Antique Decorative Coloured Map Egypt, Nubia, Abyssinia and more, 1882
Located in Langweer, NL
This image contains two maps, with the left one being labeled "Egypt" and the right one "Nubia, Abyssinia and the Adjacent Lands." These maps highlight the Nile Valley and surrounding regions.
The maps from the Blackie & Son atlas published in 1882 are interesting for several reasons:
1. **Historical Context**: The year 1882 is significant because it falls within the period of European imperial expansion in Africa. It was also just before the British occupation of Egypt, which began that year. Therefore, the maps serve as historical documents showing the geopolitical state of the region just before a major shift in its colonial status.
2. **Cartographic Style**: The maps reflect the cartographic style of the late 19th century, which often featured detailed engravings and fine detail. They provide a snapshot of the cartographic knowledge and aesthetic of the time.
3. **Geographical Knowledge**: These maps were created during a time when much of Africa's interior was still being explored by Europeans. The representation of features like rivers, mountains, and settlements can tell us about the extent of geographical knowledge at the time.
4. **Cultural Representation**: The way the map represents different regions, peoples, and geographical features can give insights into the cultural and political views of the era. It may reflect the European understanding and biases towards these regions.
5. **Educational Purpose**: Blackie & Son were known for their educational materials...

Arctic Exploration: An Original Map of the North Circumpolar Regions, 1882
Located in Langweer, NL
This map, extracted from the 1882 atlas by Blackie & Son, presents the North Circumpolar Regions in a projection centered on the North Pole, offering a unique view of the Arctic territories. The map's radial lines emanate from the pole, focusing on the northernmost parts of continents and the intricate archipelagos that are scattered across the Arctic Ocean.
The territories of Canada, Greenland, Northern Europe, Russia, and the northern extremities of Asia are portrayed with careful detail, highlighting the geography known to Victorian explorers. Notably, the map's color palette is subdued, with the cold regions depicted in pale hues, while coastlines and political boundaries are traced in warmer tones, providing a stark contrast that emphasizes the frigid environment.
The map likely served purposes both educational and navigational, capturing the extent of polar exploration at the time. Names of seas, straits, and islands honor explorers and patrons of the age of Arctic exploration, and the map also hints at the incomplete knowledge of the era, with some areas less detailed than others, reflecting the limits of exploration and cartographic knowledge of the Arctic region at that time.
Moreover, the map includes longitudinal and latitudinal markers, which would have been crucial for navigation and expedition planning. The inclusion of such detail illustrates the growing interest in polar exploration during the late 19th century...

Located in London, GB
Bruce Talbert (1838-1881) for Gillow and co., a rare and important walnut, amboyna, ebonized, and gilt bedroom suite, each with differing carved rosettes, comprising: a triple mirror door wardrobe, 208cm high, 208cm wide, 58cm deep; a pair of bedside lockers, 85cm high, 38cm wide; and a pair of single bedsteads, 124cm wide Provenance: The famous Argentinian writer and suffragette Victoria Ocampo (1890-1979), bought from her estate and shipped back from Argentina.

His 'Pericles' Gothic sideboard was displayed on their stand at the Paris Exposition Universelle of 1867 where it was the Grand Prix winner. It was at this point that his most prolific period began and also when he started designing furniture for Gillows of Lancaster in 1868. in the same year, he published his very influential first book 'Gothic Forms Applied to Furniture, Metal Work and Decoration for Domestic Purposes', which he dedicated to George Edmund Street. This was followed in 1876 by 'Examples of Ancient and Modern Furniture, Metalwork, Tapestries and Modern Furniture' and in 1881 by 'Fashionable Furniture. Other companies he designed for were Marsh, Jones and Cribb, Jackson and Graham, and for a short time, was a partner with Daniel Cottier. He designed textiles for Templeton's, Warner's, Cowlishaw, and Barbour and Miller; carpet designs for Templeton's and Brinton and Co.; and his wallpaper designs were printed by Jeffrey and Co. He also designed church metalwork and furniture for Cox and Sons...
