Quin - Pair of Maps of the Roman Empire
Included in this lot:
Map of AD 395 The Division of the Roman Empire
AD 1 The Roman Empire in the Augustan Age
Description of the work:
This unique historical map is from Edward Quin's An Atlas of Universal History or An historical atlas: in a series of maps of the world known at different periods. The work was published in London and Glasgow by Richard Girffin and Company circa 1859. The map is very decorative and executed in aquatint by the master engraver Sidney Hall.
Quin presented the maps from different periods of time and as seen through the clouds. The clouds break further to represent increased knowledge of the known work.
Edward Quin explained in the preface: “The present volume is intended to place before the student a series of Progressive Maps, conveying at a glance the History of the World at various distinct episodes. The information thus presented – extending from era of the Deluge to the Peace of Paris in 1856 – is such as only could be obtained by consulting an almost endless variety of authorities.”
The work is in very good to excellent condition overall. There is a bent corner at the upper left corners of each map. There may be a few minor imperfections to be expected with age. Please review the image carefully for condition and contact us with any questions.
