A close look at the work of a series of Venetian armchair travelers (editors, mapmakers, and designers of costume books) reveals the profound anxieties these authors expressed about Venice's changing status in early modern Europe. Once an unassailable maritime and territorial empire, the lagoon city was increasingly eclipsed in the sixteenth century, economically and culturally, by the Ottomans and other emerging European powers. In response, Venetian writers employed the cultural strategy of using images of the New World to assert the importance of the Venetian past. Such images served to assuage their insecurities and shore up images of Venetian superiority.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eLittle is known about Giulio Ballino, Italian humanist and scholar who compiled the work and wrote the text. He was an associate of Paolo Manuzio (1512-1574), who mentions him in correspondence in the 1560s as working for him in various capacities, including corrector and editor. Ballino's literary activity was primarily as a popularizer, translating many Greek philosophical and theological works into Italian. Printer and publisher Bolognino Zaltieri used the plates of several different engravers throughout the book, such as plans by Paolo Forlani (active 1560-1577) and Domenico Zenoi (active 1560-1580).\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rare Maps of Texas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":33930526720139,"sku":"102280","price":5995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0389\/6416\/6795\/products\/mexicocity_1.jpg?v=1630691621"},{"product_id":"the-cities-of-mons-arras-braun-hogenberg-1572","title":"Montes, Hannoniae Metropolis; Atrebatum, Episcopalis et Metropolitica Artesiae Civitas: Braun \u0026 Hogenberg 1572","description":"\u003cul itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTitle: \u003c\/strong\u003eMontes, Hannoniae Metropolis; Atrebatum, Episcopalis et Metropolitica Artesiae Civitas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eBraun \u0026amp; Hogenberg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e1572\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedium:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eHand-colored copperplate engraving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Very \u003c\/span\u003eGood - age toning, issued center fold, tide mark in upper left corner, contemporary annotation at lower right\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInches:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e19 x 12 1\/4 [Image]\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentimeters:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e48.72 x 31.41 [Image]\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct ID: \u003c\/strong\u003e002883\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Mons, City of Hainaut; Arras, Bishopric and Metropolitan City of Artesia\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrom \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eCivitates Orbis Terrarum\u003c\/em\u003e, (\u003cspan\u003e1572-1622),\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003ea \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ecollective work engraved by Hogenberg and edited by Braun which contained 542 birds-eye views of cities around the world.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePreviously under Spanish Hapsburg control, Mons, Belgium was seized on May 23, 1572 by Louis of Nassau, younger brother of William of Orange.

The city had recently emerged from its \"Free State of Galveston\" era, a time when gambling and vice industries flourished until a crackdown in the late 1950s brought them to an end. As a result, Galveston faced economic challenges and worked to redefine itself, with the East End witnessing both decline and the seeds of revitalization.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThroughout the 1960s, there was a growing awareness of the need to preserve Galveston’s unique architectural heritage, especially in the East End. Residents became increasingly concerned about the demolition of historic structures, which led to the beginning of the city’s preservation movement. This decade also saw changes in local government, with Galveston adopting the council-manager system in 1961, aiming to bring more professionalism and efficiency to city administration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eEconomically, the city shifted its focus toward tourism, the seafood industry, and industrial development, as well as expanding its educational institutions. The University of Texas Medical Branch continued to grow, and new colleges were established, further shaping the community. Natural disasters such as Hurricane Carla in 1961 had a significant impact, causing damage and prompting improvements in infrastructure and disaster preparedness. Overall, the east part of Galveston in the 1960s was a place of both historical significance and transformation, balancing preservation with the need to adapt to changing times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBackground on Creator\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eGus F.

Interestingly, the Washington Monument was not completed until 1884 - it sat unfinished between 1854 and 1877 due to lack of funds and the outbreak of the Civil War. When the project did eventually restart, the builders used a different type of marble, resulting in a noticeable line about a third of the way up the obelisk that indicates its formerly-incomplete state. Johnson's map, published well before the monument's completion, pictures the original construction plan designed by Robert Mills which included a colonnade wrapping around the obelisk's base.

From an early age, Nicolas showed a keen interest in maps and geography, and he soon became an expert in these fields. Throughout his career, Nicolas de Fer produced a vast number of maps and atlases, many of which were highly regarded for their accuracy and beauty.

Today, his maps are highly sought after by collectors and are considered some of the most beautiful examples of French cartography from the early modern period.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Antiquarium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":34139697741963,"sku":"002089","price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0389\/6416\/6795\/products\/DSC_0793.jpg?v=1597442808"},{"product_id":"glasgow-weller-c-1861","title":"Glasgow: Weller c.1860","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e Weller\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDate:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e 1860\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMedium:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e Lithograph\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCondition:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e Very Good +\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eInches:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e 18.75 x 13.25 [Paper]\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCentimeters:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e 47.6 x 33.7 [Paper]\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eProduct ID: 100737\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFull Title: Glasgow\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Antiquarium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":34139699085451,"sku":"100737","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0389\/6416\/6795\/products\/DSC_0784.jpg?v=1597443132"},{"product_id":"goa-merian-1646","title":"Goa: Merian 1646","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e Matthäus Merian\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDate:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e 1646\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMedium:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e Copperplate engraving\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCondition:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e Very Good +\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eInches:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e 15 x 12.5 [Paper]\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCentimeters:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e 38.1 x 31.8 [Paper]\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eProduct ID: \u003c\/b\u003e100743\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandsome birds-eye view of Goa in India by Matthaus Merian the Elder showing the city at the beginning of the 17th century.

Cram (1842-1928) got his start in cartography following the Civil War when he moved to Evanston, Illinois to clerk for his uncle, a merchant by the name of Rufus Blanchard. Prior to the war, Blanchard had found success selling globes, maps, and books along the east coast until postwar disruption drove him west. Cram had served in the Union Army during the war and supposedly carried out cartographic duties for none other than Ulysses S. Grant. Cram and Blanchard eventually became business partners, founding Blanchard \u0026amp; Cram in 1867. Two years later, Cram would take over the firm in its entirety, moving it to nearby Chicago and rebranding as the George F. Cram Company. Cram also altered his business model, becoming a supplier for traveling book salesmen. However, after the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 destroyed the business, Cram started anew as the Cram Map Depot and returned to selling maps and atlases as he had while in business with Blanchard.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom 1875 onwards, the Cram Map Depot produced numerous atlases and railroad maps of the United States, as well as atlases of Europe documenting the First World War.

In 1920, Cram finally retired at the age of 79, selling the business to E.A. Peterson’s National Map Company.

Cram (1842-1928) got his start in cartography following the Civil War when he moved to Evanston, Illinois to clerk for his uncle, a merchant by the name of Rufus Blanchard. Prior to the war, Blanchard had found success selling globes, maps, and books along the east coast until postwar disruption drove him west. Cram had served in the Union Army during the war and supposedly carried out cartographic duties for none other than Ulysses S. Grant. Cram and Blanchard eventually became business partners, founding Blanchard \u0026amp; Cram in 1867. Two years later, Cram would take over the firm in its entirety, moving it to nearby Chicago and rebranding as the George F. Cram Company. Cram also altered his business model, becoming a supplier for traveling book salesmen. However, after the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 destroyed the business, Cram started anew as the Cram Map Depot and returned to selling maps and atlases as he had while in business with Blanchard.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrom 1875 onwards, the Cram Map Depot produced numerous atlases and railroad maps of the United States, as well as atlases of Europe documenting the First World War.

The print was published in 1885 to publicize the World's Industrial and Cotton Centennial Exposition. The view of New Orleans shows the bend in the river with ships and steamboats. Many boats can be seen on Lake Pontchartrain is in the background, and the lower margin contains over forty names of buildings and areas. Named buildings and locations include City Hall, Lafayette Square, several in the French Quarter, and others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Industrial and Cotton Centennial Exposition, held on the centennial of the first known export of cotton from the United States to Great Britain, offered New Orleans a chance to demonstrate to the world how Reconstruction had revitalized its businesses and infrastructure. In a fascinating turn of events, the Exposition failed financially but succeeded culturally, accelerating urbanization and ushering in a more modern and vibrant New Orleans. Shortly after the expo, Tulane University relocated uptown, attracting a well-educated and wealthy demographic to the area; Loyola University would do the same in 1910. Additionally, in the 1890s the city built a modern water purification system, while steel framed construction followed shortly after, forever changing the city’s skyline. This view captures the city as it appeared in 1885, immediately prior to this era of rapid growth and urbanization.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCurrier and Ives\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCurrier \u0026amp; Ives lithographs ranked among the most popular wall hangings in nineteenth-century America. The prints of Nathaniel Currier and James Merritt Ives, which typically depict the history and customs of the American people, also provide valuable historical records of a time when news photography was still unknown. After undertaking apprenticeships in Boston and Philadelphia, Currier set up a print publishing company in New York City in 1834. He hired Ives as his bookkeeper in 1852 and made him a partner in 1857, creating the firm of Currier \u0026amp; Ives. The company lasted until 1907, eventually passing into the hands of the two men's sons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn an era before photojournalism, Currier met the public’s demand for graphic representation of recent events. In 1835, he printed a lithograph, \u003cem\u003eThe Ruins of the Merchants’ Exchange\u003c\/em\u003e, four days after the building burned; in 1840, three days after the event, he issued a colored print of a steamship burning on Long Island Sound. In partnership with Ives, who had a flair for gauging popular interests, he expanded his range from depictions of disasters to political satire and other topical subjects. The company also branched into dramatic or slightly sentimentalized scenes such as steamboat races, boxing matches, sleigh rides in the country, and fashionable soirees. Touting itself as “Publishers of Cheap and Popular Pictures,” the firm sold prints ranging in price from 5 cents to $3, depending on the size. The firm sold retail as well as wholesale, establishing outlets in cities across the country and in London. Between 1840 and 1890, Currier \u0026amp; Ives published more than 7,000 prints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile never purporting artistic greatness, Currier \u0026amp; Ives insisted on fine craftmanship and the best lithographic materials. Most designs were created by house staff, while others were commissioned from young artists such as Louis Maurer, Thomas Worth, and Arthur Fitzwilliam Tait. As the firm was not equipped for chromolithography, prints were hand-colored by a dozen or more women in assembly-line fashion, one color to a worker. The colors favored were clear and simple, and the drawing was bold and direct. Though their methodology was ultimately rendered obsolete by automation and the photograph, Currier \u0026amp; Ives prints became valuable records of the politics, history, and manners of nineteenth-century America.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe World's Industrial and Cotton Centennial Exposition \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe exposition was conceived to promote New Orleans and mark the 100th anniversary of the nation's cotton industry. The city's first world's fair opened in what is now Audubon Park on Dec. 16, 1884. In late 1882, the National Cotton Planters Association proposed a centennial exposition commemorating the 100th anniversary of the nation's cotton industry. Local papers quickly proposed New Orleans as the ideal site for the event. It wasn't until September, 1884 that bids were put out for vendors for the event, which opened two weeks late. Some exhibits weren't completed until long after the exposition had opened.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe city was \"decorated as she never was before\" on December 16, 1884, opening day at the exposition, the newspaper noted. The Cotton Centennial Exposition's largest building was also the largest building in the country in 1884. It covered thirty-three acres and was constructed in about six months. The Horticultural Hall, the largest greenhouse in the world, numbered among many notable buildings constructed for the event; it was the only one to remain in use after the fair, but was destroyed in a 1915 hurricane.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy the time it concluded in May 1885, the expo had attracted more than 1 million visitors, including an estimated 36,000 the week of Mardi Gras. Still, it closed deeply in debt, and today none of the buildings remain at the park. In May 1885, Edward Burke, the former director general of the expo, was indicted for forgery and fraud allegedly committed while he was the state treasurer. The fair ended deep in the red, and Burke fled the country.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Antiquarium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":34476324552843,"sku":"311014","price":15000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0389\/6416\/6795\/products\/NewOrleans.png?v=1611344467"},{"product_id":"ierusalem-et-suburbia","title":"Ierusalem et suburbia: Van Adrichom 1584 [1682]","description":"\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTitle:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Ierusalem et suburbia\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eChristian v\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ean Adrichom\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDate:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e 1584 [1682]\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMedium: \u003c\/b\u003eCopperplate engraving\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCondition:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e A crisp and dark impression on four sheets joined as published, on thin paper.
