Ink on “JWhatman/1807” watermarked wove paper, 22½x27¾ inches sheet size; vertical fold at center, edges worn with small losses not affecting image.

In 1816 the British organized a diplomatic mission to China, led by Lord Amherst, aimed at redressing commercial relations. Upon arrival in Peking Amherst refused to prostrate himself before the Emperor who in turn declined to grant him an audience thus negating the objective of the ambassador’s mission. In early1817 the commission set off for their return journey but on February 18th the HMS Alceste ran aground of an unrecorded reef at the southern tip of Bangka Island. Although all made it to land, the ship was wrecked and lost. While the majority of crew stayed on the island awaiting later rescue, Amherst and the delegation were taken in the Alceste’s brig Lyra south to Batavia, under the command of the Alceste’s master, John Mayne. Upon their return to England, Mayne drew a chart of the wreck-site-to-Batavia leg of the voyage to accompany Henry Ellis’s “Journal of the Proceedings of the Late Embassy to China” published in 1817. In that printed account appears an engraved reduced version of the present hand-drawn map.

Viele’s famous “Water Map” showing the appearance of Manhattan’s natural streams, ponds and wetlands superimposed onto its developed metropolitan grid of the 1860s.

Aside from being one of the most attractive and fascinating 19th century maps of New York City to enjoy looking at, this is an important city planning document that is still consulted by engineers to this day. “A Viele map is pinned to the wall at many engineering firms, and it has aided in the construction of some of the city’s most famous buildings. John Kyle, who served as chief engineer at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey when the foundation of the World Trade Center was being laid, referred often to his copy of the Viele Map” (Steven Kurutz, “When There Was Water, Water Everywhere,” New York Times, June 11, 2006).

Massive chart referencing trade goods, raw materials, and other economic resources around the world, but with particular concentration on the naval strengths of Great Britain (vertical bar graph at left), Japan (center), and the United States (right); a focused intelligence chart by the Japanese Naval Department demonstrating the Empire’s vulnerability as compared to other world powers. The Washington Naval Treaty of 1922 limited the Allied nations of World War I from naval construction in the hopes of avoiding an international arms race; The London Naval Treaty of 1930 (two years after this map was published) sought to further increase regulations. Within several years Japan had officially renounced these sanctions with an eye towards major naval expansion, a clear concern and goal illustrated by this map, and an obvious indication that conflict was brewing.

Photographs Taken on a Big Game Hunt in the Soudan.

Np, 1914

Photographic title, map, and 114 albumen prints. Mostly 3½x4½ inches, mounted to album cards; gilt-blocked black calf portfolio, light wear; minor chipping to mounts, photographs fine.

Evocative catalog of early 20th-century African shooting exploitations by three “great white hunters” from New York, Henry Pomeroy Davison, John H. Prentice, and Daniel E. Pomeroy, on their month and a half long big game chase in Sudan along the White Nile River between Khartoum and Bor. The excursion was not solely for sport - the men were also there to take trophy specimens for the American Museum of Natural History, for which Davison served as treasurer. For their own recreation, and institutional posterity, the venture appears to have been quite successful.

About half the images are ethnographic, illustrating local landscapes, villages, people and customs; the other half display the trio’s conquests: crocodile, buffalo, antelope, hippopotamus, rhino, and elephant.

This trip is described in detail in Thomas W. Lamont’s “Henry P. Davison, The Record of a Useful Life”, 1933, pages 251-259; 334-367. A few excerpts here, for which the present collection of photographs serve as stark amplification:

“About 10 I decided to go out for hippo. At 11 I had a shot at one and missed him. In a few moments I had a shot at another as he raised his massive head to the surface of the water. As my bullet made no splash I knew I had hit him. He of course went down and there was nothing to do but await developments. True to the nature of the beast, he showed his back on the surface of the water just three hours later. We went out and towed him to shore. Such a beast, a monster. The natives, Dinkas, hovered about him like the ravishing dogs they are; and when the word was given, in they jumped with their knives and soon made the place look like a slaughter-house all fighting over each piece of meat and bone, the women standing by to divide the spoils. They welcome a shooting-party and gladly point out the game as it means meat to them”.

“One evening Harry wounded a fair-sized bull elephant, and next morning he and I, with two gun bearers apiece, started out to look for him. We saw no trace of the wounded bull, and Harry seemed very much disappointed, more so, I think, than I ever saw him. I climbed to the top of a big ant hill, looked over all the country with my glasses, and saw about two miles away, a huge, solitary, bull elephant. Even at that distance, I could see he had wonderful ivory. I told this to Harry and he was as pleased as a boy, for it was his shot. We went up to the elephant which was standing in a sort of marsh. As we approached him, he began to move off at right angles to us. Harry shot him four times, and seemed to be hurting him. He was then about a hundred yards off. Much to our surprise, he turned like a polo pony and came right at us on a gallop. His trunk and tusks were held high in the air, and it was the most handsome sight, as Harry said, either of us had ever seen. There was not even a bush between us and him, and the only thing to do was to kill him or turn him. Harry and I each gave him two barrels in the head, and did not reach his brain. But he did not seem to care for it, and he turned and moved off slowly. We followed him up, and after a few more shots he went down. I have never in my life seen a more delighted man than Harry Davison was when he saw what a wonderful trophy he had. The tusks, which weighed eighty-five pounds apiece, are now in his house at Peacock Point, and I think that there are few larger outside of museums”.

“In going up to the bodies of the three dead rhino, to our utter amazement and chagrin, we found that we had killed three white “square-nosed” rhino. They are protected. We had permission to shoot one for the American Museum of Natural History, but to kill three, even by accident so to speak, was indeed bad news. I was worried about the rhino and suggested taking them out by the Belgian Congo, as they were fine specimens. Harry said : “Don’t give it a thought, but let me do the talking when we get back to Khartum.” When we arrived at Khartum, Harry arranged the whole matter in half an hour with Sir Reginald Wingate, Sirdar of the Sudan. The big rhino was to be mounted whole for the American Museum, and Harry and I, by paying £100 apiece, took the other two heads as museum specimens”.

(boston.) fitz henry lane.
View in Boston Harbour. Respectfully Dedicated to the Tiger Boat Club, by Their Obdt. Servt. Thos. Moore.

Boston: Thomas Moore, circa 1837

Lithographed view of Boston centered on the State House dome with various marine vessels thronging the foreground harbor. “JWhatman/Turkey Mill” watermarked wove paper, 17½x23 inches sheet size, wide margins; mat stain and repairs, some into image.

“…View in Boston Harbour, the publication of which in 1837 marked a most radical transformation of Lane’s artwork. It is within this work that a host of new traits never before seen within his lithographic oeuvre appear; traits unmistakably identical to those featured within Robert Salmon’s compositions. Scalloped waves, the shifting horizontal strips of sunlight and shade falling across the water, vessels abruptly severed along the composition’s edge, unerringly accurate rigging and hull forms - this lithograph almost hums…” – James A. Craig, Fitz H. Lane: An Artist’s Voyage through Nineteenth-Century America, 2006.

Moore’s firm produced similar contemporary lithographs, themselves quite rare; however we trace only one example of this particular issue in market database records (Goodspeed, 1963), and one example in institutional holdings.

View Near the Falls of Schuylkill.
View on the Wisahiccon, Pennsylvania.

“John Wilmerding, the leading authority on Lane, regards this view, Castine from Hospital Island, as this widely acclaimed artist’s most accomplished work” (Reps, page 39).

“A lithograph of 1855 executed after sketches that he had made on his summer trips to Maine shows Castine from Hospital Island. The style is at last firm and fully controlled, and years of practice have produced a smooth pictorial scene characteristic of his best work. By this time he has noticeably lowered his horizon. The clouds, charged with mood and tangibility, are no longer a weak curtain drop in the background. The same sky and air uniformly fill all parts of the scene and draw the spectator directly into the view. Like most of the later lithographs, the Castine view is structurally simple, without the subtle complexities of Lane’s larger oils of the same period. The treatment of the water in a slightly heavier stroke, delicately highlighted, gives it coherence and substance. Small areas of sails and wooden planks in the foreground, now lighted without exaggeration, direct the eye to the important parts or objects of activity, while never denying or overdramatizing the view as a whole. The scale, too, is completely proportioned and the point of view is even” (John Wilmerding, Fitz Hugh Lane American Marine Painter, 1964, Page 44).
