This map was issued after the 1837 rebellion against British rule. It shows transportation systems, militia locations, "Irish Settlements," towns, and "Disaffected Villages burnt by the Queen's troops" (including St. Denis and St. Charles). Water is handpainted in blue, otherwise map is without color. The map was lithographed by Day & Haghe, "Lithors to The Queen, Gate St." and as such is an early example of map lithography in the English map trade. Ristow points out that maps in Parliamentary papers were lithographed due to the need for quick reproductions, and the urgency of the 1837 Rebellion probably is the reason this map was lithographed. It is the only map published by Wyld that we have seen that was lithographed. This map did not have a wide circulation and is scarce.

Engraved outline hand color map. Shows boundaries, towns, rivers, railway, roads and place names. Relief shown by hachures., Although this lacks a title page and index, it is a collection of maps that closely corresponds to Meyer's Zeittungs und Groschen Atlas. The maps are dated from 1832 to 1854, with the largest number dated between 1849 and 1852. There are six detailed maps of groups of the United States, including an interesting "Californien, Texas und die Territorien New Mexico u. Utah" of 1852 that shows the gold region in California and has a Texas truncated by an enlarged New Mexico. The bound order of the maps is puzzling, seeming to skip around from country to country with no obvious logic - however, there is a manuscript index listing all the maps and the pages are also numbered in ms. Also there are 5 pages of manuscript index placed in the atlas listing the maps in detail. The maps are of the highest Meyer quality and, although small, packed with information. Outline color. Atlas is bound in half leather marbled paper covered boards with a paper label reading "Schwartz" in ms., Espenhorst 3.1.2.1.; not in Phillips.

Lithographed. Relief shown with hachures. Canals, railroads, and roads shown. Meridian Washington. Inset historic population tables., This is a unique copy of the Mitchell/Tanner Universal Atlas. Frederick Bourquin and his employer, Peter Duval, received a Third Premium Award from the Franklin Institute in November, 1848, for their achievement in transferring the Universal Atlas from copper plates to lithographic stones. The catalog of the exhibition lists it as "No. 52. Universal Atlas in folio, a most beautiful specimen of the art of transferring and lithographic printing, from the press of P.S. Duval, Philadelphia, transferred by Bourquin." This copy of the atlas was their submission to the Franklin Institute to be considered for the award. It is made up of sheets from the atlas, all uncolored, all oversized, and all taken from various editions of the atlas from 1846 to 1848 (one map is dated 1849, but we believe it was issued in late 1848). It appears that these sheets were offprints that remained in the lithographer's shop and that the atlas was made up from them. Atlas is bound in half leather marbled paper covered boards with leather label on the front reading "Atlas Transferred From Copper To And Printed From Stone By Frederick Bourquin." The atlas stayed with the Franklin Institute, each page having the Institute's stamp on it, and was eventually sold by the Institute in the mid twentieth century. There are several erasures of dates that are earlier than 1848 (perhaps an attempt to make the book seem up to date) and several erasures of Tanner's name (on the title page) to conform to the fact that in 1848 this was known as Mitchell's atlas. The map borders vary between the "Mitchell" and the "Tanner" borders. And the paper thickness and quality varies as well. These sheets may have been some of the first "pulls" of each map in the various 1846-48 editions. This is a fascinating compilation and throws light on the transition in printing from copper plate to lithographic stone., Ristow p. 311 (award actually received in 1848), Ristow p. 311 (award actually received in 1848).

"First Edition. A Nearly Flawless Example. The French Navy's Official Atlas of the American Coasts During the Revolution. "A collection of very beautiful charts of the coast of North America, with plans of the ports and harbours" - Sabin The Neptune Americo-Septentrional, a seminal collection of nautical charts, was published during the height of the American Revolutionary War, under the auspices of Antoine Sartine, Minister of the French Navy. This atlas, first released for the strategic use of the French Navy, encapsulates an extensive survey of the North American coastline, stretching from Greenland to the Gulf of Mexico, including Florida, Louisiana, and various significant ports and rivers. This atlas represents a critical moment in maritime history, produced amidst the geopolitical turbulence of the late 18th century. Its creation coincided with a period marked by the American Revolution and the ensuing recalibration of colonial powers. Antoine Sartine, notable for his efforts in modernizing the French fleet, orchestrated the compilation of these charts, underscoring the strategic maritime importance of North America during this era. The detailed maps and plans within the atlas were integral to naval operations, offering unprecedented precision and breadth in depicting the American Atlantic coast and its adjoining waterways. The Neptune Americo-Septentrional draws upon both French and foreign cartographic sources, augmented by authentic manuscript plans and aligned with contemporary astronomical observations. The atlas includes 36 charts and plans, showcasing key locations such as Chesapeake Bay, the ports of Boston Harbor, Charleston Harbor, Narragansett Bay, Port Royal, New York Harbor and the Delaware Bay and River to Philadelphia. Other important charts cover Florida, the Gulf Coast and Cape Fear, North Carolina. Notably, William Faden, the preeminent English cartographer, acquired three copies of the atlas, distributing them to influential figures including the hydrographer to the East India Company, the secretary of the admiralty, and King George III. Furthermore, the Dépôt de la Marine, the French governmental body responsible for the atlas's publication, notably sent a copy to American statesman Benjamin Franklin. This gesture symbolizes the intertwining of scientific, military, and diplomatic endeavors in the late 18th century, epitomizing the atlas’s enduring legacy in the annals of cartographic and naval history. Folio. Full contemporary French calf with a trellis-and-dot design, a large gilt device of the French Royal Coat of Arms at the center of both covers, the covers ruled with three-line gilt roll-tool; spine in eight compartments separated by raised bands, red morocco title piece in the second gilt-lettered "NEPT | AMER | SEPTENT", the rest with gilt-tooled floral designs. Contemporary blue paper endpapers. Engraved title, 26 engraved charts on 13 full sheets and 5 half sheets, by Sartine and others. The Dépôt de la Marine, known more formally as the Dépôt des cartes et plans de la Marine, was the central charting institution of France. The centralization of hydrography in France began in earnest when Jean-Baptiste Colbert became First Minister of France in 1661. Under his watch, the first Royal School of Hydrography began operating, as did the first survey of France’s coasts (1670-1689). In 1680, Colbert consolidated various collections of charts and memoirs into a single assemblage, forming the core of sources for what would become the Dépôt. The Dépôt itself began as the central deposit of charts for the French Navy. In 1720, the Navy consolidated its collection with those government materials covering the colonies, creating a single large repository of navigation. By 1737, the Dépôt was creating its own original charts and, from 1750, they participated in scientific expeditions to determine the accurate calculation of longitude. In 1773, the Dépôt received a monopoly over the composition, production, and distribution of navigational materials, solidifying their place as the main producer of geographic knowledge in France. Dépôt-approved charts were distributed to official warehouses in port cities and sold by authorized merchants. The charts were of the highest quality, as many of France’s premier mapmakers worked at the Dépôt in the eighteenth century, including Philippe Bauche, Jacques-Nicolas Bellin, Rigobert Bonne, Jean Nicolas Buache, and Charles-François Beautemps-Beaupré. The Dépôt continued to operate until 1886, when it became the Naval Hydrographic Service. In 1971, it changed names again, this time to the Naval and Oceanographic Service (SHOM). Although its name has changed, its purpose is largely the same, to provide high quality cartographic and scientific information to the France’s Navy and merchant marine."

Although its name has changed, its purpose is largely the same, to provide high quality cartographic and scientific information to the France’s Navy and merchant marine."

The couple had 2 daughters, Kathy and Elizabeth, both born in Kenya. Following the War, he bought Houw Hoek farm in Grabouw, Western Cape. While still in Africa, Furse developed an interest in making pictorial maps. Eventually, Furse and his wife moved to North America where Furse continued to draw. For a time, the couple lived in Laguna Beach, California, USA. Then, in 1962, they moved to the village of Hampton, New Brunswick, Canada, where Furse and his wife, their daughter Kathy, and her husband sculptor John Hooper, were members of the 'Hampton Group’ artists’ community.

"Sole edition of this large-format, pivotal early document in the development of international air travel - complete with all 29 plates and the often-lacking loose map. The principal concern of the British during this period was accelerating air transport between the vast reaches of their empire - and chief among these was the lengthy journey to India, via the Middle East. As noted on p. 5, the maximum range of commercial aircraft in 1926 was a mere 400 miles; perhaps partly for this reason, the existing and proposed air routes include numerous stops for refueling in the oil-rich regions of Syria, Iraq, and Iran. - The stated aim of the Air Ministry was in fact to reduce the journey to India to just 5 days (p. VI), and although bold proposals are put forward and illustrated for giant "airships" with a range of 4,000 miles, the then-current technology limited aircraft to a designated route along the northern coast of the Arabian Gulf. Facing the challenge of "the extreme heat and the height of the Arabian Plateau, both of which tend to reduce the load with which an aeroplane can rise from the ground" (p. 9), the route is amply illustrated on numerous folding maps, from Cairo via Gaza, Rutbah Wells (Iraq), Baghdad, Basra, Bushire, Bandar Abbas, Chahbari, Pasni, Karachi, Hyderabad, etc. - Other chapters cover fascinating proposals for "major air routes" between Ottawa, London, and Kingston, Jamaica; "the use of wireless in air traffic communications" (p. 62); early air routes in Australia and the United States; and so on. The plates include designs for proposed experimental "airships"; photographs of early airports, and maps of meteorological phenomena. Particularly interesting is the "Map Showing Areas in Which Main Imperial Airship Routes Will Probably Develop" (facing p. 74), which indicates that alongside the Transatlantic route, the coasts of the Arabian Gulf (but not the interior) as well as the coasts of Africa will be the next targets of development."
