This important expedition was made as part of a concerted effort by President Jefferson to explore the newly acquired territory west of the Mississippi.

Conducted through Santa Fé to Chihuahua, he was returned through Texas to Louisiana. All of Pike's papers were confiscated, but he managed to save his precious journals by secreting them amongst his men. When published in 1810, the narrative offered the first accurate description of the great Southwest. The maps were the first to exhibit a geographic knowledge of the Southwest based on first hand exploration and are considered "milestones in the mapping of the American West" (Wheat). Graff 3290.

Title: LOTT'S BRICK'S SERIES "B", BOX TWO. COUNTRY HOUSE, TOWER, COTTAGES, GARAGE, LIBRARY AND PARISH HALL
Author: (Architecture and Design)
Seller: Green Gate Farm Antiquarian Books (United States)
Description: Oxhey, Watford, England: Lott's Bricks, Ltd., 1911. A rare, complete set of English building blocksin the original box. "They are made of artificial stone; the solid substance, the heavy weight, and the clean squareness of each block combine to make admirable building material." Astonishingly, nothing is missing from this set, including the original brochures. The box contains the elements to construct six different structures: A country house, tower, cottages, garage, library and parish hall. In short, representatives of the most familiar buildings in an English village may be made. Anyone that has had the good fortune of wandering through the British country side will certainly appreciate the seriousness with which architectural form is taken in order to preserve the heritage of taste and simplicity. The makers of these sets, of which this is Series "B", Box Two, was dedicated to leading children to an understanding of "sound building lines." "The general effect is charming and picturesque to a degree, far beyond the general run of children's toys." The sets are widely known and collected in Britain. To find an example outside of the UK and in such fine state of preservation is delightfully elusive. For any devotee of the Arts and Crafts period of design, this set provides a most unusual treasure for architect and home owner alike. Please request postage quote..extremely heavy item!
