Good. Marginal mend just impacting border on the right; some creases. Else very good. Size 11.25 x 13.5 Inches. This is a 1740 Italian edition of Isaac Tirion's map of Tartary, or Russia in Asia. This is one of the few obtainable derivative maps to be based upon the little-known but groundbreaking cartography of Phillip Johann von Strahlenberg, created while he was a prisoner in Tobolsk. The Source Tirion's work, presented as 'drawn from the latest observations,' has often been ascribed, likely in error, to Guillaume De l'Isle. This map does not at all resemble De l'Isle's map of the same area. Rather, Tirion's 1732 original was indeed drawn from the truly state-of-the-art 1730 map of Phillip Johann von Strahlenberg. A cursory comparison between this map, those of De l'Isle, and the 1730 Strahlenberg makes the connection plain, on the strength of its depiction of the north and east coastlines. The shared detail of the Mare/Lacus Kamischnor (probably the wetlands of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan) and the identical treatment of Lake Baikal on both maps confirms the connection. Tirion's choice of source was wise: Strahlenberg's 1730 map was the largest, most groundbreaking, and unique map of Russia to appear in the first half of the 18th century. Its presentation of a potential Northeast Passage, and its pre-Bering mapping of the Bering Strait made it among the most compelling works of the mapping of Asian Russia. Strahlenberg's enforced proximity to his subject (owing to his decades as a prisoner of war in Tobolsk) made his work all the more authoritative, improving sharply on the work of the area produced in the 17th century by Witsen, and the early 18th-century efforts of De l'Isle. The Dezhnev Anomaly or Witsen's Peninsula Nicolas Witsen's mapping does not disappear in Strahlenberg's work; for example, Witsen's Peninsula - here named ' Capo Suetoinos ' - can be seen extending from Siberia's northeastern coast just south of the Kolyma River. The Mysterious Island of Puchochotski One of the hallmarks of the Strahlenberg map appearing here is Puchochotski Island - the crescent shaped island at the easternmost extreme of this map. This island is mapped on only a few obscure Russian manuscripts of the early eighteenth century and was probably related to the discoveries of Petr Popov, who was sent from Anadyrsk to explore the Chukchi Peninsula in 1711. Popov returned with indigenous reports of a large island one day's voyage east of the Peninsula - without question representing Chukchi knowledge of the Behring Strait and Alaska: thus - Puchochotski Island is actually one of the first depictions of Alaska, based on native report. An Unsung Map Leo Bagrow had lamented in Imago Mundi that: It is to be regretted that Strahlenberg's map has so far not been studied to any large extent. After Remezov, it is the second most important source of historical geographical information about Siberia. Yet it did not have a great influence on maps of the following period and, in a way, stands apart. And yet, here in Tirion's map and its Italian copy, is evidence that Strahlenberg's cartography was in fact disseminated and presented as 'the latest observations,' albeit failing to apply the long-suffering Strahlenberg's name to any of it. Publication History and Census This map was composed and first printed by Isaac Tirion in 1732. The present copy was engraved in Venice for inclusion in Giambatista Albrizzi's 1740 Atlante Novissimo, Che Contiene Tutte Le Parti Del Mondo. We see one example of the separate map in OCLC. The Atlante is well represented in institutional collections. References: OCLC 638249688 (miscataloged as De l'Isle).…

Very good. Marginal mends at centerfold. Some light spotting, superb original color. Size 17.25 x 21.5 Inches. This beautifully engraved and colored map is Frederick de Wit's 1680 map of Central Asia and the Far East, including Persia, China, Japan and Siberia. It reaches from the eastern Caspian Sea to the Pacific, and from the mouth of the Ganges in the south to the mouth of the Ob in Siberia. This represented the state of the art of Dutch cartography of northeastern Asia prior to the groundbreaking map of Nicolaas Witsen. The treatment of Japan and Yedso reflects the journey of Maarten Gerritsz Vries and the northeastern bulge evident on the maps of Blaeu and Jansson has been truncated here. The regions of central Asia are replete with descriptive texts, some of which were retained from the 15th century maps of Fra Mauro, and even from the narrative of Marco Polo. These focus particularly on the empire of the Grand Khan, and on various putative Christian kingdoms. The Great Wall of China is depicted. Apocryphal Lake Chiamay The mythical Lake of Chiamay, or Chiang Mai, appears at the south of the map, roughly in what is today Assam, India. Early cartographers postulated that such a lake must exist to source the four important Southeast Asian river systems: the Irrawaddy, the Dharla, the Chao Phraya, and the Brahmaputra. This lake began to appear on maps of Asia as early as the 16th century and persisted well into the mid-18th century. Its origins are unknown but may come from a lost 16th century geography prepared by the Portuguese scholar Joao de Barros. The map is embellished with a lovely strapwork cartouche flanked with putti , but it is not abundantly decorated. This stage of Dutch mapmaking began to strip away ornament in favor of detail, as more of the latter became available for presentation. Publication History and Census This map was engraved for Frederick de Wit by Jan Lhuillier as early as 1662. It appeared in De Wit's atlas in this form until perhaps 1688. After 1689 the map's title was changed to indicate De Wit's receipt of a privilege. At this point Lhuillier's imprint was effaced, possibly to prevent any legal confusion over to whom the privilege had been granted. The present example, lacking any privilege, was certainly printed prior to 1688. The sharpness of the image suggests an early strike. In various editions this map is well represented in institutional collections. References: OCLC 64025500. Rumsey 12220.072.…
