Richard S. Breiman, MD, retired in October 2011 after 10 years of service to the Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging. Breiman received his medical degree from UCSF in 1973. He completed a Diagnostic Radiology residency at Stanford University in 1979, followed by CT and Ultrasound fellowships, also at Stanford University, in 1976 and 1978. From 1979-1981, Breiman was an assistant professor of radiology at Duke University, Durham, North Carolina, and a Clinical Instructor of Radiology at UC Berkeley from 1982-1994. Concurrently he served as volunteer clinical faculty at UCSF from 1984-1987. He worked in private practice as a radiologist and partner at Pacific Imaging Consultants from 1989-2001. He was appointed assistant clinical professor in the Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging in July 2001, became an associate clinical professor in 2003, and was promoted to a clinical professor in 2007.

E46 - The Etcher and The Engraver
These Abraham Bosse (1602-1676) etchings depicting his printmaking studio in Paris are being shown at BAM because, although they are not maps, they are beautiful illustrations of the printmaking techniques utilized in the 16th to the 18th centuries to create works on paper, whether they were artistic or cartographic creations.
Bosse was one of the leading French printmakers of the 17th century. He was also an author and teacher who wrote a famous treatise on printmaking techniques.
“Graveurs en taille douce au burin et à l'eau forte” (The Etcher and The Engraver)
This is an etching by Abraham Bosse, published in 1643. It demonstrates two techniques (etching and engraving) for creating grooves in a copper plate that represent the desired image or map in reverse. When inked and pressed into paper, as in the 2nd etching, it transfers the image to the paper in the proper orientation. The Richard & Leslie Breiman Collection.

E46 - Garry Gitzen
My name is Garry David Gitzen and I am the curator of a private library of 16th - 18th century exploration of the Pacific. As an Oregon historian, my research for the past thirty years has concentrated on Pacific Coast cartography, ethnology and topography of Nehalem Bay as well as focusing on navigation and surveying methods during the age of exploration. I've lectured throughout Oregon highlighting Francis Drake's Oregon landing. I've written a number of articles and books on the subject, some of which are listed on my website: FortNehalem.net.
My current work is an extensively researched manuscript dispelling the folklore of conventional theories purporting a Francis Drake landing on any shores of California. Additionally, I have an article in press for the Terrae Incognitae international journal of the Society for the History of Discoveries - www.sochistdisc.org.
I always enjoy hearing feedback from those who have read my books.
1598 Wright Molyneux Map Garry Gitzen
1598 Wright Map from The John Carter Brown (JCB) Library.
From JCB: One of the first printed world maps drawn using the innovative Mercator projection was drawn in 1599 by Edward Wright, an English mathematician. In the same year Wright published a mathematical treatise on how to apply the new map projection, this two-sheet world map was published, unattributed to Wright, in Richard Hakluyt’s Principal Navigations…(3 volumes, 1598-1600). The JCB’s copy of Hakluyt’s Principal Navigations bound with the 1599 Wright map in its original form of 2 separate sheets, as it had been issued. While the map does not include much of the northern Pacific coastlines and a southern continent, Wright’s map is celebrated today for its accuracy, and Wright himself is considered to be the first to explain to the seafaring public the map projection that would dominate cartography for centuries to come.
