Original Antique Map of Greece and Epirus after the Persian Wars, Published 1880
Located in Langweer, NL
The map titled "GRAECIA, EPIRUS post bella Persica," translates to "Greece and Epirus after the Persian Wars." It covers the regions of ancient Greece and Epirus following the Greco-Persian Wars, a series of conflicts between the Greek city-states and the Persian Empire during the 5th century BC.
What makes this map interesting:
1. **Historical Context**: The period after the Persian Wars was pivotal for ancient Greece, leading to the rise of Athens as a major power and the Golden Age of Athens.
2. **Inset Maps**: Detailed insets, such as the one showing the Acropolis of Athens, provide close-up views of historically significant locations.
3. **Topography**: It features the diverse terrain of Greece, from the rugged mountain ranges to the intricate coastlines and islands, influencing the development of Greek city-states.
4. **City-States**: The map likely details the various polis or city-states, such as Athens, Sparta, Thebes, and others, which played critical roles in the Persian Wars.
5. **Battle Sites**: It might mark important battle sites from the wars, like Marathon, Thermopylae, Salamis, and Plataea.
6. **Latin Labels**: The use of Latin for place names and descriptions adds to the map's scholarly quality.
7. **Cultural Landmarks**: The map may include locations of significant cultural and historical landmarks from the era, such as temples, theatres, and agoras.
This map is from the "Spruner-Menke Atlas Antiquus," compiled by Karl Spruner von Merz and edited by Theodorus Menke. The atlas, known for its detailed maps of historical and ancient geographies, was a significant educational tool in the 19th century.
The Greco-Persian Wars, which included famous battles such as Marathon and Salamis, were crucial for the preservation of Greek independence...

Arctic Exploration: An Original Map of the North Circumpolar Regions, 1882
Located in Langweer, NL
This map, extracted from the 1882 atlas by Blackie & Son, presents the North Circumpolar Regions in a projection centered on the North Pole, offering a unique view of the Arctic territories. The map's radial lines emanate from the pole, focusing on the northernmost parts of continents and the intricate archipelagos that are scattered across the Arctic Ocean.
The territories of Canada, Greenland, Northern Europe, Russia, and the northern extremities of Asia are portrayed with careful detail, highlighting the geography known to Victorian explorers. Notably, the map's color palette is subdued, with the cold regions depicted in pale hues, while coastlines and political boundaries are traced in warmer tones, providing a stark contrast that emphasizes the frigid environment.
The map likely served purposes both educational and navigational, capturing the extent of polar exploration at the time. Names of seas, straits, and islands honor explorers and patrons of the age of Arctic exploration, and the map also hints at the incomplete knowledge of the era, with some areas less detailed than others, reflecting the limits of exploration and cartographic knowledge of the Arctic region at that time.
Moreover, the map includes longitudinal and latitudinal markers, which would have been crucial for navigation and expedition planning. The inclusion of such detail illustrates the growing interest in polar exploration during the late 19th century...

Sterling Silver Native American Indian Motif "Note Holder" American, Circa 1880
Located in Incline Village, NV
Very rare and unusual piece, a sterling silver "note holder" fronted by an Indian Chief on the front in high relief. A bale on top provides for a necklace and hanging as a decorative piece of jewelry. Other decoration on the front includes a tomahawk and a peace pipe criss-crossed beneath the Indian. The back is plain with a decorative "repousse" floral border, and "sterling" clearly marked in the lower left (see image). It is 2 7/8" high x 2" wide resembling and in the style of a match safe; probably manufactured by Unger Bros. of Newark, New Jersey, circa 1880, but difficult to observe all of the surfaces because of the frontal "notes" in permanent place. A note holder would have been used to write down reminders and/or notations by the user; the surfaces appear to be a celluloid type material. Condition is excellent with six notes intact; a very slight "crease" to the back side; hardly noticeable (see image).

The photographer, Anthony Bogardus, was a photographic pioneer, described by the New York Times as “the best-known photographer in the United States” in his prime who took “the first photographs of Gen. Grant, Gen. Hancock, Samuel D. Morse, inventor of the telegraph; Horace Greeley, Henry Ward Beecher and other equally well-known men.”

American Pottery Pig Bank, Circa 1880's
Located in Incline Village, NV
American pottery still bank in the shape of a pig, used for saving coins (usually pennies) to encourage children the importance of thrift. Pottery still banks are somewhat scarce since the typical way to remove coins was to smash the bank open, albeit, with this particular example, perhaps a knife was used for coin removal (note the wear to the coin slot---see images) or perhaps the additional wear is also from many coins having been deposited.
The bank is in good all original condition , from an unknown potter (unmarked) circa 1880's, and probably a variant of #633 "Two Toned Pig" in Andy Moore's "The Penny Bank Book" written in 1984 when collecting pottery banks...

Antique Decorative Coloured Map Egypt, Nubia, Abyssinia and more, 1882
Located in Langweer, NL
This image contains two maps, with the left one being labeled "Egypt" and the right one "Nubia, Abyssinia and the Adjacent Lands." These maps highlight the Nile Valley and surrounding regions.
The maps from the Blackie & Son atlas published in 1882 are interesting for several reasons:
1. **Historical Context**: The year 1882 is significant because it falls within the period of European imperial expansion in Africa. It was also just before the British occupation of Egypt, which began that year. Therefore, the maps serve as historical documents showing the geopolitical state of the region just before a major shift in its colonial status.
2. **Cartographic Style**: The maps reflect the cartographic style of the late 19th century, which often featured detailed engravings and fine detail. They provide a snapshot of the cartographic knowledge and aesthetic of the time.
3. **Geographical Knowledge**: These maps were created during a time when much of Africa's interior was still being explored by Europeans. The representation of features like rivers, mountains, and settlements can tell us about the extent of geographical knowledge at the time.
4. **Cultural Representation**: The way the map represents different regions, peoples, and geographical features can give insights into the cultural and political views of the era. It may reflect the European understanding and biases towards these regions.
5. **Educational Purpose**: Blackie & Son were known for their educational materials...
