About the Item
[World War Two map]
Dunkirk to Berlin June 1940 - July 1945 - A Map of the Journeys Undertaken by The Rt. Hon. Sir Winston Churchill, K.G., O.M. C.H. in Defence of the British Commonwealth and Empire.
London, George Philip & Son Ltd., 1947.
The map provides a record of Winston Churchill's journeys in the Second World War and the means by which the travels were made. His journeyswere to numerous political conferences from New York to Moscow, beginning with the ‘Atlantic Charter’ in 1941, which was the product of his meeting at sea with Roosevelt that established the general desire on both sides for a democratic, progressive post-war world. After a number of intercontinental circuits the map brings his journeys to an end at the Potsdam Conference of 1945, the historic meeting of the ‘Big Three’ (Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin), to negotiate the post-war treatment of Germany.
In addition, the map also illustrates Churchill's 1944 tours of the beaches of Normandy and the invasion coasts of Italy and Southern France. Featured at the bottom are illustrations of his travelling crafts, including the ships ‘King George V’ and the ‘Queen Mary’.
Folding map, general mild toning more so to some folds, otherwise very good. Framed and glazed, overall size: 9990 x 1240 mm (123.7cm by 98.5cm by 2.5cm).

North America Corrected from the Observations Communicated to the Royal Society at London, and the Royal Academy at Paris. By John Senex F.R.S. 1710. To the Honorable Anthony Hammond Esq.

A fine map of North and Central America, with the West Indies. One of the earliest large-scale English maps of North America. It represents a British attempt to consolidate new information about the region and borrows data from such recently published sources as Delisle’s landmark Carte du Mexique et de la Floride and Carte de la Canada. Senex improves upon De L'Isle's work with a fine depiction of the Great Lakes region and the most accurate definition of the lower Mississippi River and its delta by an English cartographer of the period. Several of the most important and controversial cartographic discoveries of the period are discussed at length, including Lahontan’s mythical Long River and the Salt Lake east of the Country of the Mozeemleck’s, both of which are also depicted in remarkable (albeit fanciful) detail. Sir William Phipps discovery of Spanish wrecks off the coast of the Caicos and Southern Bahamas is also noted. Senex also extended the map’s coverage to the Canadian Arctic and the Terra Incognita above Baffin’s Bay. Present-day Oklahoma and Texas are part of La Floride, considered at the time to be a possession of the French. The Red River and the Indian villages of East Texas are portrayed accurately, but Senex, following Delisle, incorrectly placed many Texas rivers...Category

During the 1970s, Chicago founded the first feminist art program in the United States at California State University, Fresno (formerly Fresno State College) which acted as a catalyst for feminist art and art education during the 1970s. Her inclusion in hundreds of publications in various areas of the world showcases her influence in the worldwide art community. Additionally, many of her books have been published in other countries, making her work more accessible to international readers. Chicago's work incorporates a variety of artistic skills, such as needlework, counterbalanced with skills such as welding and pyrotechnics. Chicago's most well known work is The Dinner Party, which is permanently installed in the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art at the Brooklyn Museum. The Dinner Party celebrates the accomplishments of women throughout history and is widely regarded as the first epic feminist artwork. Other notable art projects by Chicago include International Honor Quilt, Birth Project, Powerplay, and The Holocaust Project. She is represented by Jessica Silverman...Category
