It includes three folding maps.  The work is an account of Anson's famous circumnavigation of the world.

Anson's circumnavigation was strictly a military expedition though, and its intent was to disrupt Spanish commerce. \"Anson’s voyage is remembered as a classic tale of endurance and leadership in the face of fearful disasters, but to the British public of 1744 it was the treasure of the galleon, triumphantly paraded through the streets of London, which did something to restore national self-esteem battered by an unsuccessful war.\" (ODNB)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“This famous and unfortunate expedition, consisting at the start of eight ships, was sent under the command of George Anson at the beginning of the war with Spain, to harass the Spaniards on the western coast of South America. Seven ships were lost around Cape Horn and on the coast of Chile and out of 900 men, 600 perished. The primary object of the expedition was not attained, but by the capture of the Manila Galleon near China, Anson and the surviving members of his crew reached England much the richer. This account is the official one… It is a model of what such literature should be.” (Cox I, 49)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trillium Rare Prints","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43765170307146,"sku":"anson-voyage","price":750.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0712\/7960\/7882\/files\/anson-voyage-scaled.jpg?v=1783283178"},{"product_id":"baur","title":"Johann Wilhelm Baur's Iconographia - Volume with 146 Engravings","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eArtist or Author: \u003c\/b\u003eJohann Wilhelm Baur\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eWork: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cem\u003eIconographia complectens in se, passionem, miracula, vitam Christi universam…\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eDate of Publication: \u003c\/b\u003e1670-1671\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eStyle: \u003c\/b\u003eVolume Bound in Full Period Vellum with 146 Engravings\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePaper Size: \u003c\/b\u003e~ 12 3\/4\" by 11\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition: \u003c\/b\u003eThe work is in very good condition overall.

All of the plates were printed by Charles Hullmandel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe volume is bound in 20th century dark green Morocco, intricately gilt boards and spine with 6 raised bands, all edges gilt. There are 52 originally hand-colored lithographs and one uncolored lithograph done by G. Scharf. The title page, dedciation, preface, introduction, and list of plates are present.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany consider this work to contain the most stunning images Gould ever produced. The toucans are represented with true-to-life details. Rich, luminous colors and splendid composition combine to make the Toucans come to life on the page.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGould was the foremost bird artist and publisher in Great Britain, publishing over 15 folio sets. He employed the best artists of his day to complete his works. A Monograph of the Ramphastidae features lithographs after Gould himself, his wife Elizabeth, Edward Lear (10), H. C. Richter, and W. Hart. Lear's stunning images for this work are considered some of his best zoological renderings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe toucan family is limited to Mexico, Central and South America and some West Indian islands. The first time that any member of the family was described was by Gonzalo Fernandez de Oviedo y Valdes in his \"de la natural hystoria de las Indias\" (Toledo, 1526, chapter 42), in 1555 Pierre Belon included an illustration of its beak in his \"L'Histoire de la nature des oyseaux\" (Paris, 1555, p.184). Andre Thevet first used the name 'Toucan' with a long description, and a woodcut of a whole bird, in his \"Singularitez de la France\" (Paris, 1555, pp.88-90). The Latin name \"Burhynchus\" or \"Ramphestes\" (in reference to the size of the beak) was suggested by Conrad Gesner (\"Icones Avium\", 1560, p.130), and Linnaeus later adopted Aldrovandus' corrupted form of the latter (\"Ramphastos\") which is how the family was still recognized at the time of the publication of the present image.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJohn Gould created nearly 3000 hand-colored plates of animals in his extensive career. Gould gained much of his knowledge by observation and experience and contributed greatly to scientific knowledge at the time. Gould is believed to have done the original sketches for all of his plates. Even at the time of publication, Gould’s plates were very expensive and only sold to a small set of subscribers. Due to the limited subscriber list, the plates remain rare and of high value for collectors today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProvenance: Charles Elliot Perkins (1840-1907) an American Businessman and President of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trillium Rare Prints","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43765687517258,"sku":"gould-toucan-volume","price":69500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0712\/7960\/7882\/files\/gould-toucan-volume-scaled.jpg?v=1783282663"},{"product_id":"gronovius","title":"Gronovius's Thesaurus Graecarum Antiquitatum - 13 Volumes with 420 Full Page Engravings","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eArtist or Author: \u003c\/b\u003eJacobus Gronovius\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eWork: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cem\u003eThesaurus Graecarum Antiquitatum…\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eDate of Publication: \u003c\/b\u003e1697-1702\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eStyle: \u003c\/b\u003e13 Volumes with 420 Full Page Engravings\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePaper Size: \u003c\/b\u003e~ 9 1\/2\" by 15 1\/2\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition: \u003c\/b\u003eThe work is in very good to excellent condition.

On 16 occasions \"bonus\" plates of original designs by noted artists were also included. Each lithograph features the blind embossed stamp of Maitres de l'Affiche designed by Cheret. Celebrated artists of the time contributed to the work including Steinlen, Mucha, Toulouse-Lautrec, Bonnard, Forain, Grasset, Meunier, Louis Rhead, Dudley Hardy, Beggarstaff, Edward Penfield et al.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“At the time posters posed a problem which, moreover, has still not been solved: how to keep and enjoy a collection consisting of very large prints which one has to preserve rolled or flat in some cabinet... [This book] provided a reduction of the most valued and consequently the most widely known posters, thus enabling collectors and other interested people to examine quickly and easily the main works of the current advertising production.” (Allan Weill)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJules Cheret was considered the father of poster art. \"He dominated the series, with one in every four Maitres by him, the first in each monthly instalment, and 7 of the Special plates, a total of 67. With over 1000 poster designs to his credit, his large representation in the series is justified, although some critics have pointed out that, as the artistic director, he may have been biased towards selecting his own work.\" (Appelbaum p.iii) Cheret demonstrated a unique combination of artistic, technical, and entrepreneurial talent that spearheaded the poster industry. He opened his own print shop in 1866 in Paris and from 1881 on his shop operated as part of the Chaix firm which gave us \u003cem\u003eLes Maitres de l'Affiche\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAmong the most sought after plates in the work are the \"Job\" and \"Moulin Rouge\" by Toulouse Lautrec. Rennert noted of the \"Job\" by Mucha that \"more than any other work of Mucha's, this beauty established him as the master of convoluted hair and the creator of unforgettable popular images; the poster was used for years in many variants all over the world, sometimes with marginal text in various languages. A classic by any standard.\" (Rennert, PAI-XLIX 389) \"Jane Abdy called it \"a secular icon,\" and indeed it is a magnificent production, considering that it advertises cigarette paper. \"The background, in a dull imperial purple is a perfect foil for the golden curls of the smoking girl, whose locks are spread over the poster like the delicate filigree work of an Indian bracelet\"(Abdy, p.136)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis art subscription was created during the Belle Epoque period in France. \"There was nothing exclusive about the 'joie de vivre' that swept Paris, at a delirious pace, out of the 19th century into the 20th. As Victor Hugo had observed, the city lived by, and for, the whole human race. Haussman's great boulevards had opened up a spacious stage where Paris made a spectacle of herself by day and night. Outdoors and indoors the walls of buildings flowered with posters that took their themes from the passing show of 'La Vie Parisenne.' Advertising never knew happier days. The most ephemeral of the arts has left us with a vision of the 'good old days' that vanished forever in the gunsmoke of 1914. Those gay nineties and naughty noughts that will always be remembered as 'La Belle Epoque.'(The beautiful era)\" (Horizon p. 97)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"By the 1890s the streets of every great metropolis were enlivened by large colourful posters (see The Great Poster Movement). The poster had not only caught the fancy of the broad public, but its best examples were already being regarded as works of art (specifically, as fine prints) to be exhibited, reviewed in journals, collected and reprinted in a manageable form. In the last five years of the century, the Imprimerie Chaix was to play great part in codifying, hallowing and perpetuating the ebullient period of 'La Belle Epoque.' It was in those years that the firm published \u003cem\u003eLes Maitres de l'Affiche (Masters of the Poster)\u003c\/em\u003e reduced lithographic versions, in authentic colours, of the best posters of Europe and America, by more than 90 great artists, posters that bring the period to life.\" (Appelbaum p.iii)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trillium Rare Prints","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43765752201290,"sku":"maitres-affiches-work","price":52500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0712\/7960\/7882\/files\/pic-1-Copy-scaled.jpg?v=1783351257"},{"product_id":"millais-ducks","title":"Millais's ..British..
