An important and valuable MS. There are 335 drawings of horses' bits, bridles, and straps, the figures being of the natural size. Twenty-four of the drawings are most artistically FINISHED IN COLOURS (one of them represents a mule led by a man in rich costume); the rest are in outline. The ornament displayed in the designs of the bits, etc. and the artistic finish of the drawings are very remarkable.

1064 WORLD-MAP, by Alonso de Santa Cruz, drawn and designed in 1539-42 and finished in 1542.

Dahlgreen (in English), published at £2. 16s Stockholm, 1892

The existence of this unique map was only recently made known. It is a work of great Cartographical importance, especially for the American student: Santa Cruz having been the Cosmograpo Mayor of the Royal Department of Charts at Seville. Dahlgren believes that it may be regarded as an exact replica of the Pattern-Map now lost, of which copies were furnished to Spanish seamen sent out by the Crown to America.

Only 100 copies have been reproduced.
