This rare, separately issued map of the Russian Empire was printed by Renier and Josua Ottens c. 1730, but the map is based on the work of Philipp Johann von Strahlenberg. It is that mapmaker's first map of Russia and Siberia, stolen from him in 1715. Strahlenberg (1677 - 1747) would rebound to produce his superb 1730 Tattariae Magnae, one of the largest, most groundbreaking, and unique maps of Russia to appear in the first half of the 18th century. This beautiful engraving represents the first complete expression of Strahlenberg's efforts at his seminal mapping of Siberia and the Russian Arctic. (more details)

This is Joly Lindgren's 1940 pictorial map of the Grand Coulee Dam on the Columbia River, Washington. This is a scarce silkscreened example. It is the second of Lindgren's two maps of the Grand Coulee Dam. That Lindgren reissued this map in 1940 is no mistake, for it was that year when the dam began operating and generating electricity, transforming not only the physical landscape but also the economic outlook of the entire region. Lindgren hints at this optimism in his humor, 'To the south lies the Columbia Basin 1,200,000 thirsty acres with a faith in the future'. (more details)
