Excellent. Full margined example with a sharp, bold strike and attractive original color. Size 14 x 19.56 Inches. This is a superb, original color example of Jodocus Hondius's 1609 map of Cuba and Hispaniola, with inset maps of Jamaica, Puerto Rico, and Margarita Island. It is a beautifully engraving, whose rich detail, ships and sea monsters make it a most desirable work. Sources Hondius' geographical information was drawn from the 1569 Mercator wall map of America, which also informed the Mercator map of the western hemisphere that would appear in the early editions of the Mercator-Hondius atlas. Neither it nor Hondius' own 1606 map of the Americas showed the Caribbean islands in sharp detail, and so this sheet was engraved to provide sharper focus on these significant islands. A map focusing on the West Indies as a whole would not be added to the Mercator-Hondius atlas until 1636, so for the first thirty years of the atlas this map - or more precisely, this collection of five maps on a single sheet - represented the most detailed depiction of these islands in the atlas. Tellingly, its last appearance in the book was in a 1638 Latin text edition. Apparently Hondius and Jansson decided a full map of the Caribbean Islands was preferable, and thus did not rework the plate. The Composition Cuba takes pride of place, including the Cayman Islands, the Isla de Pinas, and part of Hispaniola. There is an inset map of the port of Havana and its vicinity. The beautifully engraved sea areas include several sea monsters. The map of Hispaniola, although placed below Cuba, is better detailed. A fine sailing ship and three sea monsters appear off the coast. One of these monsters appears to be a gargantuan, aquatic Yorkshire terrier menacing the northern coast. Jamaica, Puerto Rico (Ins. S. Ioannis) and the island of Saint Margaret all appear on the left. S. Margareta includes part of the nearby Venezuelan coast. Publication History and Census This map was engraved by Jodocus Hondius the Elder for inclusion in the 1606 edition of the Mercator and Hondius Atlas and was included in editions of the work until 1634. This example conforms typographically to the 1619 French edition of the work. Although the map does appear on the market, early examples with sharp impressions and bright original color, as here, have become increasingly scarce. References: OCLC 13295822. Rumsey 10501.511.

1st Edition. Good. Original blue paper backing. Some spotting. Minor dampstain upper left corner. Size 27.25 x 41 Inches. This is a rare 1864 James Imray and Son blueback nautical chart or maritime map of Hispaniola or Santo Domingo, here identified as 'Haïti'. The chart is large and finely engraved with ample coastal detail, some inland topography, and depth soundings throughout. Pencil marks trace a Spanish voyage, likely out of Cadiz, along the island's northern coast. Historical Context When this map was issued, Hispaniola was divided between two rival powers despite being singularly identified as 'Haïti' here. Haiti, primarily occupied by French-speaking formerly enslaved people, occupied the eastern 2/3rds of the island. The Spanish-speaking Santo Domingo, today's Dominican Republic, occupied the eastern third. The entire island, at the time, was in political disarray. Haiti was controlled by Guillaume Fabre Nicolas Geffrard (1806 - 1878), the self-styled 'Duke of Tabara', a former general and the President of Haiti from 1859 to 1867. On the Dominican side of the island, Pedro Santana y Familias (1801 - 1864) was attempting to return Santo Domingo to Spanish rule despite significant internal protest, leading to the Dominican Restoration War (1863 - 1865). In the year after this map was made, Santana died, and Buenaventura Báez (1812 - 1884) established the Second Dominican Republic, becoming its first president. Blueback Charts Blueback nautical charts began appearing in London in the late 18th century. Bluebacks, as they came to be called, were privately published large-format nautical charts known for their distinctive blue paper backing. The backing, a commonly available blue manila paper traditionally used by publishers to wrap unbound pamphlets, was adopted as a practical way to reinforce the low-quality paper used by private chart publishers to cut costs. That being said, not all blueback charts are literally backed with blue paper. The earliest known blueback charts include a 1760 chart issued by Mount and Page and a 1787 chart issued by Robert Sayer. The tradition took off in the early 19th century, when British publishers like John Hamilton Moore, Robert Blachford, James Imray, William Heather, John William Norie, Charles Wilson, David Steel, R. H. Laurie, and John Hobbs, among others, rose to dominate the chart trade. Bluebacks became so popular that the convention was embraced by chartmakers outside of England, including Americans Edmund March Blunt and George Eldridge, as well as Scandinavian, French, German, Russian, and Spanish chartmakers. Blueback charts remained popular until the late 19th century when government-subsidized organizations like the British Admiralty Hydrographic Office and the United States Coast Survey began issuing superior charts on high-quality paper that did not require reinforcement. Publication History and Census This map was published in London by James Imray and Son, chartmakers, in 1864. This is most likely the first edition, as it is the earliest we have identified. Curiously, the map was printed on the back of another chart - depicting the Thames Estuary, also by Imray, giving some insight into the firm's 'recycling' operation. This chart is extremely rare, with no recorded holdings of the map in this edition. Brown University has an 1882 edition. The Bibliothèque Nationale de France has another, dated 1867, and a third example is cataloged at the Museu Marítim de Barcelona. References: OCLC 36721085 (1882), 495082330 (1867).

Very good. Some reinstatement of margin at top, not affecting printed image. Else excellent condition with original outline color. Size 19 x 24.5 Inches. This is a 1745 Phillipe Buache edition of Guillaume De l'Isle's beautifully engraved 1725 map of the island of Hispaniola or Saint Domingue, modern-day Haiti and the Dominican Republic. It is considered one of the best and most detailed maps of the island if its generation. A Closer Look It is based on, but not a rote copy of, Amédée-Françis Frézier's 1722 Isle de S. Domingue et débouquemens circonvoisins. As such, it is one of the best-informed maps of the island available. Frézier was sent to Saint Domingue in 1719 to oversee the fortification of the French Colony, and during the course of these labors he also produced his 1722 map. Even so, the map's topographical features are largely rendered pictorially. Lakes, rivers, and towns are marked and named, including Santo Domingo and Port-au-Prince. The map includes descriptive notations to flesh out these details: 'toute ce milieu de l'isle est montueux et presque desert,' for example. (All this central part of the island is mountainous and nearly deserted.) The Cattle Market In the central part of the island is the town of Hincha. This village, founded by Spanish settlers in 1704, was economically significant beyond its small size: it was a cattle town able to capitalize on selling beef to the neighboring French colony where it was more than seven times as expensive than in the Spanish quarters of the island. Samaná The map illustrates the Baye de Samana, now known as a winter mating ground for humpback whales. Partially enclosing the bay, to the north, is the Cap de Samaná: an important instance of this peninsula being correctly depicted as an island (albeit with a lake and two streams making this depiction ambiguous.) It is odd that the erroneous insular Samana would appear almost entirely in French cartography subsequent to the De l'Isle: D'Anville, Bellin and Vaugondy all perpetuate the canard. The Bahamas De l'Isle's map diverges sharply from Frézier's in its depiction of the Bahamas. Placenames, topology, and the shallows differ sharply. The version of these islands that appeared on Frézier's 1722 map would be closely copied by D'Anville and Vaugondy, among others. De l'Isle appears to be relying on a different model - his depiction of the Turcs, Caicos, and Bahamas do not resemble even De l'Isle's own earlier printed maps. Between Acklins Island and Samana Cay is a string of islands named 'Les Cayes Françoises' which make no such appearance on the Frézier. Publication History and Census This map was engraved for inclusion with De l'Isle's atlases in 1725. This does not aid us in the census, as his atlases were made-to-order with varying content, and did not include printed title pages. His student, Philippe Buache, took over the firm in partnership with De l'Isle's widow, and it is his imprint (with the date of 1745) that appears here. There are four versions of this map that appear in Tooley: the 1725 first state, Buache's second state of 1745, and the 1780 Dezauche third state. The 1730 Covens and Mortier edition is a different engraving. These are well represented in institutional collections. References: OCLC 11908357. Rumsey (1725), 4764.000. Tooley, R.
