A “Biblioteca Histórica Brasileira” da Livraria Martins

 Figura 1 – Cadeira de arruar (liteira), imagem constante das capas da coleção “Biblioteca Histórica Brasileira” da Livraria Martins Editora. A imagem foi inspirada na litografia do inglês Henry Chamberlain, “The Sege and Cadeira”, do livro “Views and Costumes of the City and Neighbourhood of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil”, publicado em 1822. A edição brasileira intitula-se: Vistas e Costumes da cidade e arredores do Rio de Janeiro em 1819-1820. 

                                                A “Biblioteca Histórica Brasileira” foi uma das coleções editadas pela Livraria Martins Editora, sob a direção de Rubens Borba de Moraes. Foram publicados 19 títulos em 23 volumes, entre os anos 40 e 50. Utilizou-se, na impressão da obras, um papel de baixa qualidade, provavelmente o mesmo das obras de jurisprudência[1]. Este detalhe não diminuiu a importância da iniciativa, já que boa parte destas obras ainda não haviam sido publicadas em português. Para ficarmos em apenas um exemplo, a obra de Jean Baptista Debret – Viagem Pitoresca e Histórica ao Brasil, editada em francês em 1834 (1° Tomo), 1835 (2° Tomo) e 1839 (3° Tomo), teve sua primeira edição em português nesta coleção, em 1940 (n° IV), na tradução de Sergio Milliet.

                        Aqui trazemos a lista destas obras e os links em que podem ser visualizadas. Como, nem sempre localizamos o exemplar digitalizado da Livraria Martins, relacionamos as obras disponíveis na internet, de outras editoras. Em alguns casos relacionamos a primeira edição destas obras na língua original.

MAPAS NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC

Lista dos Mapas publicados pela revista National Geographic

  

Figura 1 – Detalhe do mapa intitulado “Bible Lands and the Cradle of WesternCivilization” publicado pela National Geographic Society, em dezembro de 1946. Podemos ver a Palestina (na época sob mandato britânico, antes da criação de Israel), tendo como capital, Jerusalém e a Trans-Jordânia (atual Jordânia), ainda com os contornos indefinidos.

A National Geographic é a revista da National Geographic Society que vem sendo publicada mensalmente desde 1888 até o presente. Além da revista, são publicados, esporadicamente, suplementos e mapas adicionais. Em algumas ocasiões foram realizadas edições especiais.

Atualmente, a revista é publicada em 33 idiomas. A edição brasileira teve início em maio de 2000.

Aqui estão relacionados os mapas publicados desde 1888 a 2016, da publicação em inglês. A lista, no entanto, não é exaustiva. Esta lista foi elaborada a partir das informações de Robert Johnston e de sites de vendas e da observação dos mapas.

O primeiro mapa foi publicado em outubro de 1889, intitulado “North Carolina-Tennesse: Asheville Sheet”. O primeiro mapa da America do Sul foi publicado em novembro de 1921 e o primeiro mapa Mundi em dezembro de 1922.

Obs.: Boa parte dos mapas esta disponível on line, clique para visualizar.

Explanation of columns:

·  Type of map-codes are

• A = astronomy-related (sky chart or map of Moon or Mars)
• C = cultural
• E = environmental
• G = geologic
• H = historical
• P = physical
• S = standard political
• SR = standard road map
• T = topographic
• X = unclassified
• * = pictorial (not a map)
• some are double coded from above codes

·  Scale: given as inverse (e.g. 1,000,000 for 1:1,000,000); cited scale is generally for the smallest scale map or main map for sheets with multiple maps (particularly front-and-back maps).

·  Series: several series are coded as follows (with numbers indicating place in sequence):

• AP = Atlas Plate
• CU = Close-Up: USA
• CUC = Close-Up: Canada
• MA = Making of America
• SP = Special Places of the World
• MC = Making of Canada
• GP = Great Peoples
• MM = Millennium in Maps

Some caveats:

• This list is compiled from several incomplete sources; corrections are welcome.
• In some cases, classification of type of map is my best guess without having examined the map.
• A few maps do not state scale, in which case an estimate is given.

Figura 2 – Detalhe do Mapa intitulado “The Far East”, publicado pela National Geographic Society, em setembro de 1952. Podemos ver nele detalhes interessantes da época, como a Nova Guiné Holandesa, na parte oriental da ilha da Nova Guiné, hoje Nova Guiné Ocidental, que comporta duas províncias, a Papua Ocidental e a Papua, que fazem parte da Indonésia. No mesmo mapa, temos ainda o Timor Português (hoje Timor-Leste) e o enclave de Ocussi-Ambemo.
