Show morePrinted in Great Britain by George Philip & Son, Ltd. Very rare map showing the route of a proposed Haifa-Baghdad railway that was never completed. We are only able to trace two copies in institutions: National Archives, Kew, and Oxford. The British contemplated building a railway connecting the Mediterranean with the capital of Iraq in the 1920s, ostensibly to shore up their imperial rule, support the British-backed Arab government of Iraq, and secure the oil pipeline already running from the Mosul oilfields to Haifa. The British were also aware that, with the development of air warfare, the Suez Canal could be easily attacked in a time of war, and alternative military routes to cross the Middle East to access India were required. However, a series of economic difficulties trumped political and military expediency, and with the outbreak of the Second World War, the dream of a trans-Middle East rail service evaporated. Octavo (190 x 105mm). Folding lithographic map, with manuscript additions showing built and planned railway routes, colour-coded to show the differing gauges, on a scale of 55 miles = one inch (1:3,500,000), mounted on linen and folded within original green cloth binding, 2pp. of publisher’s ads pasted onto front free endpaper and verso of map (cloth lightly soiled) Main Heritage Display General Book Item-ID: i26516718 BIB-ID: 2733810 Show less

Relief shown by hachures. Covers part of Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Israel. Shows explorer's sea routes. Prime meridian: Paris. "P." A complete set of the six volume Atlas Universel in original bindings of half red leather teal cloth covered boards with title "Vandermaelen. Atlas Universel..." embossed in gold on the spine. This monumental work was the first atlas of the world with all maps on the same scale (and a large scale at that - about one inch to 26 miles) and the first lithographed world atlas. If all the maps were joined together they would form a globe of 7.75 meters in diameter (such a globe was made in Brussels). The maps were published originally in parts of ten maps each, beginning in 1825 and ending in 1827. Vandermaelen's maps are frequently misunderstood because each map is usually best comprehended in the context of its neighboring maps - the maps do not function well on their own, since they were all meant to be joined. Koeman states that "His atlases, although unique in concept and size did not possess that fine touch of cartographic style which make them attractive for a collector..." We strongly disagree - the graphic art of the maps must be appreciated in the context of lithography, a developing art at the time; as lithographs, they are very well done. For many of the areas depicted, these maps are the largest scale maps made at the time, and the most detailed (particularly in the American West). Maps are hand painted in outline color.
