Or Later, but Before 1650] 687X868mm. Copper Engraving On
60 Willem Janszoon BLAEU (1571-1638). Pascaarte van alle de Zécuften van EUROPA. Nieulycx befchreven door Willem Ianfs. Blaw. Men vintfe te coop tot Amsterdam, Op't Water inde vergulde Sonnewÿser. [Amsterdam, 1621 or later, but before 1650] 687x868mm. Copper engraving on parchment, coloured by a contemporary hand. Cropped, as usual, on the neat line, to the right cut about 5mm into the printed area. The imprint is on places somewhat weaker and /or ink has been faded out. One small hole (1,7x1,4cm.) in lower part, inland of Russia. As often, the parchment is wavy, with light water staining, usual staining and surface dust. First state of two. The title and imprint appear in a cartouche, crowned by the printer's mark of Willem Jansz Blaeu [INDEFESSVS AGENDO], at the center of the lower border. Scale cartouches appear in four corners of the chart, and richly decorated coats of arms have been engraved in the interior. The chart is oriented to the west. It shows the seacoasts of Europe from Novaya Zemlya and the Gulf of Sydra in the east, and the Azores and the west coast of Greenland in the west. In the north the chart extends to the northern coast of Spitsbergen, and in the south to the Canary Islands. The eastern part of the Mediterranean id included in the North African interior. The chart is printed on parchment and coloured by a contemporary hand. The colours red and green and blue still present, other colours faded. An intriguing line in green colour, 34 cm long and about 3mm bold is running offshore the Norwegian coast all the way south of Greenland, and closely following Tara Polar Arctic Circle ! Blaeu's chart greatly influenced other Amsterdam publisher's. -
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’. -

Motifs in Peter Paul Rubens's the Martyrdom of Saint
113 ‘Indian’ motifs in Peter Paul Rubens’s The martyrdom of Saint Thomas and The miracles of Saint Francis Xavier* Barbara Uppenkamp Introduction In his painting for the altar of the Augustinian church in Prague representing the martyrdom of Saint Thomas in India, Peter Paul Rubens faced the difficult task of having to depict, as faithfully as possible, the unfamiliar location where the dramatic events unfurled (fig. 1).1 The legend that Thomas was an architect of Roman antiquity who went to India to build a palace might have prompted Rubens to combine elements of classical Roman architecture with others, which to him and his contemporaries would have suggested an Indian setting. The purpose of this study is to examine Rubens’s knowledge of Asian architecture and sculpture as deduced from sources that were available to him. To this end, reference will be made above all to the stock of his extensive library as documented by three sources.2 The most important of these are the journals of the Officina Plantiniana, where his book purchases are recorded. Besides this, Rubens’s wide-ranging correspondence gives an impression of the vast breadth of his erudition. Finally, the auction catalogue of the library belonging to his son Albert (1614-1657) indicates which books had probably been in Rubens’s possession, given that Albert inherited his father’s books.3 Accordingly, Rubens can be presumed to have owned the great cartographic works Civitates orbis terrarum by Georg Braun (1541-1622) and Frans Hogenberg (1535-1590), the Thesaurus geographicus by Abraham Ortelius (1527-1598), and L’histoire des Indes de Portugal by Fernão Lopes de Castanheda (c. -

Colonial Failure in the Anglo-North Atlantic World, 1570-1640 (2015)
FINDLEY JR, JAMES WALTER, Ph.D. “Went to Build Castles in the Aire:” Colonial Failure in the Anglo-North Atlantic World, 1570-1640 (2015). Directed by Dr. Phyllis Whitman Hunter. 266pp. This study examines the early phases of Anglo-North American colonization from 1570 to 1640 by employing the lenses of imagination and failure. I argue that English colonial projectors envisioned a North America that existed primarily in their minds – a place filled with marketable and profitable commodities waiting to be extracted. I historicize the imagined profitability of commodities like fish and sassafras, and use the extreme example of the unicorn to highlight and contextualize the unlimited potential that America held in the minds of early-modern projectors. My research on colonial failure encompasses the failure of not just physical colonies, but also the failure to pursue profitable commodities, and the failure to develop successful theories of colonization. After roughly seventy years of experience in America, Anglo projectors reevaluated their modus operandi by studying and drawing lessons from past colonial failure. Projectors learned slowly and marginally, and in some cases, did not seem to learn anything at all. However, the lack of learning the right lessons did not diminish the importance of this early phase of colonization. By exploring the variety, impracticability, and failure of plans for early settlement, this study investigates the persistent search for usefulness of America by Anglo colonial projectors in the face of high rate of -

432 1 Americæa Pars Borealis, Florida
#432 Americæa Pars Borealis, Florida, Baccalaos, Canada, Corterealis Description: Cornelis de Jode’s map of North America is preceded only by the separately issued Forlani/Zaltieri map of 1565 (#391), and an extremely rare separately issued map. Together with a smaller western sheet, Quivirae, this was the first folio sized atlas map to focus on North America. The plates were purchased by J.B. Vrients who kept de Jode’s work out of publication in favor of Ortelius’ Theatrum. The French, like the British, resented the exclusive Iberian franchise on new lands dictated by the papal demarcation line, and tried to stake out claims of their own in what is now the United States. They targeted the region of northern Florida, officially in the Spanish sphere of influence. Although it had been abandoned by Spain as a region of serious exploration by a decree of Philip II in 1561, French presence there was nonetheless viewed as trespassing. The experience of France’s first attempt to colonize northern Florida, in 1562, is sadly parallel to what would happen to the British in Roanoke two decades later. Jean Ribault and Rene Goulaine de Laudonniere commanded the mission, which crossed the Atlantic directly from the French port of Havre de Grace to North America, rather than sailing the more common route through the Spanish Main and north. De Jode has written Laudnner hue. appulit and Ribaldus hue, at their landfall on the Florida peninsula. From there, they reconnoitered north, reaching a large river they named Mai because they found it on the first day of May. -
