The first steam railway to have a terminus in the capital Engraved plan, fine original hand-colour, alphabetical list of streets below, old folds reinforced, some with minor loss. Wallis's Guide for Strangers was a popular map, printed in numerous editions between 1813 and 1843. This edition shows the London and Greenwich Railway, opened between 1836 and 1838, which terminated at London Bridge, and was the first steam railway to have a terminus in the capital. Also shown is the London and Blackwall line, opened on July 6, 1840. This terminates at Minories on the current map, but was extended to Fenchurch Street in 1841. The London and Birmingham Railway was the first intercity line to be built into London. It terminates at Euston Station, which on this map is named as the Birmingham Railway Depot, and ran from 1833 to 1846, when it became part of the London and North Western Railway Line. Lastly is the Eastern Counties Railway, opened June 20, 1839. In July of 1840, it was extended to run from Shoreditch, as shown on this map, to Brentwood. In addition to selling maps and charts, Edward Wallis, with his father John, was the most prolific publisher of educational board games. His father was the inventor of the jigsaw puzzle. Although not dated, the plan can be dated to 1840 due to the Eastern Counties Railway to Shoreditch (1840), and London & Blackwall to Minories (1840). This would place it between states (8) and (9) in Howgego. Scale: 6 inches to one statute mile. Howgego 301 (intermediate state between 8 and 9).

Partly printed document, completed in manuscript. 12 x 19 cm. Horizontal fold, some scattered foxing and toning, a few shallow chips to right margin. Edward Wallis declares he was a resident of the Republic of Texas in 1836, and that he "did not leave the country during the campaign of the Spring of 1836 to avoid a participation in the struggle, that I did not refuse to participate in the War, that I did not aid or assist the enemy." Wallis was applying for his quantum of land by rights of his said residency, as allowed under the Constitution and laws of the Republic of Texas. Signed by Wallis, and witnessed by G.V. Lusk, Chief Justice and Notary Public of the County. Three other names appear in ink on the verso: Wm. Daniel, F.L. Green, and Jordan Smith. The Republic of Texas declared itself to be an independent, sovereign state on March 2, 1836. Delegates to the 1836 convention quickly drafted a Constitution which included a provision whereby all citizens residing in the state at the time of independence [African Americans and Native Americans excepted] could receive a portion of land in the state "in like manner as colonists. every head of a family shall be entitled to one league and labor of land, and every single man of the age of seventeen and upwards, shall be entitled to the third part of one league of land." Any citizen who left the Republic "for the purpose of evading a participation in the present struggle" would forfeit his rights of citizenship and land. The convention also required their male citizens ages 17 to 50 to serve in the military, offering land bounties of 320 to 1280 acres as incentives.

Hand-coloured copper engraving mounted on canvas in 12 segments (620 x 470 mm). With accompanying pamphlet: 8vo. 20 pp. Contemporary plain brown wrappers. All housed in original marbled box with coloured and mounted illustration on the front. A fascinating Regency-era tabletop game featuring hand-coloured copper engravings of famous (and dangerous) landmarks to stir the imaginations of British armchair adventurers. The gameboard consists of twenty-six sections depicting various natural wonders, through which a player must move, facing hazards along the way. The accompanying booklet contains not only the game instructions, but also an educational description of each such danger: if one lands on the "earthquake" section, one must "Stop a turn to lament this", whereas landing on the "pillars of burning sand, in the deserts of Arabia" ends one's game entirely. These so-called sand pillars are in fact enormous dust devils, and in Arab countries they are attributed to the djinn, the spirit race that lives alongside humans but are rarely seen. Although the first stories about them are older than Islam, djinn are mentioned in the Qur'an, which states that they are created from smokeless fire, and like mankind can be both good and evil (in Egypt they are known as "fasset el 'afreet", or ghost winds). - The various wonders depicted include Mount Etna in Sicily, Poole Cave in Derbyshire, the emergence of a volcano in the Atlantic Ocean near the island of São Miguel in the Azores, ice mountains at the North Pole, the basalt columns on the island of Staffa in the Hebrides archipelago, the Antiparos Cave in Greece, the Pico del Teide on the island of Tenerife, the Devil's Bridge in Switzerland, Niagara Falls, a waterfall on the White River in Jamaica, the Maelstrom on the Lofoten Islands in Norway and bubbling springs in the town of Geysir in Iceland. In its section on Mt. Etna, the booklet states that an eruption of 1669 wiped out 5,000 houses and formed a huge mountain two miles in circumference. In the section on earthquakes, the author describes the infamous and deadly Lisbon Earthquake of 1755 that flattened most of the city, at the time a thriving metropolis of 70,000 inhabitants. - Edward Wallis was the son of John Wallis (d. 1818), the most prolific publisher of board games in the late 18th and early 19th centuries; both of his sons continued his work. - Booklet a little browned due to paper stock, with a short tear to the wrappers. Board somewhat browned in the margins; overall well preserved, especially the colours, which remain bright.

One of the earliest game maps featuring the United States Hand coloured engraved map with aquatint, dissected and mounted on linen. Wallis's rare and entertaining map of the United States. This scarce and beautiful instructional game was to be played as a lotto, each player moving around the finely detailed map which is crowded with vignettes of American life and wildlife. 'It is probably the earliest game to utilise a map of the United States' (Whitehouse). The game aimed to teach an English audience about the United States, some of the descriptions in the rule book - present in the British Library copy, however not sold with the current example - must have astounded the young players, with the entry on Arkansas restricted to the "lynch law", and a number of references to slavery including, "The slave-holders of the southern states are extensively supplied from the markets of Virginia, where negroes are reared for the purpose of sale and traffic. the last taint of negro blood subjects an individual to this degraded condition". Some of the descriptions of American Wildlife too, must have been alarming, such as that of the Turkey Buzzard, "this bird feeds on carrion, and if attempted to be taken, vomits the contents of its stomach in the face of its pursuer, emitting the most intolerable stench"; and the Grizzly Bear, "The largest and fiercest animal on this continent. His very name is dreadful, as his disposition is bloodthirsty". Games of this period are rare, particularly in such fine condition. The map serves as the frontispiece for Whitehouse's reference book on table games. Whitehouse p. 44.
