Schedler, Joseph (sold)
Joseph Schedler (April 22 1813 - December 12, 1887) was a New York based engraver, printer, lithographer, and globe maker active from about 1850 to at least 1889. Schedler was born in Germany and immigrated to the United States, a Forty-Eighter fleeing the German Revolutions of 1848-1849. He was active from at least 1850 when he partnered with fellow German immigrant, the landscape artist, painter, and engraver, Theodore August Liebler (1830 – 18??), to found the lithography firm of Schedler and Liebler, 129 William Street. The firm completed engraving work for J. H. Colton as early as 1852 but probably dissolved by 1854. Schedler filed a patent in 1878 for a crystallotype machine, a device the employed electrotyping to print textured crystalline surfaces. He is best known today as a globe maker. Joseph Schedler's globes won prizes at the Paris International Exhibition in 1867, the American Institute Fair in 1869 and the Vienna International Exhibition in 1873. From at least 1876 records suggest he relocated to Jersey City, New Jersey. Schedler's son, Herman, was also a globe maker, and inherited his father's business sometime around 1877, producing globes will to about 1901.

This is Arnold Guyot's 1879 map of the Catskill Mountains. It is the only early map to focus specifically on the range, and the very first to accurately depict the region, and provide a useful tool for traveling it. The far-ranging Swiss geologist was an inveterate trekker, and his surveys of not only the Catskills but also the lion's share of the Appalachian mountain range were executed personally, on foot. His map provides the elevation above sea level for virtually every peak shown on the map. Prior to his surveys, misconceptions about the Catskills abounded. For example, 'High Peak' had been so named based upon the assumption that it was the highest in the range: Guyot's survey took him far deeper into the mountains than prior surveys, however, and his cataloguing of the less-accessible mountains ranks High Peak only twenty third. Guyot, as he did in his other maps of the Appalachians, resolved epidemic disagreements about place names by relying on the terminology used by the denizens of the region he was mapping - diverging from this discipline on rare occasions where clarity in language called for it (for example, swapping Round Top with High Peak to reflect the reality that Round Top was the higher of the two.)
