James' pick: we don't always have maps of the Bronx, but when we do, we have super rare maps drawn up by German-American civil engineer Wilhelm Klein on behalf of American preservationist and ur-NIMBY John Jay McKelvey featuring the innovative architectural designs of Robert Gardner. A lot of the houses pictured here are still there - is one of them yours? #spuytenduyvil #highpointonthehudson #riverdale #robertwgardner #johnjaymckelvey #raremaps #rareantiquemaps #geographicusmaps #li #zip10463 #forsomepeoplethisisupstate (at Geographicus Rare Antique Maps) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8cUEvlJqdz/?igshid=1adyzj0mm3xgl

Guys, this one is nuts. 1893 real estate in San Francisco, (Sutro Heights, now known as Vista del Mar) owned by the future mayor, sold by a real estate huckster who three years later would be on the lam for embezzling FIFTY GRAND in 1896 dollars... mostly from his wife. Yes, she divorced him for that. And when the dust settled, he almost died in the Klondike rush. Super rare, because the printer's shop burned to the ground the year it was printed. So much winning! Maps are full of stories like this. #realestatescamming #sanfrancisco #vistadelmar #raremaps #antiquemaps #geographicusmaps #li (at Geographicus Rare Antique Maps) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8SR5aDJt4Q/?igshid=1p5t73y7efnly

James' pick is a gorgeous, original color example of Mercator's map of the arctic (here in its second state, printed in 1613 for Jodocus Hondius' edition of the atlas. James loves evidence that the maps were used and seen as important by their contemporaries: witness the ms. notation highlighting the important new Dutch discoveries in the arctic, added to the map by Hondius. #antiquemaps #raremaps #geographicusmaps #li #arctic #northeastpassage #marginalia #arcticmaps #northpole mercator #visitfrisland (at Geographicus Rare Antique Maps) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5s1GR7JOAz/?igshid=1eg5k31to4chi
