Description
Antwerp, 1590. No Binding. Very Good. Original and later color; some very slight restoration at margin, else excellent condition "One of the most important maps that appeared in the Ortelius atlases ..." (Burden). With its two splendid cartouches and a well-detailed illustration of Magellan's flagship, the Victoria, this is also one of the most beautifully engraved of Ortelius' maps. "Being one of Ortelius' most desirable maps combined with the fact that it was not issued in the atlas until 1590, it is not as available as the various versions of his map of America" (Burden). The map provided some of the best mapping of the West Coast of North America before the shroud of the California-as-an-island myth descended. Wagner says that the map's delineation of this area "constitutes a distinct departure; being unlike any other map . . . published before 1589." Thus, it has been surmised that this and other parts of the map were based on an unknown voyage. Burden 74; Koeman, I.C. Atlantes Neerlandici, III, p. 62; Wagner, H.

John Smith's landmark map, based on the first survey of the Chesapeake Bay. Curiously, the map is illustrated with images of a llama, goat, and unicorn, which were evidently considered by Europeans to be native to Virginia. In early ink, Maryland ("Terre-Mariae") was added to the title. Although the map itself is based on the Blaeu-Hondius engraving of the Smith map, all three cartouches on Ogilby-Montanus were newly added.

Description
np: np, 1932. First edition. nb. UNPUBLISHED CANDID PHOTOGRAPHS OF EINSTEIN AND LETTERS BY WILLIAM HUBBARD OFFERING AN INTIMATE VIEW OF THE SCIENTIST ON VACATION. On March 2, 1932, at the height of his career and world fame, Albert Einstein and his wife Elsa set off on a vacation to their German homeland, departing from Los Angeles on the M. S. San Francisco. Another passenger aboard the ship was the renowned music scholar, William Lines Hubbard. Famous in his own right, Hubbard was the music critic for the Chicago Tribune and author of a definitive 11-volume work on the history of opera (published 1908).  Accompanying Hubbard was his companion Julia Reid, their cabins adjacent to that of the Einstein's. As was the practice during this era, Hubbard kept detailed journals and letters of his travel experiences.  This collection, from the estate of Hubbard, contains the following items:
 1. Three unpublished small black-and-white and sepia photographs.  The first photograph (4.5" x 2.5") pictures Einstein, his wife Elsa, the Ship's Captain, Hubbard (the tall figure) and three other of the ship's passengers, dated 3/14/32.  The second photograph (3.5" x 3.25") is an outstanding full front image of Einstein, his wife Elsa, and the ship's Captain. The final photograph (4.5" x 2.5") is a full frontal image of Einstein and his wife Elsa both seated in deck chairs with the ship's Captain standing behind.
 2. Typed letter dated March 22, 1932, written while sailing through the South Atlantic. Six pages, typed front and back on two pieces (folded) of the ship's original stationary (approx. 7.5x11 in). Excerpts on Einstein include:

 Of our Six Passengers two are Prof. Einstein and wife. They are proving very delightful companions-- sincere, unaffected and jolly. At first they were very reserved and merely bowed and smiled and "Guten-Morgan-ed" when entering and leaving the dining room, but when they had become rested and saw that none of the rest of us planned to intrude, they came forward and have been very genial. She is a great talker but talks interestingly. He walks deck smoking his stubby black pipe or whistling cheerily, his gray hair blowing in the breeze. Each forenoon and sometimes in the afternoon he goes to the piano and plays for half hour or so. Plays in that satisfying manner peculiar to a man to whom music is a comfort and who thinks musically. It is in no wise brilliant playing but it is throughly enjoyable to hear. The rest of the time he sits in his steamer chair or in his cabin reading or thinking. On the 14th he had his 53rd birthday and the Capt had ordered from La Libertad, Salvador where we had taken cargo the day before, large bunches of easter and tiger lilies which in the morning were on the Einstein table together with a birthday cake the ship's cook had made, and countless cards and letters which friends had sent. It was all a complete surprise to them both and their happiness was childlike in its spontaneity and sincerity. It was heart warming to watch them. They seem to appreciate being left to themselves and not being lionized. It is the third time they have come through the canal on these boards an they enjoy it to the full.
 3. Typed letter dated April 1, 1932, written while entering the English Channel. Seven pages, on two (approx. 8.5x11in) sheets (folded) of the ship's original stationary.  Excerpts on Einstein include: 

We had good fun watching for crocodiles along the banks as we came up the cut and Prof Einstein was especially gleeful when he discovered one... Professor Einstein loves the roung [sic] weather and has reveled in it. He and the Mme are proving very delightful fellow passengers. She is very chatty but chats interestingly and he struts up and down deck smoking his stubby pipe or whistling like a jolly kid his white hair blowing in the breeze. We have some talks occasionally and he yesterday when he saw the copy of Living Philosophies which I had given me [sic] before I left San Diego and in which his article is the first, took the book and autographed his picture and wrote in remembrance of the happy days on board the San Francisco. I don't think I told you of his birthday which occurred on the 14 of March the day before we reached the Canal. The Capt came to know if it and when the Einsteins came to their table at breakfast they found it decorated with three huge vases of Easter and Tiger lilies which the Capt had secured in La Libertad. The cook had made a gorgeously decorated Torte-- one of the filled and frosted German cakes-- and there were letters and telegrams from friends which had been sent in the Capt's care. It was a complete surprise to the Einsteins and they were like two happy kiddies. It was gladdening to watch their simple and keen enjoyment. Later we had pieces of the Torte which were a bit of muchness for breakfast but which of course we ate... 
4. Typed letter dated April 24, 1932, written in Merano, Italy. Six pages on five (5.5x7in) sheets. 

While recalling a cargo transfer on the M. S. San Fransisco, Hubbard writes: The Einsteins were especially enthusiastic and we had a great fun over the boss of the unloading. He was a huge and tremendously rotund gent wearing a soft felt hat and a short overcoat the buttons of which seemed fated to "bust off" at any moment. His chief employment seemed to be running about from side to side of the dock, into the warehouse and out again, clambering onboard and then clambering off and all the time shouting orders at the top of his voice and gesticulating wildly. Einstein had been reading the "Living Philosophies" which I had loaned him and was especially curious concerning Mencken and how he happened to be included in the great ones in the book. I gave him an outline of Mr. M's greatness and assured him that the book cold [sic] well largely on account of M being included.  All of which amused the Einsteins greatly.  So when this wild boss hove into sight that morning and began his excited directing, Mrs E said "there is Mister Mencken" and thus he remained so long as we were in Rotterdam... The Einsteins were starting early the next morning for Berlin so they went about 9 pm to the custom house and had their 16 packages, bundles and gifts examined.  Frau Professor had a funny story to tell of their experience with the 150 pound bag of coffee that had been presented them in Salvador... 


5. An official passenger list from the M. S. San Francisco printed on the ship's original stationary (4.75" x 8.25"), dated March 2, 1932. With "Professor Albert Einstein" and "Mrs. Albert Einstein" shown under the list of cabin passengers going from Los Angeles to Bremen.


 6. A postcard depicting Hubbard's profile in black and white (3.45" x 5.45").

 All items in very good condition (letters with wear and soiling at folds) and housed in a custom cloth presentation folder. RARE FIRST-HAND TESTIMONY REVEALING THE PERSONALITY OF EINSTEIN IN RELAXED AND INFORMAL MOMENTS.

lvi+371 pages with two tables and diagrams. Royal octavo (9 3/4" x 6 1/2") bound in original publisher's red cloth with gilt decoration and lettering to spine and embossed chess board, pieces and lettering on cover. Edited with the assistance of the English Masters, Zukertort, Steinitz, Mason and Bird. Annotated by Zukertort, Steinitz, Mason and Bird. (Betts 25-16) (Van der Linde-Niemeijeriana 5216) First edition.The London 1883 chess tournament was a strong chess tournament among most of the leading players of the day. It was won convincingly by Johannes Zukertort (22 points out of 26) ahead of Wilhelm Steinitz (with 19 points). Remarkably, Zukertort was already assured of victory with three rounds to go, having scored an astonishing 22/23. He then lost his last three games against relatively weak players, probably due to exhaustion. The tournament established Zukertort as rivaling Steinitz to claim to be the best player in the world, and led to the World Chess Championship 1886 match between the two (the first official World Chess Championship match). The event was a double round-robin tournament. Marmaduke Wyvill contributed to organizing the tournament. The tournament was also notable for the first use of the double-sided chess clock, manufactured by T.B. Wilson of Manchester. A common story relates to an incident that occurred at the tournament banquet, when the St. George Chess Club President proposed a toast to the best chess player in the world and both Steinitz and Zukertort stood up at the same time to thank him. Research by Edward Winter suggests that this story has been embellished. The tournament book was dedicated to Prince Leopold, Duke of Albany, for his patronage of the tournament. Time limit: 15 moves per hour.Condition:Spine ends restored, corners bumped else a very good copy.

Description
New York: Harper & Brothers, 1850. First American Edition. Vol 1 with illustrated half-title, dedication; vol 2 with 1805 ownership inscription, illustrated half-title, and lists of other publications and reference texts. Both volumes bound in modern gray cloth, some minor spotting. Very good condition. First American edition of Cumming’s wildly successful and vivid narrative of his nomadic exploits in South Africa in search of wild game. Cumming was the first to venture into the interior of the Bamangwato country, paving the way for others to follow suit. In addition to his anecdotes of chasing lions, elephants, hippopotamus, giraffe, rhinoceros, and other large game, Cumming also describes the native landscape and tribes of the region, thus making this work an important contribution to the history of South Africa. Cumming (1820-1866) was a famed Scottish hunter of large stature and great strength who rightly earned the nickname “The Lion Hunter” from his experience described in this work. On his way to join the Madras Calvary for the East India Company, Cumming had his first encounter with the sport in South Africa. Proficient as a youth in salmon fishing and deer stalking, Cumming was not able to return to South Africa until 1843 to hone his skills as a big game hunter.

Description
12mo, publisher’s cloth backed boards, frontispiece, illustrated, 166 pp. Binding a bit worn and soiled, and what appears as remnant label on spine, early owner signature and inscription on endpapers, normal aging and some browning; otherwise very good, and a fairly tight copy. The present work appears to be a reworking of a journal published by Jewitt in Boston in 1807. At least two editions were published of this book in 1815, one in Connecticut and the present volume, which was published in New York. Despite the fact that this work was published in numerous editions, Alsop felt he didn’t really do Jewitt any real good, because he seemed to be reduced to a vagabond like existence marching around the country hawking his book (Field). According to Streeter Jewitt was the first white man to live with the Indians in Nootka Sound, and the work presents an excellent account of his adventures. Considered a very accurate portrayal of the tribes in this area, with much detailed information about their daily lives. Work contains a list of some words in the Nootkian language. Ayer 153.

New York: By the authors, 1852. Very good. Three documents, printed and partially filled in manuscript; approx. 6 x 12; illustrated with small engravings; a few small nicks to edges and mild age-toning; in very good condition. Abraham Bell (1778 - 1856) was born in a prominent Quaker family in Northern Ireland. Immigrating to New York in 1797, he co-founded Abraham Bell & Company with several partners, of which he would become the sole owner and which would be renamed Abraham Bell & Son in 1844. A shipping firm and commissions merchant, it imported and exported a variety of commodities, though it specialized in the export of Southern cotton to the British Isles. During the potato famine of the 1840s, Bell transported thousands of immigrants from Ireland. The three current bills addressed the shipping, via various vessels, of bales of cotton to Liverpool, rosin to Glasgow, and embroideries to Richmond.

Description
This one-page shareholder list measures approximately 5" x 8". It was printed on 28 May 1864 and mailed three days later to the "Assessors of Bridgewater, Massachusetts." It is franked with a 2-cent black Jackson stamp (Scott #73) which at the time was the pre-paid rate for sending printed materials. It bears a circular Boston/Paid postmark dated May 31. In nice shape.The Stewart Gold Mine was one of many mines to spring up in the Central City region of Colorado in wake of the Pike's Peak Gold Rush after paydirt was struck in Gregory Gulch in the late spring of 1859. By 1860, over 10,000 miners had descended upon Central City to mine the Gregory Lode and four other major veins that were subsequently found in the region: Bates, Gunnell, Kansas, and Burroughs.Most of the miners worked for companies, and in 1863, and after signing a resolution to form a "hard rock miner's union" rioted and began destroying property at the Bob Trail mine. Mining security responded and skirmished with the rioter throughout the night. By the following morning, the miners had lost heart, and the union effort folded.By 1900, the veins had been exhausted and the regional population had decreased to just over 3,000. Historically, the Steward Gold Mine was located within the region's Apex-North Gilpin Mining District which is now part of the Roosevelt National Forest. The mine has been closed for many years and there are no plans to reopen. (For more information, see "Stewart Gold Mine Near Central City, Colorado" at The Diggins and Wikipedia entries for "Gold Mining in Colorado" and "Central City, Colorado," all online.).
