Catalogue Summer 2012
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. -

Barry Lawrence Ruderman Antique Maps Inc. 7407 La Jolla Boulevard www.raremaps.com (858) 551-8500 La Jolla, CA 92037 [email protected] Americae et Proximar Regionum Orae Descriptio Stock#: 50175 Map Maker: Mazza Date: 1589 circa Place: Venice Color: Uncolored Condition: VG Size: 18 x 13 inches Price: SOLD Description: First State of One of the Most Important Sixteenth-Century Maps of the Americas and the Pacific This is of only a few surviving examples of the Venetian mapmaker Giovanni Battista Mazza's separately issued Lafreri School map of the Americas and the Pacific, published by Donato Roscicotti. 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. -

Critical Assessment of the Arctic´s geostrategic importance during World War I and World War II. Praha, 2017, 46 s. Bakalářská práce. Univerzita Karlova, Fakulta sociálních věd, Institut politologických studií. Vedoucí práce PhDr. Irena Valková, Ph.D. Abstrakt v češtině Tahle práce se věnuje role Arktidy během první a druhé světové války. Její cílem je posouzení strategického významu Arktidy založené na analýze kritických geopolitických teorií Sira Halforda Mackindera a Generála Karla Haushofera. Analýza je doplněná o historický přehled vojenských aktivit na Arktidě během dvou světových válek. Použitá metoda v téhle interpretativní studii Arktického regionu je komparace. Využíváme historicko-analytický přístup, který zohledňuje roli systémových struktur makrosociálních jevů a zároveň specifické chování aktérů v jednotlivých případech. Jde o základní pokus o komparativní historií, která je součástí této analyticko-popisné komparativní studie. Porovnáváme odlišné přístupy klasických geopolitických teorií vůči Arktickému regionu. Následně se věnujeme vojenské aktivitě od začátku první světové války do konce druhé světové války v Arktickém regionu. Věnujeme se otázkám zdrojů, mořských cest a roli Aljašky. Práce je zakončená kritickým posouzením přístupu geopolitických teorií k Arktickému regionu a jejich potenciální korelaci s vojenskou aktivitou první a druhé světové války. Abstract in English This work is devoted to the role of the Arctic region during World War I and World War II.

O. Box 299, St. Louis, MO 63166–0299 U.S.A.; [email protected] Abstract A widely accessible list of known plant species is a fundamental requirement for plant conservation and has vast applications. An index of published names of liverworts and hornworts between 2009 and 2010 is provided as part of a continued effort in working toward producing a world checklist of this group. Included in the list are also names overlooked by earlier indices. The list includes 30 higher taxa, 250 species, 52 infraspecific taxa, 31 autonyms, and two fossils for 2009 and 2010. A number of taxa not covered by the earlier indices for 2000-2008 are also included. Key words: Liverworts, hornworts, index, nomenclature Introduction Under the auspices of the Early Land Plants Today project, there has been a strong community-driven effort attempting to address the critical need to synthesize the vast nomenclatural, taxonomic and global distributional data for liverworts (Marchantiophyta) and hornworts (Anthocerotophyta) (von Konrat et al. 2010a). These endeavours are critical in providing the foundation to develop a working checklist of liverworts and hornworts worldwide; the first version is projected to be published in 2012. -
1 AAM of Chapter Six of Pacific Futures
AAM of Chapter Six of Pacific Futures: Past and Present, ed. Warwick Anderson, Miranda Johnson, and Barbara Brookes, 131–54 (Honolulu: University of Hawai’i Press, 2018) Imagined Futures in the Past: Empire, Place, Race and Nation in the Mapping of Oceania Bronwen Douglas Abstract Since 1511, recurrent couplings of fact and fantasy, the familiar and the imagined, have driven the European invention, naming, mapping and regionalization of the fifth part of the world, known as Oceania after 1815. Using comparative critique of maps as historical texts, this chapter investigates the relationships of experience, expectation and hope in cartography’s varied graphic realization or anticipation of religious, imperial, scientific, racial, colonial, national and digital visions. I outline successive vignettes of the spatial framing of the fifth part of the world or Oceania as mapped and named from the sixteenth century—in early modern geopolitics, in shifting global visions from the Renaissance to the late eighteenth century, and in regional cartography from the mid-eighteenth to the twenty-first centuries. The vignettes conjoin to show how uneasy liaisons of empirical observation, imagination, desire and deductive reasoning generated Euro-American maps, culminating in the appropriated colonial palimpsest that underlies modern maps of Oceania’s states. I conclude by reflecting briefly on the present and future implications of digitization, with its paradoxical blend of democratization and dehumanization, for cartography, its history and its audiences. Keywords Oceania, maps, cartography, experience, desire, imagination, race, colony, nation 1 Maps always combine elements of fact and fancy, if diversely and to varying degrees depending on era, agenda and genre.1 In European cartography after 1500, the shifting liaison of familiar and imagined is notable with respect to the vast, largely maritime section of the globe that spans what are now Island Southeast Asia, Australia, New Guinea, Aotearoa-New Zealand and the Pacific Islands. -

ABRAHAM OERTEL (ABRAHAM ORTELIUS) “NARRATIVE HISTORY” AMOUNTS TO FABULATION, THE REAL STUFF BEING MERE CHRONOLOGY “Stack of the Artist of Kouroo” Project Abraham Ortelius HDT WHAT? INDEX ABRAHAM ORTELIUS ABRAHAM OERTEL 1527 April 14, Sunday (Old Style): Abraham Ortelius or Oertel was born in Antwerp, in the Seventeen Provinces region ruled by the Habsburgs of Austria. He was, therefore, Flemish, but the family had originated in Augsburg, a free imperial city of the Holy Roman Empire. Following the death of his father, his uncle Jacobus van Meteren would return from religious exile in England to care for him. He would remain close to his cousin Emanuel van Meteren who would later relocate to London. NOBODY COULD GUESS WHAT WOULD HAPPEN NEXT Abraham Ortelius “Stack of the Artist of Kouroo” Project HDT WHAT? INDEX ABRAHAM OERTEL ABRAHAM ORTELIUS 1535 The authorities began to suspect that the family of Abraham Ortelius, secretly, was a Protestant one. In Germany, the Anabaptist city of Münster capitulated to the Hessian army. The leader John of Leiden would be tortured to death and his rotting corpse would be displayed permanently in a cage attached to the spire of St. Lambert’s Church. HDT WHAT? INDEX ABRAHAM OERTEL ABRAHAM ORTELIUS 1547 After an apprenticeship as a map-engraver Abraham Ortelius entered the Antwerp Guild of Saint Luke as an illuminator of maps. He would be supplementing this income by trading in books, prints, and maps, and his journeys would therefore include yearly visits to the book and print fair at Frankfurt, Germany. CARTOGRAPHY German cavalrymen were reported as carrying wheel-lock pistols, in scabbards slung from their saddles and in addition stuffed into their boots. -

More than that, he was also one of the most productive artistic geniuses who ever lived. His talents were remarkably varied: in addition to the magnificent religious and mythological canvases for which he is most famous, he also painted landscapes and portraits, as well as making designs for book illustrations, tapestries, buildings and sculptures. He was an outstanding colourist, who raised the skilled use of a rich palette of shades and tints to a new and important form of expression. He also understood the techniques necessary to create dramatic scenes that were capable of seizing and holding the imagination of the viewer. -
