This is Vincenzo Coronelli's striking 1688 two-sheet map of North America - one of the largest and most influential atlas maps to appear in the late 17th century. It emerged as much of North America had yet to be penetrated or was in the earliest stages of exploration and colonization - a true golden land of possibility. There is much of interest, including being among the first maps to embrace the cartography of Don Diego Peñalosa in New Mexico, a bold embrace of the Insular California trope, recognition of the Danish explorations of Jens Munk, an early usage of the term Chicago (Chekagou), and an interesting mapping of the apocryphal Lake May, the great inland sea of the southeast.

This is the important 1777 Georges Le Rouge French edition of the seminal John Mitchell map of the eastern part of North America. The Mitchell map is considered the single most important map in 18th-century American history.

The map is all the more astounding because this is Mitchell's one and only map - a truly remarkable feat of virtuosity. (more details)

An extraordinary first-edition third-state example of William J. Keeler's seminal 1867 map of the Trans-Mississippi West - considered the finest post-Civil War railroad era map of the West. The map is noteworthy for its meticulous mapping of mineral deposits and the often overlapping evolution of the American Indian Reservation System. Significantly, this is the finest example of this important map we have seen. Most examples of this map, because it was mounted on linen on a single sheet rather than dissected, typically exhibit significant wear and condition issues. The present example, likely opened only a few times in its long life, exhibits an exceptional state of preservation. (more details)

An example of Henry Schenk Tanner's 1825 landmark map of North America, considered to be the most important 19th-century map of North America. Revolutionary in countless ways, this is the most accurate map of North America the world of 1825 had yet seen, particularly the little-understood western parts. The task before Tanner in assembling this map, piecing together the cartography of an unknown country from piecemeal, often unreliable reports, was monumental. Tanner draws on Aaron Arrowsmith, Lewis and Clark, Alexander von Humboldt, Zebulon Pike, Stephen Harriman Long, Daniel Williams Harmon, George Vancouver, and others. (more details)

It is one of the few general maps to illustrate the early districtization of the Louisiana Territory. (more details)

It is a powerful visual critique of capitalism, class inequality, and superficial reform. (more details)

This manuscript unites two important episodes in Anglo-American Civil War diplomacy: the resolution of the Trent Affair and the confrontation between General Butler and British acting consul George Coppell.

This is a rare 1821 C. F. Weiland map of the United States, including the ephemeral Mexican state of Texas. The map is graphically suggestive of either an independent Texas or a Texas as part of the United States, thus presaging the Texan Revolution, the borders claimed by the Republic of Texas, and the Mexican-American War. It illustrates Texas's brief period of semi-provincehood following Mexican Independence but before the 1824 ratification of the Mexican Constitution, which merged Texas with Coahuila. This is thus one of the first maps, if not the first, to present a modern, recognizable Texas. This is also one of the few maps to name the ephemeral Bonapartist colony of Champ d'Asile (Champ d'Asyle; 1818 - 1819), located in South Texas on the Trinity River. (more details)
