Map measuring 44" x 33�" partially glued down as issued to heavy card stock bifolium measuring 14�" x 9" and with two pages of text and images on map's verso. Very good: minimal wear to the map which has a few insignificant spots of staining, a few small separations at intersections and a 3" jagged internal tear intersecting the large N and G in MONGOLIA. Bifolium with a 3" split at top of spine and �" split at bottom, light spotting and edgewear; pages lightly toned with some dogears and scattered spotting. This is a large map of East Asia that doubled as a promotional for the Java-China-Japan Line (JCJL). JCJL was a Dutch-owned company, established in 1902 to serve the shipping routes between the Dutch East Indies, China and Japan. By 1931 JCJL had offices in Amsterdam and ten East Asian cities, with agencies at London, New York and San Francisco. Liners provided regular passenger service between Java and Bali, the Philippines and China, and through bookings to and from Japan, the United States and Europe. The large and multicolored map shows a wide swath of land and sea, with shipping routes and ports of call. Its upper left quadrant is dominated by China and Mongolia, with Japan in its upper right. Sumatra, Borneo, New Guinea and Java are at the bottom of the map, with the northernmost part of Australia peeking out in the lower right. The map also depicts existing railways as well as submarine telegraph cables and distances between major cities. The verso of the map contains company information and a photographic image of the M.S. Tjinegara, "one of the 'New Three'" ships built in 1931 for JCJL. There are also three images of the stately services on board a liner, showing a dining saloon, smoking room with library and a "two-bedded stateroom." A colorful and highly detailed map revealing the Dutch shipping enterprise in East Asia. OCLC shows three holdings.

Store Description

You may notice that despite the name of our business, you won't find a lot of books here. While we do sell some printed matter, we specialize in selling original source materials that tell compelling American stories. Our principal abandoned a reasonably successful law career to do this full time because life is too short not jump out of bed excited to start a work day. Our slogan, ?The Extraordinary History of the Every Day?, matches our approach to the trade: we seek to preserve the exceptional stories of everyday people. Most of these folks probably had no idea that their actions were anything other than ordinary. As you look through our website and catalogs you'll find a wealth of compelling narratives. Also note that we don't limit ourselves to those lost to history as our work has enhanced many a wiki page. Considering our present inventory, you might also think we only buy and sell material related to underrepresented social groups and social movements. That's because of the response we receive from customers for this type of material and we would do nearly anything to avoid practicing law again. Truth be told, we get excited about preserving all sorts of interesting stories so the more you would educate us about your collecting interests, wants and what gets you excited, the more likely we'd recognize this material as something we should bring to market. So please feel free to reach out and tell us what you collect. Also, if you have items that you think may be of interest to us, please do not hesitate to write or call.
