1st Edition. Very good. Some marginal spots. Size 7.25 x 10 Inches. This is Girolamo Ruscelli's 1561 / 1574 map of the East Indies and Southeast Asia, considered to be among the earliest maps of Southeast Asia. Although based on Giacomo Gastaldi's 1548 map of the same title, it is roughly twice the size and better engraved. An Unknown Land This map represents an early and necessarily flawed look at newly discovered lands. Suarez, in his Early Mapping of Southeast Asia , manages his readers' expectations: To view the three Gastaldi maps (of Asia), one must first erase from one's mind any image whatsoever of what the Philippine or Micronesian islands 'look' like; only then can one sympathize with the chaos of these Pacific incunabula. The Scope The region mapped spans from the Ganges Delta to Southern China (Canton is labeled). Bengal, Burma (Berma), Pegu, and Cambodia (Camboia) are named. The Malay Peninsula, Malacca, Sumatra, and Java are clearly noted. To the east, the first glimpses of the Philippines and the Spice Islands are recorded. The island of Ambon, visited by Antonio de Abreu in 1512, was among the targets inspiring Magellan's 1519 circumnavigation. Magellan's Philippines The map reflects a heavy reliance on data from Magellan's voyage, which had returned in 1522 - albeit without Magellan himself, who was killed in the Battle of Mactan the year before. The island of Magellan's first landfall in the Philippines is shown: Aguada ( Homonhón in the first accounts of Magellan's voyage). Fateful Mactan ( Mata ) is also illustrated. Mindanao appears as Mendana . The map also incorporates other sources, most evident in the comparatively accurate representations of Palawan (Polaguan) and the volcanic island of Gunung Api (Ocape). This information cannot have come from Magellanic reports but likely was known to Gastaldi from other, now unknown, Portuguese sources. Publication History and Census This map was engraved by Giulio Sanuto for inclusion in the 1561 first Ruscelli edition of Claudius Ptolemy's La Geografia di Claudio Tolomeo . The maps of this work were engraved two-to-a-plate, and consequently, the platemark ran off the edge of the sheet at the top. This characterizes the maps of the Latin-text editions of 1562 and 1564 as well. For the 1574 edition, the plates were cut, and maps of that edition and later exhibit a platemark all the way around. The present example corresponds to the Italian 1574 edition, both in terms of the state of the map and the typography of the verso. There are eleven separate examples of this map listed in OCLC in various editions. Ruscelli's Ptolemy is well represented in institutional collections. References: OCLC 165561277.

Very good. Size 8 x 12.5 Inches. This is a rare c. 1845 chromolithograph of a rural scene in the early days of British Singapore by Barthélémy Lauvergne, one of the resident artists on the Bonite Expedition (1836 - 1837), a French scientific and diplomatic circumnavigation. A Closer Look This view depicts a small village on the island of Singapore, which, according to the title, was located near the Strait of Malacca. Lauvergne's sketch was drawn on the island's west side, closest to the Strait. A bucolic scene presents a grouping of thatched-roof buildings in the foreground as well as on the hill in the background. Oxen amble in the foreground, while birds fly overheard. Human figures appear throughout and a religious structure stands to the left in the foreground. The large plant to the right in the foreground emphasizes the scientific nature of the Bonite Expedition and its contributions to botanical knowledge. The Bonite Expedition The French ship La Bonite undertook a voyage of scientific and geographic exploration in 1836 - 1837. Led by Auguste-Nicolas Vaillant (1793 - 1858), the voyage circumnavigated the globe, en route disembarking diplomats at various posts. Along the way, important observations were made that contributed to several fields, especially botany and zoology. A large account of the voyage was written upon the ship's return and divided into thematic volumes, including an album of drawings by the ship's artists, The?odore Auguste Fisquet and Barthélémy Lauvergne. The scientific expedition arrived in Singapore on February 17, 1837, and stayed through February 23. It is safe to assume that Lauvergne sketched this view during the expedition's brief stay. The Early Days of British Singapore Stamford Raffles founded Singapore as a British colony in 1819, looking for a site to challenge the Dutch, who had a colony at Melaka from which they threatened to dominate the Straits of Malacca. Finding a sparsely populated but strategically located island at the end of the Malay Peninsula with a natural deep harbor and ready supply of fresh water, Raffles intervened in a factional struggle in the Sultanate of Johor, which nominally controlled the island, supporting one faction in exchange for being granted the island. Raffles then made the critical decision to set Singapore up as a free port. From the beginning, Singapore witnessed rapid growth and high volume as a port, as well as the presence of a diverse set of cultures, including local Bugis and other Malays, Arab traders, ethnically Chinese (Peranakan) merchants, Indian traders and soldiers, Armenians, Parsis, Baghdadi Jews, and others. Publication History and Census This view was originally drawn by Barthélemy Lauvergne in 1837 and was published several years later as Plate No. 74 (of 100) in the Album Historique , a collection of maps and views prepared to accompany Auguste Nicholas Vaillant's Voyage Autour du Monde exe?cute? pendant les anne?es 1836 et 1837 sur la Corvette la Bonite. . It was lithographed by Louis Bichebois with V. Adam, edited by Arthus Bertrand, and printed by the firm Lemercier, Benard et Cie. This view is very scarce to the market and is only independently cataloged in the holdings of the National Library of Australia and the National Library Board of Singapore, while the entire Album historique is cataloged in a small handful of European libraries.
