Author: Antonio de ULLOA y de la Torre-Giral (1716 -1795) & Jorge JUAN y Santacilia (1713 – 1773). Place and Year: Madrid, 1748. Technique: Copper Engraving (Very Good, original vertical folds, strong, dark engraving impression, tight upper margin as issued, very minor stains in margins), 28 x 41.5 cm (11 x 16 inches). Code: 61581 This fine map depicts Cartagena de las Indias (Colombia), which was then the most important port along the Spanish Main (the Caribbean Coast of South America). Founded in 1533, Cartagena had risen to become one of the primary conduits for the massive quantities gold and silver brought down from the Andes, which was shipped on forward to Seville, via Havana. As shown on the map, the city rested upon low peninsulas guarding the Boca Chica, a fine natural harobur. One of the most heavily-fortified places in the world, both sectors of the city were entirely enveloped in walls, while bastions protected strategic points. The various aspects of Cartagena’s vast defensive network is detailed on the map’s legend (in the lower left), labeled A to Z, the highlight of which is X, the mighty Castillo de San Felipe de Baragas, which occupied the hill above the city. Various other aspects of the city, such as its many churches and public buildings, are also detailed in the legend, labeled 1to 29.

PLANO ESPECIAL PARA AUTOMÓVILES. A large and highly attractive Art Nouveau style street plan of Buenos Aires, especially made for drivers in the early age of automobiles. Author: OFICINA CARTOGRAFICA BEMPORAT. Place and Year: Córdoba, Argentina: Oficina Cartográfica Bemporat, [circa 1930]. Technique: Chromolithograph map, folding into original card wallet with 16 pp. index (Excellent condition, some areas of light toning to map), 72 x 74 cm (28.5 x 29 inches). Code: 62539 Buenos Aires unfolds majestically on this fine plan, made around 1930, during a period of explosive economic, cultural and population growth for the Argentine capital. High commodity prices had seen Argentina become one of the most vibrant economies in the world, while decades of European immigration had made Buenos Aires into one of the most culturally sophisticated cites in the Americas. The city’s population had spiked from around 800,000 in 1903 to over 2.2 million in 1928. The vast grid of streets and squares depicted on the map was lined with elegant apartment blocks and grand public edifices. This particular early edition of the Bemporat plan of Buenos Aires was made especially for automobile drivers, at the very time that the use of cars was becoming widespread for the first time. Explained within the box entitled ‘Pavimentacion Urbana’, in the lower right, the streets heightened in red are cobbled, while the streets heightened in blue are paved with asphalt. The insets along the sides detail some of the city’s outlying residential barrios.The numbers on the map correspond to the index the accompanying index, while a plastic square, included in the map’s wallet assists in locating the precise coordinates. Emphasized by the borders, the cartouches and the compass rose, the map assumes the elegant contemporary style of the Art Nouveau. The Oficina Cartográfica Bemporat was an important Argentine map publishing house based in Córdoba that operated from about 1928 until 1970. They specialized in large, colourful and elegantly lithographed folding city plans and regional maps.

    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.

  • A History of the World in Twelve Maps
    Book Review / A History of the World in Twelve Maps A History of the World in Twelve Maps Author Jerry Brotton Renaissance Studies at Queen Mary University of London, UK Review of International Geographical Education Online ©RIGEO, 8(3), Winter 2018 Reviewer Niyazi KAYA1 National Ministry of Education, Ankara, TURKEY Publisher: Allen Lane Publication Year: 2012 Edition: First Edition Pages: 514 + xviii Price: £32.99 ISBN: 978-0-141-03493-5 Jerry Brotton is Professor of Renaissance Studies at Queen Mary University of London. In his recent work Jerry Brotton, as a leading expert in the history of maps and Renaissance cartography, presents the histories of twelve maps belonging to different eras from the mystical representations of ancient times to Google Earth. He examines the stories of these twelve maps as having important roles in the context of regional and global perspectives of past and today's world. His book is an interesting and significant contribution to the interdisciplinary approach between history and geography. In addition to the twelve maps, thirty four figures and fifty six illustrations are included in this book, which aims to tell history through maps. All of the maps chosen by the author should not be regarded as the best ones of their times. Conversely, many of them were heavily criticized at the moment of their completion. Some maps were neglected at the time or subsequently dismissed as outdated or obscure. The author stresses that all the maps he analyzed in detail bear witness that one way of trying to understand the histories of our world is by exploring how the spaces within it are mapped (p.16).

  • Antique Maps and the Study Ok Caribbean Prehistory
    ANTIQUE MAPS AND THE STUDY OK CARIBBEAN PREHISTORY Stephen D. Glazier In this presentation I will explore possible uses of sixteenth and seventeenth century maps for the study of Caribbean prehistory and protohistory. Several considerations entered into my choice of maps, the foremost of which was accessibility. Maps covered in this present­ ation are readily available through private collections, the map trade, museums, libraries and in facsimile. Accuracy was a secondary consideration. The succession of New World maps is not a general progression from the speculative to the scientific, and at times, as Bernardo Vega demonstrated in his mono­ graph on the caciques of Hispaniola, early maps may be more accurate than later editions. Professor Vega found that the map of Morales (1508) was far superior to later maps and that it was far more accurate than the published accounts of Las Casas and Oveido (Vega 1980: 22). Tooley (1978: xv), the foremost authority on antique maps, claims that seventeenth century maps are much more "decorative" than sixteenth century maps. Whenever mapmakers of the sixteenth century encountered gaps in their knowledge of an area, they simply left that area blank or added a strapwork cartouche. Seventeenth century map- makers, on the other hand, felt obliged to fill in all gaps by provid­ ing misinformation of depicting native ways of life and flora and fauna. Sea monsters and cannibals were commonly used. All mapmakers claimed to base their works on the "latest" inform­ ation; however, it is my contention that maps are essentially conserv­ ative documents. A number of factors militated against the rapid assimilation of new data.

  • Crop Prices in the Austrian Monarchy (1770–1816): the Role of Crop Failures and Money Inflation
    ECONOMICS AND MANAGEMENT CROP PRICES IN THE AUSTRIAN MONARCHY (1770–1816): THE ROLE OF CROP FAILURES AND MONEY INFLATION J. Blahovec Czech University of Life Sciences Prague, Faculty of Engineering, Prague, Czech Republic The paper is based on data about local cereal prices in Bohemia recorded in the course of 46 years (1770–1816) by F.J. Vavák, Czech farmer living close to Prague. This information appeared in a series of his memoirs published within 1907–1938 and in 2009. The data analysis shows that annual means of prices of wheat, rye, and barley are relatively well correlated and can be used for illustration of the state monetary situation. A higher variation of the annual mean values was observed only in times of crop failure and was also related to the new harvest. The data obtained for pea differ from the data mentioned above. It was shown that the market prices were influenced mainly by crop failures caused by weather and climate and by the state monetary policies. The money purchasing power was influenced either by objective causes, like crop failures of reversible character, or by subjective changes caused mainly by inflationary monetary policies which in the case of Austria had conduced to a state bankruptcy. cereals; market; weather; monetary policy; bankruptcy doi: 10.1515/sab-2015-0026 Received for publication on January 16, 2015 Accepted for publication on June 24, 2015 INTRODUCTION for financing a powerful army, the problem was re- solved traditionally by various methods of credit.
