Antique Bird Print of the Brasilian Saw-Billed Roller

Original antique bird print of the Brasilian Saw-Billed Roller, Guira Guainumbi. Published by by George Edwards, circa 1760.
George Edwards FRS (3 April 1694 – 23 July 1773) was an English naturalist and ornithologist, known as the "father of British ornithology". Edwards began studying natural history, especially birds, after an unsuccessful career as a businessman, ‘applying himself to drawing and colouring such animals as fell under his notice’, including foreign specimens brought into the Port of London by ship. Edwards’ chief aim was to ‘achieve a natural and accurate portrayal’, though often from stuffed specimens; with no clear idea of suitable backgrounds he would perch smaller birds on a lichen...

Map of Beijing (Peking) with Tartar and Chinese Divisions and Jesuit Missions
Located in Langweer, NL
An antique map by Jacques Nicolas Bellin titled "Plan de la Ville de Peking Capitale de l'Empire de la Chine," published in Paris in 1754.
This finely engraved plan shows the detailed layout of the city of Peking (now known as Beijing), the capital of China. The map distinctly divides the city into the "Ville Tartare" (Tartar City) and "Ville Chinoise" (Chinese City), indicating the segregated living areas during that period. Notable features on the map include the Emperor's Palace and the French Jesuit and Portuguese Jesuit missions located in the Tartar City, as well as the Temples of the Earth and Sky marked in the Chinese City.
This kind of map is a valuable historical document, offering insight into the urban planning and social geography of Beijing in the mid-18th century. It reflects the European interest in the far reaches of the world during the age of exploration...

Antique print, titled: 'The Fort Fredricksburg formerly to ye Danes and now Fort Royal (…).' - A three panel copperplate engraving showing three forts on the West African Gold Coast, Ghana; a) The Fort Fredricksburgh formerly to ye Danes and now Fort Royal. English at Manfroe, b) The Fort Amsterdam at Cormentyn belonging to ye Hollanders, c) The Fort James, English at Accra. From: "A Collection of Voyages and Travels" published by John and Awnsham Churchill in London in 1744.
Artists and Engravers: Made by 'Johannes Kip' after 'A. Churchill'. Johannes Kip (b Amsterdam, 1653; d London, 1722). Dutch draughtsman, engraver and dealer, active in England. He was a pupil of Bastiaen Stopendaal (1636–1707) from 1668 to 1670. His earliest dated engravings are of 1672 (e.g. the Siege of Groningen , Hollstein, no. 4), and he supplied numerous plates for books published from that date onwards. His work brought him into contact with the court of William of Orange and in 1686 he produced six plates depicting William of Orange, his Wife and Attendants near The Hague (Hollstein, no. 5). Shortly after the Glorious Revolution of 1688 Kip followed the court to England. After settling in Westminster, he worked extensively for London publishers, engraving works after Francis Barlow, Caius Gabriel Cibber (e.g. Interior of the Danish Church in London , 1697; Hollstein, no. 6) and other London-based artists. His engravings were principally destined for book illustrations. The work for which Kip is best remembered is his large corpus...
