Pictorial map in black and orange brown tone by W. J. Dittmar, An illustrator of Ragtime music sheets in the early 20th century. First published in 1932 in black and white for the Union Gospel Press. Depicts road through life which is portrayed as a theme park: people arriving at the entrance (lower left) in buses, cars or on foot (on in the case of the Speed Mad in the wreckage of a car) with the ultimate destination being the plane trip from Heaven's Station to Eternity With The Lord. Most of the arrivals are sucked up in the glittering Pit or the inviting entrance "Do the Best You Can. An Easy Way." Many of those traveling further find themselves dumped into the River of Failures by stops at "Friendly Card Game" and the "Social Glass" or loitering at the "Mutual Admiration Society" to mention just a couple of the trials along the way.

The maker of this map, James Cook, surveyor of South Carolina and former marine surveyor, is not to be confused with the Pacific explorer, Captain James Cook. In 1770, James Cook was commissioned by the South Carolina provincial government to make a new survey of the entire province and publish a map, which he completed in 1773. Cummings refers to the map as "the most detailed and accurate printed map of South Carolina, especially for the interior, yet to appear" and further states that "very few copies of this fine map are extant." It provided much of the detail for the later maps by Henry Mouzon and John Stuart. Sellers and Van Ee call it "one of the most important maps in the cartography of the state until the early nineteenth century." It is excessively rare, with only five copies identified in United States institutions, and one in the British Museum. There are two states of this first and only issue, distinguished by the presence in the second state of an additional imprint "Publish'd according to Act of Parliament July 7th. 1773 and Sold by H. Parker in Cornhill" under the neat line. This copy is the first state, with two of the other six copies being first state as well. There are six inset maps: Beaufort, Camden, Georgetown, Port Royal, Charles Town, and Harbour of Charles Town. The main map is very detailed, showing land owners in profusion. Along the coast are many navigation notes, indicative of Cook's maritime background. This appears to have been Cook's only major map production; his other work is limited to three harbor charts published in 1766 (illustrated by Black): A Draught of Port Royal Harbour (similar to the Port Royal inset map on the South Carolina 1773), A Draught of the Harbour of Halifax, and A Draught of West Florida.

Early manuscript star chart integrating Korean, Chinese, and western astronomical science, with title on verso, on sheet 85x81. Date estimated. Originally engraved in a stone stele. Showing rank and distribution of Stars, illustrates the traditional Chinese zodiacal system, following the Cheonsang Yeolcha Bunyajido, a fourteenth -centuray Korean star map, but also incorporating western zodiacal astrology, and Qian Lezhi's c. 440 AD Chinese celestial globe illustrating the work of the ancient Chinese astronomers Shi Shen, Gan De, and Wu Xian. Following Qian Lezhi's c. system the constellations of the three great astronomers are distinguished. Constellations appearing in black reference Gan De, constellations in red reference Shi Shen, open circles reference Wu Xia. Two larger intersecting circles surround the center, represent the ecliptic and Equator. The chart is further divided into numerous xiu, surrounding a central nexus. The nexus, represented by a circle at the center of the map, represents Earthly life. The other constellations are divided into zones typically referred to as xiu or mansions. In traditional Chinese celestial cartography there are 28 unequal mansions, presumably associated with lunar movements. This chart, for no clear reason, consolidates several of the smaller mansions into larger entities, leaving only 24. This chart also illustrates the Milky Way, a feature uncommon to Chinese charts, but not atypical on Korean charts from the 14th century onwards, when it first appeared on the Cheonsang Yeolcha Bunyajido. Around the outside of the map the constellations of the western Zodiac, and the seasons, are named. An exceptionally rare and important discovery.

Note
A spectacular map, missed by Wheat. With full and outline color. Shows the route of the proposed Northern Pacific Railroad. Covers the entire U.S. and Canada west of the Mississippi, and south to the 38th parallel. One immediately recognizes the use of the Warren/Freyhold "Map of the Territory of the United States..." of 1868, for the lower portion of this map - it is an exact copy. The upper portion appears to be a copy of some official English and/or Canadian survey map. Isothermal lines, railroad routes, latitudes of major European Cities, Distances to Asia, Coal fields, and notes about usability of the soil and forests are added. A profile shows the "Difference Between The Elevations of the Northern Pacific and the Union Pacific Railroads." Relif shown by hachures.

1st edition was 1800. Vail says this was the "Most important map of the Holland Land Company, published for the promotion of sale of their Western New York lands." Nestler calls it "Probably the most important map of western NY when Buffalo was still known as New Amsterdam, and when land companies were luring settlers to this new frontier." The map is highly detailed, showing every tributary of every tributary of every stream. All the township and range lines are laid down, every town located, all reservations shown and all roads indicated. One has the impression that the ground was expertly surveyed with care and diligence. The Holland land holding comprised well over three million acres, not a modest subdivision! Ellicott was the company's agent at Batavia for many years. Map is without color.
