Zustand: ACEPTABLE. [Un] Mapa, correspondiente a la primera estampación en blanco y negrode la edición de 1636 de los mapas de Mercator-Hondius editados para el Novus Atlas de Janssonius. Edición con el texto en latín al dorso. Johannes Janssonius (también conocido como Johann, o Jan Jansson, o Janszoon), nació en Arnhem en 1588 y falleció en Amsterdam en1664. Hijo de Jan Janssen, fue un renombrado geógrafo y editor del siglo XVII, en el contexto en que los holandeses dominaban la publicación de mapas en Europa. Jan conoció el oficio por primera vez a través de su padre, quien también era librero y editor. En 1612, se casó con Elisabeth Hondius, hija de Jodocus Hondius y hermana de Henricus. Tras su matrimonio, se instalaron en Amsterdam, donde él ejercería como librero y editor de material cartográfico. Curiosamente, se instaló junto a la librería Blaeu, yasí estalló la encarnizada competencia entre Jan Janssonius yWillem Jansz Blaeu (1571-1638). En la década de 1630, Janssonius trabajó con su cuñado, Henricus Hondius (1597-1651), hijo de Jodocus. Su obra más exitosa fue la reedición del atlas "Mercator-Hondius". Jodocus había adquirido las planchas del atlas de Mercator, publicado por primera vez en 1595, y agregó 36 mapas adicionales. Los primeros mapas de Jonssonius datan de 1616. Tras la muerte de Jodocus Hondius, el mismo año que Janssonius se casó con su hija(1612), Henricus se hizo cargo de la publicación y en 1633 Janssonius se unió a la empresa y comenzaron a publicar atlas juntos, hasta 1640, año en que Henricus dejó el negocio enteramente a Janssonius. Su gran atlas pasaría a llamarse ahora Atlas Novus, y llegó a constar de 6 volúmenes;y más tarde, dada la rivalidad con Joan Blaeu, hijo y sucesor de Willem, volvería a ampliarloy a editarlo con el título deAtlas Major y en once volúmenes. Las planchas de cobre de los atlas de Janssonius se vendieron posteriormente a Schenk y Valck. ___________ First State and edition of this map printed in Black and whitefor the Mercator-Hondius Novus Atlas in 1636 with latin text.

No binding. Zustand: Very good. First. Antwerp: [N.p.], 1570 or later. Double-page map of AFRICA (FIRST STATE) from the Latin edition of Abraham ORTELIUS' "THEATRUM ORBIS TERRARUM" (17 ¼ x 21 ½ inches; 14 ½ x 19 ¾ inches plate size) with original hand color and full margins. Condition: very good; some creasing in top half along the margins and extending into the image; repair in top right quadrant. LAVISHLY colored map of Africa (including a naval battle scene) based on the cartographical information of Gastaldi's 8-sheet map from 1564 and to a lesser extent the Mercator world map from 1569. Norwich (1983) finds that the "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum" added one name, Carneca, to Gastaldi's Africa, and made the Cape more pointed. Zanzibar is transferred from the east to the west coast. The Nile is based on the Ptolemaic concept. The present map counts as a prototypical representation of Africa in 16th century cartography.

Image: 488 by 578mm (19 by 22 inches). An attractive and historically significant 18th-century map for the discerning collector. Johann Baptist Homann (16641724) was the most important German cartographer and publisher of the early 18th century. Born in Bavaria, he founded his cartographic publishing house in Nuremberg in 1702, which rapidly became the leading German map publisher. In 1715, Emperor Charles VI appointed him Imperial Geographer (Kayserlicher Geographus), the highest cartographic honor in the Holy Roman Empire. Homann's maps are known for their superb copper engraving, rich hand coloring, and elaborate allegorical cartouches featuring figures, coats of arms, and historical vignettes.

Jan Evertsz Cloppenburg (Publisher) Pieter vd Keere engraved the map [1630] 1673 Introductio in universam geographiam Amsterdam; Johannes Janssonius van Wesberge, 1673 [1630] This small map (25cm x 18.5cm) was engraved by Pieter van den Keere (AKA Petrus Kaerius) and is in the 1st state. It seems to be based on the 1617 map by Willem Blaeu's 1617 and the Jodocus Hondius II maps of 1619 & 1623; The map was used in a number of publications, originally in Atlas Minor (Mercator / Hondius) - with the number 11 at the top right. The features of no page number, no signature and no print above the map are consistent with its publication in the 1673 Atlas Minor. "The Cloppenburch (i.e. Jan Evertz Clobbenburg) version of the Mercator-Hondius Atlas Minor (i.e. this map) was only published in 1630, 1632, and 1636. Cloppenburch was either forced out of business or Johannes Janssonius bought his copperplates, as the plates later appeared in a 1673 edition of Atlas Minor by Johannes Janssonius van Waesberge, the son-in-law of Janssonius. A second edition of this atlas appeared in 1676 in Dutch and Latin. This map also appeared in 1676 in an edition of Phillip Clüver's Introductionis in Universam Geographicam." (Betz's Mapping of Africa # 65) This outline coloured map is in very good condition. There is age-toning (paper oxidation) outside the plate line (especially at the top and on the right) caused by prior mounting non non-archival boards., some chipping to the top edges, Acid free tape strips on the top back from previous mounting. Small 2mm hole of the west coast of Southern Africa between the coast and the illustrated boat 250 by 185mm (9¾ by 7¼ inches).

Very good. Upper margin reinforced and recornered, else excellent. Size 14 x 18.5 Inches. This is Peter Mariette's 1650 map of Africa, published in his Theatre Géographique de France . The present example is a rare French edition that does not appear in OCLC and has appeared only twice on the market since 2008. A Long-Lived and Influential Mapping This map's geography originally appeared in the 1619 Africae nova Tabula of Jodocus Hondius Jr. as part of his set of four continent maps and remained a staple of the Hondius/Janssonius atlases. It was widely copied: Bertius, Tavernier, Boisseau, and Berey all produced works based on this map, as did Mariette. The present map of Africa - though anonymous - is attributed to Peter Mariette, who included it in his 1650 Theatre Géographique de France . Although published in Paris, the map's geography and decorative elements are Dutch, leading some to believe it to have been engraved by Cornelis Danckerts. A Closer Look The map's cartography follows Hondius' original both in terms of detail and execution. The coastline, in particular, is rich in toponomy, and the overall shape of the continent is accurate. Points within the continent, nonetheless, reveal the European ignorance of Africa's interior that would remain largely unchanged until well into the 19th century. The Nile, for example, is illustrated with its sources in the lakes of Zaire and Zaflan, an assumption inherited from no less venerable an authority than the 2nd-century Alexandrian geographer Claudius Ptolemy. The equally fictitious Lake Sachaf, derived from Laurent Fries' 1522 geography, appears in southern Africa, feeding the Zambere River, which flows to the Rio de Spirito Santo. The Cuama River is shown north of the Rio de Spirito Santo, but unlike earlier maps (including the 1608 Blaeu wall map), the Cuama is given its own source rather than sharing Lake Sachaf. The Niger River is shown running, essentially, in the wrong direction, emptying into the Senegal River after having flowed from a supposed Lake Niger (a misunderstanding of the Niger Inland Delta?) in the general vicinity of what is now the Central African Republic. (The detailed mapping of the Niger River would not be complete until the 1890s.) The map is embellished with lions, zebras, elephants, ostriches, and camels. There is even, south of the Niger River, a dragon. Flying fish skim the waters west of Guinea, and two ships sail the Oceanus Aethiopicus in the lower left quadrant of the map. Publication History and Census Betz attributes the work to Pierre Mariette, who included it in his c. 1650 Theatre Géographique de France . This map's engraver is unknown, but Betz proposes Cornelis Danckerts, who collaborated with Mariette on the 1647 Totius Africae Nova et Exacta . The map is rare. There are no examples cataloged in OCLC, and it has only appeared on the market twice since 2008. References: Betz, R., The Mapping of Africa #80.

Very good. Minor soiling to bottom corners. Contemporaneous backing on paper. Minor partial centerfold split, fully stabilized on verso. Size 20.5 x 23.25 Inches. A beautiful example of Johann Baptist Homann's 1710 map of Sicily and Sardinia, Italy. The map illustrates the islands as they were vigorously contended for by the Spanish Hapsburgs and the French Bourbons during the War of Spanish Succession (1701 - 1714). A Closer Look Coverage extends from Sardinia to Calabria and the Gulf of Taranto, south to include all of Sicily, Malta, Gozo, and parts of northern Africa in the vicinity of Tunis. Sicily is divided according to its ancient provinces: Val di Mazara, Val di Noto, and Val Demone. A large inset in the lower left illustrates Catania, with Mout Etna erupting in the background - likely referencing the devastating eruption and earthquake of 1693, which destroyed the city and the surrounding Val di Noto. In the lower right, an inset of Valletta, Malta, reflects its role as the stronghold of the Knights Hospitaller, whose naval defenses provided the first line of defense against Ottoman expansion. The allegorical cartouche at the top center underscores the fertile island's role as a breadbasket of the Mediterranean. Supporting figures hold aloft bunches of great and a cycle - symbols of harvest and plenty. Below, cherubs support the arms of Sicily and Sardinia. Above and to the right of the cartouch, Hephaestus, god of fire, metalworking, and craftsmanship, works his forge, which mythology associates with Mt. Etna. Sicily, Sardinia, and the War of the Spanish Succession During the War of Spanish Succession (1701 - 1714), Sicily and Sardinia played pivotal roles as strategically significant Mediterranean islands vigorously contested by European powers. Initially, under Spanish Habsburg control, these islands became bargaining chips in the broader conflict over the Spanish throne following the death of Charles II of Spain in 1700. The war saw alliances shift as the Bourbon claimant, Philip V of Spain, fought against a coalition of European powers seeking to prevent Bourbon dominance. By the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713, which ended much of the war, Sicily was awarded to Victor Amadeus II of Savoy, marking the Savoyard dynasty's rise as a European power. Sardinia, however, remained with Spain until 1720, when it was ceded to the Austrian Habsburgs in exchange for Sicily as part of the Treaty of The Hague. This exchange established the Kingdom of Sardinia under Savoyard control, with Sardinia remaining a key element of Italian unification in the 19th century. The war reshaped the political landscape of the Mediterranean, reducing Spanish influence and distributing territorial control among emerging European powers. Publication History and Census This is the first plate of this map - engraved between 1707 and 1710 for inclusion in the 1710 edition of the Neuer Atlas . It has a notably richer impression and finer engraving than the subsequent c. 1715 plate, recognizable by less expressive engraving and the inclusion of Homann's Privilege. The present example is from a 1710 edition of the Neuer Atlas . In its many editions, the map is well-represented in institutional collections, and versions of the map occasionally appear on the market. However, there is no complete census of individual states and plates, so the dating of these pieces is difficult to determine without examination of the maps themselves. References: OCLC 694920584.

Very good. Mended centerfold split with minor loss to border, not impacting map image. Size 14.75 x 19.75 Inches. This is an attractive example of the Hondius map of Africa. It is a classic of Dutch decorative cartography. The map is embellished with lions, zebras, elephants, ostriches, and monkeys, while the oceans display seven sailing ships menaced by sea monsters. Flying fish skim the waters west of Guinea. A merman and mermaid embrace in the southern Atlantic - a recurring image in Hondius' maps (the identical couple appears in at least one other, Hondius' 1631 map of Italy.) A Long-Lived and Influential Work This map was originally engraved in 1619 by Jodocus Hondius Jr. as part of a set of four continent maps, and would appear in his brother Henricus Hondius' atlases starting in 1631. It replaced the map engraved by the elder Jodocus Hondius in 1606 - the earlier map had been based largely on the work of Gerard Mercator. Hondius' new map was derived from the 1617 Blaeu folio as well as the 1608 Blaeu wall map of Africa, but it was in turn widely copied: Bertius, Tavernier, Boisseau, and Berey all produced work based upon this map. A Closer Look Hondius's cartography follows Blaeu's folio map both in terms of detail and execution: a wise choice emphasizing clarity and sharpness, presenting detail without sacrificing legibility. The coastline, in particular, is rich in toponomy, and the overall shape of the continent is remarkably accurate. Points within the continent, nonetheless, reveal the European ignorance of Africa's interior that would remain largely unchanged until well into the 19th century. The Nile, for example, is illustrated with its sources in the lakes of Zaire and Zaflan, an assumption inherited from no less venerable an authority than the 2nd-century Alexandrian geographer Claudius Ptolemy. The equally fictitious Lake Sachaf, derived from Laurent Fries' 1522 geography, appears in southern Africa, feeding the Zambere River, flowing to the Rio de Spirito Santo. The Cuama River is shown north of the Rio de Spirito Santo, but unlike earlier maps - including the 1608 Blaeu wall map - the Cuama is given its own source, instead of sharing a source at Lake Sachaf. The Niger River is shown running, essentially, in the wrong direction, emptying into the Senegal River, after having flowed from a supposed Lake Niger (a misunderstanding of the Niger inland delta?) in the general vicinity of what is now the Central African Republic. (The detailed mapping of the Niger River would not be complete until the 1890s.) Publication History and Census This is the fifth state of Jodocus and Henricus Hondius' map. It was initially engraved in 1619. From the 1631 third state, it was included in the majority of the Hondius / Janssonius atlases. This particular example appeared in the 1666 edition of the Atlas Contractus . Thirteen examples of the separate map, in various editions but not this one, are cataloged in institutional collections. The 1666 Atlas Contractus is catalogued only in the Sachsische Landesbibliothek, Staatsbibliothek Zu Berlin, and the ULB Sachsen Anhalt Zentrale.
