Presented is an 1894 signed first edition goupil-gravure print by Heywood Hardy (1842-1933). The engraving was printed in Paris and published by Boussod Valadon & Co. Publishers, the successors to Goupil & Co. Designed as a companion to After the Drive, Hardy’s On the Moors (Dogging) depicts three hunters and their two dogs hunting ducks. The youngest of the three men is shooting his gun as the dogs excitedly wait to chase after the bird. This print is one of only 75 artist’s proofs and has been signed by the artist in pencil at the lower left corner of the print’s margin. Hunting has a long history in England and is considered a very traditional activity even today. One of the most popular forms of hunting is called “wildfowling” and targets wild geese and ducks. Often conducted on coastal marshes, wildfowling is typically a solitary or small group sport unlike the grand group fox and pheasant hunts...

Antique map titled 'Mapa de la Republica Oriental del Uruguay'. Large and detailed folding map of Uruguay. This monumental map depicts all of Uruguay with unprecedented accuracy and detail. Impressively, it serves the multiple roles of being an advanced topographic, economic and political map, as well as being a meticulous sea chart of the Rio de la Plata and the adjacent waters of the Atlantic. The republic's 20 departments are defined in various colors, while a legend, 'Referencias' identifies symbols representing the locations of departmental capitals, town, roads, railways, public schools and lighthouses, amongst other details. Every single river and stream is delineated and named and the ridges of hills are delicately expressed. The map features four insets, including a large map of the capital, Montevideo, as well as maps of Colonia, Maldonado and Punta del Este and the Island of Flores. The hydrographical information provided is truly profound, and renders the map fit for use in maritime commerce. In 1901, the Uruguayan House of Representatives commissioned the geographer Saturnino Cortesi to employ the most progressive geographical sources, both military and civilian, to devise an authoritative national map of the republic. Cortesi clearly had access to a vast archive of topographical surveys...
