Softcover. Zustand: g+ to near fine. Reprint. Large elephant folio. [2] 28pp. Half red cloth over illustrated tan paper wrappers, with black lettering on the front cover. This work is a full and finely produced facsimile reprint of the incredibly scarce "English Atlas," originally created and published by Moses Pitt (c. 16391697), in Oxford 1680. Only the first volume of the set is reprinted here, focusing on Northern regions including Russian, Poland and Scandinavia. Originally Pitt had intended to issue a 12 volume set, all under the auspices of the Royal Society, but ultimately only was able to issue 4 volumes before the project collapsed due to financial difficulties. The work contains 4 detailed fold-out maps each measuring 23x22", showing Poland, Lithuania, Ukraine and Western areas of Russia during the period. Text throughout printed in a two-column format. Introductory text at the front of the reprint, discussing the history of the work. Wrappers with some age toning to the covers, as well as some light rubbing to extremities. Top right corner of cover lightly chipped and a stain at the bottom right. A few light abrasions. Wrappers in good+, interior in near fine condition overall.

2 Bände. Gr.-Fol. Gestochenes koloriertes Portrait, gestochener kolorierter Titel, 2 nn. Bl., 151 S., 40 nn. Bl.; gestochenes koloriertes Portrait, 2 nn. Bl., S. 157-312, 37 nn. Bl., mit 90 (4 gefalteten und 85 doppelblattgroßen) grenzkolorierten Kupferstichkarten. Leder der Zeit mit Rückenschild, (berieben, Gelenke und Kapitale unterlegt). Erste und einzige Ausgabe. - Koemann II, Me 183. - Die 2 vorliegenden Bände beinhalten den vollständigen Deutschlandteil unter Einschluss der damals zum Hl. Römischen Reich gehörenden Gebiete wie, Böhmen, Österreich, Ungarn und Transylvanien. - Das nach dem 4. Band eingestellte Projekt eines englischsprachigen Atlasses basierte auf der Grundlage des "Atlas Major" von Janssonius, dessen Karten etwas überarbeitet wurden. Es finden sich jedoch auch einige Karten, die sonst nirgendwo erschienen sind, darunter die schönen Faltkarten von der Wesermündung und Baden. - Eine Karte mit Einriss, im Bug teils etwas knickfaltig, wenige Karten etwas angerändert, die Weserkarte leicht beschnitten, Ex-Libris auf Innendeckel. - Insgesamt innen sehr gutes, breitrandiges, nur minimal fleckiges Exemplar mit kolorierten Kartuschen. // Engraved coloured portrait, engraved coloured title, 2 unn. ll., 151 pp., 40 unn. ll.; engraved coloured portrait, 2 unn. ll., p. 157-312, 37 unn. ll., with 90 (4 folded and 85 double-page) border coloured engraved maps. Contemporary calf with label, (rubbed, hinges and end of spine restored). - First and only edition. Koemann II, Me 183. The 2 available volumes contain the complete part of Germany including the areas which belonged to the Holy Roman Empire, like Bohemia, Austria, Hungary and Transylvania. This project of an English speaking author, which was stopped after the publication of volume 4, is based on the "Atlas Major" of Janssonius (maps are slightly revised). But there are some more maps, which were not published elsewhere, amongst them the beautiful folding maps of the Weser river mouth and Baden. Catouches with nice colouring. One map with tearing, in the inner margins slightly creased, few maps slightly margin-spotted, map of Weser slightly trimmed. Bookplate on inside cover. Altogether a very fine copy with large margins and only a little minor foxing.

Single sheet (22 ¼ x 19 ½) Full margins showing the plate mark. (Light foxing, repair on verso). This elegant hand-colored map of the Duchy of Brabant centered on Leuven and Tienen. Around the title cartouche nine shields for the town coat of arms, that of Tienen left blank. Standing next to the cartouche is the Greek god Apollo, playing the harp and the sun shining brightly behind him. The coat of arms of the Duchy of Brabant crown the top of the map. The left side cartouche containing the scale of miles balances out the map, with a curious interaction between a male and female figure. The woman holding cartographic tools and an atlas could perhaps be Elizabeth Verseyl, the late Nicolaes Visscher's wife. The earliest mention of Leuven ("Loven") is from 891, when a Viking army was defeated by the Frankish king Arnulf of Carinthia (see: Battle of Leuven). According to a legend the city's red and white arms depict the blood-stained shores of the river Dyle after this battle. Situated beside this river, and near to the stronghold of the Dukes of Brabant, Leuven became the most important centre of trade in the duchy between the 11th and 14th centuries. A token of its former importance as a centre of cloth manufacture is shown in that ordinary linen cloth is known in late-14th-century and 15th-century texts as lewyn (other spellings: Leuwyn, Levyne, Lewan(e), Lovanium, Louvain). In the 15th century a new golden era began with the founding of what is now the largest and oldest university in the Low Countries, the Catholic University of Leuven, in 1425. The Atlas Minor is a fine and comprehensive composite atlas, and one of a series of large atlases compiled and sold by the Visscher family of art dealers and cartographers in the 17th century. Founded by Nicholas Visscher, this work is known for the high quality of engraving, exceptionally fine ornament, and accurate geographical information. No two of the Visscher atlases seem to have been identical in content, and most contain, like this one, a selection of maps by the Visschers themselves as well as other cartographers. In this case the majority of the maps are published by Visscher. In addition to the striking world map by Allard with its black background and numerous projections, and found in the "Atlas Major" from about 1705, there are maps of the continents, regional maps of Europe, ten maps of Asia, and seven maps related to America.

Hardcover. Zustand: very good. Orbis Terrarum Nova Et Accuratissima Tabula, 1680, Moses Pitt Orbis Terrarum Nova Et Accuratissima Tabula. Auctore Ioanne a Loon. Moses Pitt London / 1680 A fine example of Moses Pitt's double hemisphere map of the world. Pitt and his partner acquired the plates from Blaeu's Grand Atlas and set out to issue and even larger Atlas in London. However, after 4 volumes, they landed in Debtor's prison and the atlas was never completed. The map offered here is based upon Visscher's World map of 1658 (Shirley 406) and Van Loon's rare Zee Atlas, first issued in 1661. Size of the sheet: 60 x 67 cm., printed area: 44 x 53 cm., the map is printed on thick paper, wide margins, only little brownish centerfold, fine hand coloured.

Hardcover. Zustand: very good. A map of the NORTHPOLE and the parts adioining, 1680, Pitt Moses Attractive English map of the North Pole and Arctic regions. The map combines some out-dated cartography with a solid view of Hudson and Baffin bays. In Canada the unusual three-island configuration of northern Labrador is derived in part from Sanson's map of 1656. Pitt includes the mythical island of Freesland complete with several place names and Forbishers Strait bisects the southern tip of Greenland. Cartographically the map is notable for the small inset map of Nova Zembla with an explanation that new information had arrived from Russia indicating that it was joined to the mainland instead of being an island as shown on the main map. The cartouche emphasizes the importance of whaling in the region with whaling scenes, walruses, narwhales and Eskimos in their kayaks. A magnificent coat of arms dedicates the map to Charles Fitz Charles, Earl of Plymouth. Size of the sheet: 58x67 cm., printed on thick paper, wide margins, only small tears on margins and only little fingerstained. This is the only original work prepared by Pitt for his ill-fated and uncompleted atlas. It was likely engraved by Michael Burghers, a Dutch emigrant who became the official engraver to the University of Oxford. The atlas was projected to be a 12 volume work in the tradition of the earlier Dutch atlases and was to use updated copperplates belonging to Johannes Jansson van Waesberge, son-in-law and heir of Jan Jansson. Only 4 volumes were completed before the venture failed and Pitt was thrown into debtor's prison.
