Untitled, unauthored and undated varnished card wheel 11 3/4" in diameter, printed on both sides with hand colored highlighting, and mounted with a mahogany handle with brass alidades divided 0-90 degrees. Both terrestrial hemispheres are shown, with political, geographic and astronomical features in great detail. The circumference carries numerous definitions and instructions for use and calculation e.g. "To find the Azimuth of ye Sun at any given hour of the Day; To find the Space of Time during which there is no Dark Night; etc." A wonderful, most rare device.

List No

Note
In 1769 Joseph Priestley published A new chart of history. Popularized the timeline format with his influential Chart of Biography in 1765. He was inspired by the Thomas Jefferys' 1753 model for a historical chart, A Chart of Universal History, upon which he improved – by regularizing the distribution of dates, by presenting time horizontally, and by emphasizing the continuous flow of historical time. This chart is identical to the Chart of Biography in size and scale. This innovative, colorful timeline exhibits regions and the unity of empires that cannot be represented by continuous space. Priestley runs his dates across the page from left to right.

Relief shown by hachures, shading and spot heights. Digital mosaic of Wheeler survey sheets 47D and 56B (1877) georectified to modern elevation data. Moving outward from the shoreline the historical maps are incrementally morphed into a digital monochromatic shaded relief image derived from modern National Elevation Dataset data (USGS). In the two upper corners the shaded relief image morphs into a true color Landsat 7 image (NASA, 1999).
