1. GOOS, PIETER / BLAEU, WILLEM JANZOON, PASKAARTE Vertonende alle de Zekusten vanEVROPA. Nieulvez aldus uytgegeven, Door P. Goos... Gedruckt t'AMSTERDAM Bij PIETER GOOSOp't Water inde Ver gulde Zee-Spiegel, c.1621/c.1650-1666.

25 3/4” x 33 3/4”. Printed on vellum. Original color, illuminated with gold. Very good condition.$68,000.

Printed on vellum, this is the second and final state of Willem Janszoon Blaeu’s rare sea chart ofEurope, c. 1621. The chart was highly influential and was faithfully copied by Anthonie Jacobzand Justus Danckerts, as well as by Blaeu’s own grandchildren Willem, Pieter and Joan. Goosmade the only re-issue of the original Blaeu plate, and Gunther Schilder dates this state between1650 and 1666, noting that “the text in the title cartouche, still crowned by the printer’s mark ofBlaeu, has been replaced and a new imprint has been placed in a new, richly decorated cartouchein Greenland.” He lists only three examples on vellum and two on paper, making the Goos issuerarer than the first state. The chart is oriented with west towards the top and extends from NovayaZemla in the east to the Azores in the west, and from the northern coast of Spitbergen to the CanaryIslands in the south. The eastern portion of the Mediterranean is depicted within the interior ofNorth Africa. Magnificently decorated, there are richly detailed European coats of arms, scale car-touches in the corners, several ships in the waters, a pair of native people in Greenland, and anumber of animals portrayed on land, including polar bears and elephants. ref: Schilder,Monumenta Cartographica Neerlandica, Vol. IV, #45.2, pp. 100-103.

2. ROME PTOLEMY / SWEYNHEYM, CONRAD, [untitled Ptolemaic map of the world], 1478/1490.

13” x 21 1/2”. Uncolored. Trimmed close at left margin. Centerfold reinforced on verso.Otherwise excellent condition. $29,500.

This is the second Ptolemaic world map ever printed, preceded only by the one appearing in thefirst published atlas, the Bologna Ptolemy, in 1477. “The new copper plates engraved at Rome forthe 1478 edition of Ptolemy’s Geography are much superior in clarity and craftsmanship to thoseof the Bologna edition. There is evidence that work on the Rome edition had been started in 1473or 1474, and several of the plates may well have been engraved before those printed at Bologna in1477. The printing was carried out by two skilled printers of German origin: Conrad Sweynheymand his successor Arnold Buckinck; the publisher was Domitius Calderinus. Many consider theRome plates to be the finest Ptolemaic plates produced until Gerard Mercator engraved his clas-sical world atlas of 1578” -- Shirley. The world map from the 1478 Ptolemy later appeared, with-out change, in the 1490 edition, and it is impossible to distinguish the 1478 map from the oneappearing in 1490. ref: Shirley, The Mapping of the World, #4, pl. 16; Suarez, Shedding The Veil, p. 23.

Third plate. This third and final platefor Ortelius’ world map replaces theearlier border of clouds with an elabo-rate strapwork frame and four medal-lions containing classical texts.Geographically the Solomon Islandsare marked for the first time. ref:Shirley, The Mapping of The World, #158.

The publication of the Ortelius atlas in1570 “marked an epoch in the history ofcartography. It was the first uniformlysized, systematic collection of maps ofthe countries of the world based only oncontemporary knowledge since the daysof Ptolemy” -- Tooley. The geography ofthis Ortelius world map is based onMercator’s great map of 1569. “Fromsurviving correspondence it is knownthat Mercator generously encouragedOrtelius to make use of his publishedcorpus of research; he also provided himwith co-ordinates of places in Americaand perhaps elsewhere” -- Shirley. Theimportance of Ortelius’ Theatrum on thehistory of cartography is impossible tooveremphasize. Shirley remarks that“through its launching, pre-eminence in map pub-lishing was transferred from Italy to TheNetherlands leading to over a hundred years ofDutch supremacy in all facets of cartographical pro-duction.” A total of three plates were engraved forthe world map.

Gerard Mercator’s great worldmap of 1569 was condensed intodouble hemispherical form by hisson Rumold. Shirley calls theengraving “a model of clarity andneatness.” First appearing in 1587,the map has a long and complexhistory. It was originally pub-lished in Isaac Casaubon’s editionof Strabo’s Geographia and laterappeared in at least two editions ofMercator’s atlas. The map mayhave also been separately issued,as well as being printed atDuisberg in the third and final partof Mercator’s atlas. In 1595, afterthe death of his father Gerard,Rumold reissued the entire atlas asone work. The world map plates were eventuallysold to Jodocus Hondius, who continued publicationof the map through the early 1630s.

Only edition. “Myritius has been described asperhaps the last of the geographers to acceptwithout question the connection of NorthAmerica with Asia” -- Portraits of The World. Theconnection of Asia and America is most preva-lent on earlier Italian Gastaldi-type world maps,and Shirley notes that the choice of place nameson the Myritius also points to reliance on anItalian rather than a Dutch source. Published inIngolstadt, Germany in 1590, this handsome ovalmap is surrounded by sixteen cherubic wind-heads inside of a heavy decorative outer border.ref: Shirley, The Mapping of The World, #175, plate142; Portraits of The World, #7, pp. 10-11.

This is the rare first edition of a separately publishedworld map engraved by Hondius and issued byParisian publisher Jean Le Clerc. Based on Drake’shypothesis, the map prophetically shows Tierra delFuego, the island at the southern tipof South America, 15 years before itwas actually confirmed to be anisland. Other maps of the perioddelineate it as the northern tip of anenormous southern continent. Thesignificance of an insular shape wasthat it allowed competitors of theDutch, who controlled the Straits ofMagellan, an alternate pathway tothe Pacific - by rounding the Hornbelow the island. Shirley points outthat “Hondius [the engraver] hasexercised his considerable artisticskill to provide a novel and distinc-tive border for the central map.”South America has also been cor-rected from the potato shape foundon the usual Mercator states of themap. ref: Shirley, The Mapping of TheWorld, #233.

Appearing in Linschoten’s rareItinerario, this map by Vrients is aclose copy of the one by PetrusPlancius which appeared in 1594,with differences affecting the north-ern seas and improvements to theborder decorations “with evengreater stylistic effect” -- Shirley.The original 1594 Plancius worldmap holds the distinction of beingthe very first world map to use astyle of richly decorated border thatwould dominate world maps for

decades to come. “The elaborate pictorial borderswere inspired by drawings in the works of Theodorede Bry published a few years earlier and establisheda pattern of cartographical decoration that lastedover a century” -- Shirley. Both the original Planciusand this version by Vrients had great importancegeographically, particularly in the mapping of theArctic and the Far East. There is an elaborateattempt at a Northwest Passage, and Plancius him-self instigated three voyages into the area. ref:Shirley, The Mapping of The World, #192, plate 157.

This uncommon world map is from aSpanish translation of Botero’s geograph-ical and political commentary, RelacionesUniversales del Mondo, published inValladolid in 1603. Very few maps werepublished in Spain during the sixteenthand early seventeenth centuries. Thisworld map by De Solis is based on theOrtelius of 1570 and includes the peculiarbulged outline of South America. De

Solis adds four small maps of the continents in cir-cular medallions in the corners. An excellent exam-ple. ref: Shirley, The Mapping of The World, #242.

This is the Jansson edition of PieterVan Der Keere’s rare world mapwith four decorative borders.According to Shirley, it “is anundisguised and skillful copy ofWillem J. Blaeu’s single sheetworld map of two years earlier.The clarity and precision ofKeere’s engraving is in no wayinferior to that of Josua van denEnde who engraved Blaeu’s map.”Van Der Keere’s map is slightlysmaller than the Blaeu, andincludes a number of new legends.There is also a long note near thecartouche dealing with the ques-tion of whether or not the straits ofAnian and Davis link up to form anorthwest passage. Unlike thelater states of Blaeu’s map, thereare strong rhumb lines radiatingfrom the compass roses. This is anexample of the fourth edition ofthe map, published in the rareAtlantis Maioris Appendix by Jansson and Hondius.“Examples of the first three states are rare, and eventhe fourth state is uncommon” -- Shirley. ref: Shirley,The Mapping of The World, #264, plate 207.

Shirley calls this famous world map by Willem J.Blaeu “one of the supreme examples of the map-maker’s art.” Drawn on the Mercator Projection, the

map is a reduction of Blaeu’slarge world map of 1605.This single sheet version wasmagnificently engraved byJosua van den Ende. Thesuperb border decorationswhich surround the mapinclude representations ofthe sun, moon, and fiveknown planets along the top,while the bottom vignettesshow the seven classicalwonders of the world. Theside panels represent the fourseasons and four elements.Willem Blaeu was thefounder of one of the mostpowerful cartographic hous-es in Amsterdam, one whichwould dominate mapmakingfor the greater part of the17th century. ref: Shirley, TheMapping of The World, #255.

Extremely rare. Second edition,dated 1618, with Spilbergen’s pas-sage around the Strait of Magellan.This vividly decorated world mapby Nicolaes Van Geelkercken takesmuch of its geography from his ear-lier map of 1610, “however the richexternal decoration is quite new. Inthe corners there are rural scenesillustrating the four seasons and, inthe upper and lower central parts,panoramas of the Garden of Eden and the LastJudgement. Some of the human details - milkmaids,reapers, skaters - are particularly lively” -- Shirley.The map is exceedingly rare. Shirley cites only twoexamples of the 1617 first edition and states that“four or five examples are extant dated 1618.” ref:Shirley, The Mapping of The World, #295, Rarity RR.

This scarce world mapreplaced an earlier engraving basedon Jodocus Hondius. Both the north-west and northeast coastlines of NorthAmerica have been revised, but thereis no mention of any part of Australia.

Scarce. This double-hemisphere map, created forHendrick Doncker’s De Zee-Atlas Ofte Water-Wereld, is thefirst world map produced byFrederick De Wit. The hemi-spheres have been reduced,with alterations, from Blaeu’sclassic wall map of 1648. DeWit has omitted the largeinland sea in North America,the land marked Yedso northof Japan, and has reduced thesize of northeast Asia. Thesurround includes two celes-tial spheres, north and southpolar projections, astronomi-cal diagrams, garlands offruits and flowers, and repre-sentations of the four ele-ments. Shirley notes that “DeWit’s map is one of the mostdecorative standard sizemaps of the time and is muchless commonly found thanhis three other atlas worldmaps.” ref: Shirley, TheMapping of The World, #421.

This world map by Petrus Schenck is basedon a design by Carel Allard, which firstappeared in 1696. The traditional decorativesurround of many seventeenth century worldmaps has been replaced by a striking darkcross-hatched background. In addition to thetwo main hemispheres, there are eight small-er projections of the earth and four circulardiagrams. The title banners are similar tothose on the Allard, but Schenck has re-intro-duced some of the Dutch decorative style inthe form of small cherubs between the mainhemispheres. Allard’s design was also adopt-ed by Zurner, Homann and Seutter. ref: cf:Shirley, The Mapping of The World, #578.

Set of five maps, approximately 13” x19” each. Full original color. Excellentcondition. French text edition. $32,000the set.

A very fine set of world and continentmaps from the first modern atlas.Although this is a matched set from the1587 French text edition, it is interestingto note that the world map retains theincorrectly bulged outline of SouthAmerica while the Western Hemispheremap corrects it for the first time. A total of threeplates were engraved for the world map. The exam-ple in this set is from the second plate, engraved in1586 to replace the first plate which had cracked. Itis the final state of the map to retain the unusualshape of South America. Ortelius’ map of theWestern Hemisphere is one of the most importantever published, issued when the coastal areas of theNew World had been fairly well explored, andEuropeans were just beginning settlement and colo-nization. At this critical historical juncture, it wasOrtelius' map that was most responsible for provid-ing Europeans with their best cartographic guide tothe Americas. Norwich describes the Ortelius mapof Africa as “one of the cornerstones of map makingof the continent of Africa, and [it] remained the stan-dard map for the rest of the sixteenthcentury.” Also in the set are Ortelius’fine maps of Asia and Europe. Anexcellent set in fine original hand color.ref: Koeman, Atlantes Neerlandici, Ort 22;Shirley, The Mapping of The World, #153,plate 2, state 2; Burden, The Mapping ofNorth America, #64; Norwich, Maps ofAfrica, #10.

10 1/2” x 10 1/2”. Second edition, second state.Uncolored. Excellent condition. $3,500.

This woodblock of the Western Hemisphere is theearliest obtainable accurate map of the Americas.The map appeared in Ramusio’s Terzo Volvme delleNavigationi et Viaggi, and has been attributed to theprominent Italian mapmaker Giacomo Gastaldi.According to Burden, it is “the first printedAmerican map to include any of the names from thetravels of Francisco Vasquez de Coronado,”and details Coronado’s exploration of theSouthwest including Quivira, Cicuich, Axa,Cucho and Tiguas. Gastaldi also uses infor-mation on the Sierra Nevadas fromCabrillo’s important exploration of theCalifornia Coast. Referring to the use ofthese names, Wheat wrote: “This earliestcartographic reflection was an advance ofthe first importance, so far as the mappingof the American West is concerned.” Aremarkable map, especially when one con-siders it was executed little more than sixtyyears after the discovery of the Americancontinent. The first woodblock for this mapwas made in 1556 and destroyed in a firethe following year at the printing house ofThomaso Guinti. This example is the sec-ond state of the second block, printed c.1606from a block carved in 1565, and is identicalto the first edition in geography. ref:Burden, The Mapping of North America, #24,block 2, state 2.

14” x 19”. Third plate. Full Original color. Excellentcondition. $9,500.

Ortelius’ landmark map of the Western Hemisphere,first published in 1570, was the first map of theAmericas to appear in a modern atlas. When thismap was issued, the coastal areas of the New Worldhad been fairly well explored, and Europeans werejust beginning settlement and colonization. At thiscritical historical juncture, it was Ortelius' map thatwas most responsible for providing Europeans withtheir best cartographic guide to the Americas. Atotal of three plates were engraved for the map of theWestern Hemisphere, and this is an example of thefirst state of the third plate of the map, first printedin 1587. Earlier plates were made in 1570 and 1579.The most significant change from the earlier editionsof Ortelius’ map is the correction of the bulged shapeof South America, and other changes include theaddition of the Solomon Islands and new nomencla-ture on the west coast of North America. Burdennotes that “this is also the only one of the three[plates] with his imprint, where he states he was itsauthor.” Latin text edition. ref: Burden, The Mappingof North America, #64, state 1; Schwartz & Ehrenberg,The Mapping of America, p. 69.

Separately published. This is the Jansson edition ofHondius’s extremely rare map of the WesternHemisphere with decorative borders. Only three

examples of the original Hondiusedition of the map are known, andthis edition by Jansson is extreme-ly rare in its own right. Burdennotes that “only four knownexamples of Janssonius’ atlas sur-vive; they contain the map in itssecond state. It was includedagain in the 1631 edition, which isknown by only one example.”The large chip in the plate at theupper right first appeared c.1630,and this is the third state of themap as defined by Burden,appearing c.1632. ref: Burden, TheMapping of North America, #207,state 3; Tooley’s, The Mapping ofAmerica, pl. 170, p. 297.

“One of the most important maps thatappeared in the Ortelius atlases, thiswas the first printed map to be devotedto the Pacific Ocean, the discovery ofwhich is remembered by the depiction,with legend, of Ferdinand Magellan’sship The Victoria” -- Burden. Asidefrom Mercator’s map of 1538, it is thefirst printed map to separately nameNorth and South America, and the useof these names continued regularlyfrom this point. Ortelius’ map of the Pacific is alsothe first to introduce the Rio Grande, giving anentirely new shape to the head of the Gulf ofCalifornia. Japan and the Philippines are more cor-rectly mapped in relationship to mainland Asia.“One of the most striking and popular of the maps inOrtelius’ Theatrum” -- Goss. ref: Burden, TheMapping of North America, #74; Goss, The Mapping ofNorth America, #14.

For a long period this map was thought tobe the first record of Bering's second expe-dition, which definitively established theseparation of America and Asia. Althoughthe printed date 1746 appears on the map,an example has recently been discoveredwith the same 1746 date but without theinformation about Bering’s voyage, sug-gesting that Bering’s voyage was added tothe map at a later date. The map remainsan early depiction of the journey, and onewhere the vague outlines of Alaska and theAmerican Northwest are beginning to

emerge. There is no reference available publishedafter the discovery of the earlier edition, but seeWroth for a description of the map when it wasthought to be the earliest record of Bering’s secondvoyage. ref: Wroth, Cartography of the Pacific, #92.

Significant advances in the mapping of theMississippi Valley and Gulf of Mexico were madeduring the first two decades of the eighteenth centu-ry. The French cartographers Nicolas De Fer andGuillaume De L’Isle led the way, and the mostimportant early map of the area was a 1701 manu-script entitled Carte des Environs du Mississipi. Thismap was executed by De L’Isle but published by hisfamous competitor Nicolas De Fer. The printed DeFer map is the work being offered here. In its 1701incarnation, the map revealed for the first time theimportance of the Missouri River and gave the mostaccurate mapping of the Mississippi Valley up tothat time. As Ralph Ehrenberg has pointed out, thedifficult Missouri Valley “is delineated for the firsttime in its more familiar alignment, curving in anorthwesterly direction as far north as present daySioux City.” This valley had been little explored andDe L’Isle was less certain about it than the

Mississippi Valley which hehad learned about from a mapby Father Gabriel Marest, aJesuit who had established asettlement there. The De L’Isleand De Fer maps cover a vastgeographical area extendingfrom Lake Erie to NewMexico. One of its notable fea-tures is the delineation of theCarolina trading path fromCharlestown to la Mobile Rand west to the intersection ofthe Arkansas River with theMississippi River. In addition,it includes considerabledetails about Indian settle-ments along the Red Riverand Upper Rio Grande. Anextremely rare first edition ofthe De Fer map was publishedin 1715, this edition appearedin 1718. ref: Cumming, TheSoutheast In Early Maps, #139& #169.

Information from the expedi-tions of Hernando de Soto, Henride Tonty, Louis de St. Denis are included. Details from such other explorers as Bourdon and Bourgnaud are alsoused, and De L'Isle produced a new layout of the Missouri River using notes provided by Etienne Veniard deBourgnaud.

This is the first issue of a rare two sheet map produced by Gerard Van Keulen, hydrographer ofthe Dutch East India Company and heir to the powerful publishing company founded by hisfather Johannes. Gerard Van Keulen died prematurely at age 49 in 1728 and was considered to bethe most talented member of his family. This is the only land map issued by the firm of VanKeulen, who produced some of the most important sea charts of the seventeenth and eighteenthcenturies. Ambitious in both scope and detail, the map encompasses more territory than tradi-tional French maps of Canada, extending west through New Mexico, where French claims extendto the Rio Grande. Legends record information on settlements, forts, Indian tribes, and routes andtrails used in exploration. There are two large inset maps showing the Louisiana Gulf coast andthe mouth of the Mississippi River. Only eight British colonies are indicated. Information fromDe Fer and De l’Isle on the Great Lakes and Mississippi has been refined and recorded here inmore elaborate detail. ref: Koeman, Atlantes Neerlandici, Vol. IV, p. 387.

Sanson's Canada is the first large scale rela-tively correct delineation of the Great Lakesby the same cartographer who first showedthe five lakes on a single map. It is the ear-liest French map to focus on the Northeast,and reveals the colonist's growing knowl-edge of the American interior. Followingthe death of Champlain, the mantle ofFrench exploration in Canada was taken upby Jesuits who pushed the boundaries ofknowledge ever westward. The Jesuitswere prolific writers, and their documents

provided Sanson with much of the information heused on this landmark map. The map is an improve-ment over Sanson's L'Amerique Septentrionale of 1650in many ways, most notably with the transformationof Lake Erie into a recognizeable lake. The entiredrainage basin of the Great Lakes and St. LawrenceRiver is in greater detail than on his previous map, asis the Hudson Bay. "This delineation would consid-erably influence the cartography of the region forover 100 years, it was not superceded untilGuillaume De L'Isle's Carte du Canada in 1703" --Burden. A true foundation map in the cartographyof North America. ref: Burden, The Mapping of NorthAmerica, #318.

Second edition, with improvements. In1745, Jacques Bellin published thisimportant map of New France, which,along with his map of the Great Lakes,"constituted the first new material per-taining to New France to appear sincethe maps of Guillaume De L'Isle threedecades earlier" -- The Map Collector. Thisis the second state of the Bellin map andrepresents the most up-to-date and com-prehensive knowledge of the Frenchbefore the fall of New France. Kershawnotes "there has been considerablereworking to the bottom third of themap." Lakes Erie and Ontario have beenrepositioned and reconfigured. Also, theearlier foreshortening of Pennsylvania and NewYork, taken from the Cadwalader Colden map, hasbeen corrected. Still, the size of the lower peninsulaof Michigan is comparatively outsized. The OhioRiver valley has been redrawn to include tributaries.Lake Superior remains with the fictitious islandsintact. The popularity of Bellin's outlines is demon-strated by the widespead copying of the map byother mapmakers to the end of the 18th century. Of

particular significance, Bellin's map was one of theprimary models for John Mitchell's landmark workof 1755. ref: Kershaw, Early Printed Maps of Canada,#949, plate 714; The Map Collector, “The FrenchMapping of North America, 1600-1760” by ConradHeidenreich and Edward Dahl, Issue 19, June 1982.

The first separate map of Florida and theSoutheast. “One of the half-dozen mostimportant mother maps of southeasternNorth America. This map probably hadmore influence than any other map in estab-lishing the subsequent conception of Floridaas including that part of the present UnitedStates from the peninsula of Florida north-ward to or beyond the Mississippi” --Cumming. The two other maps on the sheetare also important, as they are among only afew maps of Spanish origin to have beenprinted in the sixteenth century. These

maps depict the centers of Spanish activity in theNew World and of the gold trade in particular, and itis astonishing that the Spanish would have allowedthis information to be disseminated. Ortelius’ sourcefor the maps was probably Geronimo Chaves him-self, Spanish Hydrographer to the King. ref:Cumming, The Southeast in Early Maps, #5; Burden, TheMapping of North America, #57.

“One of the most beautifully executed maps ever ofthe southeast” -- Cumming. The Mercator/Hondiussurpassed all previous maps of the southeast andexerted a strong influence on the map-ping of the area for nearly one hun-dred and fifty years. Although basedon two earlier maps, the White (1590)and the Le Moyne (1591), Hondiusmade several important changes mak-ing this “the most important type mapof the region... and its influence, bothdirect and indirect, extends into themiddle of the eighteenth century” --Cumming. The position of the largelake that feeds the River May differsfrom the Le Moyne. In changing theriver’s flow to a southeasterly direc-tion, Hondius erroneously straight-ened the bend in that river. His depic-tion of the lake in the Apalatchy moun-tains was accepted by subsequentexplorers and cartographers. ref:Cumming, The Southeast in Early Maps,#26; Burden, The Mapping of NorthAmerica, #151.

Originally prepared in 1618 by JodocusHondius Jr., this map of the Chesapeakewas the first and most important deriva-tive of John Smith’s landmark 1612 map ofthe region. Burden notes that “throughthe purchase of this plate by Willem Jansz.Blaeu in 1629 and its subsequent extensivepublication for forty-two years, word ofthe English in Virginia became knownthroughout Europe.” The original 1618Hondius edition was issued as a separatepublication and is extremely rare. Takenfrom the first state of the Smith, “the mapis larger than its prototype and is a somewhat finerengraving” -- Tooley. After purchasing the Hondiusplate, Blaeu changed the inscription to read Ex offici-na Guiljelmi Blaeuw but left the rest untouched. Thisdelineation remained the prototype for the regionuntil the publication of Augustine Herrman’sfamous four-sheet map in 1673. ref: Burden, TheMapping of North America, #193, state 2; Tooley, TheMapping of America, pp. 161-162, pl. #69.

Virginia includes much updated infor-mation, such as the settlement by theIrish at Newport News and Jamestownupstream on the James River. Of themap's influence, Cumming notes that "itwas closely followed by Jansson's map of1641 and the smaller Montanus 1671;these maps, in turn, influenced otheratlases until the end of the century." ref:Cumming, The Southeast In Early Maps,#41; Burden, The Mapping of NorthAmerica, #253.

This is John Speed’s version of the famousLords Proprietors’ Map of Carolina, firstpublished by John Ogilby in 1672. “In 1663Charles II rewarded eight courtiers whohad supported his return to the throne bygiving them, with great generosity in landsthat he did not own in the first place, all theregion between Virginia and Florida andwestward from the Atlantic to the Pacific”-- Cumming. Although much of the geog-raphy was based on a map given to JohnOgilby by John Locke, the delineation ofthe interior was based on the reports of ayoung German explorer, John Lederer, whohad been sent on an expedition to lookover the Blue Ridge Mountains in hopes of seeing the Pacific Ocean on the other side. Lederer’s account of theregion included some famous geographical vagaries, and many of these misconceptions continued to appear onmaps as late as the middle of the eighteenth century. Unlike Ogilby, Speed gives a full synopsis of Lederer’s expe-dition into Carolina on the verso, and Cumming notes that this map “must have done much to spread the knowl-edge of Lederer’s explorations further than his own pamphlet would have done.” ref: Cumming, The Southeast inEarly Maps, #77; Cumming, British Maps of Colonial America, pp. 3-4.

The following two maps of Virginia and theSoutheast were published in Montanus’ Amerika,perhaps the greatest illustrated book on the NewWorld produced in the 17th century. Montanus’work contained over one hundred beautifullyengraved plates, views and maps of North andSouth America.

It has never been certain exactly whenGeorge Henri Victor Collot’s famousatlas of America was printed. Themaps are not dated but most historiansthink that they were printed around1804. The atlas itself was not publisheduntil 1826 when a mere 400 exampleswere issued (300 in French and 100 inEnglish). The map being offered herehas a date of 1796 within the cartoucheand, as far as we can determine, is theonly dated Collot map known. Thisdate was part of the original printing

and not a later addition to the map. It appears to bethe date of publication but probably refers to theyear of Collot’s travels. The discovery of this uniqueissue of the Country of the Illinois raises questionsabouth the early history of a group of maps “unsur-passed in beauty and accuracy.” Anticipating thereacquisition of Louisiana from Spain, France sentCollot to America in 1796 to gather intelligenceabout the western part of the continent. His surveywas the most precise of the western interior up tothat time and the maps depict “vividly the wilder-ness that this country was at the time of his journey”-- Wagner-Camp. This map of the Mississippi delin-eates the river from Ste. Genevieve, Missouri

Potter calls this map “one of the most spec-tacular maps of any part of the world fromthe [Age of Discovery].” It has great signifi-cance as the first map to show all four ofColumbus’s voyages. It is also among theearliest separate delineations of Florida andnorthern South America, and one of the fewmaps of the period to concentrate on theWest Indies. The islands of the Caribbeanappear disproportionately large on the map,with the Bahaman islands of Bahama andLvcaya placed too far north. There is also anearly reference to the Gulf Stream. The mapwas executed from the charts of the Italianexplorer Giralomo Benzoni, who travelled in

the New World for over fourteen years between 1541and 1556. Although the Florida peninsula retains theshape of Le Moyne’s earlier map of 1591, Benzoni’stravels actually pre-date the French expeditions inthe area.

ful early maps of the island and is decorated with asplendid cartouche of Neptune astride the RoyalArms. ref: Palmer, Printed Maps of Bermuda, p. 8-9.

The following series of small maps wereengraved for the expanded edition of Moll’s AtlasMinor in 1729, which Moll himself described as fol-lows: “the curious will find several valuable pieces,particularly in America, new and never engravenbefore, taken from the original draughts, communi-cated to me by persons of note... The first meridianin all these maps is taken from London, which wasnever done before in any small set.”

Herman Moll was an engraver, geographerand bookseller of Dutch origin who settled inEngland in 1678. He engraved maps for a number ofcartographers, including Moses Pitt and Philip Lea,before publishing his first atlas in 1710 - a large scalework which contained some of the most famouseighteenth century maps of America, including the“Beaver” and “Cod-Fishery” maps, named for theirdecorative cartouches.

This small map of New Caledonia is one of the fewmaps to show the short-lived Scottish settlement ofNew Edinburgh in along the Isthmus of Darien inCentral America. The strategic importance of theIsthmus had been evident since the sixteenth centu-ry, but Scotsman William Paterson seems to havebeen the first to propose an entrepot on the sitethrough which goods could be exchanged betweenthe Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Twelve hundredScots landed in Panama in October 1698. By the timethe second mission from Scotland arrived in 1699 thesettlement had been deserted. In addition to starva-tion and disease, the Scots were engaged in a fiercebattle with Spain over Darien, who had the full sup-port of the British Crown behind them. Despitethese odds, the Scots made one final and aggressiveattempt to claim the area by routing the Spanishencampment at Toubacanti. The action enraged theSpaniards who sought rapid military revenge. Aftertwo weeks under attack by the Spanish, the Scotscapitulated and left Darien for good in April 1700.Moll’s map shows New Edinburgh prominently. ref:Armitage, JCB: Scotland and the Americas, pp. 3-13;Phillips, Atlases, 574, #53.

It incorpo-rates the additions to the originalGastaldi map of 1561 made byPaolo Forlani in 1565. This con-sists of a small printed stripwhich include the PhilippineIslands. Most examples of theGastaldi do not have Forlani’sstrip as it was published severalyears after the original. For thegeography and topography,Gastaldi relied heavily on the reports of Marco Polo.He also made use of information derived fromMagellan’s voyage, especially in the East Indies. “Asregards the outlines of the coasts they are superior toall previous maps of Asia known, either drawn byhand or printed” -- Nordenskiold. The map extendsfrom India to Japan; from China in the north to theEast India Islands. Gastaldi’s three-part map of Asiais the most significant of the continent of the centu-ry. The third part is the largest and most impressiveof the three separately issued parts. Complete copiesof the Gastaldi/Olgiato are recorded in only twolibraries. ref: Karrow, Mapmakers of the SixteenthCentury, 30/92.1, p. 240; Nordenskiold, Periplus, pp.160-1; Suarez, Early Mapping of Southeast Asia, pp. 130-7 (this example is pictured on pp. 136-7); Tooley, Maps inItalian Atlases, Imago Mundi III, #62.

Rare. De Jode’s general maps are sought afterbecause of their rarity, beauty and large scale. Only

one atlas was published by the DeJode family; the Speculum OrbisTerrarum was issued by Gerard DeJode in 1578, and then re-issued byhis son Cornelis in 1593. The atlaswas a financial disaster and no othereditions were ever published.Consequently, all maps by De Jodeare quite rare. This map of Asia isparticularly rare because it appearsonly in the scarce first edition of theSpeculum. De Jode describes thismap as a new delineation, as heextended the map westward fromOrtelius’ model to include Persia andArabia. This is one of the earliestworks to delineate the NorthwestCoast of America. ref: Koeman,Atlantes Neerlandici, Jod 1, #4; Allen,Atlas of Atlases, p. 49.
