Having been introduced to the wonders of cartography by a friend, I have spent the past two decades improving my expertise and knowledge on the subject. It is always a thrill to find a map of particular importance or interest and I have been lucky enough to have come across several on my journey. Up until now I have never issued a printed catalogue as my web site is easily accessible, making it convenient to immediately see what I have in stock. However, I decided that a catalogue would be a fitting way to celebrate my twenty years in the business, and here it is. It is not a conventional catalogue, one organised geographically, but a personal selection of items I have in stock that I find exciting and that remind me why I chose to make antiquarian cartography such an important part of my life. Hopefully my passions have successfully transferred to the printed page: if it inspires anyone to look deeper into the subject my full web catalogue can be found at www.alteagallery.com Massimo De Martini 2 ALTEA GALLERY The ‘earliest systematic city atlas’ 1 BRAUN, Georg & HOGENBERG, Frans. Civitates Orbis Terrarum. Cologne: 1572-1618. Six volumes, folio, contemporary vellum with gilt titles on spine; containing 6 engraved title-pages and 363 double-page plates of maps and views. £150,000 A fine example of this monumental city atlas, produced as a companion to Ortelius’s ‘Theatrum Orbis Terrarum’ atlas, with text by Georg Braun and plates engraved by Frans Hogenberg and others. The first volume was originally published in 1572, but these are a later printing, making a uniform set with the last volume, the sixth, which first appeared in 1617. The 363 plates are an impressive record of the notable towns of the period, mostly in Europe but also some in Asia and Africa, and even two in the New World, Mexico City and Cusco. The inclusion of dress and events in the foreground add extra local detail. KOEMAN: Vol 2, p 10: ‘the earliest systematic city atlas’; TOOLEY: ‘one of the great books of the World... a wonderful compendium of knowledge of life in Europe in the sixteenth century’. S/N: 13029 WWW.ALTEAGALLERY.COM ALTEA GALLERY 3 See also items 33 & 94 TEL: +44 (0)20 7491 0010 4 ALTEA GALLERY THREE ORTELIUS ATLASES Abraham Ortelius is one of the best-known names in early map-making, and his world atlas, the ‘Theatrum Orbis Terrarum’, is a landmark publication, regarded as the first atlas in the modern sense of the word. The style he developed was the template for atlas production for several centuries. Here are three atlases in different formats: a ‘Theatrum’, an ‘Additamentum’, a collection of new maps, and a ‘Parergon’, his atlas of the ancient world. Ortelius’s Theatrum in a fine binding 2 ORTELIUS, Abraham. Theatrum Orbis Terrarum... Antwerp: Gillis van den Rade, 1575, Latin text edition. Folio, rebound in contemporary blind-stamped calf gilt; pp. (xix), 70 maps in fine colour with gold highlights.+ (92) (Synonymia & Index) + (6) (De Mona Druidum Insula...) + (2) (Privilege & Colophon). £80,000 An early example of the world’s first regularly-produced atlas, with uniform maps and text designed to be bound, published only five years after the first edition. In that time the number of maps had increased from 53 to 70 and the text had been enlarged with the inclusion of the ‘Synonymia Locorum’ and ‘De Mona druidum Insula’ (Welshman Humphrey Llwyd’s letter to Ortelius about the druids of Anglesey). Originally this example must have been a large-paper example, which someone put to use with extensive old ink marginalia (Italian-language geographical notes) on some maps, particularly the East Indies. When the atlas was rebound in a standard-sized binding great care was taken to preserve the writing, so the edges of some maps are folded in. VAN DEN BROECKE: p.25, estimating 100 copies printed; KOEMAN: Ort 13. S/N: 12866 WWW.ALTEAGALLERY.COM ALTEA GALLERY 5 The rare fourth Additamentum, with the first regular appearances of the maps of Iceland and the Pacific 3 ORTELIUS, Abraham. Additamentum IV Theatri Orbis Terrarum. Antwerp: Officina Plantiana, 1590. Folio, contemporary gilt-tooled calf. Letterpress title page and 22 maps with text on reverse, without pagination, as called for. Two old ink mss. ownership inscription on titlepage. £32,000 A fine example of the fourth Additamentum atlas by Ortelius, containing the twenty-two maps engraved since the 1587 edition of the Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, arranged in alphabetical order. As the volume was meant to compliment this earlier edition, not many copies were printed: van den Broecke estimates only 100 were printed, of which he could trace 50 existing examples. Of these new maps eight are ‘modern’ and fourteen are maps for the Parergon, Ortelius’s atlas of the ancient world. The ancient maps include the ‘Wanderings of Abraham’, surrounded by 22 roundel scenes; the world as known by the ancients; and a two-sheet map of ancient Britain with a huge vignette sea-battle. The ‘modern’ maps include two of the most popular maps by Ortelius, the superb ‘Maris Pacifici’, the first map of the Pacific Ocean, and ‘Islandia’, showing Iceland surrounded by sea-monsters. The front board has the stamped coat-of-arms of David von Spaur, provost of Bressanone, who also added his signature to the bottom of the title page. KOEMAN: Ort 25; VAN DEN BROECKE: p. 25. S/N: 12947 Ortelius’s atlas of the Ancient World 4 ORTELIUS, Abraham. Theatri Orbis Terrarum Parergon; sive sive Veteris Geographiæ Aliquot Tabulæ, Commentarijs Geographicis et Histroricis illustratæ. Editio Novissima, Tabulis aliquot acuta, et varie emendata atque innovata, Cura et Studio Balthasaris Moreti. [with] Nomenclator Ptolemaicus... Antwerp, Officiana Plantiniana, 1624. Two books in one. Folio, modern vellum over limp boards; engraved title, arms of Philip IV of Spain, dedication; pp. (iv) + xlix (sheets) containing 36 maps on 39 double-page sheets, 3 double-page views, 1 costume plate on two double-pages, as called; pp. 34 (Nomenclator); woodcut printer’s colophon. £19,500 The last and largest edition of the Parergon, Ortelius’s personal project, with new maps of the Eastern and Western parts of the Ancient World, surrounded by text; and the four-sheet Peutinger Table. These were added to other maps with both classical and biblical themes, including the wanderings of Odysseus, Abraham and Paul the Apostle. Unlike the maps in the ‘Theatrum’, Ortelius drew these himself. The first to appear were published in an Additamentum to the Theatrum in 1579, but as more were completed the Parergon became an atlas in its own right. S/N: 13026 TEL: +44 (0)20 7491 0010 6 ALTEA GALLERY DE BRY’S AMERICAN VOYAGES Theodor De Bry’s collection of Great Travels contains important first-hand accounts of attempts to settle North America, including the English colony at Roanoke and the French in Florida. Among the illustrations are John Smith’s drawings of Virginia and Jacques Le Moyne’s of Florida, the first realistic representations of the Americas available to Europeans. Here we have a volume containing approximately the first half of the Voyages, and two of the most significant maps from the series. The Great or American Voyages 5 DE BRY, Theodore et al. Frankfurt: 1594-1617. Parts I-VI only (of 13) in one volume. Latin text. Folio (335 x 235 mm), 17th century vellum over pasteboard, the flat spine with small panel outlined in gilt with rolls, titled in gilt within the panel.

    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.

  • 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’.

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.

  • Early Colonial Life
    Early Colonial Life The 16th century was the age of mercantilism, an extremely competitive economic philosophy that pushed European nations to acquire as many colonies as they could. As a result, for the most part, the English colonies in North America were business ventures. They provided an outlet for England’s surplus population and more religious freedom than England did, but their primary purpose was to make money for their sponsors. The first English settlement in North America was established in 1587, when a group of colonists (91 men, 17 women and nine children) led by Sir Walter Raleigh settled on the island of Roanoke. Mysteriously, the Roanoke colony had vanished entirely. Historians still do not know what became of its inhabitants. In 1606, King James I divided the Atlantic seaboard in two, giving the southern half to the Virginia Company and the northern half to the Plymouth Company. In 1606, just a few months after James I issued its charter, the London Company sent 144 men to Virginia on three ships: the Godspeed, the Discovery and the Susan Constant. They reached the Chesapeake Bay in the spring of 1607 and headed about 60 miles up the James River, where they built a settlement they called Jamestown. The Jamestown colonists had a rough time of it: They were so busy looking for gold and other exportable resources that they could barely feed themselves. It was not until 1616, when Virginia’s settlers learned to grow tobacco and John Smith’s leadership helped the colony survive. The first African slaves arrived in Virginia in 1619.

  • The Frontiersman from Lout to Hero Notes on the Significance Ofthe Comparative Method and the Stage Theory in Early American Literature and Cidture
    The Frontiersman from Lout to Hero Notes on the Significance ofthe Comparative Method and the Stage Theory in Early American Literature and Cidture J. A. LEO LEMAY XHROUGHOUTTHE seventeenth and most of the eighteenth centuries, the frontiersman was generally regarded as a shift- less outcast, a lout tending to criminality, a villain too lazy or too stupid or too vulgar to exist in society, and a traitor to the culture.1 Long before the concept ofthe frontiersman existed, men who adopted Indian customs were regarded with suspi- cion and fear by their white contemporaries. In Virginia in 1612, Sir Thomas Dale punished those who 'did Runne Away unto the Indjans' in 'A moste severe mannor.' 'Some he apointed to be hanged Some burned Some to be broken upon This paper in a slightly different form was read at the annual meeting ofthe American Antiquarian Society on October 19, 1977. • The only previous work I know that deals specifically with 'the emergence ofthe frontiersman as a heroic figure' is Jules Zanger, 'The Frontiersman in Popular Fiction, 1820-60,' in John F. McDermott, ed.. The Frontier Re-examined (Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 1967), pp. 141-53, where Zanger claims the heroic frontiersman emerged in response to ( 1 ) the popularity of Sir Walter Scott's Waverley novels; (2) 'the public acclaim won by Jackson's Kentucky rifleman at New Orleans'; (3) the pop- ular images of Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett; and (4) the character of Natty Bumppo in Cooper's Leatherstocking series of novels. All these influences, with the exception of the early fame of Daniel Boone, are later than eighteenth-century, the primary period that I am considering.

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. It is aimed to assess the strategical importance of the Arctic based on the analysis of classical geopolitical theories of Sir Halford Mackinder and General Karl Haushofer.
