Ortelius was a great compiler of newly discovered geographical facts and information. His New World mapping is also a study in early conjecture, including a generous northwest passage below the Terra Septentrionalis Incognita, and a projection of the St. Lawrence reaching to the middle of the continent. Ortelius’s map includes Terra Australis Nondum Cognita, reflecting the misconception held at the time of a massive southern continent, that incorporates Tierra del Fuego in this southern polar region rather than in South America. The relatively unknown regions across Northeast Asia distort the outline of Japan considerably. In the North Atlantic, the outline of Scandinavia is skewed, and Greenland appears very close to Abraham Ortelius (1528–1598). “Typus Orbis Terrarum,” (Antwerp: 1570). First Edition.

A special point has been made to tell how and why these materials have been acquired over the years. One could reduce the “why” to two principal reasons: the efforts of past librarians and administrators to create a research collection in the Midwest of the United States, and the presence of a significant group of inhabitants of Dutch heritage in the western part of the state of Michigan. Information as to the “how” is part of the explanatory label for most items shown: when and from whom purchased or received as a gift. The earliest item is also one of the most beautiful: an illuminated Book of Hours, written and painted on vellum in The Netherlands during the second quarter of the fifteenth century.

    Fine, Decorative & Rare A SELECTION FROM STOCK www.jpmaps.co.uk www.jpmaps.co.uk Dear Map Enthusiast, We hope you enjoy our latest catalogue. Catalogues of old maps may be arranged according to geographical region, date of publication, mapmaker or, perhaps recording a specific topic. This catalogue has, within the geographical grouping of world maps, sections featuring the work of great cartographers, Ruscelli, Ortelius and Hondius. Within the selection of British maps are sections featuring maps of specific stages in county cartographic development and the catalogue concludes with a miscellany of carto-curiosities. All maps can be viewed on our website, jpmaps.co.uk, where each map is identified by its five-figure stock number. Either search, in the homepage "search" box at the top of the screen, or view maps within their own regional listing. During 45 years trading we have been asked innumerable questions including, more recently, questions of map provenance. Although often taken to mean "from which publication does this map come", more correctly provenance indicates the ownership history of an item. Often this is impossible to answer. However, in this catalogue we are pleased to identify a number of items as having come from the collection of the carto-historian Rodney Shirley (please see the end of catalogue note). Alert readers will note that the catalogue does not advertise our Bath gallery presence. From January 2018 we shall no longer trade from 5 Margarets Buildings, BA1 2LP. After 45 years of shop-keeping, we have decided to escape the administrative rigours of maintaining retail premises and will continue trading through the website, www.jpmaps.co.uk, at specialist fairs and through personal contact.
