A most unusual 1854 Bornet chromolithograph bird's-eye view of the Verrazzano Narrows and New York City harbor. In addition to illustrating the Narrows, the view also depicts the site of the Staten Island Quarantine, a marine hospital used to house sick sailors before admitting them to New York Harbor. The hospital was controversial, resented by the Staten Island elite, whose mansions also appear here, leading to the Staten Island Quarantine War just four years after this view was issued. The war fully destroyed the Quarantine. (more details)

One of the greatest maps of Sicily, this is the 1826 Officio Topografico di Napoli wall map of Sicily compiled from surveys undertaken by William Henry Smyth, a British Royal Navy hydrographer active during the Napoleonic Wars (1803 - 1815). The Smyth surveys were expanded and refined by the Officio Topografico to accommodate administrative use under the newly established Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. At the time, Sicily was openly rebellious and generally dissatisfied with the incompetent administration of Naples. This piece represents a revolution in the cartographic representation of Sicily, surpassing in content and precision the 1779 Orcel / Schmettau map, considered for nearly 50 years the premier map of Sicily.
