Antique print titled 'Gezigt op het eiland Rotterdam'. View of Rotterdam Island, Pacific. Originates from 'Reizen Rondom de Waereld door James Cook (..)'. Rotterdam or nowadays Nomuka is a small island in the southern part of the Ha?apai group of islands in the Kingdom of Tonga. It is part of the Nomuka Group of islands, also called the ?Otu Mu?omu?a. Nomuka, is 7 square kilometres in area and contains a large, brackish lake (Ano Lahi) in the middle, and also three other smaller lakes—Ano Ha'amea, Ano Fungalei, and Molou. There are approximately 400-500 inhabitants who subsist on fishing, farming, and remittances from family members abroad. The island has a secondary school, two primary schools, and a kindergarten. It also has seven churches. The island is accessible by boat only. Boats leave weekly from Nuku?alofa and Lifuka, Ha?apai. There is one guesthouse on the island, and three or four small fale koloa, or convenience stores. It is also home to the Royal Nomuka Yacht Club Notable historic visitors include Abel Tasman, Captain Cook, Captain Bligh, and William Mariner. The Dutch Abel Tasman made the first European discovery of the island on 24 January 1643. A party went ashore to get water, and the description of the huge lake they brought back afterwards leaves little doubt about the identification. Tasman called it Rotterdam island, after the city of Rotterdam, a major port in the Netherlands, and noted in his maps the indigenous name of Amamocka, a misspelling of ?a Nomuka, ?a being a subject-indicating article. We also find the name of Amorkakij for Nomuka iki.[1] Captain Bligh in the Bounty spent 3 days wooding and watering at Nomuka in April 1789. The Mutiny on the Bounty occurred the day after they left. Nomuka is known for raising up the greatest number of church leaders for the major Christian denominations in Tonga such as Rev. Sione Lepa To'a the former president of the Free Wesleyan Church of Tonga, Rev. Seluipepeli Mafi and his son Rev Dr Feke Mafi as both former presidents of the Church of Tonga, and Pastor Tetileti Pahulu, a former president of the Seventh Day Adventist...

Antique print Australia titled 'Gezigt van de Rivier Endeavour op de Kust van Nieuw-Holland'. View of an encampent on the shore of the Endeavour river on the coast of Australia where the Endeavour boat was beached. Originates from 'Reizen Rondom de Waereld door James Cook (..)'. HMS Endeavour was a British Royal Navy research vessel that Lieutenant James Cook commanded to Australia and New Zealand on his first voyage of discovery from 1768 to 1771. She was launched in 1764 as the collier Earl of Pembroke, with the Navy purchasing her in 1768 for a scientific mission to the Pacific Ocean and to explore the seas for the surmised Terra Australis Incognita or "unknown southern land". Commissioned as His Majesty's Bark Endeavour, she departed Plymouth in August 1768, rounded Cape Horn and reached Tahiti in time to observe the 1769 transit of Venus across the Sun. She then set sail into the largely uncharted ocean to the south, stopping at the islands of Huahine, Bora Bora, and Raiatea west of Tahiti to allow Cook to claim them for Great Britain. In September 1769, she anchored off New Zealand, becoming the first European vessel to reach the islands since Abel Tasman's Heemskerck 127 years earlier. In April 1770, Endeavour became the first European ship to reach the east coast of Australia, with Cook going ashore at what is now known as Botany Bay. Endeavour then sailed north along the Australian coast. She narrowly avoided disaster after running aground on the Great Barrier Reef, and Cook had to throw her guns overboard to lighten her. Endeavour was beached on the Australian mainland for seven weeks to permit rudimentary repairs to her hull. Resuming her voyage, she limped into port in Batavia in October 1770, her crew sworn to secrecy about the lands that they had visited. From Batavia Endeavour continued westward, rounded the Cape of Good Hope on 13 March 1771 and reached the English port of Dover on 12 July, having been at sea for nearly three years. The ship was largely forgotten after her Pacific voyage, spending the next three years hauling troops and cargo to and from the Falkland Islands. She was renamed in 1775 after being sold into private hands, and used to transport timber from the Baltic. Rehired as a British troop transport during the American War of Independence, she was finally scuttled in a blockade of Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island in 1778. Historical evidence indicates the ship was sunk just north of Goat Island in Newport Harbor, along with four other British transports. Relics from Endeavour are displayed at maritime museums worldwide, including an anchor and six of her cannon. A replica of Endeavour was launched in 1994 and is berthed alongside the Australian National Maritime Museum in Sydney Harbour. The NASA Space Shuttle...

The early 19th century was a period of westward expansion and the establishment of new states. - Canada: Canada was divided into British colonies, including Upper Canada (Ontario) and Lower Canada (Quebec). The British maintained control over these territories following the American Revolution. - Mexico: Mexico was part of the Spanish Empire, known as New Spain. It would gain independence from Spain in 1821. 2. Central and South America: - Spanish Colonies: Much of Central and South America was under Spanish colonial rule. Significant regions included New Granada (Colombia), Peru, and the Viceroyalty of the Rio de la Plata (Argentina). - Portuguese Brazil: Brazil was a Portuguese colony and the largest territory in South America. It would gain independence from Portugal in 1822. - Independence Movements: The early 19th century was marked by independence movements across Latin America, led by figures such as Simón Bolívar and José de San Martín, which resulted in the creation of new nations. 3. Caribbean: - The Caribbean islands were controlled by various European powers, including Spain, France, Great Britain, and the Netherlands.

This is an original antique map titled "Carte de la Turquie d'Europe," which depicts the European territories of the Ottoman Empire. The map features detailed geographical and political boundaries, showcasing various regions, cities, rivers, and mountains within the Ottoman European territories. The map was created by Pierre Antoine Tardieu, a renowned French engraver, steel engraver, and cartographer known for his high-quality work. Map Details: - **Title**: Carte de la Turquie d'Europe - **Creator**: Pierre Antoine Tardieu (1784-1869) - **Publication Date**: Early 19th century - **Dimensions**: Approximately 34.5 x 43.5 cm (13.5 x 17.25 inches) - **Features**: The map includes a detailed representation of the European territories of the Ottoman Empire, with place names, rivers, mountains, and regions clearly marked. The title cartouche is located in the upper left corner, and the mile scale is presented in the lower left. Around the year 1800, the region referred to as "European Turkey" or "Ottoman Europe" was a significant part of the Ottoman Empire, which was one of the most powerful empires in the world at the time. Here are some key aspects of European Turkey during this period: ### Geographic Scope European Turkey included a large part of Southeastern Europe, encompassing modern-day: - Greece - Bulgaria - Romania (specifically the regions of Dobruja and parts of Wallachia) - Serbia - Albania - Montenegro - Bosnia and Herzegovina - Parts of Croatia, Macedonia, and Hungary Political Structure - **Ottoman Administration**: The region was governed by the Ottoman administrative system, which divided territories into provinces (vilayets) and smaller administrative units (sanjaks). Each province was overseen by a governor (pasha) appointed by the Sultan. - **Autonomy and Vassal States**: Some areas within European Turkey had varying degrees of autonomy or were vassal states. For example, Wallachia and Moldavia (in modern-day Romania) were vassal principalities that retained local rulers under Ottoman suzerainty. Society and Demographics - **Ethnic Diversity**: The region was extremely diverse, home to numerous ethnic groups, including Turks, Greeks, Bulgarians, Serbs, Albanians, Vlachs (Romanians), and Jews, among others. - **Religious Diversity**: There was significant religious diversity, with Islam being the dominant religion due to Ottoman rule, but large Christian (Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholic) and Jewish populations coexisted. Economy - **Agriculture**: The economy was largely agrarian, with agriculture being the primary occupation. Key crops included grains, tobacco, and cotton. - **Trade and Commerce**: European Turkey was strategically important for trade, connecting the Mediterranean with Central Europe and the Black Sea. Major cities like Constantinople (modern-day Istanbul), Thessaloniki, and Belgrade were key commercial hubs. Culture - **Cultural Influence**: The region was a melting pot of various cultures, influenced by Byzantine, Slavic, and Ottoman traditions. This mix was reflected in architecture, cuisine, music, and customs. - **Education and Language**: The official language of administration was Ottoman Turkish, but many local languages were spoken. Education was often conducted in religious institutions, with different communities maintaining their own schools. Challenges and Conflicts - **Internal Strife**: The Ottoman Empire faced numerous internal challenges, including administrative inefficiency, corruption, and local uprisings. - **External Threats**: The empire was also under pressure from external forces, particularly from the Habsburg Empire, Russia, and later from nationalist movements within the Balkans, which sought independence or autonomy from Ottoman rule. Decline of Ottoman Power By 1800, the Ottoman Empire was experiencing a gradual decline, which would intensify throughout the 19th century. This period saw increasing nationalist sentiments among various ethnic groups within European Turkey, leading to uprisings and eventual wars of independence, such as the Serbian Revolution (1804-1835) and the Greek War of Independence (1821-1829). Overall, European Turkey around 1800 was a complex and diverse region under the Ottoman Empire's waning control, characterized by a rich tapestry of cultures, economic activities, and political structures. Condition Overview: 1. **Paper Quality**: The map exhibits signs of aging, such as yellowing along the edges, which is typical for documents of this age. The paper remains in good condition without major tears or damage. 2. **Edges and Corners**: The edges are slightly worn, with minor fraying and a few small tears that do not significantly impact the map's readability or aesthetic value. 3. **Center Fold**: There is a visible center fold, common for maps that were folded for storage or publication. The fold is in good condition without significant wear but with splits on both sidess. 4. **Color and Print Quality**: The colors used to outline the boundaries remain vibrant and clear. The print quality is excellent, with sharp, legible text and detailed illustrations. 5. **Staining and Spots**: There are a few spots and stains, particularly near the edges and along the fold. These do not obscure any critical details of the map. Historical and Artistic Value: Pierre Antoine Tardieu was known for his meticulous craftsmanship and contributions to cartography. His work drew the attention of prominent figures such as Alexander von Humboldt...
