Antique Street Map of the City of Edo 'Modern Tokyo' in Japan

About the Item

Antique map titled 'Plan de Jedo - Platte Grond van Jedo'. A detailed street map of the city of Edo (modern Tokyo) in Japan, originally engraved by Bellin and Schley and reissued for Dutch editions of Prévost's monumental 'l'Histoire Géneral des Voyages. The map shows the city as it would have been during the Tokugawa Shogunate, also known as the Edo period. The map centres on the sprawling Edo Castle, here referrred to as the 'Palais de l'Empereur' and shown improbably with a French-style garden in parterre. The only other features of the city to be labelled are two of the early stages of the famous Tokaido road between Tokyo and Kyoto, these being the Nihonbashi Bridge and post town of Shinagawa. The rest of the city is mainly shown as a network of streets, though a number of pagodas, temples, and fortifications are also shown. Published circa 1750.

Antique 18th Century Map of the Province of Pensilvania 'Pennsylvania State'

Located in Philadelphia, PA

A 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. Framed in a shaped contemporary gilt wooden frame and matted under a cream colored matte. Bearing an old Graham Arader Gallery...
