1794 Bryan Edwards Map of Jamaica – Parishes, Plantations, Settlements This is an important antique map titled “A Map of the Island of Jamaica, Divided into Counties and Parishes,” created by Bryan Edwards in 1794. It was published in the second edition of his influential work *The History of the British West Indies*, which provided detailed insights into the geography, society, and economy of the Caribbean at the height of British colonial influence. The map meticulously depicts Jamaica divided into its traditional counties and parishes, each shaded to aid visual differentiation. Major settlements are clearly labelled, including Kingston, Montego Bay, Spanish Town, and Falmouth. The island’s intricate network of rivers, mountains, and coastal features are rendered with careful hachure and stipple shading to indicate elevation and terrain. Edwards uses small circular symbols to denote the locations of numerous sugar plantations that formed the backbone of Jamaica’s economy during this period, each plantation representing not only agricultural wealth but also the grim history of enslaved African labour central to the island’s prosperity. Further notations identify churches, barracks, forts, and ports, demonstrating the comprehensive utility of this map for historical research into colonial infrastructure. The map even marks Bryan...

Ottomanorum Principum Effigies – Complete Ottoman Rulers Table, Rome c.1700 This impressive and complete multi-sheet engraving set titled “Ottomanorum Principum Effigies” presents a learned dynastic overview of the Ottoman rulers, conceived as a single monumental composition rather than as independent portraits. Engraved in Rome around 1700, the series was designed for assembly into a large rectangular genealogical table, following the architectural framework and paired medallion structure visible across the sheets. The set traces the Ottoman dynasty from its founder, Osman I, through successive sultans to the reigning rulers of the early eighteenth century. Each medallion contains a finely engraved portrait accompanied by a Latin historical summary, reflecting the European scholarly tradition of universal history and comparative imperial studies. Several medallions intentionally remain blank, an original and significant feature indicating that the table was conceived as an open-ended genealogy, allowing for future rulers to be added. Their presence confirms completeness rather than loss. The engravings are executed with refined burin work, dense concentric backgrounds, and architectural framing characteristic of Roman engraving at the turn of the eighteenth century. The composition closely relates to contemporary genealogical tables of emperors, popes, and royal houses produced for an international learned audience. The sheets are printed on high-quality Italian laid paper bearing the watermark of Pietro Meliani of Fabriano, one of the most important papermakers of the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. Fabriano paper was widely favored by Roman engravers for its durability, clarity of impression, and prestige, and the presence of this watermark further supports the Roman origin and period of the set. When assembled as intended, the sheets form a visually powerful rectangular wall table, equally suited to a library, study, or institutional collection. Surviving complete sets of this series are scarce; most examples encountered on the market are fragmentary or broken up into individual sheets. Offered here is a full, intact set as issued, making it a strong object for collectors of Ottoman history, early modern genealogy, or large-scale historical prints with both intellectual and decorative authority. Condition report: Complete six-sheet set. Overall good, honest condition. Light age toning, scattered staining and watermarks, mainly in margins. Plates clean and well printed. No losses to engraved image areas. Blank medallions original to the design.

Chinese Noble with Attendant and Child, Hand-Coloured Ferrario Costume Plate 1815 A refined early nineteenth-century hand-coloured copperplate engraving depicting a Chinese noble figure accompanied by an attendant and child, originating from Giulio Ferrario’s monumental ethnographic publication *Il Costume Antico e Moderno di Tutti i Popoli* (Costumes Ancient and Modern of All Peoples), published in Milan around 1815. This influential work represents one of the most ambitious illustrated surveys of global cultures produced during the Enlightenment period, combining artistic refinement with documentary curiosity about the wider world. The composition presents a dignified standing figure dressed in an elaborately patterned robe, holding a fan while accompanied by a servant carrying a parasol overhead — a visual symbol of rank and status within traditional Chinese society. The presence of a child adds narrative warmth and suggests familial or social context, transforming the plate from a purely ethnographic study into a lively human scene. The costumes are rendered with careful attention to textile patterns, colour contrasts, and silhouette, reflecting the European fascination with Chinese dress and ceremonial customs during the era of expanding trade and cultural exchange. Executed in precise engraved line and enhanced with delicate contemporary hand-colouring, the plate demonstrates the clarity and balance characteristic of early nineteenth-century Italian printmaking. Ferrario’s publication sought to educate European audiences through visual representations of different cultures, blending scholarly intent with decorative appeal. Today, such prints are valued both for their historical insight and for their aesthetic qualities, particularly within collections focused on Asian art, costume history, or early ethnographic illustration. The vertical format and harmonious palette make this engraving especially attractive for interior design settings. Framed individually, it serves as an elegant focal point; alternatively, it pairs well with other Ferrario Chinese costume plates to create a cohesive gallery wall in luxury interiors. Condition: Good antique condition consistent with age. Light age toning and minor handling marks to margins; plate impression visible. Colours remain fresh. Original embossed blind stamp visible, as issued, with possible light overlap into the image area. Framing tips: Dark walnut or ebonized frame with a wide ivory mat enhances the subtle colouring and provides a museum-quality presentation suited to refined interiors. Technique: Hand-coloured copperplate engraving Maker: Giulio Ferrario publication, Milan (Italy), circa 1815 Keywords: Chinese costume engraving, Ferrario costume print, Il Costume Antico e Moderno, antique China...

Caribbean & Lesser Antilles – Enlightenment Map by Rigobert Bonne, c.1780 This finely engraved late-18th-century map depicts the Lesser Antilles and the eastern Caribbean, titled Carte des Isles Antilles ou du Vent avec la Partie Orientale des Isles Sous le Vent, engraved circa 1780 by Rigobert Bonne, one of the most influential cartographers of the French Enlightenment. The map covers the Windward and Leeward Islands from Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands south through Guadeloupe, Dominica, Martinique, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent, Grenada, and Tobago, extending to the northern coast of South America around Trinidad and the Gulf of Paria. Bonne served as Ingénieur-Hydrographe de la Marine and chief cartographer at the Dépôt de la Marine in Paris, where he succeeded Jacques-Nicolas Bellin. His work marked a decisive move toward scientifically grounded cartography, emphasizing accurate coastlines, standardized measurement, and the synthesis of contemporary nautical and colonial intelligence. This map exemplifies Bonne’s mature style, combining hydrographic precision with exceptional clarity and restraint. The geography is rendered with notable detail and balance. Individual islands are crisply delineated, with harbors, capes, and anchorages carefully engraved, reflecting the strategic maritime importance of the Caribbean in the late 18th century. French, British, Spanish, and Dutch colonial possessions are clearly identified, underscoring the geopolitical complexity of the region. The inclusion of the South American coastline further emphasizes the Caribbean’s role as a connective maritime zone between Europe and the Americas. Visually elegant and architecturally calm, the map’s tall vertical format, fine line engraving, and generous margins give it strong decorative appeal when framed. It functions equally well as a scholarly object for collectors of Caribbean and colonial cartography and as a refined wall piece for a library, study, or contemporary interior. Condition report Good antique condition. Light age toning and minor handling wear consistent with 18th-century copperplate engraving. Original centerfold as issued. Clean impression with strong legibility; margins ample for framing. Framing tips Best framed in dark walnut or ebonized wood with a generous ivory or warm off-white mat. Museum glass recommended to preserve detail and enhance contrast. Particularly effective as a tall vertical focal piece. SEO keywords Caribbean antique...
