Spencer's pick is a remarkable discovery: a scarce 1864 book on #Gettysburg, with ms. notes describing the battle, and two tipped-in maps: one an unrecorded printed map by Andrew J. Cross, another a manuscript map of the battle dated to 1863! #geographicus #li #antiquemaps #civilwar #battleofgettysburg #americancivilwar #raremap #antiquemap Http://bit.ly/geographicus (at Geographicus Rare Antique Maps) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3w9cQyptKD/?igshid=1vn0g2dno5koc

Shumi's pick is this rare 1811 Prague edition of J. C. M. Reinecke's map of the Caucasus, which is surprising as we were not aware of her interest in the Russo-Persian war. She is full of surprises. #antiquemap #georgiarepublic #azerbaijan #caucasus #armenia #li #geographicus #raremaps http://bit.ly/geographicus (at Geographicus Rare Antique Maps) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3ujsUfJE8j/?igshid=19gz4se09oadq

#Spencer's Pick: an ultra-cool WWII unit route map of the famous 42nd Infantry "Rainbow Division" created by Theodore MacKechnie, who served in that unit. These maps were made by the soldiers and for the soldiers - "not for publication!" #antiquemaps #raremaps #geographicus #li #42ndinfantrydivision #rainbowdivision #wwII #worldwar2 (at Geographicus Rare Antique Maps) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4VauX-J0oc/?igshid=q5dj7fzx4vbf

1702 Scherer Map of the Philippine Islands (Philippines) and Guam https://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/philippineislands-scherer-1703 A stunning 1703 map of the Philippines, South China Sea, western Pacific, and Guam by Heinrich Scherer. Essentially two maps on a single sheet, the primary map, appearing at right, covers from Korea to New Guinea and from Borneo to the Marinara Islands, including China, southern Japan, the Philippines, the Marinara Islands, and parts of Indonesia and New Guinea. The left had map is a detailed study of Guam - which has recently converted to Christianity. It bears a Jesuit themed title cartouche and exhibits several ships (Magellan?) and various sea creatures in the Pacific. #geographicus #geographicusmaps #raremap #raremaps #antiquemaps #antiquemap #LI @geographicusmaps #guam #philippines #phimcos @imcossymposiummanila #philippinesmap (at Geographicus Rare Antique Maps) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrT80O2AlX1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ita5yv7097of

1885 Pre-Construction Broadsheet View of the Statue of Liberty https://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/statueofliberty2-nugent-1885 This is a rare c. 1885 broadside pre-construction view of the Statue of Liberty published to promote the Litchfield, Connecticut dry goods firm of Granniss and Elmore. The view illustrates the Statue of Liberty from the south, looking north towards southern Manhattan and the Brooklyn Bridge. The image of the iconic statue here pre-dates the construction of the monument on Bedloe Island and there are inconsistences between the view and the actual statue. Among these are a taller base and variant platform structure. #geographicus #geographicusmaps #raremap #raremaps #antiquemaps #antiquemap #LI @geographicusmaps #statueofliberty #statueofliberty🗽 #newyorkcity #newyorkcityview (at Geographicus Rare Antique Maps) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrN6isjAijr/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vobjio6mw41j

A rare and extraordinary 1663 (Kangxi 2) xylographic map of Ming China, and indeed the entire world, by Wáng Jūnfǔ (王君甫) issued during the reign of the Kangxi Emperor (1661 – 1722). This massively proportioned map focuses on China, which, bounded on the north by the Great Wall of China, on the west by the Yellow River, and on the east and south by oceans, occupies some three fourths of the map. As is characteristic of most Chinese world maps, the less detailed surrounding regions illustrate the rest of the world, but on a much reduced and often hard to interpret scale. https://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/chinaworld2-wangjunfu-1663 #chinesemap #geographicus #raremaps #raremap #antiquemap #antiquemaps #antiquemapsforsale (at Geographicus Rare Antique Maps)
