New England
Danckerts, Justus
Novi Belgii novaeque Angliae nec non partis Virginiae tabula multis in locis emendata a Iusto Dackers.
Amsterdam, J. Danckerts 1655 [46,5 x 54,5 cm]
Copper engraving, hand colored in outline. This is one of the famous maps of New England, showing the East coast from South of the Chesapeake towards the St. Lawrence river in the North. The map was published by J. Danckerts for the first time from 1655 onwards. This is the second state of three with Philadelphia.' The Delaware River has been entirely redrawn. On the prototype map the river had been given two branches of almost equal importance, the westerly called the ZUYDT River and the easterly passing through a lake before both united and joined the Hudson River. Danckerts completely altered the river's course above Philadelphia making it flow in one broad stream due south from a lake which he enlarged for the purpose. In this version there is no connection between the Delaware and Hudson Rivers ...' (Tooley, p. 285) It is equipped with the famous view of 'New Amsterdam' in its earliest days. The primary aim of this famous Dutch map was to produce a detailed and informative map of the Dutch province of New Netherlands and the surrounding region. The map was ornated with a decorative floral vignettes around the title cartouche and the view of New Amsterdam. As well Indian life, probably taken from the de Bry' s voyages, was used to ornate this map.
A good impression in decorative later hand color. Several skillfully carefully mended tears. However still an acceptable very good example of this rare and decorative map of New England. Campbell, The Jansson- Visscher Maps of New England. pp. 285/86 / #9;

De Wit's plate of 1670
de Wit, Frederick
Nova Orbis Tabula, in Lucem Edita, A.F. de Wit.
Amsterdam, de Wit 1670 [46,5 x 54,5 cm]
Copper-engraving, in original hand colour (when published). A very good and sharp impression of this double hemisphere world map. The map is showing California as an Island (here with the sharp top). The map is ornated in the corners with very decorative mythological scenes. 'De Wit's map is one of the most attractive of its time. The brilliant scenes in the corners combine images of the four seasons, the elements, and the signs of the zodiac in a well balanced and naturalistic way' (Shirley p. 469). The map was published ca. 1670 in atlases by de Wit and is here present in its 1st state, before the cusps were filled with cherubs and an outer border was added.
Verso a few minor skillfully restored splits, due of the old colors, mainly near the centre fold and near the margins. In good to very good condition. Shirley #451 (state 1 of 2).

Senex, I.
Africa Corrected from the Observations of the Royal Society of London and Paris. By John Senex F.R.S. To Sr. Isaac Newton Kt. President of the Royal Society and Master of her Majesties Mints. This Map is Dedicated by his most Obedient and most humble Servant. I. Senex. Engrav'd by I. Senex.
London, John Senex 1728-40 [69,4 x 97,8 cm]
Copper engraving, hand colored in outline and wash. Large and highly decorative map of Africa published between 1728-40 in an atlas by John Senex in London. This oversized map was printed from two plates shows Africa with islands in the Atlantic Ocean and the neighboring Indian Ocean with Madagascar. Africa is divided up into its kingdoms. The political borders of the kingdoms in Africa are engraved and as well emphasized in outline and wash hand color. Further the map provides information on the names the individual kingdoms and the names of the native tribes. Various information on deserts, mountains, woods, lakes, latest discoveries, gold mines, place names of cities and small towns, streets and routes, etc. are engraved. In the lower left corner we do have a highly decorative title cartouche with allegories to the African continent: an elephant, a lion, a native (holding a gold nugget and ivory lying in front of him) and a typical allegoric scene of a river god, probably for the Nile river. In the lower right corner we do find a highly large decorative allegory to justice and geography with two standing women centering the sun, holding instruments. This cartouche contains a new dedication to Sir Isaac Newton. John Senex, bookseller, engraver, publisher and geographer was a contemporary and rival of Hermann Moll. With a smaller output he had a sounder geographical judgment and was one of the leading English geographers of the late 18th century (Collector's Circle Maps of Africa No. 48). John Senex was elected 1728 a Fellow of the Royal Society, he died in 1740.
Large engraved map printed from two plates. As often or nearly always due to the oversize of this map with small skillfully marginal mendings, mainly in the upper blank margin of the map. Two carefully skillfully restorations at the lower bottom of the map in blank areas. Overall a very good to excellent example of this highly decorative map. Collector's Circle Maps of Africa No. 48
