Scarce Map Depicting the Territory of Pembina. United States, Pembina. John Bartholomew, General Map of the United States, from Black's General Atlas of the World, 1875 (circa). Printed Color. This scarce map is unique for its depiction of the Territory of Pembina where North Dakota exists today. There was much interest in dividing Dakota Territory in the mid-1870s, and in the Dec. 22nd, 1874 edition of the Sacramento Daily Union under "News of the Morning" is a one sentence note "The Pembina Territory Bill was revived on motion of Boreman" in the U.S. Senate. Bartholomew apparently wanted the jump on other map makers, and thus showed Pembina as a territory. However, Bartholomew does not use a bold font as he does with other states and territories, perhaps recognizing that there was some uncertainty with its status. In later years Bartholomew would depict North Dakota as the Territory of Huron and Lincoln Territory. North and South Dakota were eventually created in 1889.

MAP, England & Wales, Bartholomew
Est: $140 - $170
England & Wales. John Bartholomew, A Map of England and Wales Showing the Distribution of Glacial Erratics and Drift, 1928 (circa). Printed Color. This map shows contours in color and the distribution of the different drifts and erratics in England and Wales due to glacial geology. Drawn on a scale of sixteen miles to one inch. Created by Frederic William Harmer, an honorary member of the Société Géologique de Belgique (Belgian Society of Geology). Published by the Proceedings of the Yorkshire Geological Society. The map is dissected and mounted on linen with self-folding marbled-paper wrappers with a hand-written title label. This is an interesting example in which the map was actually pasted on top of another map, which can be seen along the dissected edges. The keyboard border at right belongs to the original map that was pasted onto the linen. The bottom border of the Glacial Erratics map has been cut off and pasted to fit on the linen. (We are uncertain as to what map exists beneath this one.) Housed in a red cloth-covered slipcase also with a hand-written title label. Date is hand-written on labels.
