About the Item

This is an unique Autograph Invitation Letters by the Italian artist, Corrado Cagli (1910-1976) to the Countess and patron of arts, Anna Laetitia Pecci-Blunt. Paris, November 28th 938. One page, single-sided. On light blue paper, on letterhead "Hotel La Bourdonnais". In Italian. In excellent condition. Perfectly readable.Including original envelope. An letter written by the Roman school artist to invite his first promoter to his solo-exhibition at 19 Rue de Marignan in Paris. This letters with all the details of the new Cagli's projects is an incredible source of information for the historian of arts and connaisseur! The 1935 is an important year for the young artist: between April and May Cagli organises a first solo show of fifty drawings at the new Galleria La Cometa of the Countess Anna Laetitia (Mimi) Pecci Blunt, directed by Libero De Libero and by Cagli himself, inaugurated in that occasion. The gallery will carry out until 1938, thanks to the influence of Cagli, an important work of cultural diffusion of an anti-nineteenth century style. At the end of 1938, he was exiled, following the proclamation of racial laws and the intensification of anti-Semitic attacks against his person and his work. He settled at first in Paris, where he continued to exhibit and, at the end of 1939, from Cherbourg, he embarked for New York. Before his leaving, he realized the exhibition mentioned above, in 19 Rue de Marignan in Paris.

Map of Palestine or Judea, Illustrating the History of the New Testament
By Rev. Nathan B. Rogers
Located in New York, NY
Pen and ink on paper, laid down on canvas, mounted to wooden scroll bars Signed and dated lower right: “Drawn by N. B. Rogers August. 1843” Inscribed with an ownership inscription on the verso: Rev. E. D. Daniels, Palmer, Mass. Provenance: Rev. Eugene Davidson Daniels, Palmer, Massachusetts, 1871 This extraordinary manuscript map is a rare survivor of the devotional and educational culture of New England in the first half of the nineteenth century. Although at first glance resembling a large-scale engraving or printed publication, this precisely rendered wall map was entirely drawn by hand, the product of meticulous research by a minister working in isolation in rural Maine. The map shows New Testament era cities, towns, tribal areas, and political borders as well as physical features such as rivers, lakes, mountains, and hills (indicated by half-tone cross-hatching). On to this geographically accurate rendering of the Holy Land, Rogers has located and inscribed significant locales mentioned in the Gospels and has annotated these places with relevant citations from the Bible. He further records these by plotting the travels of Jesus on what resemble a series of trails across the Holy Land. Each is distinguished by a different pattern of dots and dashes – correlated to an explanatory table at the lower right. From this we know that these lines document the “Flight into Egypt and return,” “Travels of Christ from Nazareth to Jerusalem and return,” “Travels from the commencement of his Ministry to the first Passover,” “Travels from the first and the second Passover,” “Travels from Jerusalem to Galilee after the 2nd Passover,” and “Travels from the third Passover to the Crucifixion.” An inset map of “Jerusalem...
