This copper-plate engraved antique map shows the extent of Chinese Imperial control over the western regions of Taiwan including the western coastlines of Taiwan and the adjacent Chinese mainland of Fujian province. Includes generalized, small-scale coverage of the Penghu Islands (the Pescadores) to the east of Taiwan in the Taiwan Strait. A more detailed look at the Penghu islands is available on another map after de Mailla in our inventory: <b>"Carte de Iles de Pong-hou …".</b>

Looking east, Walker's view takes in the wharf, the waterfront, and the harbor with many sailing vessels. Measures 18" x 14" within the neat lines.

This view is quite scarce on the market. No sales recorded in AMPR; no holdings in WorldCat.

Vineyard Haven, is a working harbor village in the town of Tisbury, Massachusetts a year-round port for Martha’s Vineyard island. Locations in Vineyard Haven that Walker included in his list of references include: the East Chop light; Mansion House; Windmill; sailor's free reading room; and Lagoon Heights. Walker also identifies by name the homes of important Vineyard Haven residents including Dr. William Leach, Captain Benjamin C. Cromwell, Captain Clough, Captain P.L. Smith, and Captain Owens.
<br></br>
The second state of Walker's view of Vineyard Haven is easily identified as it contains two additional location names on the bottom roll of the scroll of references: 'Grove Hill House' and 'Association Hall'. Also, in the upper right quadrant there are numerous street additions and deletions as compared to the first edition. The second edition also contains marginal text denoting the four compass directions.

| $495.00 | Hance-Brothers-and-White | Unrecorded-anthropomorphic-map-human-circulatory-system-quack-cure | Unrecorded persuasive advertisement for quack cure-alls using a map of the human circulatory system. It superimposes the image of a human with red veins and capillaries over a map of the United States. This cover image crosses several collecting categories- medicine, cartography, advertising, and quackery.
<br></br>
The ad, from 1897, comprises the cover of vol. 2 no. 3 of "The Frog", a pamphlet targeted at druggists and proprietors of soda fountains. The "Red Blood Frog" edition of "The Frog", printed entirely in red ink, was published in 1897 by Hance Brothers & White, pharmaceutical chemists, a manufacturer of other cure-all remedies including "Frog in your Throat" lozenges. Philadelphia. Dated within at 1897.
<br></br>
The cover and content of the Red Blood Frog issue was part of a advertising campaign by Hance Brothers & White to promote their line of "blood making goods". These product included sarsaparilla, beef wine and iron, <strong>coca wine</strong>, and elixir celery compound. Wholesale purchasers could even re-brand the product by purchasing custom printed product labels (all in red ink) bearing their own trade information.
<br></br>
By 1906 Congress moved to restrict quack cures like those promoted in this Red Blood Frog edition by passing the Pure Food and Drug Act, which prohibited transportation of impure or contaminated food and drugs in interstate commerce and required truthful product labeling. |

McClellan (Chittyna Exploration Company) in 1898 and 1899 to the Copper River and then on eastward along the Chitina River where large copper lode discoveries were made exploited by the Bonanza Mine and the Nicolai Mine. Some of the parties disputed the ownership of the finds, formed a separate entity (Copper River Mining Company) and brought suit against Chittyna Exploration in 1902. The suit was decided in favor of McClellan and his partners of the Chittyna Exploration Company. In 1903 Stephen Birch consolidated 21 claims as "Alaska Copper and Coal Company", enlisted the help of J.P. Morgan and Daniel Guggenheim, and founded the Kennecott Copper Company.
