Nieulvez aldus uytgegeven, Door P. Goos... 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 car- touches 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, [untitled world map], 1478/1490 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 clas- sical world atlas of 1578” -- Shirley. The world map from the 1478 Ptolemy later appeared, with- out 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. W ORLD M APS BY O RTELIUS 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.

ORTELIUS, Typvs Orbis Terrarum, 1587/1592 W ORLD M APS 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 pub- lished 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.

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.

    JONATHAN POTTER ANTIQUE MAPS CATALOGUE SUMMER 2012 INTRODUCTION 2012 was always going to be an exciting year in London and Britain with the long- anticipated Queen’s Jubilee celebrations and the holding of the Olympic Games. To add to this, Jonathan Potter Ltd has moved to new gallery premises in Marylebone, one of the most pleasant parts of central London. After nearly 35 years in Mayfair, the move north of Oxford Street seemed a huge step to take, but is only a few minutes’ walk from Bond Street. 52a George Street is set in an attractive area of good hotels and restaurants, fine Georgian residential properties and interesting retail outlets. Come and visit us. Our summer catalogue features a fascinating mixture of over 100 interesting, rare and decorative maps covering a period of almost five hundred years. From the fifteenth century incunable woodcut map of the ancient world from Schedels’ ‘Chronicarum...’ to decorative 1960s maps of the French wine regions, the range of maps available to collectors and enthusiasts whether for study or just decoration is apparent. Although the majority of maps fall within the ‘traditional’ definition of antique, we have included a number of twentieth and late ninteenth century publications – a significant period in history and cartography which we find fascinating and in which we are seeing a growing level of interest and appreciation. AN ILLUSTRATED SELECTION OF ANTIQUE MAPS, ATLASES, CHARTS AND PLANS AVAILABLE FROM We hope you find the catalogue interesting and please, if you don’t find what you are looking for, ask us - we have many, many more maps in stock, on our website and in the JONATHAN POTTER LIMITED gallery.

  • Abel Janszoon Tasman: a Biography Written by Grahame Anderson and Contributed to the Abel Tasman Website, October 2014
    Abel Janszoon Tasman: a biography written by Grahame Anderson and contributed to the Abel Tasman website, October 2014 Grahame Anderson's major published works include: The Merchant of the Zeehaen: IsaacGilsemans and the voyages of Abel Tasman (Wellington Te Papa Press, 2001); fast light boats: a century of Kiwi innovation (Wellington, Te Papa Press, 1999); Fresh about Cook Strait: an appreciation of Wellington Harbour (Auckland, Methuen, 1984). If you have queries or comments, please contact Grahame at: [email protected] ----------- Tasman, Abel Janszoon c1603 - c1659 Commander, explorer, cartographer, merchant Born to subsistence farmers in Lutjegast the year the Dutch Republic was formed, Tasman may well have benefitted from its progressive education program. His ability to write, his knowledge of Latin, his rapid rise in rank, and the willingness of able officers to sail with him all bear witness to the quality of his education and to his command, seamanship, and navigation skills. He married his second wife Jannetje Tjaerts in Amsterdam in 1632, sailed for Batavia in 1633, and renewed his contract with the Dutch East India Company while back in the Republic in 1636. Tasman’s most well-known expedition of 1642-1643 was just one of twelve long voyages of which he was given command during his service with the Company. He began work with the VOC (Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie), in 1634 by spending two years at sea patrolling the Moluccas as skipper of the Mocha. Though much of his time during that period involved enforcement of Company control of trade, he charted the seas between Amboyna, Banda and Ceram for the Company as he did so.

  • December-2016.Pdf
    the hollstein journal december 2016 It is my great pleasure to write these first few lines introducing our first e-newsletter. Via this medium, which we aim to publish at least twice a year, we will keep you informed about various Hollstein projects: more in depth information about some of our current projects, new research, publication schedules, as well as other activities connected to Dutch and Flemish and German prints before 1700. In this first issue you will be introduced by Ad Stijnman to Johannes Teyler and the à la poupée printing technique. These volumes to be published in our series The New Hollstein Dutch & Flemish Etchings, Engravings and Woodcuts, 1450-1700 will be the first ever to be in full colour. Some of our previous volumes on the oeuvres of Hendrick Goltzius and Frans Floris already included a few colour plates but Teyler’s substantial oeuvre covers every colour of the rainbow. Marjolein Leesberg will discuss Gerard and Cornelis de Jode. Her research on the De Jode dynasty resulted in such a wealth of new material that we decided to divide The New Hollstein Dutch & Flemish volumes into two separate publications. The first will cover Gerard and Cornelis de Jode and the second following comprises the subsequent family members Pieter de Jode I, Pieter de Jode II, and Arnold de Jode. With the end of the year quickly approaching, I, on behalf of the whole team, would like to take the opportunity to wish you a Merry Christmas and a prosperous 2017. Frits Garritsen Director johannes teyler and dutch colour printing 1685-1710 The group of prints compiled for the forthcoming The à la poupée process had been used since 1457,2 New Hollstein volumes concern what are known as usually inking copper plates but also woodblocks in ‘Teyler prints’.

  • Thylacinidae
    FAUNA of AUSTRALIA 20. THYLACINIDAE JOAN M. DIXON 1 Thylacine–Thylacinus cynocephalus [F. Knight/ANPWS] 20. THYLACINIDAE DEFINITION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION The single member of the family Thylacinidae, Thylacinus cynocephalus, known as the Thylacine, Tasmanian Tiger or Wolf, is a large carnivorous marsupial (Fig. 20.1). Generally sandy yellow in colour, it has 15 to 20 distinct transverse dark stripes across the back from shoulders to tail. While the large head is reminiscent of the dog and wolf, the tail is long and characteristically stiff and the legs are relatively short. Body hair is dense, short and soft, up to 15 mm in length. Body proportions are similar to those of the Tasmanian Devil, Sarcophilus harrisii, the Eastern Quoll, Dasyurus viverrinus and the Tiger Quoll, Dasyurus maculatus. The Thylacine is digitigrade. There are five digital pads on the forefoot and four on the hind foot. Figure 20.1 Thylacine, side view of the whole animal. (© ABRS)[D. Kirshner] The face is fox-like in young animals, wolf- or dog-like in adults. Hairs on the cheeks, above the eyes and base of the ears are whitish-brown. Facial vibrissae are relatively shorter, finer and fewer than in Tasmanian Devils and Quolls. The short ears are about 80 mm long, erect, rounded and covered with short fur. Sexual dimorphism occurs, adult males being larger on average. Jaws are long and powerful and the teeth number 46. In the vertebral column there are only two sacrals instead of the usual three and from 23 to 25 caudal vertebrae rather than 20 to 21.

Mazza's map is particularly noteworthy for three reasons: First map to show a recognizable portrayal of the Outer Banks of the Carolinas First map to correctly name the island of Roanoke, Virginia (founded in 1587) First map to specifically mention an English settlement in North America For many years Mazza's map has been part of a fascinating debate as to its sources and its relationship to two of the most iconic maps of the Americas, Abraham Ortelius's Americae Sive Novi Orbis Nova Descriptio (1587) and his Maris Pacifici (1589), the first printed map of the Pacific. Little is known about Mazza beyond his Venetian roots. The publisher, Donato Rascicotti, was an active part of the Lafreri School of map publishers. He was originally from Brescia but worked from a shop on the Ponte dei Baretteri in Venice. They worked together on other maps; this map was part of a set of four of the continents. All are extremely rare.

  • Redeeming the Truth
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Redeeming the Truth: Robert Morden and the Marketing of Authority in Early World Atlases A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in History by Laura Suzanne York 2013 © Copyright by Laura Suzanne York 2013 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Redeeming the Truth: Robert Morden and the Marketing of Authority in Early World Atlases by Laura Suzanne York Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Los Angeles, 2013 Professor Muriel C. McClendon, Chair By its very nature as a “book of the world”—a product simultaneously artistic and intellectual—the world atlas of the seventeenth century promoted a totalizing global view designed to inform, educate, and delight readers by describing the entire world through science and imagination, mathematics and wonder. Yet early modern atlas makers faced two important challenges to commercial success. First, there were many similar products available from competitors at home and abroad. Secondly, they faced consumer skepticism about the authority of any work claiming to describe the entire world, in the period before standards of publishing credibility were established, and before the transition from trust in premodern geographic authorities to trust in modern authorities was complete. ii This study argues that commercial world atlas compilers of London and Paris strove to meet these challenges through marketing strategies of authorial self-presentation designed to promote their authority to create a trustworthy world atlas. It identifies and examines several key personas that, deployed through atlas texts and portraits, together formed a self-presentation asserting the atlas producer’s cultural authority.
