Ormando Wyllis GrayLouisiana: A Framed 19th Century Map by O.W. Gray1873
1873
About the Item
This framed 19th century map of the Louisiana territory was published in "Gray's Atlas of the United States with General Maps of the World, accompanied by Descriptions Geographical, Historical, Scientific and Statistica" published in 1873 in Philadelphia by O.W. Gray and Son and Stedman, Brown and Lyon. It is a highly detailed map of Louisiana and adjacent portions of Mississippi to the east and Texas to the west, as the borders existed in the late 19th century. It includes portions of the Gulf of Mexico and towns and cities, such as New Orleans, Baton Rouge and Lafayette. Ormando Wyllis (O.W.) Gray (1829-1912) was a Civil and Topographical Engineer who became a cartographer and map atlas publisher.
The map is presented in a light brown distressed bleached wood frame with a cream mat. The frame measures 22.63" wide x 20" high x 0.88" deep. The map is somewhat toned, although the appearance appears in part to be related to its tinting. It is otherwise in very good condition.

- "February Bouquet" from 'The Twelve Months of Flowers' series by Robert FurberBy Robert FurberLocated in Alamo, CAThis framed hand-colored engraving entitled "February Bouquet" is from 'The Twelve Months of Flowers' by Henry Furber, published in London in 1730 by Robert Sayer and John King. Each of the twelve hand-colored engravings in the book were produced from paintings by Pieter Casteels (1684-1749) and engraved by Henry Fletcher (1710-1753). The book featured twelve detailed engravings of seasonal plants in bloom in the form of a bouquet. More than 400 different species of flowering plants were included with each plant numbered and accompanied by a list of the corresponding species names. Thirty-five species of flowers are depicted in this engraving in a bouquet sitting in an ornate attractive bowl. A few of the flowers lie loose on a table. The flower species are listed in a table in the lower portion of the plate, along with the month that these flowers are in bloom. This colorful print is presented in a gold-colored wood frame with a cream-colored double mat with a heather green inner mat. The frame measures 23.5" High, 19" wide and 1.63" deep.
