Lot 2212
Moll and Others: Assorted Maps. Lot of eight quarto or oblong quarto maps.
Four maps by cartographer Herman Moll, dating to 1732 and 1727. Denmark is represented twice, once from each date; Sweden and Norway appear together on a map from 1732; and Northwest Germany is dated 1732. All of the maps have an old ink notation in the cartouche of the date of publication. Delicate color. Toning, some tape residue verso, other small flaws. Generally good to very good condition.
An uncolored map of Sweden and Norway from American cartographer S. Walker of Boston is in very good condition. The map was engraved by R. Campbell of Phildelphia in 1832.
A November 1, 1819, mail map of England is in very good condition. The delicate colors accent the map which highlights the great commercial centers of England. A nice piece relating to the beginnings of the incredible growth England experienced in the mid eighteenth century.
"Turky in Europe and Hungary" is presented in a style reminiscent of Kitchin's but carries no attribution or printer. Minor toning, as with all the others, mounting tape residue verso, but generally very good condition.
"Pannonien Mösien, Dacien und Illyricum" is a German map, presumably from an atlas or text book, as it carries the notation "Welthist. Theil XII" in the upper right corner. This detailed map shows the mountain ranges and other natural features of this wild land. Minor foxing and toning throughout. Good condition.
Estimated Value $400 - 500.
