DU VAL, Pierre (1618-1683) - CHAMPLAIN, Samuel de (1567-1635)

(425 x 584 mm sheet). Burden’s State 4, with “ou Nau ECOSSE” erased in Acadia.

was later used by Du Val in 1653 and was a proof state of that map.

The copperplate engraving for this map was originally executed after Champlain by the house of Melchoir Tavernier. Though it is believed that the map was intended for inclusion in Champlain’s 1619 Voyage et descouvertures faites en la Nouvelle France, it was never printed for that work. Du Val acquired the plate in the early 1650s, whereupon he added place names and his own imprint; he first published the map with his imprint in 1653. The map’s association with Champlain wasn’t discovered until 1953, when Lawrence Wroth published a study of an untitled (and apparently unfinished) map of New France bearing the inscription “faict par le Sr de Champlain. 1616,” which the John Carter Brown Library had recently acquired. Wroth was able to demonstrate that it had been pulled from the same copperplate that

The 1616 map depicts Champlains’ dicoveries in New France after the publication of his 1612 map. According to Burden, “in the intervening years he made probably the most epic journey of them all.” Less finished than the 1612 map, it illustrates possible routes via waterways to the Pacific; it also includes the Chesapeake Bay, presumably drawn from John Smith’s 1612 map. SCARCE. Burden describes “a total of six states. All are rare, the fourth being identified by the author is previously unrecorded.” According to American Book Prices Current, only two copies dated 1664 have appeared at auction in over 40 years.

Native American scenes, an alligator, sea monsters, dwellings, hunting scenes and nature scenes.

The Mississippi is marked, following La Salle’s journeys to its mouth in 1681-1687, and the bordering territory is boldly marked La Louisiana. Ambitious French aspirations can be read in the title Canada - Nuova Francia across nearly all of the lands east of the Mississippi, apart from a central coastal strip and the territories of Carolina and Florida in the south. Along the conjectural course of the River Ohio is the suggestion that this has its source in Lake Frontenac, i.e. Lake Erie” (Shirley).

(Some toning or browning, paritcularly to folds.) Following the Louisiana Purchase of 1803, westward expansion became one of the defining themes of the 19th century. Travel was slow and cumbersome, and in the early years took one of two forms: over land using horse and wagon, or by sea, around the southern tip of South America. Railroads, which were used in the East starting in the 1830s, quickly became the obvious and ideal choice to quickly transport people and freight. After a few failed attempts to identify the best route, Congress authorized Secretary of War Jefferson Davis in 1853 to oversee the U.S. Army Corps of Topographical Engineers in four expeditions to find the best route for a transcontinental railroad. They published their data between 1855 and 1861. Property from the Collection of Kenneth Nebenzahl, Inc., Glencoe, Illinois

railroad in the world, running 705 miles from Cairo, Illinois to Chicago, and it features prominently in Palmatary’s view in the lower left, with tracks on trestles protected by breakwaters and dikes over a strip of land several hundred feet out in Lake Michigan. The Illinois Central originally intended to enter Chicago from the south, and requested permission to lay track along the lakefront to reach the city’s inner harbor. They were not granted permission, however, because the section of lakefront (also visible lower left) had been designated for public use in 1836 by the Illinois and Michigan Canal Commission (marked “Public Ground-A Common to remain Forever Open, Clear, Free of Any Buildings, or Other Obstruction Whatever” on a real estate map from 1836). After months of fighting, the City Council granted the Illinois Central the land in Lake Michigan, which led to the northern terminus for the railroad in the old Fort Dearborn reservation.

Visible in the lower right is an area called “The Sands,” near presentday Streeterville, notorious in its time for having a high concentration of brothels, gambling dens, saloons and inexpensive motels; the Sands became a point of refuge for Chicagoans in 1871 during the Great Chicago Fire. The lower margin includes a legend of notable places in the city, including Richmond House, the U.S. Marine Hospital, Grain and Freight Houses, the McCormick Reaper Factory, the “Illi. & Diversy” Brewery, and the Chicago Water Works. The view includes street names, homes, churches, and points of industrial interest, and was lithographed by Christian Inger, or Herline & Hensel in Philadelphia.

All lots should be viewed personally by prospective buyers or their agents to evaluate the condition of the property offered for sale due to the highly subjective nature of condition reports. Bidding at Auction The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser. In addition to the hammer price, the buyer agrees to pay Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. a buyer’s premium as well as any applicable taxes.

Bidding generally opens at half the low estimate and advances in the following order, although the auctioneer may vary the bidding increments during the course of the auction. The normal bidding increments are:

$0 - $200 ............................................. $10 $200 - $500 ............................................. $25 $500 - $1,000 .......................................... $50 $1,000 - $2,000 ........................................ $100 $2,000 - $5,000 ........................................ $200 $5,000 - $10,000 ...................................... $500 $10,000 - $20,000 ................................... $1,000 $20,000 - $50,000 ................................... $2,000 $50,000 - $100,000 ................................. $5,000 $100,000 - $200,000 ............................... $10,000 Over > $200,000 .........

CONDITIONS OF SALE LESLIE HINDMAN AUCTIONEERS, INC. AS AGENT

The lots listed in this catalogue will be offered by Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. as owner or as agent for consignor(s) subject to the following terms and conditions. By bidding at auction you agree to be bound by these Conditions of Sale.

BEFORE THE SALE

Prospective buyers are strongly advised to personally examine any property in which they are interested before the auction takes place. Condition reports are usually available on request, on lots with a low estimate of $300 and above. All lots are sold “AS IS” and without recourse and neither Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. nor its consignor(s) makes any warranties or representations, express or implied with respect to such lots. Neither Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. nor its consignor(s) makes any express or implied warranty or representation of any kind or nature with respect to merchantability, fitness for purpose, correctness of the catalogue or other description of the physical condition, size, quality, rarity, importance, medium, material, genuineness, attribution, provenance, period, culture, source, origin, exhibitions, literature or historical significance of any lot sold. The absence of any reference to the condition of a lot does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear, imperfections or the effects of aging. No statement, whether written or oral, and whether made in the catalogue, or in supplements to the catalogue, an advertisement, a bill of sale, a salesroom posting or announcement, the remarks of an auctioneer, or otherwise, shall be deemed to create any warranty, representation or assumption of liability. Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. and its consignor(s) make no warranty or representation, express or implied, that the purchaser will acquire any copyright or reproduction rights to any lot sold. Leslie Hindman Auctioneers Inc. expressly reserves the right to reproduce any image of the lots sold in the catalogue.

AT THE SALE Refusal of Admission Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. has the right, at our complete discretion, to refuse admission to the premises or participation in any auction and to reject any bid. Registration before Bidding A prospective buyer must complete and sign a registration form and provide identification before bidding. We may require bank or other financial references. Bidding as Principal When making a bid, a bidder is accepting personal liability to pay the purchase price, including the buyer’s premium, all applicable taxes and all other applicable charges, unless it has been explicitly agreed upon in writing with Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. before the commencement of the sale that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc., and that Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. will only look to the principal for payment. Absentee Bids We will use reasonable efforts to carry out written bids given to us at least 24 hours prior to the sale for the convenience of clients who are not present at the auction in person, by an agent or by telephone. Bids must be placed in U.S. dollars. If we receive written bids on a particular lot for identical amounts, and these are the highest bids on the lot at the auction, it will be sold to the person whose written bid was received and accepted first. Execution of written bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the sale and we do not accept liability for failing to execute a written bid or for errors and omissions in connection with the written bid. Telephone Bids On lots with a low estimate of $300 and above and if a prospective buyer makes arrangements with us prior to the commencement of the sale we will use reasonable efforts to contact them to enable them to participate in the bidding by telephone and we do not accept liability for failure to do so or for errors and omissions in connection with telephone bidding. These telephone bids may be recorded at the discretion of Leslie Hindman Auctioneers.

Online Bids We will use reasonable efforts to carry out online bids and do not accept liability for equipment failure, inability to access the Internet or software malfunctions related to the execution of online bids. Reserves Some lots in the sale are subject to a reserve which is the confidential minimum price below which such lot will not be sold. The reserve will not exceed the low estimate of the lot. Reserves are agreed upon with consignors or, in the absence thereof, the absolute discretion of Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. The auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the seller. The auctioneer may continue to bid on behalf of the seller up to the amount of the reserve, either by placing consecutive bids or by placing bids in response to other bidders. With respect to lots that are offered without reserve, unless there are already competing bids, the auctioneer, in his or her discretion, will generally open the bidding at half of the low estimate for the lot. In the absence of a bid at that level, the auctioneer may proceed backwards at his or her discretion until a bid is recognized, and then continue up from that amount. Auctioneer’s Discretion The auctioneer has the right at his or her absolute and sole discretion to refuse any bid, to advance the bidding in such a manner as he or she may decide, to withdraw any lot, and in the case of error or dispute, and whether during or after the sale, to determine the successful bidder, to continue the bidding, to cancel the sale or to reoffer and resell the item in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, our sale record is conclusive. Successful Bid The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser. In the case of a tie bid, the winning bidder will determined by the auctioneer at his or her sole discretion. In the event of a dispute between bidders, the auctioneer has final discretion to determine the successful bidder or to reoffer the lot in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, the Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. sale record shall be conclusive. Title passes upon the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer to the highest acknowledged bidder subject to the Conditions of Sale set forth herein, and the bidder assumes full risk and responsibility.

In addition, a defaulting purchaser will be deemed to have granted us a security interest in, and we may retain as collateral security for such purchaser’s obligations to us, any property in our possession owned by such purchaser.
