Antique Map of the Mediterranean, Telemachus' Journey, Publ. Early 18th Century
About the Item
Title: Carte des voyages de Télémaque.
Description: Antique map of Telemachus journey, the son of Odysseus and Penelope (Greek mythology ). This map appeared for the first time, engraved by Berey, in The Adventures of Telemachus, Paris, F. Delaulne, 1717, published by the Marquis de Fenelon. Interesting because Fenelon imagined travels of his hero as a geography similar to that card. The map allowed the reader to follow this route, it also had an educational function by teaching the geography of ancient peoples.
This interesting map is from “The Adventures of Telemachus” which is a didactic French novel by Fénelon, the Archbishop of Cambrai, and tutor to the seven-year-old Duc de Bourgogne (grandson of Louis XIV and second in line to the throne). The plot fills out a gap in Homer's Odyssey, recounting the travels of Telemachus, son of Ulysses, accompanied by his tutor, Mentor, who is revealed at the end of the story to be Minerva, goddess of wisdom, in disguise. The map that tracks the voyage of Telemachus was by S. Bousset was engraved by Hulett. It features a decorative title cartouche with an angel holding a drape.

- Antique 18th Century Map of the Province of Pensilvania 'Pennsylvania State'Located in Philadelphia, PAA fine antique of the colony of Pennsylvania. Noted at the top of the sheet as a 'Map of the province of Pensilvania'. This undated and anonymous map is thought to be from the Gentleman's Magazine, London, circa 1775, although the general appearance could date it to the 1760's. The southern boundary reflects the Mason-Dixon survey (1768), the western boundary is placed just west of Pittsburgh, and the northern boundary is not marked. The map has a number of reference points that likely refer to companion text and appear to be connected to boundaries. The western and southern boundaries are marked Q, R, S, for example. A diagonal line runs from the Susquehanna R to the Lake Erie P. A broken line marked by many letters A, B, N, O, etc., appears in the east. There are no latitude or longitude markings, blank verso.
