America Septentrionalis... (North America)
|
This is a striking map of the new world, with bold hand color and some very notable qualities. Showing the colonial possesions of several nations, we see the Spanish developments in the southwest, French territories throughout Canada and the western Mississippi valley, as well as the British colonies. With suprisingly accurate depictions of rivers and coasts, this map provides a reasonably proportionate image of an expansive land. Borders are well distinguished by color, yet there are hints of expansion as the borders of the southern colonies not only extend to the Mississippi, but continue beyond into the French Louisiana territory. The map is well complimented by a large decorative cartouche showing Native American and a European settler. This is a classicly handsome map in very good condition.

America Serptentrionalis
|
This is a breathtaking colonial map of the US, with definite historic and aesthetic appeal. There is so much to note about this map that is hard to begin. Aside from the exhaustive text (in German) that surrounds the map, there abound numerous historic notations on the map itself, as it shows us the bounds of the "Treaty of Utrecht", "The Limits of New England by charter 1620" and others. Unique borders are found for numerous states such as New York, here shown stretching over the Great Lakes into present day Michigan. Likewise North Carolina, here spans across the its present borders and proceeds across the Mississippi River. Other uncommon boundaries are found for South Carolina, Florida, Virginia and more. Frontier forts, Indian tribes and settlements are shown. Numerous other desirable cartographic oddities appear such as the fictitious islands of Superior, Earl Granvilles property, amongst others.

Cambri=Ae Typus Auc Sore Humfe Do Lhu=Ydo (BRITISH ISLES, WALES)
|
Art Source International is proud to offer rare maps from the atlas produced in 1633 by one of the dominant map-making houses of the 30's. Although it is somewhat unclear which maps were published cooperatively between Henricus Hondius and Joannes Jassonius and which were individual works, this map illustrating Wales appears to be from the French atlas "L"Appendix". The atlas that this map is attributed to was first published in 1633 by Hondius and Jassonius and contained individual works by each map-maker, some derived from Henricus's brother Jodocus" plates, and a number of maps by Mercator that Hondius acquired from his father -also Jodocus.
Beautiful hand coloring highlights rivers, coast lines, and the boundaries of regions. Two ships and sea monsters accent the ocean, and forests and mountain ranges are colored on the land.

|
This map was made by Robert de Vaugondy for an ENCYCLOPEDIE by Denis Diderot.
This map has exceptionally wide margins, and bright hand coloring. Diderot's maps were intended to further an understanding of the Western Coast of America, and NE Asia, during a time period immediately prior to Cook's first voyage where numerous theories abounded on these regions, especially the NW Coast of America. This original copper plate engraving is in excellent condition. The map shows the northern part of Siberia and the coast of Asia and appears to be a companion of maps #1. Four maps are inset showing details of the Alaska Japan area.

This map is from the great master whose work is coveted and sought after for its highest quality and exemplar craftsmanship.

This map, done by the Dutch master, has his characteristic quality, clarity and fine detailing. Here depicting the "County of Mansfield" in Germany, we see towns, rivers, topography, and even groves of trees. Condition very good.
