A propos de cet article

____Wagner-Camp=115.1_____ Howes3=F-372.1 _____Zamorano=39_____ Wheat=2.495____ Soliday=I.862 ____Graff=1436 ____Larned=410 ____Streeter/Sale=V-3131. _____ An unread copy, evidenced by a couple of unopened page pairs. _____ Collated and complete, with all 22 full page plates._____ A couple of the fossil and botany plates are bound in out of order, but that seems to have happened frequently with these government productions. _____ Includes all five maps: two full page, two fold-out and one in pocket. _____ That last is Charles Preuss' large (51 x 31.5") folding map in the rear pocket._____ . _____ "Map / of an / Exploring Expedition / to the / Rocky Mountains in the year 1842 / and to Oregon & North California in the Years 1843-44 / by / Brevet Capt. J.C. Fremont of the corps of Topographical Engineers /./ Profile of the Route from the Mouth of the Kansas to the Pacific by Capt. J.C. Fremont in 1843". _____ "This report and and the Fremont (Preuss) map which accompanied it, changed the entire picture of the West and made a lasting contribution to cartography. _____It was drawn by Charles Preuss, whose skill in sketching topography in the field and in representing it on the map has probably never been surpassed. ____[It] represented as important a step forward from the earlier western maps of the period as did those of Pike, Long, and Lewis and Clark in their day._____The Fremont map was carefully drawn, with its locations adequately checked by astronomical observations._____ And, for the first time upon a published map it showed the entire area west of the Mississippi as seen by a single party . almost uniformly it represented trustworthy direct observation, a new, welcome, and long overdue development in the myth-encrusted cartography of the West._____ To Fremont and his magnificent map of his Second Expedition all praise._____An altogether memorable document in the cartographic history of the West , and for it alone Fremont would deserve to be remembered in history._____This map marked not only the end but the beginning of an era" -- (Wheat II-495, p.195 & p.269). _____ The courses of lakes and rivers are hand-colored in blue._____The silk ribbon originally bound in and used to slide the map out is free and now just laid in._____The Preuss map has archival repairs to the rear._____ There are small pieces from a couple of interior fold corners. _____ The book has an 1848 non-authorial inscription on a blank preliminary._____The recipient has mounted his armorial bookplate to the front pastedown._____ ._____Below that is the clipped signature of one "J. Davis"._____ Presumably someone of note, but it is not Jefferson Davis. _____ There is darkening to the paper throughout, but no evident foxing to the plates. _____ There is a 2" stain to the upper foredge corner throughout. _____ The cover cloth is splitting at the hinges and is missing the bottom 1" of the spine. _____.…
