Map of North America, Dated 1779 #5829
"A New and Correct Map of North America, with the West India Islands", 1779, by Sayer and Bennett, London. This is a large, rare, and desirable map of colonial North America. It was printed in 4 sections, and measures approximately 40 X 46", with generous margins all around. It is currently set up framed in 2 halves, top and bottom, as can be seen in the photographs. I believe this is the map that is usually referred to as "The Pownall Map", after governor Thomas Pownall, of Massachusetts, and there are many references and websites that carry very detailed information about this map.
The asking price on this map is $7250

17th Century Engraving by DeGheyn of a Soldier #2466
This is an original engraving of a soldier handling his "caliver" (arquebus/musket). It was engraved by Jacob De Gheyn, for his book entitled "The exercise of arms" published in 1608. This is #1-6 titled "Hold wel your match and blow of it". The plate is about 7 1/4" X 10 1/4", with very ample margins. It is in very good condition, and I had it framed by Perry Hopf, who makes wonderful reproduction frames.
It is priced at $485
