Geological Map of Europe by A.K. Johnston – Mountains and Valleys 1852
Located in Langweer, NL
Geological Map of Europe by A.K. Johnston – Mountains and Valleys 1852 This elegant 1852 map titled "The Mountains, Table Lands, Plains & Valleys of Europe" was designed by the acclaimed Scottish geographer Alexander Keith Johnston and published by William Blackwood & Sons, Edinburgh and London. Issued as Plate 5 in Johnston’s pioneering work *The Physical Atlas of Natural Phenomena*, this map presents a physical topographic view of Europe with a focus on land elevation and terrain structure, rather than political borders. Rendered in soft shades of beige, green, and blue, the map clearly delineates Europe’s major mountain ranges, including the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, Apennines, and the Scandinavian Mountains. Valleys, upland plateaus, and lowlands are carefully shaded and labeled, giving a three-dimensional sense of the landscape. The careful use of hachuring and color gradients creates a tactile impression of Europe’s relief, from the Scottish Highlands to the Ural Mountains. Rather than showing countries, the map categorizes the land by geological and geomorphological features. The title and key in the lower right explain the distinctions between highlands, tablelands, and low plains, emphasizing natural geography over human boundaries. This approach reflects the 19th-century scientific movement toward thematic cartography—maps made not to navigate or govern, but to understand physical phenomena. Alexander Keith Johnston (1804–1871), Geographer in Ordinary to the Queen for Scotland, was one of the most respected mapmakers of the Victorian era. His *Physical Atlas* was a groundbreaking work in visual science, and among the first to systematically map climate, geology, hydrology, and landforms across the globe. This plate is a beautifully executed example of early data visualization and remains highly relevant for collectors of antique scientific prints...

Presentation Model of America’s Cup Winner America by G. L. Watson
Located in Lymington, Hampshire
This cased presentation half hull model is of the first winner of the America’s Cup, the schooner America. The copper coloured bottom is painted with black topsides and has a finely carved garland around the bow. There are two stump masts, a caprail and bowsprit. It is set on a mahogany backboard with a Bakelite name plaque engraved ‘Schooner Yacht ‘America’ Scale ¼ = 1 foot to W.G.J. from G.L.W’. A label identifies the case maker as ‘Lambert Picture Frame Manufacturer, 34 Albert Gate, Hyde Park, S.W.’ and another describes the model, including the fact that the case was added in 1903. It then explains the initials W.G.J. and G.L.W. ‘This model was presented by G.L.Watson to W.G.Jameson. George L.Watson was one of England’s leading yacht designers. He designed four America’s Cup Challengers which included: Thistle, Valkyrie, Valkyrie II and Shamrock II. He also designed the King’s Britannia, and the Kaiser’s Meteor. William G.Jameson was probably the most successful amateur helmsman in the U K in the 1880’s and the 1890’s. Jameson introduced Lord Dunraven to yacht racing in 1887. Dunraven was to build three challengers for the America’s Cup, all designed by G.L.Watson. Jameson in 1892 acted as an adviser to the Prince of Wales and introduced him to Watson who designed his Britannia. Jameson also advised Thomas Lipton in his Shamrock II challenge. Clearly, Watson and Jameson worked closely throughout their careers. Scottish, 1887. Provenance: 1887 George L. Watson presented this half hull to William G. Jamieson 1903 Unknown owner(s) thence The Glen Foster Collection 1999 Hyland Granby Antiques, Hyannis Port, Massachusetts 2002 The Kelton Collection of Maritime Art & Artifacts Probably the most famous racing yacht ever built, and the first winner of the America’s Cup, this schooner, designed by James and George Steers, was built by a syndicate of New York Yacht Club members to sail to England. The purpose of this visit was twofold: to show off U.S. shipbuilding skills and make money through competing in regattas. Only launched on 3rd May 1851, she had crossed the Atlantic and won the 53-mile race around the Isle of Wight by 22nd August that same year. America was captained by Richard Brown, who was a skilled member of the Sandy Hook Pilots group, renowned worldwide for their expertise and speed in manoeuvering schooner-rigged pilot boats...
