Antique 1755 Copperplate Engraving Westminster Bridge Lambeth Survey of London
Located in Dayton, OH
Antique hand colored riverscape / landscape copperplate engraving based on a painting by Jacob Maurer and engraved by Paul Fourdrinier - A View of Westminster Bridge from Lambeth, published according to Act of Parliament 1754 for Stowe’s Survey of London. BIO: Paul Fourdrinier sometimes referred to as Peter or Pierre Fourdrinier, was an 18th Century engraver in England. Paul Fourdrinier, engraver and printseller, was born on 20 December 1698 in Groningen in the Netherlands, the son of Jacques Fourdrinier and his wife, Jeanne Theroude, Huguenot refugees from Dieppe, Normandy. He was a pupil of Bernard Picart at Amsterdam for six years, and came to England in 1720. He was employed in engraving portraits and book illustrations. He also engraved two works by Peter Monamy, marine paintings displayed in Vauxhall Gardens. The engravings were published in 1743, but may have been executed earlier. Starting in 1742 Fourdrinier produced a series of books consisting of numerous folding charts showing "The Succession of Colonels to all his Majesties Land Forces from their Rise to 1742", as well as many other details of British military and naval personnel. The 2004 edition of the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography makes it clear that in the 19th century edition of the Dictionary of National Biography this engraver's works and career were assigned to two individuals, Peter (or Pierre) and Paul Fourdrinier. Peter/Pierre is now seen to be a fictitious individual resulting from an accidental misnaming of Paul. Paul Fourdrinier is mentioned as the engraver of some of the works listed above, and he has been identified with the Paul Fourdrinier who was of the parish of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields, married to Susanna Grolleau, and who died in January or February 1758. The couple had at least five children, including a son Henry Fourdrinier, whose daughter, or granddaughter, Jemima Fourdrinier was the mother of Cardinal John Henry Newman...

1848 Gold and Quicksilver District of California Map
Located in Colorado Springs, CO
Published on July 25, 1848, this map shows the location of key gold and quicksilver (mercury, in the form of cinnabar) deposits in the territory of California. The map details the Sacramento Valley, San Francisco, and the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California.
The first gold strikes occurred at Sutter’s Mill, on the American River in northern California. Soon after the initial find, prospectors began streaming into California in hordes. As such, demand was high for cartographic knowledge of the region.
The map displays the basic topography of California, showing mountains, rivers, bays, and mountain passes in hachures. Its principal purpose was to highlight the latest information on mineral deposits and the exact locations where gold and quicksilver had been discovered, with engraved inscriptions like “Sub soil contains Gold, covered with Live Oak”, “Gold found on this Creek”, or “The hills more or less colored with Cinnabar”.
This map accompanied Col. R.B. Mason's 1848 report on the recent discovery of gold along the Sacramento River, and is one the earliest obtainable map of the California gold regions. The cartographer of this map was Edward Otho Cresap Ord (1818–1883), a Union general in the American Civil War, and the map was printed by Peter S. Duval (circa 1805−1886), a leading Philadelphia...
