RUSCELLI, G., Geografia di Claudio Tolomeo Alessandrino Tradotta di Greco nell'Idioma Volgare Italiano da Girolamo Ruscelli, Venice, 1598, 9.8 x 7.3 inches /25 x 18.5 cm, Bound in 17th century vellum with remnants of ties, minor spotted and dusty. The book block with minor worming in white margin, marginal damp marking or foxing. A fine, complete and clean copy with strong impression of the engravings.Wormholes: The notable wormholes can be seen on the title page. The larger left one in the hinge going through 4 lefts, one of the three small ones right to the title word 'Tolomeo' affection around 50 leafs and the other two around 20 leafs. Only affection the margin of text. There is another small wormhole not seen on the titlepage affection the last 100 leafs in the upper right corner, also only in margin not affection the images or text.

The Atlas in not washed, in original untouched condition, not restored or repaired. Foxing and damp staining isn't obvious, some marginal age toning, overall a excellent copy, hard to find in this quality., (Estimate: $12000 14000) Sixth edition of Ruscelli's translation of Ptolemy's Geografia edited and extended by Giuseppe Rosaccio published by the Hires of M. Sessa in 1598 and 1599.

Illustrated with 69 double page engraved maps and several woodcuts in the text. Whereof 27 Ptolemy maps and 42 'modern' map, including 4 world maps (one Ptolemy /Shirley 133, three modern /Shirley 110, 111, 217), 7 maps of America (Western Hemisphere, South America, Mexico with Florida, Brazil, east coast of North America, Haiti, Cuba), 28 European maps (including the North-Atlantic map with parts of Labrador), 10 maps of Africa and 20 maps of Asia.

The Valgrisi copper plates of the earlier Ruscelli editions have been revised by Rosaccio and extended by five new plates. Most of the Ptolemy and Modern maps have been extended by cute illustrations as ships, sea monsters, fishes, trees, figures and with additional place names. Rosaccio did not forget the geographical relation and reference to the text in the maps. A morbid example can be found on the Brazil map, where R. underlined the text 'Gli indi natij di questi paesi mangiano carne humana' (The Indians of these countries eat human meat) by a cannibal illustration. Another interesting addition is the southern continent on the modern world map (Shirley 110, now 2nd state). The second modern world map (Shirley 217) is almost certainly from Rosaccio himself. Shirley mentioned 'the engraving is sharp and neat, and is a skilful reduction of Rumold Mercator's map of 1587 but with parallel latitudinals'. In addition to the new world map, R. added continent maps of America (Burden 86), Asia, Africa and Europe.

HERMELIN, SAMUEL GUSTAV, Geographiske chartor öfver Swerige. Afd. I-IV. 1796-1812, Stockholm, 1796-1812, 26 x 28.3 inches /66 x 72 cm, Imperial folio. Engraved frontispiece, 4 engraved title pages with vignette views, 28 old coloured coper engraved maps. Half calf binding by Wahlstrom, 1926., (Estimate: $5400 - 6500) This is the beautiful first four parts of Samuel Gustav Hermelins atlas of Sweden and Finland "Geografiske Kartor öfver Swerige". Each of the four title pages have spectacular landscape images or a view of Stockholm, engraved by Fredrik Akrel, a very skilled and productive engraver who later became director of Anders åkermans globe construction shop.

Hermelins atlas was the first comprehensive mapping of Sweden and Finland. An earlier attempt by "Kongl. Landtmäteri Contoiret" in the 18th century, did not manage to cover the entire country.

Samuel Gustav Hermelin launched his major cartographic undertaking as a private citizen. Unfortunately he suffered substantial economic loss. Due to economic difficulties the work, in its later stages, was continued by "Geographisk Inrättning", a private company before the government bought the plates, and the rights, to the work in the 1820s.

The atlas was published 1796-1818. The Finnish part of the atlas was produced a few years before Sweden lost Finland to Russia.

Hermelin (Samuel Gustaf, Baron) was a Swedish cartographer, mineralogist and patriot, born on 4 April 1744 and died in Stockholm on 4 March 1820. He made explorations (1782-1784) in Germany, France, in North America and the British Isles, and on his return he introduced his improvements in the exploitation of mines in Falun. He was quit successful and established factories, sawmills, settled in Norrbotten, brought dry marsh, he build roads and discovered the rich mines Gellivare. He prepare maps and published an "Atlas of Sweden and the Finland (1797-1807)", unfortunately the project failed and only 58 maps were published.

Large 8vo. 152 numbered pages, with 8 full page maps (Asia, North America, South America, Indonesia, African continent, North Africa, South Africa and Turkey). Contemporary cloth binding with gilt lettering on spine.

The maps have been drawn in blue ink, often other colours of ink used for naming cities or outlining details. Seas usually coloured blue. An intriguing manuscript atlas / geography book. There is no author mentioned on the title page, but on the first blank is a handwritten name "Martin Greubel".

Page 5/135

The name "Greubel" is also in gilt lettering at the bottom of the spine. That makes it likely he was the author of this book. Whether this book was made by Greubel with the idea to get it published or as an amateur or student exercise only, is unclear. We found no further information on the author. Nevertheless, the book is very nicely executed.

The handwriting is very neatly done and well legible, the nice maps all have outline colouring. The last chapter (only two pages) deals with Australia, discussing the mainland, geographical deteails, sailing routes and outlying islands. On the first blank is in a small script also the original price of binding the manuscript.

This was the first map to set standard longitudes for known places based on scientific calculations.

Beyond its sheer beauty, this North Polar projection or azimuthal, equi-distant world map represents an important step in the history of mapping.

Despite cartographic advances, California still appears as an island. Based on the famous 1696 Planisphere by Jacques Cassini, the map was developed from data collected at many observatories in such distant places as Malacca, Nanking and Guadeloupe. As the information was collected and sent to Paris, it was transferred to a gigantic planisphere. Cassini was highly trained and disciplined scientist, a skilled astronomer, and a geodesist.

This spectacular adaptation of the map by Van der Aa is perhaps the most elegantly engraved of the California as an island maps. 造 (Lot number: 90669)

In addition, Cook surveyed over 3,000 miles of the west coast of North America, searched to the edge of the Arctic ice for a Northwest Passage linking the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans, and verified French discoveries located southeast of the Cape of Good Hope.

Cook was an accomplished scholar and scientist as well as an adventurer, and the beautifully colored prints from this work provide a fascinating first-hand account of his major discoveries. Cook's voyages were also the first to carry professional artists, whose ethnographic drawings are reproduced here as delicately engraved illustrations.

John Webber, the artist on Cook's third voyage, worked quickly and with great attention to detail, making this the most fully illustrated of Cook's voyages. The bulk of Webber's aquatint engravings are anthropological and ethnological in subject. Considering the variety of people and places

ANONYMOUS., Missisippi..

Nieuwe Volkplanting om wind., Amsterdam 1720, 5.7 x 7.5 inches /14.5 x 19 cm, In very good condition., (Estimate: $550 - 650) This satirical engraving is one of the most famous cartographic curiosities. They represent the collapse of the French Compagnie de la Louisiane d'Occident, and similar English and Dutch companies. John Law, a Scottish financier, established the company in 1717 and was granted control of Louisiana. Law developed an elaborate plan - The Mississippi Scheme (now known as the Mississippi Bubble) - to exploit the fabulous resources of the region. It quickly gained popularity and people rushed to invest in the scheme. Share prices opened at 500 livres and rapidly rose to 18,000 livres.

At this point, speculators cashed in, caused a run on the shares, and the company went bankrupt. As a consequence of the failure of the Mississippi Scheme, confidence in other similar companies failed, and thousands of individual investors across Europe were ruined. The general term Bubble was applied to such schemes and this great engraving is filled with puns referring to the greed and foolishness of the speculators and investors. This is an engraved view of the Mississippi River and four similar vignettes showing investors devastated by the scheme. Dutch text below. (Lot number: 80625)

Drawn by Louis Le Breton, lithographed by Sabatier and Mayer.

From the "Atlas Pittoresque" that accompanied the massive volumes Voyage au pole sud et dans l'Oceanie, published by Gide from 1841-1854 about Dumont d'Urville's voyage to the South Pole and the South Pacific.

On the voyage of 1837, Dumont d’Urville was asked by King Louis-Philippe to explore the South Pole. The main focus of the voyage was to reach Antarctica "towards the Pole as far as the polar ice will permit" (Rosenman, 1992, p. 110).

He sailed into the South Atlantic, to the Straits of Magellan, then further south to the Antarctic, reaching 63° latitude south until the ice, fog and snow prevented them from going any further. Valuable data was obtained on these unknown regions, but at the cost of an outbreak of scurvy. Of the 183 men on board the two ships, 22 did not make it back alive.

Dumont d'Urville then sailed to Chile to refresh supplies and allow the men the chance to recover. From Chile he sailed across the Pacific, visiting the Marquesas, Tahiti, Samoa, Tonga, Fiji, the Solomon's, the Carolinas and New Guinea. The expedition then did a circuit around Indonesia and South East Asia before sailing down the west coast of Australia to Hobart, Tasmania.

Once summer returned, Dumont d'Urville decided to make another push for the Antarctic. On 19 January 1840, land was sighted and Dumont d'Urville named it Terre Adélie, after his wife.

Samples of rock were taken to prove that it was a continent, and the French flag was flown. Discovering and claiming Terre Adélie in Antarctica for the French was strategically and politically Dumont d'Urville’s most significant achievement. (Lot number: 29053)

This atlas was one of the most remarkable world atlases ever produced, anticipating the International Map of the World and being the first atlas to show the entire land mass of the world on a uniform scale. Supported by the fortune of his parents and assisted by his brother, Jean-François, Vandermaelen built a spacious geographical Institute in 1829, in which he installed a map-drawing section, a library and a museum. He published one of the most remarkable world atlases ever made: a world atlas with ca.400 maps on a uniform scale of ca. 1:1,6 million. This work, which appeared in 1827, was far ahead of its time but its appearance could only be justified by the unparalleled zeal of its author.This atlas was also the first to be made totally with lithography, carried out by Henri Ode, who applied a new technique, especially designed for the Atlas Universel.

CORONELLI, V., A set of 3 Coronelli Globe gores,showing Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Peru., Venice, 1696, 18.5 x 11.4 inches /47 x 29 cm, Very good, clean condition. Two of the maps cut short on bottom with some loss of image., (Estimate: $3600 - 4000) These globe segments were published in 1696 as part of the atlas entitled "Libri dei Globi".

This atlas contained the sheets from which his two globes (one of the Earth and one of the Heavens) could be formed. The book was published in a small number, and is excessively rare: no more than 6 surviving copies are known.

The separate sections appear on the market every now and then, but are still rare. To see an interlinking set like this on the market, is quite special.

Coronelli's maps are among the best representations of the geographical knowledge of his time. He only used information that was confirmed by different sources (for example, the globe shows no Antarctic continent, because Coronelli did not believe any information about it reliable enough to use it on his map).

The segments offered here show all of South America below the Amazon river: Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, Argentina, Chile and Peru.

Beautifully composed with eye for detail and many nice small figures of Cannibals, Mythical animals, and so on.

The cartouche on the eastern section shows Pope Alexander VI dividing the New World between Spain and Portugal.

On the voyage of 1837, Dumont d’Urville was asked by King Louis-Philippe to explore the South Pole. The main focus of the voyage was to reach Antarctica "towards the Pole as far as the polar ice will permit" (Rosenman, 1992, p. 110).

He sailed into the South Atlantic, to the Straits of Magellan, then further south to the Antarctic, reaching 63° latitude south until the ice, fog and snow prevented them from going any further. Valuable data was obtained on these unknown regions, but at the cost of an outbreak of scurvy. Of the 183 men on board the two ships, 22 did not make it back alive.

Dumont d'Urville then sailed to Chile to refresh supplies and allow the men the chance to recover.

Joachim Ottens (1663 - 1719) and his sons Renier and Joshua were prominent Dutch booksellers and map publishers from about 1680 to 1790.

Joachim, the founder of the firm, was initially employed as a copperplate engraver by Frederick de Wit. In 1711 Joachim founded his own firm.

Though Joachim died only a few years later, his sons Renier and Joshua took over the firm and presided over its most prolific period.

Kaart van de Nederlandse kolonie Berbice of "Berbiesjes", onderdeel van Nederlands Guiana. De handgekleurde inzet linksonder geeft een nieuwe beschrijving van de rivieren Berbice en Suriname. Berbice is een rivier in het huidige Guyana aan de noordkust van Zuid-Amerika. In de 17e en 18e eeuw was aan de Rio (rivier) Berbice de Nederlandse kolonie Berbice gevestigd met als hoofdstad Nieuw-Amsterdam, het huidige New Amsterdam.

De kolonie Berbice was een onderdeel van Nederlands Guiana. De kolonie werd in 1627 door de Zeeuwse koopman Abraham van Peere gesticht.

Berbice werd in 1796 door de Britten veroverd. In 1831 werd het met twee andere, inmiddels Britse kolonies Essequibo en Demerara, samengevoegd tot Brits Guiana. Sinds 1966 vormt dit gebied de zelfstandige staat Guyana. Linksboven op de kaart een handgeschreven verhaal over de slavenopstand van 1763. Cuffy of Kofi was aanvoerder van een slavenopstand van meer dan 2500 slaven in de Hollandse kolonie Berbice (in het huidige Guyana) in 1763. Cuffy was van Akan afkomst. Op 23 februari 1763 kwamen de slaven in het gebied in opstand onder leiding van Cuffy, Cosala, Accabre, Atta, Akara en Goussari. In die tijd telde de hele kolonie slechts 346 blanken (mannen, vrouwen en kinderen) en 3833 Afrikaanse slaven. Vrijwel alle blanken ontvluchtten hun plantages. Ongeveer veertig van hen vonden de dood. De opstandelingen hielden het grootste deel van Berbice gedurende tien maanden bezet. Plantages werden verwoest, huizen verbrand en suikermolens onklaar gemaakt. Vanuit Plantage Lilienburg vielen Cuffy en zijn mensen de plantages Magdalenenburg, Juliana, Mon Repos, Essendam, Lilienburg, Elizabeth en Alexandra, Hollandia en Zeelandia aan en namen ze in waarna ze naar Fort Nassau trokken. De mulatten kozen veelal de kant van de blanken. Peerboom werd aangevallen en gevangen genomen op 3 maart 1763, voordat Cuffy en zijn mensen hun laatste strijd om Fort Nassau planden. Verdeeldheid onder de rebellen en aanvallen door de Nederlanders leidden er echter toe dat de opstand werd neergeslagen. Akara leidde niet afgesproken aanvallen op Dageraad, op een moment waarop Europese versterking aangekomen was en het Afrikaanse slavenleger leed zware verliezen. Cuffy kreeg een hevig meningsverschil met Akara. Akara werd afgezet en gedwongen te werken tussen de manschappen. Vervolgens sloot Akara een bondgenootschap met Atta tegen Cuffy. Daarna werkte hij samen met de Nederlanders, en nam deel aan de geslaagde aanslag op Accabre die een eind maakte aan de opstand. Kort daarna pleegde Cuffy zelfmoord. De Europese hulptroepen van Barbados en elders heroverden Berbice. Bij de herovering van de kolonie op de slaven kwamen meer dan 1800 slaven om. De slavenopstand van Berbice was de eerste serieuze poging van een grote groep slaven in Guyana om hun vrijheid terug te winnen. Ook was het de eerste georganiseerde poging van slaven om hun vrijheid te herwinnen in het hele Amerikaanse continent. Ondanks de onderlinge verdeeldheid, en de uiteindelijke nederlaag van de opstandelingen, gaf deze eerste groep Guyanese revolutionairen toch het startschot voor de strijd tegen de koloniale onderdrukking.

Translated by Suard and published in Paris by Saillant et Nyon - Pancoucke in 4 volumes with numerous illustrations, charts, and maps.

An Account of the voyages undertaken by the order of His Present Majesty for making discoveries in the southern hemisphere, and successively performed by Commodore Byron, Captain Wallis, Captain Carteret and Captain Cook, in the Dolphin, the Swallow, and the Endeavour , the first official three-volume account of James Cook's first voyage, was edited by John Hawkesworth in English in London in 1773. The second and third volumes are entirely concerned with Cook's voyage, based upon material drawn from journals kept by Cook and the papers of Joseph Banks.

Hawkesworth composed his account in the first person of Cook and incorporated Banks' descriptions and observations as well as his own commentary, without ever distinguishing the different sources.

Captain James Cook, explorer, cartographer and hydrographer went to command several notable voyages, the first was from 1768-1771. He was led to his commission by the direction of British overseas exploration in 1766 as commander of HM Bark Endeavour for the first of three Pacific voyages.

Cook's journals were published upon his return, and he became something of a hero among the scientific community. Cook's 12 years sailing around the Pacific Ocean contributed much to European knowledge of the area. (Lot number: 29073)

To the south is a lake fed by three rivers, perhaps reflecting Ptolemy's knowledge of the contemporary Marib Dam. This dam, of course, no longer existed in Ruscelli's day, having been destroyed in the 2nd Century A.D. (Lot number: 02052)

Left hand margin cut close, shaving the image., (Estimate: $60 - 90) Very early map of the Asian part of Turkey. From his Cosmographia, that great compendium of Renaissance knowledge. An exciting print.Sebastian Münster was born in Nierder-Ingelheim, near Mainz on 20th January 1488, the son of Andreas Münster. In 1505, he joined the Franciscan Order, and four years later was sent to the monastery of St. Katherina in Rufach. There he studied under Konrad Pelikan, who was to have great influence over the young man in the next five years. Pelikan was a teacher of Hebrew, Greek, mathematics and cosmography.

In 1529 Munster settled in Basle, where he was to spend the rest of his life. In 1540, Munster's edition of Ptolemy appeared, illustrated with 48 woodcut maps, the standard Ptolemaic corpus supplemented by a number of new maps, of great significance for the mapping of Europe.

Having completed the Geographia, Munster returned to his pet project, the description of Germany. In 1544, he published the first edition of the Cosmographia, a summary both of Munster's own geographical researches and those of his many correspondents. The Cosmographia, with its later expanded editions, was as close as Munster would come to fulfilling the vision of 1528.

The Cosmographia was very much in the illustrative tradition of the Hartmann Schedel's Nuremberg Chronicle, bringing together many of the modern maps from the Geographia, additional maps that had come to him in the intervening years, as well as several hundred woodcuts printed set in the text. Again, the Cosmographia was frequently reprinted. For the 1550 edition additions included a large number of town prospects. (Lot number: 26204)

D' Après de Mannevillette (1707-1780) was a famous French sailor and hydrograph. During a voyage to China in 1728 he succeeded in correcting the latitudes of many places using new instruments.

When the first edition of his Atlas Le Neptune Oriental (containing only 22 charts) was published in 1745, it was regarded as a major achievement and a library indispensable to navigators.

Jean Baptiste Bourguignon d' Anville (1697-1782), French cartographer. Compiled over 200 maps. This map is from his most important work Nouvel Atlas de la Chine, published in The Hague 1737, The principal cartographic authority on China during the 18th century. (Tooley) D'Anville used maps prepared by Jesuit missionaries and commissioned by Emporer-Kanyx, who in 1708-1716 ordered a surveying of the country. This map is the first accurate cartographic depiction of this area available in the western world.

The ornate cartouche shows emperor Kang Hsi presiding over the survey he had ordered the Jesuits to execute in his name between 1708 and 1716.

Two fathers, with an armed mounted escort, are investigating a farmer settlement, his lodging and cattle. The scale cartouche is adorned by two wolf hunters.

Showing in the west: Tibet and Kashgar, on the north: Mongous, and on the northeast: Mantcheoux. All these areas are now part of modern China, respectively as, Tibet, Xinjiang (whose second largest city is Khashgar), Inner Mongolia, and Manchuria (Heilongjiang, Jilin and Liaoning provinces).

The map is important as being one of the first accurate maps of Korea. No text on verso.

In the tradition of Sanson and de L'Isle French school of exact cartography, D'Anville brought exacting scholarship and accuracy to his maps. Never leaving Paris, he managed to amass a vast collection of geographical/historical/ statistical/political materials, in particular from the observations of Jesuit missionaries.

He is said to have produced his first map at age 15, but he gained notoriety only in 1735 for his contribution to du Halde's "Description. de la Chine.".

He quickly followed with the 1737 "Nouvel atlas de la chine", and then the 1740 "Atlas general". (Lot number: 28144)

Very rare chart of the territory where the Dutch East India Company V.O.C. was active, from the east of Africa till the western and southern coasts of Australia showing the discoveries made by Abel Tasman. These charts were published in the Netherlands for use at sea and the Dutch vessels sailing to and from the Indies were equipped with these charts. Being an important mean for navigation they had to be kept up to date using the latest possible information. Being used on board ship they where due to parish easily and the remaining number of copies is therefor very small.

Engraved chart sea chart printed on ply-paper.

Interestingly the chart has a misspelling of the name : van Kuelen in stead of van Keulen. In none of the consulted documentation we find notice of the misspelled name. A most embellished map of the East Indies, showing the coastline of Australia as established by Abel Tasman in 1644.

This chart was first published by Pieter Goos c. 1660. Schilder notes that "this map contains a complete survey of Dutch expansion in the East Indies and takes into account Tasman's two voyages of exploration".

The plates for this and other of Goos's charts passed to Johannes van Keulen, the pre-eminent Dutch maritime publisher of the next generation, who sometimes included these oversize charts in his sea-atlases, which would account for the careless trimming to the upper border.

This copy is however is less trimmed than the Goos version sold recently in the Sothebys Sale rooms.

Japan was probably identified with the island Zipangu , described by Marco Polo in the 13th. century.Page number on verso is 108, published in 1598.A statement in the upper right corner reads, “Cum Imperatorio, Regio, et Brabantiæ privilegio decennali. 1595,” which gave the Royal and Brabant privilege for ten years, beginning in 1595.

Milestone map of Japan. It retained its influence until more than fifty years later when a new milestone map appeared, the Martini map of 1655.

With a letter dated at February 2, 1592 Texeira sent to Ortelius "dos piesas de las descriptiones de la China y del Japan." (Hessels letter 210) Ortelius had asked for these maps in a previous letter, which has not been found. At the same time he promised a map of Brazil, but only the map of Japan and Korea was used for the Theatrum since 1595. The map is the first reasonably accurate and recognizable European depiction of Japan.

Two pages from the richest illustrated Incunable, the famous: Liber chronicarum or Nuremberg Chronicle, published the year that Columbus returned to Europe after discovering America.The view shows the destruction of Jerusalem. Major points in the city are identified with Latin notations. Of interest, in the upper left of the image are two figures on a mountain top. One figure appears to be Christ: the other figure appears to be the Devil with horns drawn by a contemporary hand and also with a Latin inscription. Above the view are some twenty lines of Latin text. The verso shows various kings and prophets with descriptive text.

The woodblock cutters were Michael Wolgemut, the well-known teacher of Albrecht Dürer, and his stepson Wilhelm Pleydenwurff. Wohlgemut was Albrecht Dürer's tutor between 1486-90 and recent scholarship has shown, Albrecht Dürer may also have collaborated, since some of the cuts bear a remarkably close resemblance to the Apocalypse illustrations.

The printing was carried out under the supervision of the great scholar-printer Anton Koberger, whose printing were famous throughout Europe.

Prester John: For centuries it was an article of faith among Europeans that a great and powerful Christian kingdom existed in Asia, separated from its co-believers by the forces of the Islam.

If only they could join together, Christian armies could then destroy the Moslem empires. This notion was stimulated in 1177 when Byzantine Emperor Manuel I received a letter purporting to be from the ruler of this Christian Kingdom, Prester John. (Prester derives from the Latin presbyter or priest.) As European knowledge of Asia grew, the location of Prester John's kingdom changed until it was realized it could not be in Asia. Africa then became the place of choice, a legend strengthened by the fact that the Ethiopians were Coptic Christians. Even up to the 16th century, there was sufficient belief (or hope) for maps to include this mythical kingdom. (Lot number: 90798)

Sir Robert Dudley's Dell'Arcano del Mare is the earliest printed sea atlas to cover the entire world, and the first made by an Englishman, and the first to use the Mercator projection. It collects all the naval knowledge of its time. It was first published in Italian at Florence in 1645, then again in 1646 in a three volume folio, and which is remarkable for its inclusion of a proposal for the construction of a navy in five rates which Dudley designed and described. It was reprinted in Florence in a two volume folio in 1661 without the charts of the first edition.

The distinctive Baroque style of Dudley's charts, is attributable to the elegant engraving of Antonio Francesco Lucini.

The six-volume work covered navigation, shipbuilding and astronomy , with 130 maps in two volumes . Unlike the vast majority of his contemporaries, Dudley's maps are all his own and were not copied from other mapmakers. They have an instantly recognizable style, closer to the pre-17th-century manuscript portolan charts than the richly decorated maps of Mercator, Hondius and Blaeu.

Later map-makers chose not to copy Dudley's style and so it remains unique in the annals of cartography. The engraving by Antonio Francesco Lucini, who stated that he spent 12 years and used 5,000 pounds of copper to produce the plates, is of exceptional quality, as is the calligraphy.

Shortly after the publication of the big folio-atlases the need was apparently felt for a smaller-sized atlas, one that would be handier and above all, cheaper.

The Atlas Minor was larger in format than other small atlases available at the time allowing for significantly greater detail and more place names than found in its rivals. (Lot number: 24138)

WILLEM JANSZOON BLAEU 1571-1638 - JOAN BLAEU (son) 1596-1673 - CORNELIS BLAEU (son) d. c. 1642 At the beginning of the seventeenth century Amsterdam was becoming one of the wealthiest trading cities in Europe, the base of the Dutch East India Company and a center of banking and the diamond trade, its people noted for their intellectual skills and splendid craftsmanship.

At this propitious time in the history of the Northern Provinces, Willem Janszoon Blaeu, who was born at Alkmaar in 1571 and trained in astronomy and the sciences by Tycho Brahe, the celebrated Danish astronomer, founded a business in Amsterdam in 1599 as a globe and instrument maker. It was not long before the business expanded, publishing maps, topographical works and books of sea charts as well as constructing globes. His most notable early work was a map of Holland (1604), a fine World Map (1605-06) and Het Licht der Zeevaerdt (The Light of Navigation), a marine atlas, which went through many editions in different languages and under a variety of titles. At the same time Blaeu was planning a major atlas intended to include the most up-to-date maps of the whole of the known world but progress on so vast a project was slow and not until he bought between 30 and 40 plates of the Mercator Atlas from Jodocus Hondius II to add to his own collection was he able to publish, in 1! 630, a 60-map volume with the title Atlantis Appendix. It was another five years before the first two volumes of his planned world atlas, Atlas Novus or the Theatrum Orbis Terrarum were issued. About this time he was appointed Hydrographer to the East India Company.

In 1638 Blaeu died and the business passed into the hands of his sons, Joan and Cornelis, who continued and expanded their father's ambitious plans.

After the death of Cornelis, Joan directed the work alone and the whole series of 6 volumes was eventually completed about 1655. As soon as it was finished he began the preparation of the even larger work, the Atlas Major, which reached publication in 1662 in II volumes (later editions in 9-12 volumes) and contained nearly 6oo double-page maps and 3,000 pages of text. This was, and indeed remains, the most magnificent work of its kind ever produced; perhaps its geographical content was not as up-to-date or as accurate as its author could have wished, but any deficiencies in that direction were more than compensated for by the fine engraving and coloring, the elaborate cartouches and pictorial and heraldic detail and especially the splendid calligraphy.

In 1672 a disastrous fire destroyed Blaeu's printing house in the Gravenstraat and a year afterwards Joan Blaeu died. The firm's surviving stocks of plates and maps were gradually dispersed, some of the plates being bought by F. de Wit and Schenk and Valck, before final closure in about 1695.

It ought to be mentioned here that there is often confusion between the elder Blaeu and his rival Jan Jansson (Johannes Janssonius). Up to about 1619 Blaeu often signed his works Guilielmus Janssonius or Willems Jans Zoon but after that time he seems to have decided on Guilielmus or G. Blaeu (Lot number: 91477)

When charting the history of map-making, one discovers that each country saw the emergence of a new nation as the dominant force in the field. In the 15th-century, the Italians were at the forefront, gaining new information from explorers and navigators who sailed to the New World. The Dutch took over in the 16th-century, with innovative cartographers such as Gerard Mercator who established the Mercator Protection still in use today, and Abraham Ortelius who created the first atlas in the modern sense of the word.

Following the long period of Dutch domination, Germany-followed by France, and later Britain and the United States-became the center of the world map-making industry. Within Germany, the most important map publishers were Johann Baptist Homann and his heirs.

Johann Baptist Homann (1663-1724) founded his business in Nuremberg around the year 1702. Homann was an engraver and map seller, geographer to the Kaiser of the Holy Roman Empire and a member of the Prussian Royal Academy of Science. As the patriarch and founder of eighteenth century Germany's most prolific map publishing house, Homann and his heirs issued numerous world atlases including Neuer Atlas (1714), Grosser Atlas (1737) and Atlas Maior (1780) as well as a special Atlas of Germany (1750). Characteristically, Homann maps were issued plain and hand-coloured.

Their cartouches, as in the example "America Septentrionalis", were usually left unpainted. One of the strengths of Homann's work was that he constantly revised his maps and atlases, improving them with new information and corrections of all kinds. (Lot number: 91482)

The Robert de Vaugondy family of mapmakers were preeminent in the eighteenth century, at a time when the French were at the forefront of cartography. Gilles Robert de Vaugondy was a descendent of the family of the great seventeenth-century French cartographer Nicolas Sanson.

Sanson had initiated the so-called “French school of cartography,” which was unprecedented in its attention to precision and scientific detail, and which discarded much of the decorative embellishments of previous maps as being irrelevant. From Sanson’s time in the second half of the seventeenth century until the latter part of the eighteenth century, with the activity of the Robert de Vaugondy family, French geographical conceptions were more influential than those of any other nation.

Gilles Robert de Vaugondy inherited the firm of his uncle, Pierre Moullart-Sanson, in 1730. He enlarged the stock of his family company when he purchased the estate of another acclaimed cartographer, Hubert Jaillot. He and other family members combined much of the inherited cartographic material with their own innovations, as well as those of the most advanced American mapmakers, to publish a series of beautifully produced atlases at mid-century.

Gilles and his son, Didier, were the most celebrated members of the cartography dynasty, both honored with the title of Geographer to the King, Gilles in 1730 and Didier in 1760. (Lot number: 91454)

The firms output was prolific, and de Wit maps are often found in atlases by other cartographers. During his long working life, de Wit published 124 land maps and 27 sea charts that were distinguished by their high standard of workmanship, beauty, accuracy and fine coloration.

The maps are typical of the style of the period, being completely executed and decorated with cartouches. The founder's son, a skilled mathematician and grandson together carried on the work of the firm, and published 130 maps, although the business did not survive for long after the elder de Wit's death. Their atlases varied in composition and were seldom dated, the only clue being the dates on separate sheets. In addition, the de Wit family of cartographers frequently purchased the plates of various contemporaries including Blaeu and Jansson, resulting in similarities between their work.

He added certain new sheets, but Seutter's work had been coarser than Homann's, and Lotter's was no improvement.

Large margins., (Estimate: $1500 - 2000) Decorative view in Rome. Signed in this plate in the right corner : Piranesi Archittetto fec.. In lower bottom Presso l'Autore a Strada Felice nel palazzo Tomatti vicino alla Trinita de Monti.Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720-1778) was an Italian etcher, draughtsman and architect. He was born in Venice on the 4th October 1720. In 1740 Piranesi left Venice for Rome and started to draw Roman architecture. He studied etching under Giuseppe Vasi.

With the help of Giuseppe Wagner, a successful engraver and publisher of Venice, he returned to Rome, where he had a workshop on the Corso.

Most of his life was passed in Rome, etching, writing, publishing, and directing a workshop in which the restoration and sale of antiques played a considerable part.

Although perhaps Piranesi’s most discussed etchings are those of his visionary Prison series (Carceri), his Views of Rome (Vedute di Roma), produced as single prints between 1748 and 1778, are his best-known mature works. Comprising 135 large-scale etchings of the buildings of classical and post-classical Rome, these images contributed considerably to the city’s fame and to the rise of Neoclassicism in art, architecture, and interior design in the second half of the eighteenth century. Piranesi’s unparalleled accuracy of depiction, his personal expression of the structures’ noble simplicity and calm grandeur (in the words of the art historian Johann J. Winckelmann), and his technical mastery made these prints some of the most original and impressive representations of architecture to be found in Western art.

The present print appears to be from the Paris edition of 1800–1807.

Following Piranesi’s death in 1778, his children carried on his publications in Rome until 1798. Two years later, the artist’s sons moved to Paris, taking with them their father’s original copper plates and from their new location reissuing his prints until 1839 when the Camera Apostolica bought the plates.

A strong and desirable impression from his most important architectural series. ¤ (Lot number: 23101)

Law's reputation caused the stock to sell readily, and the organization soon enlarged the scope of its activities by absorbing other commercial companies, its name than being changed to the 'Company of the Indies'. Enormous profits were anticipated...and the increasing demand for its stock led to wild speculation.

The anticipated immense and immediate profits were not realized, and soon the scheme revealed itself as a purely speculative venture.

In 1720 the company failed, the 'bubble' bust, and the stockholders lost their entire investment, many being completely ruined.

Nicolas Sanson was to bring about the rise of French cartography, although the fierce competition of the Dutch would last until the end of the century. His success was partly owing to the partnership with the publisher Pierre Mariette. In 1644 the latter had purchased the business of Melchior Tavernier, and helped Sanson with financial support in producing the maps.

The Danckerts family was very large with many family members active in engraving as artists. The family's roots can be traced back to Cornelis Danckerts (1536-1595), a carpenter in Amsterdam. Two sons are known: Cornelis Danckerts de Rij (1561-1634) and Danckert Cornelisz (ca.

1580-1625). Several members of this branch were well-known engravers-etchers, mapmakers and printsellers.

Hoe ver ligt de periode van krijgsgevangenschap achter ons! Maar bij het beschouwen van deze fraaie reproducties komen de herinneringen boven aan een tijdperk, dat voor velen onzer weliswaar vervuld was van zorg en leed, doch dat ons daarnevens toch ook veel moois schonk aan echte vriendschap, geloof, vertrouwen en daadkracht.

En dan denken wij, zoals ik schreef in het slotwoord van “Het Zesde Oorlogsjaar”, minder aan wat onaangenaam was of scheen, dan aan het vele goede, dat door onderlinge samenwerking tot stand kwam of dank zij de zorg en moeite van enkelingen vaak ons aller deel werd. Eén dezer enkelingen was onze kok, de kapitein van Dulmen Krumpelman, wiens begaafdheden zich, zoals zijn tekeningen aantonen; zich echter geenszins tot de culinaire beperken.

Het is mij bijzonder sympathiek, dat de ontwerper deze map heeft opgedragen aan hen, die zijn achtergebleven op de kerkhoven in Polen en in Zuiden Noord Duitsland.

Engraved by the master engraver Pierre François Tardieu (1752-1798) and L.Aubert for the text.

Highly detailed , including the cities of Astrakhan, Moscow, Irkutsk, Tobolsk. In the most eastern part Alaska indicated as "Amérique Septentrionale". The "Aleutian Islands" are still Russian territory. Because of the location of the islands, stretching like a broken bridge from Asia to America, many anthropologists believe they were a route of the first human occupants of the Americas. The earliest known evidence of human occupation in the Americas is much farther south, the early human sites in Alaska have probably been submerged by rising waters during the current interglacial period. People living in the Aleutian Islands developed fine skills in hunting, fishing, and basketry. Hunters made their weapons and watercraft. The baskets are noted for being finely woven with carefully shredded stalks of beach rye.

Explorers, traders and missionaries arrived from Russia beginning in 1741.

Johannes Janssonius, more commonly known to us as Jan Jansson, was born in Arnhem where his father was a bookseller and publisher (Jan Janszoon the Elder). In 1612 he married the daughter of the cartographer and publisher Jodocus Hondius, and then set up in business in Amsterdam as a book publisher. In 1616 he published his first maps of France and Italy and from then onwards he produced a very large number of maps, perhaps not quite rivaling those of the Blaeu family but running a very close second in quantity and quality. From about 1630 to 1638 he was in partnership with his brother-in-law, Henricus Hondius, issuing further editions of the Mercator/Hondius atlases to which his name was added. On the death of Henricus he took over the business, expanding the atlas still further, until eventually he published an 11-volume Atlas Major on a scale similar to Blaeu's Atlas Major.

The first full edition of Jansson's English County Maps was published in 1646 but some years earlier he issued a number of British maps in the Mercator/Hondius/Jansson series of atlases (1636-44); the maps were printed from newly engraved plates and are different from the later 1646 issue and are now rarely seen . In general appearance Jansson's maps are very similar to those of Blaeu and, in fact, were often copied from them, but they tend to be more flamboyant and, some think, more decorative.

After Jansson's death his heirs published a number of maps in an Atlas Contractus in 1666 and later still many of the plates of his British maps were acquired by Pieter Schenk and Gerard Valck, who published them again in 1683 as separate maps. ¤ (Lot number: 91478)

A good example of this rare plan!, (Estimate: $1000 - 1200) One of the earliest obtainable town-plans of Moscow from the first authentic account of Russia written by a western traveler: "Rerum Moscoviticarum commentarii Sigismundi liberi baronis in Herberstain, Neyperg, et Guettenhag. Russiae, et quae nunc eius metropolis est, Moscoviae, brevissima descriptio. Chorographia denique totius imperi, Basileae 1556, S. 244." The book remains a significant source for understanding the geography, politics, religion and social conditions of sixteenth century Russia.

Sigismund von Herberstein made two visits to Russia. In 1517-1518 he traveled as a diplomatic envoy of the Holy Roman Emperor, Maximilian I. He returned in 1526-1527 as an ambassador of Ferdinand I, King of Bohemia and Hungary. His combined visits amounted to a period of sixteen months during which he was able to see "... the land and city of Moscow and much of their manners and customs... Thus I can bear witness not merely from hearsay but as one who has seen partly for himself..." (Translation by J B C Grundy: 1969, p15).

The walled center of the city is depicted with its many churches and filled with people and horse-drawn sleighs, others of which are shown, along with skiers, on the river to the right.

In the foreground are depicted two cows and a number of armed Russian soldiers on horseback. These graphically reflected the growing military power of Moscow under Grand Duke Ivan IV (Ivan the Terrible), who was the first to assume the title of Tsar of Russia and who established the city as the capital of the Grand Duchy of Russia in 1547, not long before this image was made.

From the greatest publication in this genre! The Civitates was compiled and written by George Braun, Canon of Cologne Cathedral.Braun gathered together vast amounts of information and draft plans to produce over 500 city views/maps published in six parts between 1572 and 1617.

Most of these engravings were made by Simon Novellanus and Frans Hogenberg, many after drawings by Joris Hoefnagel.

LE PRINCE, J. B., Ajustement des Femmes de Valday Situé entre Petersbourg et Moscou., Paris, 1764, 7.3 x 6.2 inches /18.6 x 15.8 cm, Mint condition. Dark impression., (Estimate: $240 - 300) Etching by Jean-Baptiste Le Prince (1734-1781), from "2me Suite de divers cris de marchands de Russie", showing typical russian costums. The sketches Le Prince made in Russia of exotic costumes and customs served him well when he returned to Paris in 1763. He distributed suites of russeries like this one, in a breezy Rococo style.

Born to a family of ornamental sculptors and gilders, he became famous for creating a new kind of genre picture, based on the direct observation of Russian subjects, and also for perfecting aquatint technique. Sometime around 1750 he became a pupil of François Boucher, thanks to the protection of the Maréchal de Belle-Isle (1684–1761), governor of Metz. Boucher’s saturated brushwork, highly finished surfaces and incisive drawing had a decisive impact upon the young artist, as did, perhaps, the diversity of his output. He was also inspired by 17th-century Dutch and Flemish genre and landscape painters.

Le Prince is said to have made a trip to Italy in 1754, fleeing from the much older wife whom he had married in 1752, but there is as much evidence against such a trip as for it. By July 1757 Le Prince had arrived in St Petersburg. Well received by the French envoy, the Marquis de l’Hôpital, he received more than 40 commissions to execute overdoors for the Empress Elizabeth in the newly constructed Winter Palace, he received more commissions from Peter III (1728–62).

Le Prince is said to have travelled extensively in Russia, according to some as far as Siberia. His prints show a knowledge of the north-western and western Empire, but the number of imperial commissions that cover his entire sojourn from 1757 to 1762 makes it unlikely that he travelled as much as has been claimed. The drawings he made in Russia (e.g. Paris, Louvre) provided the basis for a considerable body of work that added to the general taste of the 18th century for exotica.

Page 108/135

The years between 1763 and 1775 mark the summit of Le Prince’s career and production. From 1764 to 1768 he was at work on drawings, Philadelphia, PA, Rosenbach Library, for the Voyage en Sibérie, Paris, 1768, of the Abbé Jean-Baptiste Chappe d’Auteroche (1728–69). In 1765 he was received as a member of the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture with a painting representing a Russian Baptism and showed 15 pictures at the Paris Salon, all of Russian subjects.

In 1769 Denis Diderot severely criticized one of his Salon exhibits, Le Cabak , Stockholm, National Museum, for its lack of finish, Diderot, however, also praised Le Prince for his refined mastery of aquatint technique. Between 1765 and 1768 Le Prince published several suites of etchings and aquatints on Russian themes, and he exhibited 29 sheets at the Salon of 1769. The popularity of his Russian subjects is also shown by his tapestry cartoons of Russian Games.

After 1770 ill-health caused Le Prince to retire to the Brie district near Paris. He then concentrated more on landscapes and pastoral subjects, such as Landscape near Tobolsk, Rouen, and the Russian Festival, 1770, Angers.

Working from sketches executed from life and using models and actual costumes brought back from his travels, Le Prince introduced an almost ethnographic concern and exacting accuracy into his rendition of exotic subjects. Although these Russian pictures constitute the best-known aspect of his output, he also produced Classical subjects, such as Anacreon, Lawrence, U. KS, Spencer Museum of Art, and gallant genre pictures, such as Fear, Toledo, Ohio Museum of Art, as well as French landscapes.

Collections: Le Prince is represented in the following collections: Hermitage, St Petersburg, Indianapolis Museum of Art, Indiana, J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles, Louvre, Paris, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Texas, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, National Gallery, London, Art Gallery of the University of Rochester, New York, Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna O Waiwhetu, New Zealand, Cleveland Museum of Art, Ohio, Cornell Fine Arts Museum at Rollins College, Florida, Courtauld Institute of Art, London, Musées de Lorraine, France, Wallraf-Richartz-Museum, Cologne, amongst others.

LE PRINCE, Dédiée à Monsieur Boucher Premier Peintre du Roy, Recteur et Directur de son Academie Royalle de Peinture et de Sculpture…, Paris, 1764, 7.5 x 9.1 inches /19 x 23 cm, Very good condition., (Estimate: $120 - 150) Title page etching by Jean-Baptiste Le Prince (1734-1781), for "2me Suite de divers cris de marchands de Russie", showing typical Russian costumes.

The sketches Le Prince made in Russia of exotic costumes and customs served him well when he returned to Paris in 1763. He distributed suites of russeries like this one, in a breezy Rococo style.

Born to a family of ornamental sculptors and gilders, he became famous for creating a new kind of genre picture, based on the direct observation of Russian subjects, and also for perfecting aquatint technique. Sometime around 1750 he became a pupil of François Boucher, thanks to the protection of the Maréchal de Belle-Isle (1684–1761), governor of Metz. Boucher’s saturated brushwork, highly finished surfaces and incisive drawing had a decisive impact upon the young artist, as did, perhaps, the diversity of his output. He was also inspired by 17th-century Dutch and Flemish genre and landscape painters.

Le Prince is said to have made a trip to Italy in 1754, fleeing from the much older wife whom he had married in 1752, but there is as much evidence against such a trip as for it. By July 1757 Le Prince had arrived in St Petersburg. Well received by the French envoy, the Marquis de l’Hôpital, he received more than 40 commissions to execute overdoors for the Empress Elizabeth in the newly constructed Winter Palace, he received more commissions from Peter III (1728–62).

Le Prince is said to have travelled extensively in Russia, according to some as far as Siberia. His prints show a knowledge of the north-western and western Empire, but the number of imperial commissions that cover his entire sojourn from 1757 to 1762 makes it unlikely that he travelled as much as has been claimed. The drawings he made in Russia (e.g. Paris, Louvre) provided the basis for a considerable body of work that added to the general taste of the 18th century for exotica.

The years between 1763 and 1775 mark the summit of Le Prince’s career and production. From 1764 to 1768 he was at work on drawings, Philadelphia, PA, Rosenbach Library, for the Voyage en Sibérie, Paris, 1768, of the Abbé Jean-Baptiste Chappe d’Auteroche (1728–69).

Very good condition., (Estimate: $60 - 90) Map of Scandinavia. From his Cosmographia, that great compendium of Renaissance knowledge. An exciting print.Sebastian Münster was born in Nierder-Ingelheim, near Mainz on 20th January 1488, the son of Andreas Münster. In 1505, he joined the Franciscan Order, and four years later was sent to the monastery of St. Katherina in Rufach. There he studied under Konrad Pelikan, who was to have great influence over the young man in the next five years. Pelikan was a teacher of Hebrew, Greek, mathematics and cosmography.

In 1529 Munster settled in Basle, where he was to spend the rest of his life. In 1540, Munster's edition of Ptolemy appeared, illustrated with 48 woodcut maps, the standard Ptolemaic corpus supplemented by a number of new maps, of great significance for the mapping of Europe.

Having completed the Geographia, Munster returned to his pet project, the description of Germany. In 1544, he published the first edition of the Cosmographia, a summary both of Munster's own geographical researches and those of his many correspondents. The Cosmographia, with its later expanded editions, was as close as Munster would come to fulfilling the vision of 1528.

The Cosmographia was very much in the illustrative tradition of the Hartmann Schedel's Nuremberg Chronicle, bringing together many of the modern maps from the Geographia, additional maps that had come to him in the intervening years, as well as several hundred woodcuts printed set in the text. Again, the Cosmographia was frequently reprinted. For the 1550 edition additions included a large number of town prospects. (Lot number: 26209)

Philippe Buache de la Neuville was born in Neuville-en-Pont (France) on 7th February 1700 and studied at the Académie des Sciences, where he won the first prize for architecture in 1721.

He subsequently joined the Ministry of the Navy, where his drafting skills enabled him to concentrate on cartography. In 1729 he became geographer to the king, then geographer in the Académie des Sciences, successor to his former teacher and father-in-law, Guillaume Delisle (1675-1726). He pioneered a new form of theoretical geography and, in 1755, was appointed Professor of Geography.

More than a copyist, Buache was an academic geographer who researched his material thoroughly, relying on the most up-to-date information from voyages of discovery. He was the first geographer to recognize the important concept of the watershed and it was this that led him to make a number of deductions, some correct, some not.

Buache was trained under the geographer Guillaume Delisle, whose daughter he married, and whom he succeeded in the Académie des sciences in 1730. Buache was nominated first geographer of the king in 1729. He established the division of the world by seas and river systems. He believed in a southern continent, an hypothesis which was confirmed by later discoveries. In 1754, he published an "Atlas physique."

His nephew, Jean Nicolas Bauche (born La Neuville-au-Pont, 15 February 1741 and died Paris, 21 November 1825), continued his business and was also a geographer of the king.

Mercator was born in Rupelmonde in Flanders and studied in Louvain under Gemma Frisius, Dutch writer, astronomer and mathematician. The excellence of his work brought him the patronage of Charles V, but in spite of his favor with the Emperor he was caught up in the persecution of Lutheran protestants and charged with heresy, fortunately without serious consequences. No doubt the fear of further persecution influenced his move in 1552 to Duisburg, where he continued the production of maps, globes and instruments.

Mercator's sons and grandsons, were all cartographers and made their contributions in various ways to his atlas. Rumold, in particular, was responsible for the complete edition in 1595. The map plates were bought in 1604 by Jodocus Hondius who, with his sons, Jodocus II and Henricus, published enlarged editions which dominated the map market for the following twenty to thirty years.

It has a tooth in the front part of its head standing out seven cubites . Divers have sold it as the Unicorn's horn. It is thought to be a good antidote and powerful medicine against poison. This monster is forty ells in length. B. the Roider is a fish of one hundred and thirty ells in length, which has no teeth. The flesh of it is very good meat, wholesome and tasty. Its fat is good against many diseases. C. The BURCHVALUR has a head bigger than its entire body. It has many very strong teeth, of which they make chess pieces. It is 60 cubites long.

D. The Hyena or sea hog is a monstrous kind of fish about which you may read in the 21st book of Olaus Magnus. E. Ziphius {1606E, not in 1609S{(maybe he means Xiphius, the sword fish)}1606E, not in 1609S}, a horrible sea monster that swallows a black seal in one bite. F. The English whale, thirty ells long. It has no teeth, but its tongue is seven ells in length.

G. HROSHUALUR, that is to say as much as Sea horse, with manes hanging down from its neck like a horse. It often causes great hurt and scare to fishermen.

H. The largest kind of Whale, which seldom shows itself. It is more like a small island than like a fish. It cannot follow or chase smaller fish because of its huge size and the weight of its body, yet it preys on many, which it catches by natural cunning and subtlety which it applies to get its food.

I. SKAUTUHVALUR. This fish is fully covered with bristles or bones. It is somewhat like a shark or skite, but infinitely bigger. When it appears, it is like an island, and with its fins it overturns boats and ships.

K. SEENAUT, sea cow of grey colour. They sometimes come out of the sea and feed on the land in groups. They have a small bag hanging by their nose with the help of which they live in the water. If it is broken, they live altogether on the land, accompanied by other cows.

L. STEIPEREIDUR, a most gentle and tame kind of whale, which for the defense of fishermen fights against other kinds of whales. It is forbidden

Page 114/135

by Proclamation that any man should kill or hurt this kind of Whale. It has a length of at least 100 cubites.

M. STAUKUL. The Dutch call it Springual. It has been observed to stand for a whole day long upright on its tail. It derives its name from its leaping or skipping. It is a very dangerous enemy of seamen and fishermen, and greedily goes after human flesh. N. ROSTUNGER (also called Rosmar) is somewhat like a sea calf. It goes to the bottom of the sea on all four of its feet, which are very short. Its skin can hardly be penetrated by any weapon.

It sleeps for twelve hours on end, hanging on some rock or cliff by its two long teeth. Each of its teeth are at least one ell long and the length of its whole body is fourteen ells. O. Spermaceti parmacitty or a simple kind of amber, commonly called HUALAMBUR. P. Blocks and trunks of trees, by force of winds and violent tempests torn off by their roots from the cliffs of Norway, tossed to and fro, and surviving many storms, finally cast upon and coming to rest at this shore. Q. Huge and marvelously big heaps of ice, brought here by the tide from the frozen sea, making loud and terrible noises. Some pieces are often as big as forty cubits. On some of these, white bears sit together, watching the innocent fish play about in exercise. ¤ (Lot number: 28587)

In 1792 he created his geographical Komptoir and was extremely prolific, producing no less than 830 maps. In 1796 he published his large Deutscher Atlas which was the first world atlas produced by an Austrian.

Supported by the fortune of his parents and assisted by his brother, Jean-François, Vandermaelen built a spacious geographical Institute in 1829, in which he installed a map-drawing section, a library and a museum. He published one of the most remarkable world atlases ever made: a world atlas with ca.400 maps on a uniform scale of ca. 1:1,6 million. This work, which appeared in 1827, was far ahead of its time but its appearance could only be justified by the unparalleled zeal of its author.

Rand McNally, Map of Sweden and Norway., Chicago, 1895, 13.5 x 20.3 inches /34.3 x 51.5 cm, Small tear in middle of bottom margin, (Estimate: $300 - 400) Rand McNally & Company. Indexed Atlas of the World.

The name Rand McNally is today synonymous with maps, and Rand McNally & Company is one of the foremost cartographic publishing houses in the world. Although the company achieved its greatest success and growth in the twentieth century, its foundations were firmly laid prior to 1900.

In the 1850's Rand McNally & Company began to print tickets for the railroads. This entrée into the rapidly expanding railroad industry was to have a great influence on the company.

In the 1870s the firm published the Rand McNally & Company's Railway Guide. The company's map business came of age in 1876 with publication of Rand McNally & Co.'s New Railroad and Country Map of the United States and Canada, Compiled from the Latest Government Surveys, and Drawn to an Accurate Scale. After this publishing endeavor they published their first atlas, the Business Atlas of the Great Mississippi Valley and Pacific Slope, in the same year. One of the reasons that Rand McNally was so successful was their method of engraving. They utilized a process known as wax engraving. In brief, wax engraving was a simple and ingenious process by which a metal printing plate in relief could be produced from an engraved mold. This process allowed Rand McNally to accelerate and facilitate correction work. The introduction of this single technique was responsible for the Company's instantaneous success in mapmaking.

In the interest of broadening their scope, Rand McNally published the Indexed Atlas of the World in the early 1880s. The state and territory maps in this atlas resemble those in the Business Atlas, and like the Business Atlas maps were based on the company's New Railroad and County Map of the United States and Canada. The maps of foreign countries, however, appear to have been newly compiled, drafted, and engraved for the Indexed Atlas of the World. With the map o343f each country there is a descriptive article on its geography, economics, and social conditions. The introduction of the atlas places great emphasis on the indexing system employed in it and stresses "the great use which has been made of colored diagrams."

The Indexed Atlas of the World was popular, and a number of one-volume editions were published to 1892. Later editions were expanded to include as many as 904 pages. From 1894-1908, the atlas was published in two- and four-volume editions, in enlarged folio formats. To distribute the Indexed Atlas of the World and other publications, Rand McNally established, in 1886, the Continental Publishing Company. The imprint of this firm appears on some Rand McNally atlases and maps until 1904. (Lot number: 91453)

In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries there were many popular speciality establishments in Paris, Augsburg and London which produced optical viewing devices and special engravings to be viewed through them. In the 18th century the optical print or vue optique came into existence, whose exaggerated converging lines were intended to produce the optical illusion of deep recession. The viewing devices for which these perspective prints were produced consisted of a lens and a mirror, this requiring the use of reversed or mirror-image pictures.

ANONYMOUS, Madrid Puerta Del Sol, Germany, c. 1900, 12.6 x 16.4 inches /32 x 41.6 cm, Chromo lithography, in very good condition., (Estimate: $180 - 225) The Puerta del Sol (Spanish for "Gate of the Sun") is one of the most well known and busiest places in Madrid.

The Puerta del Sol originated as one of the gates in the city wall that surrounded Madrid in the 15th century. Outside the wall, medieval suburbs began to grow around the Christian Wall of the 12th century. The name of the gate came from the rising sun which decorated the entry, since the gate was oriented to the east. (Lot number: 29040)

Rand McNally, Map of Switzerland., Chicago, 1895, 13.5 x 20.2 inches /34.3 x 51.4 cm, Small tears along bottom margin., (Estimate: $320 - 400) Rand McNally & Company. Indexed Atlas of the World.

The name Rand McNally is today synonymous with maps, and Rand McNally & Company is one of the foremost cartographic publishing houses in the world. Although the company achieved its greatest success and growth in the twentieth century, its foundations were firmly laid prior to 1900.

In the 1850's Rand McNally & Company began to print tickets for the railroads. This entrĂŠe into the rapidly expanding railroad industry was to have a great influence on the company.

In the 1870s the firm published the Rand McNally & Company's Railway Guide. The company's map business came of age in 1876 with publication of Rand McNally & Co.'s New Railroad and Country Map of the United States and Canada, Compiled from the Latest Government Surveys, and Drawn to an Accurate Scale. After this publishing endeavor they published their first atlas, the Business Atlas of the Great Mississippi Valley and Pacific Slope, in the same year. One of the reasons that Rand McNally was so successful was their method of engraving. They utilized a process known as wax engraving. In brief, wax engraving was a simple and ingenious process by which a metal printing plate in relief could be produced from an engraved mold. This process allowed Rand McNally to accelerate and facilitate correction work. The introduction of this single technique was responsible for the Company's instantaneous success in mapmaking.

In the interest of broadening their scope, Rand McNally published the Indexed Atlas of the World in the early 1880s. The state and territory maps in this atlas resemble those in the Business Atlas, and like the Business Atlas maps were based on the company's New Railroad and County Map of the United States and Canada. The maps of foreign countries, however, appear to have been newly compiled, drafted, and engraved for the Indexed Atlas of the World. With the map of each country there is a descriptive article on its geography, economics, and social conditions. The introduction of the atlas places great emphasis on the indexing system employed in it and stresses "the great use which has been made of colored diagrams."

The Indexed Atlas of the World was popular, and a number of one-volume editions were published to 1892. Later editions were expanded to include as many as 904 pages. From 1894-1908, the atlas was published in two- and four-volume editions, in enlarged folio formats. To distribute the Indexed Atlas of the World and other publications, Rand McNally established, in 1886, the Continental Publishing Company. The imprint of this firm appears on some Rand McNally atlases and maps until 1904. (Lot number: 91452)

There was still a lot of handwork to be done : the initials were coloured, a gold frame was drawn around the text and on the verso the picture from the Danse Macabre was painted â&#x20AC;&#x201C; unfortunately rather clumsily!The text is from the Litany of many Saints, just before the Office of the Dead.

BOOK OF HOURS, Leaf on vellum from a printed Book of Hours., Paris, ca. 1507, 6.7 x 4.3 inches /17 x 11 cm, Very good., (Estimate: $100 - 110) Book of Hours leaf, printed by Thielman Kerver* in 1507. It is printed on vellum in black and red with many initials hand painted in red, blue and gold.

The firm of Thielman Kerver is best known for its lovely printed Books of Hours, many of which include hand-painted miniatures and initial letters.

Thielman Kerver, who was one of France’s most prolific printers of such books, began printing Books of Hours in 1497, and continued until his death in 1522. At this time, his widow, Iolande Bonhomme, took over the firm, and continued to produce liturgical books of different types until 1556. Brunet notes that even though Kerver printed many different Books of Hours, his work is less common than that of his colleagues, Simon Vostre and the Hardouins. Brunet suspects that is because fewer copies on vellum were printed, and paper copies were destroyed. This may also account for the rarity of the present leaf.
