenne in French Guyana, South America by Jacques Nicolas Bellin was engraved in 1753 - dated - and was published in Antoine François Prevosts 15 volumes of \u003ci\u003eHistoire Generale des Voyages\u003c\/i\u003e written by Prevost \u0026amp; other authors between 1746-1790.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCayenne\u003c\/b\u003e is the capital city of French Guiana, an overseas region and department of France located in South America.

Guyana is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the north, Brazil to the south and southwest, Suriname to the east and Venezuela to the west.\u003cbr\u003eThere are nine indigenous tribes residing in Guyana: the Wai Wai, Macushi, Patamona, Lokono, Kalina, Wapishana, Pemon, Akawaio and Warao. Historically the Lokono and Kalina tribes dominated Guyana. Although Christopher Columbus sighted Guyana during his third voyage (in 1498), and Sir Walter Raleigh wrote an account of its discovery in 1596, the Dutch were the first to establish colonies: Essequibo (1616), Berbice (1627), and Demerara (1752). After the British assumed control in 1796, the Dutch formally ceded the area in 1814.

It has water communications with the interior of Zhejiang to the south, is the southern terminus of the Grand Canal, and is linked to the network of canals and waterways that cover the Yangtze River (Chang Jiang) delta area to the north. The city stands at the eastern foot of a scenic range of hills, the Tianmu (“Eye of Heaven”) Mountains, and on the shore of the famous Xi (West) Lake, celebrated in poetry and paintings for its beauty and a favourite imperial retreat.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe county of Qiantang was first established at this site under the Qin dynasty (221–207 BCE) but did not start developing until the 4th and 5th centuries CE, when the Yangtze River delta area began to be settled. A prefecture named Hangzhou was created there in 589, during the Sui dynasty (581–618), which is the source of the city’s name. It became a major local centre with the completion of the Jiangnan Canal (then the southern section of the Grand Canal) in 609. During the Ten Kingdoms (Shiguo) period (907–960), Hangzhou was the capital of the state of Wu-Yue. In the later Song period (960–1279), northern China fell to the Jin (Juchen) dynasty (1115–1234); from 1127 the Song rulers were confined to southern China, and they made Hangzhou (then known as Lin’an) their capital. A centre of commerce, it was visited in the late 13th century by the Venetian traveler Marco Polo, who called it Kinsai, or Quinsay; it then had an estimated population of 1 million to 1.5 million.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAlthough it never again reached the peak of importance that it had achieved as capital of the Nan (Southern) Song, Hangzhou remained important. Under the Ming (1368–1644) and Qing (1644–1911\/12) dynasties, it was a superior prefecture, in addition to being the provincial capital of Zhejiang. It became immensely wealthy, being at the centre of a fertile rice-growing area as well as being the site of the most important silk industries in China. It also was famous as a centre of culture, producing numerous writers, painters, and poets. Its importance as a port dwindled, however, as Hangzhou Bay gradually silted up and as its outport, Ganpu, became useless.

Within Indonesia, only Sumatra, Borneo and Papua are larger in territory, and only Java and Sumatra have larger populations.\u003cbr\u003eStarting in the 13th century, access to prestige trade goods and to sources of iron started to alter long-standing cultural patterns and to permit ambitious individuals to build larger political units. It is not known why these two ingredients appeared together; one was perhaps the product of the other.\u003cbr\u003eIn 1367, several identified polities, located on the island, were mentioned in the Javanese manuscript Nagarakretagama dated from the Majapahit period. Canto 14 mentioned polities including Gowa, Makassar, Luwu and Banggai. It seems that by the 14th century, polities in the island were connected in an archipelagic maritime trading network, centered in the Majapahit port in East Java. By 1400, a number of nascent agricultural principalities had arisen in the western Cenrana valley, as well as on the south coast and on the west coast near modern Parepare.\u003cbr\u003eThe first Europeans to visit the island (which they believed to be an archipelago due to its contorted shape) were the Portuguese sailors Simão de Abreu, in 1523, and Gomes de Sequeira (among others) in 1525, sent from the Moluccas in search of gold, which the islands had the reputation of producing. A Portuguese base was installed in Makassar in the first decades of the 16th century, lasting until 1665, when it was taken by the Dutch. The Dutch had arrived in Sulawesi in 1605 and were quickly followed by the English, who established a factory in Makassar. From 1660, the Dutch were at war with Gowa, the major Makasar west coast power. In 1669, Admiral Speelman forced the ruler, Sultan Hasanuddin, to sign the Treaty of Bongaya, which handed control of trade to the Dutch East India Company. The Dutch were aided in their conquest by the Bugis warlord Arung Palakka, ruler of the Bugis kingdom of Bone. The Dutch built a fort at Ujung Pandang, while Arung Palakka became the regional overlord and Bone the dominant kingdom.

It is the second largest of the Ionian Islands and, including its small satellite islands, forms the north-westernmost part of Greece. The island is part of the Corfu regional unit, and is administered as a single municipality, which also includes the smaller islands of Ereikoussa, Mathraki and Othonoi. The municipality has an area of 610,9 km2, the island proper 592,8 km2. The principal city of the island and seat of the municipality (pop. 32,095) is also named Corfu. Corfu is home to the Ionian University.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe island is bound up with the history of Greece from the beginnings of Greek mythology. Its history is full of battles and conquests. Ancient Korkyra took part in the Battle of Sybota which was a catalyst for the Peloponnesian War, and, according to Thucydides, the largest naval battle between Greek city states until that time. Thucydides also reports that Korkyra was one of the three great naval powers of fifth century BC Greece, along with Athens and Corinth. Medieval castles punctuating strategic locations across the island are a legacy of struggles in the Middle Ages against invasions by pirates and the Ottomans. Two of these castles enclose its capital, which is the only city in Greece to be surrounded in such a way. As a result, Corfu\\'s capital has been officially declared a Kastropolis (castle city) by the Greek government. From medieval times and into the 17th century, the island, having successfully repulsed the Ottomans during several sieges, was recognised as a bulwark of the European States against the Ottoman Empire and became one of the most fortified places in Europe. The fortifications of the island were used by the Venetians to defend against Ottoman intrusion into the Adriatic. Corfu eventually fell under British rule following the Napoleonic Wars.

This region now is part of the Çanakkale province of Turkey. Bounded by the Dardanelles to the northwest, by the Aegean Sea to the west and separated from the rest of Anatolia by the massif that forms Mount Ida, the Troad is drained by two main rivers, the Scamander (Karamenderes) and the Simois, which join at the area containing the ruins of Troy. Grenikos, Kebren, Simoeis, Rhesos, Rhodios, Heptaporos and Aisepos were seven rivers of the Troad and the names of the river gods that inhabited each river.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTroy\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (Ancient Greek: Τροία, Troia or Τροίας, Troias, Truva or Troya) was a city in the far northwest of the region known in late Classical antiquity as Asia Minor, now known as Anatolia in modern Turkey, just south of the southwest mouth of the Dardanelles strait and northwest of Mount Ida. The present-day location is known as Hisarlik. It was the setting of the Trojan War described in the Greek Epic Cycle, in particular in the Iliad, one of the two epic poems attributed to Homer. Metrical evidence from the Iliad and the Odyssey suggests that the name λιον (Ilion) formerly began with a digamma: Ϝίλιον (Wilion); this is also supported by the Hittite name for what is thought to be the same city, Wilusa.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA new capital called Ilium (from Greek: λιον, Ilion) was founded on the site in the reign of the Roman Emperor Augustus.

These excavations revealed several cities built in succession. Schliemann was at first skeptical about the identification of Hisarlik with Troy, but was persuaded by Calvert and took over Calverts excavations on the eastern half of the Hisarlik site, which was on Calvert\\'s property. Troy VII has been identified with the city called Wilusa by the Hittites (the probable origin of the Greek λιον) and is generally (but not conclusively) identified with Homeric Troy.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eToday, the hill at Hisarlik has given its name to a small village near the ruins, which supports the tourist trade visiting the Troia archaeological site.

The map here shows the adapted Scamander estuary with Ilium a little way inland across the Homeric plain.

Braun (1541-1622), a cleric of Cologne, was the principal editor of the work, and was greatly assisted in his project by the close, and continued interest of Abraham Ortelius, whose Theatrum Orbis Terrarum of 1570 was, as a systematic and comprehensive collection of maps of uniform style, the first true atlas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a variety of reasons town plans were comparatively latecomers in the long history of cartography. Few cities in Europe in the middle ages had more than 20,00 inhabitants and even London in the late Elizabethan period had only 100-150,000 people which in itself was probably 10 times that of any other English city. The Nuremberg Chronicle in 1493 included one of the first town views of Jerusalem, thereafter, for most of the sixteenth century, German cartographers led the way in producing town plans in a modern sense. In 1544 Sebastian Munster issued in Basle his Cosmographia containing roughly sixty-six plans and views, some in the plan form, but many in the old panorama or birds eye view.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(Ref: Tooley; M\u0026amp;B)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition Report:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Paper thickness and quality: - Heavy and stable\u003cbr\u003e Paper color: - off white\u003cbr\u003e Age of map color: - Early\u003cbr\u003e Colors used: - Green, blue, red, yellow\u003cbr\u003e General color appearance: - Authentic\u003cbr\u003e Paper size: - 21in x 16in (535mm x 410mm)\u003cbr\u003e Plate size: - 16 1\/2in x 14in (420mm x 355mm)\u003cbr\u003e Margins: - Min 1in (25mm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImperfections:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Margins: - Light soiling in margins\u003cbr\u003e Plate area: - None\u003cbr\u003e Verso: - None\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Braun \u0026 Hogenberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":16379352961,"sku":"30261","price":375.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1094\/9346\/products\/30261.jpg?v=1689929014"},{"product_id":"1623-mercator-hondius-antique-map-of-morea-the-greek-peloponnesus-greece","title":"1623 Mercator Hondius Antique Map of Morea - the Greek Peloponnesus, Greece","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTitle\u003c\/strong\u003e : \u003cem\u003eMorea olim Piloponnesus\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRef #:\u003c\/strong\u003e  35489\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003e21 1\/2in x 17in (545mm x 430mm)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDate\u003c\/strong\u003e :\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e1623\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/classicalimages.myshopify.com\/pages\/condition-definitions\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e (A+) Fine Condition\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDescription:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThis beautifully hand coloured original antique map of Morea - the Greek Peloponnesus - was published in the 1623\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eof\u003cem\u003eMercators Atlas\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003epublished by Henricus Hondius and Jan Jansson.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThese maps, published in the later editions of Mercators atlas, are derived from the original maps drawn and engraved by Gerard Mercator in the mid to late 16th century, published by his son Rumold as an atlas, after his death, in 1595.

All of the maps show excellent and very up-to-date detail, providing fine verbal and graphic pictures of states and territories in the early 19th century (Ref: M\u0026amp;B; Tooley)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeneral Description:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Paper thickness and quality: - Heavy and stable\u003cbr\u003e Paper color: - white\u003cbr\u003e Age of map color: - Original\u003cbr\u003e Colors used: - Yellow, green, blue, pink\u003cbr\u003e General color appearance: - Authentic\u003cbr\u003e Paper size: - 27 1\/2in x\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e21 1\/2in (700mm x\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e545mm)\u003cbr\u003e Margins: - min.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e1in (25mm)\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eImperfections:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Margins: - Light age toning\u003cbr\u003e Plate area: \u003cspan\u003eLight age toning\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Verso: - \u003cspan\u003eLight age toning\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Carey \u0026 Lea","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":16439261697,"sku":"70038","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1094\/9346\/products\/70038_a92d3e22-8bc2-4183-abb5-23f04a8b15b1.jpg?v=1689922416"},{"product_id":"1888-picturesque-atlas-of-australia-large-antique-railway-map-of-queensland","title":"1888 Picturesque Atlas of Australia Large Antique Railway Map of Queensland","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTitle\u003c\/strong\u003e : \u003cem\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Verdana\" style=\"font-family: Verdana;\"\u003eRailway Postal \u0026amp; Telegraph Map of Queensland\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRef #:\u003c\/strong\u003e  50329\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003e34in x\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e26in (865mm x\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e660mm)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDate\u003c\/strong\u003e :\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e1888\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/classicalimages.myshopify.com\/pages\/condition-definitions\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e (A+) Fine Condition\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDescription:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003every large fine original antique lithograph layered coloured map of Queensland showing the extent of Railway and postal lines, was engraved in 1888 - the date is engraved in the title - with index page - by Alex J Scally\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e-\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ewas published in the extremely significant Australian \u0026amp; New Zealand publication\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Picturesque Atlas of Australasia\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003ebetween 1886-88\u003cem\u003e.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese maps were some of the best maps published at the time in the \"Modern\" look.

Most of the maps in this atlas come from Colton's 1859 edition of the General Atlas, published by Johnson and Browning, indicating the Johnson connection; some do not come from this atlas, and their sources are: the New England maps (scale 1\" = 9 miles) come from Colton's map of New England and then the sub-maps of Vermont and New Hampshire, Mass\/Conn\/R.I.; the Ohio\/Indiana is still a mystery; all the 1\" = 24 miles maps (Iowa, Kentucky, etc.) come from Colton's Map of the United States and the Canadas, originally published by J. Calvin Smith in 1843 (see W. Heckrotte's copies and his list of editions); and the Colton General Atlas maps used by Johnson come from Colton's Travellers Series of maps - see our copies of Penn., Indiana. Colton mentions \"The National Atlas of the United States, constructed from the Public Surveys..large Folio\" as in preparation in his 1855 catalogue; this may be the embryonic Johnson Atlas. Colton used his wall maps \"cut up\" for pocket maps and Atlases. Johnson's maps of S. America, Europe, Africa, and (in the first edition, first issue, only) China, East Indies etc., all come from D. Griffing Johnson's Map of the World, 1847. These atlas maps are updated (esp. Africa). Colton took over the publication of the World Map in 1849, issued editions to 1868 (Ristow p318). Also, Johnson's N. America map is the inset N. America in Smith's Map of the U.S., the Canadas, etc. This first issue of Johnson's Family Atlas differs from the later 1860 edition in a small N.Y. (from the Colton U.S. map), small Texas, and many of the maps have fewer views or no views or different configurations. Clearly, this was a first attempt that was refined later in the year. Another issue of this same edition was published in Richmond, Virginia, the home town of Browning (I.L.).
