Beschreibung

Very scarce small wall map of Europe with views of 10 European cities along the sides and 13 maritime flags of European nations along the bottom. Original linen backing and rods. Very good condition, though age-toned. Light horizontal cracking. Full color by country in Europe, outline color in Turkey and Africa. The flags are fully colored. Views are uncolored. A very rare map, published by Davenport from a map which had been copyrighted in 1830 by John W. Barber in Connecticut. Davenport is largely connected with a popular Gazetteer of the United States published in 1833. We know of no other maps which he published. It is also among the very few 19th century maps published in Delaware which did not specifically deal with that state. The small city views at the side are of: London, Rome, Paris, Madrid, Lisbon, St. Petersburg, Amsterdam, Berlin, Vienna and Constantinople. Each has 4 lines of descriptive text below. Not in OCLC. The 1830 map by Barber is OCLC 27032946 (1 loc., Connecticut Historical Society). Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers m01944
