This is a large wall map of Cook County, done in 1861 by J.W. Flower. The map was published by S.H. Burhans & J. Van Vechten. It was engraved, printed, colored, and originally mounted by Edward Mendel who was a famous Chicago based (162 W. Lake st.) lithographer and engraver known for his currency designs and early Chicago prints. The map is colored and includes a reference key for railroads, canals, wagon roads, churches, houses, and a complete list of Cook County post offices.

The map includes over 30 inserts of various towns throughout Cook County as well as a business directory list for many of the towns. A large number of the towns in this map have since been unincorporated, renamed, or incorporated into the city of Chicago. For example, the town of Long John and Minnehaha no longer exist. The town of Taylorsport is now known as Glencoe, Brickton is now Park Ridge, and Dunton is now Arlington Heights. Pine Grove is now part of the Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago and Jefferson, once a small settlement of traders, hunters, and farmers, is now a densely populated neighborhood of Chicago known as Jefferson Park. Images of important buildings and places decorate this map throughout. Some of these images include the Women’s College of Northwestern, Bryan Hall, the Tremont House, Graceland Cemetery, and a view of the city from the lakefront. Surrounding the map is a floral vignette border containing twenty advertisements for businesses throughout the cook county including apothecaries, horse veterinarians, brewers, and a horse boarding and sales stable.

Numerous historical features are displayed throughout this map. Just to the north and south of the Chicago are two lines running diagonally from the lake to the southwest of the map. These lines are the start of large Indian boundary lines that run deep into the state of Illinois. These lines came about in 1816 when the Sauk and Fox tribes ceded land within a 20 mile corridor to the U.S. at the Treaty of St. Louis. The land outside the boundary lines was owned by the Native American tribes until the Chicago treaty in 1833. Another interesting historical marker found in the map is the Tomb of Stephen A. Douglas which lies just south of Cottage Grove. Soon after this map was made, the land around the tomb became the site of a Union Army volunteer training center that thousands of Chicago area recruits would soon pass through. As the war went on, the training center became a Confederate soldier prison camp that came to be known as Camp Douglas.

The fact that there are less than 7 examples of this map in current, recorded existence makes this piece a rarity in its truest form. All examples of this map except one are held in various institutions including the Library of Congress, the Chicago History Museum and the Newberry Library. This is the first example of the 1861 Cook County Map by W.L. Flower to ever be offered for public sale.

The map has original color except in the areas of restoration where original paper was missing. The map has been professionally restored with a new canvas backing and wood mounts making it ready for immediate display in any home, office, or lobby.

For the Egyptian priesthood, Hermes was the Greek equivalent of Thoth, the god of scribes and, by extension, the god of law.

In Egyptian cosmology, it was the essential role of the pharaoh/king to uphold the cosmic order and prevent chaos by serving as the intermediary between gods and men. Earthly law was the same concept on a lower plane; it prevented society from descending into chaos. It’s just possible, then, that the serpent staff behind the head of Ptolemy I represents an attempt to develop a visual symbol, in terms of Greek iconography, for the concept of order (Egyptian Ma’at). Ptolemy V was explicitly compared to Hermes “the Great and Great” in an inscription (OGIS I, 90, line 19). The inscription refers to the provision of justice (literally, “the just thing,” which is not quite the same) for all. Huss says this is the only time this comparison was made in this reign.

This coin belongs to one of the earliest Arabian coinages, issued by the kingdom of Lihyan (Dedan Oasis) in what is called Hidjaz today (eastern shore of the Red Sea).

Rx: COS III Victory advancing l. holding wreath and palm.

From the same obverse die as the gold quinarius with reverse PONTIF TR P XIII COS III, Victory advancing left, Trau-2205 = King, pl. 21, 9(a), suggesting the date 210 for our coin too, which in any case cannot have been struck before mid-209 because of its bearded portrait, nor after mid-210 because of its obverse legend omitting BRIT. King-3, to be sure, records three other specimens of our quinarius beside Trau-2256, but (a) the Oxford specimen she quotes, according to C. Clay’s plaster cast of it, is actually an example of her no. 26, and (b) the Vienna and J.

Rx: ADVENTVI - [AVG IVDAEAE] S - C Hadrian raising right hand in greeting standing before altar at which Judaea sacrifices; left and right of Judaea, naked boys facing her and holding palm branches; bull by altar.

Perhaps an unpublished variety: usually the boy before Judaea stands left facing the altar, not right facing Judaea as on our coin. Cayón, Sestercios II, p. 13, illustrates a similar coin, but the reverse is tooled so the details are unreliable. The position of S C on our coin, in field rather than in exergue, is also unusual. The boys accompanying Judaea, who appear in no other “Arrival” type of Hadrian, may refer to Hadrian’s plan to establish a new city called Aelia Capitolina on the site of Jerusalem, which had been destroyed in 70 AD. Judaea’s symbol was the palm tree, which may be the reason why the boy are holding palm branches.

While this coin is worn, it shows a new variety of a rare and very desirable type.

birthday of Rome in 148, but this isolated revival of the type on sestertii fifteen years later is very rare, this being perhaps only the fourth specimen recorded.

Strack knew just two specimens of this sestertius, in Paris and the Vatican; the illustrated Paris specimen, his pl. XV, is from the same obverse die as ours, but a different reverse die. Oxford acquired a third specimen of the type from C. Clay about twenty years ago. CoinArchives Pro includes our actual coin but no others.

No specimens are in Berk photofile, Wildwinds, or CNG Research. Cayón, Sestercios 489, found only Strack’s picture of the Paris specimen to reproduce.

Not in Glasgow or the catalogues of the Vierordt, Trau, Hall, Ryan, Mazzini, Niggeler, Friedrich, or Benz collections. This coin is of exceptional quality and rarity.

Zeus Epikarpios is also attested at several other cities in northern and eastern Asia Minor (Recueil Général, p. 158, note 3), but apparently not numismatically, since that epithet of Zeus is omitted from the index of Historia Numorum, pp. 963-4.

Apparently only the third recorded specimen of this interesting reverse type, which was unknown before the appearance of the Coin Galleries specimen in 2002. As proposed by C. Clay in the Forvm discussion cited above, the Horseman reverse type may refer to Caracalla’s arrival in the East to lead a Parthian campaign in 206 or 207 AD. Our coin belongs to Antioch’s first issue of large bronze coins marked S R, Krzyzanowska’s Group D, and it may be that Antioch introduced this new large denomination in connection with its role as an important stopping point for troops moving across Asia Minor on their way to Syria for that same Parthian campaign. aVF..................................................650 512.

By mistake, Krzyzanowska misattributed this die and several others with Gordian-like portraits to Philip II not I, and she also overlooked the engraver’s error in the obverse legend, which misrenders Philip’s praenomen M(arcus) as N, omitting the required fourth stroke of the letter. aEF........................................................................................................350 524.
