    Ptolemy world map by Sebastian Münster
    Münster, Sebastian


    Typus Orbis Ptol Descriptus.

    Basel, H. Petri 1552 [25 x 34,2 cm]
    Woodcut map, finely hand colored in wash by a later hand. Verso illustrated with a decorative colored woodcut illustration.Woodcut map, finely hand colored in wash by a later hand. Verso illustrated with a decorative colored woodcut illustration. A highly decorative woodcut map by famous mapmaker Sebastian Münster published in his Ptolemy edition 1552 in Basel at Heinrich Petri. The decorative woodcut bordures verso were probably cut by the famous 16th century woodcutter Hans Holbein. Nearly none of the captivating woodcut borders verso are repeating, they are mainly shaped by allegoric scenes, coat of arms or wonderful initials. This is the famous woodcut map of the 'Antique World' published in Sebastian Münster's Ptolemy edition 1552 in Basel and map also still appeared later on in his Cosmographia. Probably one of the most decorative woodcut world maps published in the 16th century. It is surrounded by clouds and twelve named blowing wind heads, the antique world is shown as a schematic woodcut map. It shows the predominant conception of the world geography prior to the discovery of the New World and it is based on Claudius Ptolemy. The schematic world map names the Northern Arctic regions 'Mare Glaciale', Taprobana (Sri Lanka) in the Indian Ocean is laid out as a huge large island compared to other parts of the world, also multiple lake sources for the riversystem of the Nile is remarkable on the African continent. Enclosed Indian Ocean, large Taprobana (Ceylon), and multiple lake sources for the Nile.

    Blaeu, Joan


    Nova et Accuratissima Totius Terrarum Orbis Tabula. Auctore Ioanne Blaeu.

    Amsterdam, J. Blaeu. 1662/66 [41 x 54,2 cm]
    Copper engraving, hand colored in outline and wash when published. Old color example of Blaeu's double hemisphere map of the World, originally prepared by Joan Blaeu's 'Atlas Maior' in 1662. This example is very blank (without text) and was published in a sea-atlas by Pieter Goos around 1665/66. Joan Blaeu's double hemisphere world map is one of the most decorative and beautiful engraved maps of the 17th century. It is impressive with its allegoric scenes in the four corners of the map. At the top we do find the planets, with Ptolemy and Copernicus. The bottom shows allegories on the four seasons. California is shown as an Island on the map, further New Zealand and Australia are with engraved notes on discoveries. A very good to excellent preserved example of this rare map.
    Minor skillfully restored splits or folds near the centre fold, two small restored marginal tears at the bottom and at the top, slightly affecting the engraved border of the map. Centre fold strengthened. Else in very good to excellent condition. Shirley #428; Van der Krogt volume II, [0001:2B];

    De Wit's plate of 1670


    de Wit, Frederick


    Nova Orbis Tabula, in Lucem Edita, A.F. de Wit.

    Amsterdam, c. ( 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 worldmap. 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.

A beautiful decorative world map in two hemispheres, equipped with two circular celestial diagrams. Further two celestial spheres are displayed on the eastern hemisphere and on the western hemisphere we find eleven lines of text on the discovery of the Americas and other recent voyages and circumnavigations.

These allegories are equipped with landscapes, animal life and inhabitants.

    Nova Totius Terrarum Orbis Tabula Amstelaedami per F. de Wit. ex Officina R.. & I. Ottens.

    Amsterdam, Ottens Renier & Josua 1745 [48,2 x 56,4 cm]
    Copper-engraving, decorative hand colored in outline and wash. A good example of this famous Dutch double hemisphere maritime world map, published first by Frederick de Wit in his sea atlas. This is the third state published 1745 by Renier & Josua Ottens. This highly decorative map is illustrated in the four corners with the following scenes: Fire - Air - Earth - Water. In the upper left corner Pluto is carrying off a female, while a battle is taking place in the background, in the upper right corner a scene of the heavens with Zeus and Hera, the bottom corners are showing a rural scene bringing in the harvest and a maritime view with a spouting whale. It shows California as an island and has outlines for Australia and New Zealand. Further it has amendments with engraved routes of earlier explorations showing the travels of Tasman, Chevalier de Chaummont and the routes of Magellan and de le Maire. There are numerous additions of islands in the Pacific and Indian Ocean.
    The plate is in the eastern hemisphere in Southeast Asia partly worn and the printing in that region slightly blurred. A few older tiny tears or marginal mendings, mostly in the area of the centre fold and just above the allegory of the fire. A remarkable highly decorative map still in good to very good condition.
