Very good. Blank on verso. Original platemark visible. Size 11.5 x 16 Inches. A fine example of Adam and Charles Black's 1840 map of europe. The map covers the continent in its entirety from the North Atlantic Ocean to the Caspian Sea and from the Arctic Sea to the Mediterranean Sea, including Iceland. It shows the Austrian empire at its height, the many states of the German Confederacy, and a pre Garibaldi Italy split into numerous small duchies and states. It notes the legendary and semi-mythical whirlpool known as the Lofoten Maelstrom (Malstrom) in northwestern Norway. This map was created at a time in history that witnessed the unification of Italy and saw the British empire rise to its peak. It was also a time of decline for the Ottoman empire. This map was engraved by S. Hall for issue in the 1840 edition of Black's General Atlas . References: Rumsey 2305.012 (1854 edition). Philips (atlases) 4334.

Very good. Blank on verso. Original platemark visible. Size 16 x 11.5 Inches. A fine example of Adam and Charles Black's 1840 map of Netherlands. The map covers the United Kingdom of Netherlands including Holland and Belgium from the North Sea to the Duchy of Luxembourg. This map covers the Netherlands before the Belgian Revolution, when Belgium was still part of the United Kingdom of Netherlands. In 1830, Belgium seceded from the United Kingdom of Netherlands, but the Netherlands recognized this independence only in 1839 with the signing of the Treaty of London. This map was engraved by S. Hall for issue in the 1840 edition of Black's General Atlas . References: Rumsey 2305.026 (1854 edition). Philips (atlases) 4334.

Very good. Blank on verso. Original platemark visible. Size 11.5 x 16 Inches. A fine example of Adam and Charles Black's 1840 map of Switzerland. The map covers the entire country and shows the division by Cantons from Vaud to Grisons. As this map was issued, Switzerland was undergoing a rapid social and economic change known as the Regeneration Movement. Following the French July Revolution in 1830, the Swiss began assemble and call for fair representation and new Cantonal constitutions. Many of the cantons subsequently established representative governments and instituted freedom of the press and trade. This map was engraved by S. Hall for issue in the 1840 edition of Black's General Atlas . References: Rumsey 2305.024 (1854 edition). Philips (atlases) 4334.

Very good. Blank on verso. Original platemark visible. Size 16 x 11.5 Inches. A fine example of Adam and Charles Black's 1840 map of Africa, northern and southern parts.

The lower map covers modern day South Africa and includes the cities and towns of Clanwilliam, Beaufort, Worchester, Cape Town, George, Uitenhage, Stellenbosch, Somerset and Graaff-Reinet. The map of North Africa depicts the Tuat, a vast desert region, marked with numerous oases. The desert area is largely unmapped, simply identified as 'A dry Country abounding in Dates.' The map of South Africa depicts the regions of the various of the Bushmen tribes. This map was engraved by S. Hall for issue in the 1840 edition of Black's General Atlas .

Very good. Blank on verso. Original platemark visible. Size 11.5 x 16 Inches. A fine example of Adam and Charles Black's 1840 map of Asia. The map covers the entire Asian continent from the Arctic Ocean to the Indian Ocean and from the Mediterranean Sea to the North Pacific Ocean. It shows Turkey, Arabia, Persia, the Indian subcontinent, Russia, the Chinese empire, Japan and parts of Southeast Asia. Also shows the uninhabited island of Nova Zembla in the Arctic Ocean. In the early 19th century Asia was coming under increasingly imperial european sway. In India full British rule allowed england to attain naval and trade supremacy throughout the eastern Hemisphere. Using India as a springboard, the english traded wool and Indian cotton for Chinese tea and textiles. By the 1830s oversaturation of the Chinese market slackened Chinese demand for most British products. To make up for the trade deficit, British merchants introduced Indian opium to China. Addictive and cheap, Opium became Britain's most profitable and important crop in world markets, pouring into China faster than tea poured into Britain. Opium addiction and its attendant social ills reached such catastrophic levels that the Chinese government took action and destroyed British opium stores in Canton. As this threatened english commercial interests, the crown responded, sparking the Opium Wars of 1839-1842. The superior British forces took complete control of Canton, occupied Shanghai, and blockaded Chinese ports, forcing the Chinese to sign the 1842 Treaty of Nanking. This unequal treaty (the first of many between european powers and China) granted Britain extensive trading rights in China. This map was engraved by S. Hall for issue in the 1840 edition of Black's General Atlas . References: Rumsey 2305.040 (1854 edition). Philips (atlases) 4334.
