Hardcover. Zustand: Good. AN UNRECORDED FRENCH EDITION. PRESENTED TO THE MATHEMATICIAN ÉMILE PICARD. Amsterdam: [Jacob Robijn &] Pierre Yvounet, 1684[1687]. Folio in 4s (16 7/8" x 11", 429mm x 279mm). [Full collation available.] With an engraved title-page (integral with the text), 32 engraved double-page charts, 2 in-text engravings and many in-text woodcuts, including a volvelle (p. 11). Bound in contemporary calf. On the spine, 6 raised bands. Title gilt to red morocco (one above the other) in the second panel. Marbled end-papers. All edges of the text-block speckled red and brown. Worn, with splits, losses and rubbing. The front hinge split but strong. Mild even tanning with the very odd spot of foxing. Some of the charts shaved. Armorial bookplate of E.T. Quinette de Rochemont to the front paste-down. Armorial bookplate (Joly?) to the verso of the third binder's blank (facing the title), with an ink manuscript instruction to Émile Picard signed "Joly" and dated 14 October 1925. Ink ownership inscription in an old hand to the title-page (just shaved): "Ex-libris G." As the Dutch came to dominate the world's seas over the course of the XVIIc, there was a perpetual demand for atlases and rutters (navigational manuals) reflecting the newest intelligence. From the middle of the century, books of this sort began to be printed not just by individual cartographer-engraver-publisher-booksellers but by groups of them, the better to respond to vast demand and to share the huge costs of cutting and printing the plates. Hendri(c)k Doncker (1625/6-1699), Pieter Goos (1615/6-1675) and Caspar Theuniszoon Lootsman (1635-1711) formed a consortium to print one of the great sea-atlases, known in its Dutch editions as the Zee-Spiegel (Sea-Mirror). The plates circulated among the three, and were freely adapted (sometimes re-cut entirely). Goos in particular had an eye to disseminating his work beyond the Dutch, and so published editions in English (with the snappy title of The Lightning Colomne) as well as in French -- as the Grand & Nouveau miroir ou Flambeau. The first of Goos's French editions was published in 1662 with 33 maps. Koeman (IV p. 202) records that from "1680, the stock and plates of Goos's Zeespiegel were acquired by Jacob Robijn who sold the copies unaltered under his imprint," but also that "although Robijn states in his preface that this work was printed by him in three languages: Dutch, English and French, apart from part V, no copy of a French edition is known to exist." Thus the present volume may well be unique, and gives credence to Robijn's published claim of publishing the four-part Zeespiegel in French. Our volume must have been assembled after 1684, as two charts bear later dates: "Zuyder-Zee" 1686 and "De Texel Stroom" 1687. Emile Théodore Quinette de Rochemont (1838-1908) was a civil engineer; from 1862 he was attached to the secretariat of the Conseil général des Ponts et Chausées, and through 1879 oversaw the building works at Le Havre, at which point he transferred to Valenciennes as chief engineer, studying a canal to connect the Escaut to the Meuse. Facing the title-page is a presentation inscription. The donor is probably Henry Joly (1892-1970), chief curator of the libraries of the city of Lyon from 1924. He was an evangelist of public libraries and access to rare books, and edited the journal Documents paléographiques, typographiques, iconographiques 1923-1944, at which point he joined the Résistance. The recipient is certainly Emile Picard (1856-1941), one of the great modern mathematicians. He was elected in 1924 to the first chair of the Academie Française, the council established to maintain the French language, whose members are called "les immortels" (the immortals). As the inscription notes, he was also the president (secretaire perpetuel) of the Academie des Sciences and sat on the bureau des longitudes, which is responsible for maintaining the weights and measures of France.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Fourth. THE WARDINGTON COPY, WITH THE ADDITIONAL CHART OF NEW JERSEY. Amsterdam: Peter Goos, 1670. Fourth edition in English. Folio (20 11/6" x 13 5/16", 526mm x 339mm): binder's blank, [pi]1, A-B2, binder's blank [$1 signed; +A2]. 5 leaves, pp. [10] (title, blank, 7pp. preface, contents). With 41 double-page maps (of 40 called for in the contents) with contemporary hand-color. Bound in contemporary yapp-edged Dutch stabbed vellum with alum-tawed leather ties. Boards panelled gilt, with a gilt fleuron centerpiece. On the spine, nine gilt rolls making eight panels, each with a gilt rosette at center and gilt corner-fleurons. All edges of the text-block gilt. With the hinges starting a little. Some soiling and cockling generally, but altogether a solid binding. Repairs are noted as having been carried out by Sangorski and Sutcliffe. The title-leaf has been remounted on a stub (with some fraying at the edges of the leaf), and each chart is fully mounted on a pair of leaves. The charts have been numbered in ink manuscript in an old hand. Occasional mild toning throughout, but in general a very sound volume. A little worming to the upper margin through chart 23. Ownership signature of Harr[?] Smyth in an early hand in ink on the title-page (cancelled), A2r (cancelled) and the recto of the initial backing leaf of chart 9 (offsetting to the verso of the the final backing leaf of chart 8). Bookplate of Lord Wardington at the rear paste-down. Pieter Goos (1615-1675) was born to be the great Dutch mapmaker of the XVIIc; his father was Abraham Goos (1590-1643), himself a pioneering mapmaker. As Dutch dominance of the seas came to be indisputable with the East India Company, the golden age of Dutch cartography reached its zenith in the 1670's. Goos's Zee-Atlas ofte Water-Wereld (1666), of which the present item is the uncommon English-language edition, is commonly crowned the high-point of Dutch atlas-production. Whereas other sea-atlases teemed with permutations and repetitions, Goos's Sea-Atlas hones the crucial waterways to forty charts. The present copy, as do others, has an additional chart of New Jersey, numbered 34: "Paskaerte Van de Zuijdt en Noort Revier in Nieu Nederlant Streckende van Cabo Hinloopen tot Rechgewach." In this fourth English-language edition -- issued, of course, for the benefit of the British, despite their ongoing conflicts with the Dutch -- the charts, with the exception of the third (1669) correspond to the edition of 1668. The identity of Harr(y; Harold? Henry?) Smyth is a tantalizing mystery; the hand is early to be sure, and the repeated signatures lead one to wonder whether he owned the sheets before the book was bound. Why were two of the three signatures cancelled? Christopher Henry Beaumont Pease (1924-2005), 2nd Baron Wardington, was a book collector of great renown, building a splendid library at his Oxfordshire home, Wardington Manor. His particular interest was the very finest examples of cartography. His sale (Sotheby's London, 18 October 2005; the present item lot 178) was a landmark in the field, and its catalogue practically a reference work in its own right.

Contemporary Dutch vellum gilt, each cover decorated with large corner pieces and central cartouche, the spine decorated with gilt Tudor rose tools, green silk ties, all edges gilt (remboitage, paste-board renewed). Provenance: Christopher Henry Beaumont Pease, Lord Wardington (1924-2005), Library of Important Atlases and Geographies, his sale Sotheby's 18th October 2005, lot 177. Fifth edition, first published in 1666, and based on Hendrick Doncker's "Zee-Atlas" of 1659, particularly for its charts, and reprinted several times without much revision. However the atlas was available with either 40 or 41 charts, the extra chart being the most desirable: "Paskaerte van de Zuydt en Noordt Revier in Nieu Nederlandt", present here. This is the first printed Dutch sea-chart to focus on the Dutch possessions in New York, showing the Dutch colony of New Amsterdam with the settlements on Manhattan, Staten Island and Long Island, south to Delaware Bay, and including the lower course of the Delaware River. The atlas also includes the celebrated chart "Paskaert van Nova Grenada, en t'Eylandt California", which is one of the two earliest Dutch printed charts to focus on the "island" of California. More of an engraver than a cartographer, Goos's atlases and pilots were designed for the armchair traveler rather than as navigational aids: Goos's prospective clients were "Heeren en Kooplieden" (gentleman and merchants) before "Schippers en Stuurlieden" (pilots and seamen). Truusje Goedings, renowned expert in Dutch colourists of the 17th-century writes of this copy: "This is a fine de-luxe coloured copy with contemporary colour and heightened with gold and silver by one hand. This colouring is executed very expertly with a keen eye for decorative effects, in rather gay combinations, with a soft and transparant, often full, variated washing of the land regions, also on the world map. In the cartouches bright and thick red is often contrasted with bright blue and a very well handled gold, the waterborders are rather heavy and dark blue, against the land- and water regions which are mostly very transparant and soft. For insets and inside framing gold is lavishly and very decoratively applied. Leadwhite has been oxidized sometimes to grey. A remarkable feature (among many others) is the colouring of the compass-roses, consequently done in pink and blue. This might be the mark of a specific colorist; I found the same, in a related and only slightly different colouring, in the copy of Goos'' Zee Atlas' preserved in the Artis Library in Amsterdam. All this makes quite certain that a model was used for the de-luxe colouring of Goos from the start, used by very expert and talented colourists" (Truusje Goedings).

A fine large-scale sea chart of the southern tip of South America published in the 'Zee Atlas' by Pieter Goos. It extends northwards to the 30th degree south including the 'Rio de la Plata'. It includes much of present-day Argentina and Chile. The southwest coast of Tierra del Fuego is left incomplete. The 'Seybold' islands are in fact Jason islands off the northwest coast of the Falklands. They record to visit by the Sebald de Weert (1567-1603) in 1600. The map is adorned with a compass rose, sailing ship and two ornate cartouche.Pieter Goos (c.1615-75) was one of the most significant booksellers in Amsterdam during the second half of the seventeenth century. The son of mapmaker Abraham Goos, he was also an accomplished engraver as well as bookseller. "His first pilot book was the Zee-Spiegel, 1650, covering largely European waters. The Zee Atlas covered the whole world. They were all well produced and sold as much to the merchant, as the sea-going pilot." (Burden). Provenance: Richard B.

No binding. Zustand: Very Good. 430 x 530 mm., centre fold split, professionally repaired, dark impression, with decent margins all the way around, in good condition. The next Dutch chart maker to enter the field of maritime atlases after Waghenaer, Blaeu, Jansson, and Colom, was Theunis (or Anthonie) Jacobsz (1606/7-50). He would later take the family name of Lootsman to differentiate himself from other similarly named printers. Like earlier charts of the region, it is orientated with south at the top with a slight re-orientation to include the port of Brest in Brittany. It extends from the Cap de la Hague in Normandy to Ushant off the Brittany coast. Portland Bill is also included, the only portion of southern England visible. The Channel Islands are illustrated with an oversized 'Ornay' (Alderney).Jacobsz' chart first appeared in the 'Zee-Spiegel' which is largely a sea atlas of European waters. The second part including a chart of this region was first published in 1643, the completed work was published in 1644. It is believed that there might be an earlier issue. Koeman suggests that the lack of an imprint on it might indicate collaboration with other booksellers. At his death in 1650 this plate along with the others in the atlas were sold to Pieter Goos. Koeman records that for the 1662 English text edition several charts were altered of which this was one. There are several minor alterations but the most obvious is the framework to the title cartouche which was previously blank is now occupied by engraved lines. A new plate was introduced which forced the plate number lower right to be altered from '37' to '38'. Provenance: Jonathan Potter Ltd.; private Jersey collection.

No binding. Zustand: Very Good. 295 x 530 mm., recent outline colour, small lower centrefold split, repaired, well away from the image as there are very large margins top and bottom, otherwise in good condition. A rare early sea chart of the south western coastline of Africa extending from the Cape of Good Hope to Cabo Negro at 16 degrees south of the equator. This beautifully engraved chart displays critical waters in the Dutch East India Companies trade with the East Indies where all its vessels had to pass through. The map is derived from one by Jodocus Hondius which appears in a very rare pamphlet published in 1652. It described South Africa when Jan Van Riebeeck (1619-77) landed in Table Bay. Norwich described the chart as a "fine, decisive copperplate engraved map with a great deal of detail of the coastline". There are two insets of which the smaller depicts Vlees Bay to the east of the Cape. The larger provides a detailed map and chart of the Cape of Good Hope including Table Mountain. Two ships adorn the sea with a compass rose orientating the map with north to the left. It was published in the 'Zee-Atlas' one of the finest Dutch sea atlases of the time. Goos' marine charts were held in high esteem in the seventeenth century. Koeman (1967-70) IV Goos 1B no. 24; Norwich (1983) 243.…

Printed on vellum (ca. 80 x 98 cm) from one large copperplate engraving, partly coloured by a contemporary hand. The "West-Indische Paskaert" engraved by Pieter Goos, in its rare first state, a nautical chart prepared for the Dutch West India Company (WIC) as an aid to crossing the Atlantic Ocean to the trading regions of the Americas and visiting trading posts in Africa. It shows parts of the east coast of North America, both coasts of South America, Mediterranean Europe and the west coast of Africa. Many "West-Indische Paskaerten", as these navigational charts were called, were reprinted over and over from new states of the copperplates. For more than a century Dutch and foreign seafarers profited from their use on transatlantic journeys. The great cartographer Willem Jansz. Blaeu (1571-1638) published the first "West-Indische Paskaert" around 1630 using manuscript charts and other documents of the Atlantic and its coasts, including information provided by the Dutch WIC navigators who sailed these routes. Being one of the first practical uses of the Mercator projection, Blaeu's small-scale nautical chart was the first useful chart for crossing the Atlantic Ocean, making it easier to plot a straight line course for long distances on one map. Around 1660 Pieter Goos engraved four large navigation charts on new copperplates, including the plate for his present "West-Indische Paskaert". The present copy shows the plate in its first state, the only copperplate that Goos actually engraved himself. - Pieter Goos (ca. 1616-75) was a Dutch cartographer, engraver and printer and publisher of maps and atlases, whose father Abraham Goos (ca. 1590-1643) published many globes and maps together with Jodocus Hondius and Johannes Janssonius. He was especially known for his sea charts and his "Zee-atlas ofte water-wereld" (first edition 1666), one of the best maritime atlases of its time. Goos's "West-Indische Paskaert" in its present first state is of the utmost rarity: 8 other copies are known, of which only 4 on vellum. - The "West-Indische Paskaert" remained one of the Dutch West India Company's most important nautical charts for decades, with several important map printers and publishers producing editions from various plates that went through numerous states. The present nautical chart therefore not only bears beautiful witness to the golden age of Dutch maritime history, exploration and cartography; it is also a very rare vellum copy showing the first state of the copperplate engraved by Goos himself. The map has been professionally restored, with the tears along the edges repaired and the brittle parts reinforced with Japanese paper, and the map is mounted on museum-quality preservation corrugated board which in turn is mounted on museum-quality honeycomb board. Somewhat faded, with a water stain in the left part, some smaller stains, the foot a little frayed (hardly affecting the map) and a little dust-soiled, but overall in good condition. - Burden II, 442 (misdated ca. 1674); Schilder & Kok, Goos 4.1 (8 copies, incl. 2 on paper, 1 missing, 1 incomplete); cf Schilder, Monumenta, 63 (other states), 63.4 (the 1675 Blaeu-Goos state); for the use of nautical charts: Koeman, "17e eeuwse Hollandse bijdragen in de kartering van de Amerikaanse kusten", in: Caert thresoor 1 (1982), pp. 50-51; Schilder & Van Egmond, "Maritime cartography in the Low Countries during the Renaissance", in: The history of cartography, volume 3: cartography in the European Renaissance (2007), pp. 1425-1426.…

"HONDIUS, Henricus (1597-1651) - VISSCHER, Claes Janszoon (1587-1652) - GOOS, Pieter (1615-1675). Composite Atlas. Amsterdam and Paris: Ca. 1640, composed before 1750. This composite atlas seems to have been composed during the reign of Louis XV (1710-1774) and contains 88 maps of Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, Lithuania, Silesia, Scandinavia, Italy, Austria, Bohemia, Moravia, Hungary, Switzerland and France: countries involved in the War of the Polish Succession (17331738) and The War of the Austrian Succession (17401748). On the inside of the cover, a large engraving (book plate) is pasted with a dedication to Charles François Paul Le Normant de Tournehem, with his coats of arms. This engraving depicts "Time saving Truth from Falsehood and Envy", engraved by Laurent Cars, after a painting by François Lemoyne, 1737. Le Normant de Tournehem, was general manager of the Buildings of the King and a great art lover. The Normant Tournehem was most likely to be the biological father of Jeanne-Antoinette Poisson, the future Marquise de Pompadour. Bound in contemporary brown morocco in "Du Seuil" type, decorated with fillets making up two frames around the boards, the smaller one inside the larger. The spine consits of eight compartments, with raised bands, a gilt title "Allemagne et Pays-Bas" and gilt fillets. (Needs restoration). The maps are all numbered in a contemporary hand in brown ink, beginning with number 4. The first 4 maps removed. PROVENANCE: Charles François Paul Le ormant de Tournehem (16841751) French financier, a 'fermier-général', or tax-farmer. He was most likely the biological father of Jeanne-Antoinette Poisson (17211764), the future Marquise de Pompadour, also known as Madame de Pompadour. She was a member of the French court and was the official chief mistress of Louis XV from 1745 to her death. Thanks to the influence of Madame de Pompadour, Le Normant de Tournehem was made directeur général of the Bâtiments du Roi in December 1745.

The Normant Tournehem, it is supposed, owned this atlas, as it included an engraving dedicated to him, the maps are covering the regions of the wars occurred during the reign of Louis XV: The War of the Polish Succession (a conflict between France (Louis XV married Marie Leszczynka, daughter of the King of Poland Stanislas Leszczynski), an ally of Spain, Sardinia and Bavaria, Russia and Austria (1733 to 1738), and the War of the Austrian Succession. In addition to the maps of Germany, the atlas includes rare and specific maps of Poland and Silesia, the Netherlands, Denmark, Franconia and Electoral Palatinate. These maps show the geopolitics of the moment, and Le Normant de Tournehem being close to Louis XV, must have had a great interest in these particular regions.
