Gedruckt t'AMSTERDAM Bij PIETER GOOS Op't Water inde Ver gulde Zee-Spiegel, c.1621/c.1650-1666. 25 3/4” x 33 3/4”. Printed on vellum. Original color, illuminated with gold. Very good condition. $68,000. Printed on vellum, this is the second and final state of Willem Janszoon Blaeu’s rare sea chart of Europe, c. 1621. The chart was highly influential and was faithfully copied by Anthonie Jacobz and Justus Danckerts, as well as by Blaeu’s own grandchildren Willem, Pieter and Joan. Goos made the only re-issue of the original Blaeu plate, and Gunther Schilder dates this state between 1650 and 1666, noting that “the text in the title cartouche, still crowned by the printer’s mark of Blaeu, has been replaced and a new imprint has been placed in a new, richly decorated cartouche in Greenland.” He lists only three examples on vellum and two on paper, making the Goos issue rarer than the first state. The chart is oriented with west towards the top and extends from Novaya Zemla in the east to the Azores in the west, and from the northern coast of Spitbergen to the Canary Islands in the south. The eastern portion of the Mediterranean is depicted within the interior of North Africa. Magnificently decorated, there are richly detailed European coats of arms, scale cartouches in the corners, several ships in the waters, a pair of native people in Greenland, and a number of animals portrayed on land, including polar bears and elephants. ref: Schilder, Monumenta Cartographica Neerlandica, Vol. IV, #45.2, pp. 100-103. 15TH C ENTURY W ORLD M AP F ROM THE R OME P TOLEMY

2. ROME PTOLEMY / SWEYNHEYM, CONRAD, [untitled Ptolemaic map of the world], 1478/1490. 13” x 21 1/2”. Uncolored. Trimmed close at left margin. Centerfold reinforced on verso. Otherwise excellent condition. $29,500. This is the second Ptolemaic world map ever printed, preceded only by the one appearing in the first published atlas, the Bologna Ptolemy, in 1477. “The new copper plates engraved at Rome for the 1478 edition of Ptolemy’s Geography are much superior in clarity and craftsmanship to those of the Bologna edition. There is evidence that work on the Rome edition had been started in 1473 or 1474, and several of the plates may well have been engraved before those printed at Bologna in 1477. The printing was carried out by two skilled printers of German origin: Conrad Sweynheym and his successor Arnold Buckinck; the publisher was Domitius Calderinus. Many consider the Rome plates to be the finest Ptolemaic plates produced until Gerard Mercator engraved his classical world atlas of 1578” -- Shirley. The world map from the 1478 Ptolemy later appeared, without change, in the 1490 edition, and it is impossible to distinguish the 1478 map from the one appearing in 1490. ref: Shirley, The Mapping of the World, #4, pl. 16; Suarez, Shedding The Veil, p. 23.

The publication of the Ortelius atlas in 1570 “marked an epoch in the history of cartography. It was the first uniformly sized, systematic collection of maps of the countries of the world based only on contemporary knowledge since the days of Ptolemy” -- Tooley. The geography of this Ortelius world map is based on Mercator’s great map of 1569. “From surviving correspondence it is known that Mercator generously encouraged Ortelius to make use of his published corpus of research; he also provided him with co-ordinates of places in America and perhaps elsewhere” -- Shirley. The importance of Ortelius’ Theatrum on the history of cartography is impossible to 3. ORTELIUS, Typvs Orbis Terrarum, 1586 overemphasize.

Gerard Mercator’s great world map of 1569 was condensed into double hemispherical form by his son Rumold. Shirley calls the engraving “a model of clarity and neatness.” First appearing in 1587, the map has a long and complex history. It was originally published in Isaac Casaubon’s edition of Strabo’s Geographia and later appeared in at least two editions of Mercator’s atlas. The map may have also been separately issued, as well as being printed at Duisberg in the third and final part of Mercator’s atlas. In 1595, after the death of his father Gerard, 6.

Only edition. “Myritius has been described as perhaps the last of the geographers to accept without question the connection of North America with Asia” -- Portraits of The World. The connection of Asia and America is most preva- lent on earlier Italian Gastaldi-type world maps, and Shirley notes that the choice of place names on the Myritius also points to reliance on an Italian rather than a Dutch source. Published in Ingolstadt, Germany in 1590, this handsome oval map is surrounded by sixteen cherubic wind- heads inside of a heavy decorative outer border. ref: Shirley, The Mapping of The World, #175, plate 7.

One clean tear repaired and several areas of repair on verso. $15,500. Appearing in Linschoten’s rare Itinerario, this map by Vrients is a close copy of the one by Petrus Plancius which appeared in 1594, with differences affecting the northern seas and improvements to the border decorations “with even greater stylistic effect” -- Shirley.

Fuego, the island at the southern tip of South America, 15 years before it was actually confirmed to be an island. Other maps of the period delineate it as the northern tip of an enormous southern continent. The significance of an insular shape was that it allowed competitors of the Dutch, who controlled the Straits of Magellan, an alternate pathway to the Pacific - by rounding the Horn below the island. Shirley points out that “Hondius [the engraver] has exercised his considerable artistic skill to provide a novel and distinctive border for the central map.” South America has also been corrected from the potato shape found on the usual Mercator states of the map. ref: Shirley, The Mapping of The World, #233. 9.

Very few maps were published in Spain during the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. This world map by De Solis is based on the 10.

This is the Jansson edition of Pieter Van Der Keere’s rare world map with four decorative borders. According to Shirley, it “is an undisguised and skillful copy of Willem J. Blaeu’s single sheet world map of two years earlier. The clarity and precision of Keere’s engraving is in no way inferior to that of Josua van den Ende who engraved Blaeu’s map.” Van Der Keere’s map is slightly smaller than the Blaeu, and includes a number of new legends. There is also a long note near the cartouche dealing with the question of whether or not the straits of Anian and Davis link up to form a northwest passage. Unlike the later states of Blaeu’s map, there are strong rhumb lines radiating from the compass roses. This is an example of the fourth edition of 11. VAN DER KEERE, Nova Totius Terrarum Orbis, 1608/1630 the map, published in the rare Atlantis Maioris Appendix by Jansson and Hondius. “Examples of the first three states are rare, and even the fourth state is uncommon” -- Shirley. ref: Shirley, The Mapping of The World, #264, plate 207.

This single sheet version was magnificently engraved by Josua van den Ende. The superb border decorations which surround the map include representations of the sun, moon, and five known planets along the top, while the bottom vignettes show the seven classical wonders of the world. The side panels represent the four seasons and four elements. Willem Blaeu was the founder of one of the most powerful cartographic houses in Amsterdam, one which would dominate mapmaking for the greater part of the 17th century. ref: Shirley, The Mapping of The World, #255.

The hemispheres have been reduced, with alterations, from Blaeu’s classic wall map of 1648. De Wit has omitted the large inland sea in North America, the land marked Yedso north of Japan, and has reduced the size of northeast Asia. The surround includes two celestial spheres, north and south polar projections, astronomical diagrams, garlands of fruits and flowers, and representations of the four elements. Shirley notes that “De Wit’s map is one of the most decorative standard size maps of the time and is much less commonly found than his three other atlas world maps.” ref: Shirley, The Mapping of The World, #421. 15.

This map plate, the second general world map drawn for the Danckerts firm, is signed I. Danckerts and Shirley notes that it is not clear whether this signature refers to Justus Danckerts senior, or his son, also named Justus, who pre-deceased his father in 1692. Changes from the first plate include a revised lower polar circle, now showing all the southern continents as far north as the equator, whereas previ- ously only the southernmost tip of South America was depicted. The coast of North America west of California has been added, as well as the names of the oceans. Nova Guinea is now drawn as an island on the 16.

According to Shirley, Valck’s Mappe Monde was probably copied from Jaillot’s influential world map of 1674, but in contrast to the plain corners of Jaillot’s map, Valck has engraved four striking baroque scenes as a surround. These, representing joyous spring, industrious summer, bucolic autumn and icy winter, are accompanied by north and south polar circles. This is the first use of these corner scenes, which would re-appear on every world map which Gerard Valck would later publish, including his monumental eight-sheet Nova Totius Terrarum c.1690. ref: Shirley, The Mapping of The World, #531.

In addition to the two main hemispheres, there are eight smaller projections of the earth and four circular diagrams. The title banners are similar to those on the Allard, but Schenck has re-intro- duced some of the Dutch decorative style in the form of small cherubs between the main hemispheres. Allard’s design was also adopted by Zurner, Homann and Seutter. ref: cf: Shirley, The Mapping of The World, #578.

This large scale world map by John Senex was first published in 1711 with his partner John Maxwell, whose name has been erased from the plate for this revised edition, dated 1725. The map was both separately issued and included in Senex’s Modern Geography beginning in 1721. The example being offered here is a later state of the 1725 edition which has been atlered to show California as a peninsula instead of an island. Containing much scientific information, Whitfield notes that “this map represents the complete ascendancy of scientific taste in the eighteenth-century twin-hemisphere world map: the map’s borders are filled neither with classical motifs nor even with scientific motifs, but with scientific texts, long and detailed passages from two of the foremost scientists of the day [Isaac Newton and Edmund Halley]”. ref: Wagner, Northwest Coast, 497, 522; Portraits of the World, #47, p.56; Whitfield, The Image of The World, pp. 110-111.

Ortelius’ landmark map of the Western Hemisphere, first published in 1570, was the first map of the Americas to appear in a modern atlas. When this map was issued, the coastal areas of the New World had been fairly well explored, and Europeans were just beginning settlement and colonization. At this critical historical juncture, it was Ortelius' map that was most responsible for providing Europeans with 29.

The position of the large lake that feeds the River May differs from the Le Moyne. In changing the river’s flow to a southeasterly direction, Hondius erroneously straight- ened the bend in that river.

This is John Speed’s version of the famous Lords Proprietors’ Map of Carolina, first published by John Ogilby in 1672. “In 1663 Charles II rewarded eight courtiers who had supported his return to the throne by giving them, with great generosity in lands that he did not own in the first place, all the region between Virginia and Florida and westward from the Atlantic to the Pacific”- - Cumming. Although much of the geography was based on a map given to John Ogilby by John Locke, the delineation of the interior was based on the reports of a young German explorer, John Lederer, who 72. SPEED, A New Description of Carolina, 1676 had been sent on an expedition to look over the Blue Ridge Mountains in hopes of seeing the Pacific Ocean on the other side. Lederer’s account of the region included some famous geographical vagaries, and many of these misconceptions continued to appear on maps as late as the middle of the eighteenth century. Unlike Ogilby, Speed gives a full synopsis of Lederer’s expedition into Carolina on the verso, and Cumming notes that this map “must have done much to spread the knowledge of Lederer’s explorations further than his own pamphlet would have done.” ref: Cumming, The Southeast in Early Maps, #77; Cumming, British Maps of Colonial America, pp. 3-4.

The fourth part was devoted to the North American and West Indian coasts, and included some of the most accurate and detailed charts of those regions to date. “The Van Keulen era in which the publication of charts of waters 89.

The following series of small maps were engraved for the expanded edition of Moll’s Atlas Minor in 1729, which Moll himself described as follows: “the curious will find several valuable pieces, particularly in America, new and never engraven before, taken from the original draughts, communicated to me by persons of note... The first meridian in all these maps is taken from London, which was never done before in any small set.”

“Pieter Goos was one of Amsterdam’s most prominent publishers of nautical charts. The reputation of his firm was matched only by that of the publishing houses of Blaeu and van Keulen” -- Putnam. His maritime atlas of the world is one of the most complete sea atlases published prior to the appearance of Van Keulen’s Zee-Fakkel in the 1680’s. Famed for its beauty, Koeman notes that “Goos’s sea-atlas was more intended for the book- lover than for the seaman.” The following selection of charts are from the 1666 edition of Goos’ De Zee Atlas ofte Water- Weereld. ref: Koeman, Atlantes Neerlandici, Vol. IV, pp. 193, 197 and 199; Putnam, Early Sea Charts, pp. 99-100.

The map being offered here is the reen- graving in 1570 of the Gastaldi by the Venetian publisher, Girolamo Olgiato. It incorporates the additions to the original Gastaldi map of 1561 made by Paolo Forlani in 1565. This consists of a small printed strip which include the Philippine Islands. Most examples of the Gastaldi do not have Forlani’s strip as it was published several years after the original. For the 132. GASTALDI, Il Disegno Della Terza Parte Dell'Asia, 1561/1570 geography and topography, Gastaldi relied heavily on the reports of Marco Polo. He also made use of information derived from Magellan’s voyage, especially in the East Indies. “As regards the outlines of the coasts they are superior to all previous maps of Asia known, either drawn by hand or printed” -- Nordenskiold. The map extends from India to Japan; from China in the north to the East India Islands. Gastaldi’s three-part map of Asia is the most significant of the continent of the century. The third part is the largest and most impressive of the three separately issued parts. Complete copies of the Gastaldi/Olgiato are recorded in only two libraries. ref: Karrow, Mapmakers of the Sixteenth Century, 30/92.1, p. 240; Nordenskiold, Periplus, pp. 160-1; Suarez, Early Mapping of Southeast Asia, pp. 130- 7 (this example is pictured on pp. 136-7); Tooley, Maps in Italian Atlases, Imago Mundi III, #62.

The atlas was a financial disaster and no other editions were ever published. Consequently, all maps by De Jode are quite rare. This map of Asia is particularly rare because it appears only in the scarce first edition of the Speculum. De Jode describes this map as a new delineation, as he extended the map westward from Ortelius’ model to include Persia and Arabia.
