Kent
London: J. Cary, 1793. An engraved map of Kent, hand coloured in outline. The detail from Cary's atlas for Kent is visible and legible to the verso. Framed in a simple pale green mounting board. Protected by acid free plastic. John Cary worked from London as a mapmaker, engraver and publisher, towards the last quarter of the 18th century up to around 1830. His "New and Correct English Atlas", first published around 1776, was a benchmark in British topography. He used Copper plates for all his work, despite steel engraving becoming more common at this stage.
Condition: Very nice clean condition. There is fractional foxing to the edge of the written page (verso) the map itself is clean and tidy with the merest hint of darkening. A couple of tiny marks not affecting detail.

Photograph of the inside of the Mezquita de Córdoba
Cordoba (Spain): NA, 1880. An attractive photograph of the pillars inside the Mezquita de Córdoba (The mosque). By an unknown photographer. Circa 1880-1890. Pasted onto a stiff grey mounting card, with calligraphic title beneath ("Del inre af Kathedralen i Cordova"). It bears the number 8 in the negative, so may be a tourist photograph. The photograph is in good condition with a couple of small nicks to the edges. The mounting card is in good clean condition. Dating from this period, it is difficult to distinguish between and albumen print and an early silver gelatin card mounted photograph. We lean towards the latter. Photograph size is 220mm x 280mm. The mount size is 345mm x 410mm.
