ROBERT MILLS ALS TO MR. PROFFIT,
ROBERT MILLS ALS TO MR. PROFFIT, MARCH 2ND, 1843ROBERT MILLS ALS TO MR. PROFFIT, MARCH 2ND, 1843, regarding a bill for the extension of the Patent Office. Robert Mills studied under James Hoban and Benjamin Henry Latrobe, and is probably best known for designing the Washington Monument in the nation's capital. Among his other many notable projects, Mills designed the Department of Treasury Building, the Patent Office Building, and the old General Post Office. Proffit was member of Congress - U.S. House of Representatives. Sir As the bill from the Senate for the extension of the Patent Office may be opposed upon the ground of its requiring a new appropriation, I would respectfully observe that this is not the case, but that the means are taken out of the Patent Office fund, which is only applicable to objects connected with the Patent Office. It therefore remains in the Treasury a ... Capital should any member of the House want information on this ... would you ... state the facts in this case. I have the honor to salute you respectfully Robert Mills Archt March 2nd 1843 [turn over] [brought over] When the bill comes up would you have an amendment made authorizing the President to employ an architect, for by a bill (768 ...) fixing the salary of the ..., an architect is not to be employed except authorized by ...

CLAUDIUS PTOLEMY - ULM MAP OF THE WORLD, 1486Claudius Ptolemy (fl. AD 127-145), engraver Johannes Schnitzer of Armszheim, Untitled map of the world surrounded by twelve headwinds, publisher Johann Reger (fl. 1480-1499) Ulm, 1486, engraving on laid paper with hand coloring, sheet 16-3/4 x 22-3/4 in.; framed, 27-3/4 x 34 in.
Note: Based on the works of Roman astronomer, mathematician, and geographer Claudius Ptolemy, this early world map engraved by Johannes Schnitzer of Armszheim was originally published in 1482 by Leinhart Holle. The map was reissued in 1486 by Johan Reger, who took over the publishing following Holle's bankruptcy, and is distinguished from the earlier edition by the coloring of the seas, which has now faded to brown. Few examples of either edition are said to remain today, making this map an exceptional rarity.

floated on mount with archival tape at ten points around edges (verso not examined), some later color with areas of flaking and retouch, trimmed, scattered light staining, some wear and handling grime at edges; frame with light wear
