Lithographs by Julius Bien (1826-1909), an American lithographic printer and cartographer based in New York City. During the course of the second half of the 19th century, he produced thousands of maps for both public and private publishers. Some of his most notable commissions were for the U.S. government, including many geological maps that redefined the cartographic visualization of geology. Bien's prolific output and contributions to the development of chromolithography make him one of the most significant map printers of his time.

John James Audubon's Wild Turkey stands as a seminal work within the canon of American natural history illustration, marking the auspicious beginning as Plate Number One in his monumental Birds of America. This image, executed with precise detail and vibrant life at the Beechwoods Plantation near St. Francisville, Louisiana in 1825, captures the essence of the American wilderness and its avian inhabitants with unparalleled artistry. It is a depiction that, for many art enthusiasts and collectors, symbolizes the quintessence of Audubon's artistic and ornithological legacy. Audubon himself expressed a profound admiration for this species, noting, "The great size and beauty of the Wild Turkey, its value as a delicate and highly prized article of food, and the circumstance of its being the origin of the domestic race now generally dispersed over both continents, render it one of the most interesting of the birds indigenous to the United States of America." This iconic illustration, by virtue of its placement as the inaugural plate in both the Havell and Bien editions of Birds of America, showcases Audubon's prioritization of the Wild Turkey as a symbol of the American natural heritage. The Wild Turkey is not just an illustration; it is a cultural artifact that continues to captivate and inspire, embodying the rich biodiversity of America and the pioneering spirit of exploration and conservation that defined Audubon's work.

This 1860 chromolithograph, titled Iceland or Falcon (Falco islandicus), was drawn from nature by the renowned naturalist John James Audubon and lithographed by Julius Bien in New York. The illustration features two Icelandic Gyrfalcons in a dynamic pose that captures the ferocity and grace of these powerful raptors. One falcon appears to swoop down toward its partner, with wings fully extended, emphasizing the impressive patterning on the feathers, while the other falcon, with an open beak, seems to respond vocally, adding an expressive interaction between the birds. Audubon s compositional capacities are evident in the finely rendered plumage and fierce expressions of the birds, set against a subtle, atmospheric background that enhances the sense of depth. The composition places the falcons on a grassy cliff edge, hinting at their natural habitat and their roles as apex predators in the wild. This lithograph is part of Audubon s larger ornithological series, which sought to document North American bird species with unparalleled accuracy and artistry. Map.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. THE REESE COPY. New York: Alfred E. Mathews, 1866. First edition. Oblong folio. 20th-century quarter calf to style over green pebbled cloth boards. Title and author gilt to the front board. With 36 scenes on 23 tinted lithographed plates. Spine faded. Head and tail worn. Margins of 5… plates repaired with tape, beginning with the frontispiece. Heavy foxing and offsetting throughout the plates. Final leaf chipped. Pencil ownership inscription of "May C. Mathew-Bishop"(?) on the title-page. Alfred Edward Mathews (1831-1874) emigrated to the U.S. from England and became an itinerant bookseller and artist. He came to Colorado in 1865, having honed his illustrative skills as a Union soldier during the Civil War. He sought to present the awesome natural beauty of Colorado, as well as mining interests there. His documentary illustrations of the American West are accurate and attractive, among the earliest and most important of his time. Julius Bien, an American lithographer originally from Germany, was a specialist in chromolithography. Based in New York City, he printed a broad array of topics and maps, including a lithographed edition of John J. Audubon's The Birds of America. From the collection of William S. Reese (1955-2018), who was one of the great Americana booksellers. His firm continues to trade in New Haven. After his death, Christie's New York sold his private collection (24-25 May 2022; the present item was lot 260).

Bartlett, Great Surveys of the American West. One of the four major geological surveys of the western United States which took place in the years following the Civil War. This early monumental survey took place in 1867, under the direction of Clarence King (1842-1901). King, a graduate of Yale's Sheffield Scientific School, was only 25 years old when he was appointed Geologist in charge of the exploration along the 40th Parallel, which spanned from Eastern Colorado to California. This expedition represented the first major attempt to map the area in detail, and was one of the first expeditions to use the medium of photography to capture images and activities of the expedition. Timothy O'Sullivan (1840-1882), known for his images of the Civil War, was the photographer for the King survey. His photographs were subsequently reproduced in lithograph form by Julius Bien for inclusion in the published volumes reporting on the expedition. Many of O'Sullivan's original photographs from the 40th Parallel expedition are now in the collection of The George Eastman House in New York. The collection represents a historically and culturally important archive depicting the American West. In 1879, the United States Geological Survey was established and appointed Clarence King its first director. In 1881, King resigned this position to pursue other scientific interests leaving John Wesley Powell (1834-1902) as his successor. "King's Fortieth Parallel Survey materially improved the reputation of American science abroad, and set an example of accuracy and scholarship at home at a time when such an example was sorely needed. That such a survey should have taken place in an otherwise corrupt and barren era in our national life (1867-79) is also of some significance. Finally, as a personal achievement, the Fortieth Parallel Survey ranks as a. Julius Bien (illustrator).

"In 1853 [Walling] entered on his life work as a cartographer, and between that date and 1870 did a great work in the preparation of maps. His work extended over a large part of the Northern states. He prepared and published the well-known map of Massachusetts, which was the product in part of Borden's survey and in part the result of his own painstaking labor. About 1870 he became a professor of mathematics in Lafayette college, which office he retained for two years. For some years thereafter he was an assistant in the United States coast survey. Having acquired an interest in geological problems, he then became an officer of the national geological survey" (obituary, Cambridge Tribune, 1888). Hitchcock "served as New Hampshire State Geologist from 1868 to 1878 and taught at Dartmouth College from 1868 to 1908, holding the Hall Professorship of Geology and Mineralogy. Hitchcock's survey produced a three volume work, 'The Geology of New Hampshire' (1874-1878) and the folio, 'Atlas accompanying the report on the geology of New Hampshire.' The maps in the atlas comprise the first detailed, comprehensive map of the bedrock and surfacial geology of the state. Hitchcock used to name the rock units and designated their 'type localities.' Most of these rock formation names are still in use. In addition to geology, he contributed to a wide range of fields including fieldwork in paleontology, bedrock and glaciology, economic geology, and volcanology" (Dartmouth College Special Collections Library online).
