[A Striking Wall Map of the Americas] CHÂTELAIN, Henri Abraham.    
Carte très curieuse de la Mer du Sud, contenant des Remarques Nouvelles ...Amsterdam, 1719. Four sheets conjoined, total 830 x 1410mm. Excellent impression, fine condition.
A huge map of the western hemisphere, centred on the Americas but showing the coasts of Western Europe & Africa on the right, China & Japan on the left, with the partial outlines of Australia & New Zealand. California is shown as an island, but the north of the island has lighter shading to suggest doubt, as has the western half of the Terra del Fuego. Jesso and Campanies Land are also shown, but two large vignettes of beavers cover the gap between Asia and America. Other vignettes include portaits of the most important explorers; plans of Panama, Acapulco, Mexico City & Havana; depictions of mining, panning for gold, sugar milling, a cod fishery and human sacrifice. GOSS: Mapping of North America 52, "a veritable pictorial encyclopaedia of the western hemisphere".

Nova Reperta. Antwerp, Philip Galle, c.1600. 205 x 270mm. Laid on album paper.
The titlepage to a series of 24 old master engravings depicting Renaissance discoveries and inventions.

This plate differs from the example in Burden's Mapping of America, lacking the Maltese Cross in the title. Other than this there are no apparent differences; even the signatures of Stradanus and Galle are identical. See BURDEN: 139.		 £1,250

75 [A Handsom Map of the Americas] DANCKERTS, Justus.
Recentissima Novi Orbis Sive Americæ Septentrionalis et Meridionalis Tabula. Amsterdam, 1697. Original colour. 505 x 585mm. Minor restoration at centrefold.

76 [Example with Beautiful Original Colour] HONDIUS, Jodocus II.
America noviter delineata. Auct: Henrico Hondio. 1631. Amsterdam, Henricus Hondius, c.1636. Latin text edition. Original colour. 370 x 490mm. Slight restoration at centrefold.
The Americas, originally one map of a separate-issue set of world and continents with decorative borders, first published 1618. The elder son of Jodocus Hondius snr, Jodocus II originally worked in the family firm with his brother Henricus, but left to found his own business. After his death in 1629 many of his plates were sold by his widow to Blaeu, much to the annoyance of Henricus, but this plate stayed in the family. In 1631 Henricus put his own name on the plate and added this date: it is likely that it was at this time that the decorative borders were trimmed off to make the map fit the standard atlas format, although its first appearance in an atlas was two years later. BURDEN: 192, state 3 of 5.		 £2,450

77 [Classic 'Carte à Figures' Map.] BLAEU, Willem Janszoon.
Americæ nova Tabula. Amsterdam, c.1665, Dutch text. Original colour. 415 x 560mm. A very fine example.
One of the most famous maps of the Americas, the 'carte à figures' with 10 costume vignettes down the sides and nine city prospects along the top. Originally published separately in 1617, the extremely rare first state did not show Cape Horn. Within a year Jacob le Maire returned from his trip around the Cape and his new information was added to the plate. A second change was implemented in 1621 when Willem Janszoon added the 'Blaeu' to his name to distance himself from his arch-rival Jan Janszoon, so his new name was added under the title. Two more states, both just minor embellishments, appeared in the 1640s. The plate was destroyed in the fire at the Blaeu printing works in 1672. BURDEN: 189, state IV of V.		 £6,500

The Americas with California as an island, published in the 'Atlas nouveau et curieux des plus celebres itineraires'. An unusual feature of this atlas is the frame-like border added to each map from a separate printing plate. This is often cited as evidence that publishers knew the decorative value of their maps. McLAUGHLIN: 168, state 3. 		£750

81 [One of the Earliest Vaugondy map of the Americas] ROBERT DE VAUGONDY, Didier.
L'Amérique... Paris, 1740. Original colour. 490 x 645mm. Binding folds flattened.
One of Robert's earliest publications, issued less than a decade after he inherited the printing equipment and stock of Pierre Moulard-Sanson. Although he had been appointed Geographer to the King in 1734 he is still trading on the Sanson name bt attributing the cartography of this map to him. 		£725

L'America divisa ne' suoi Principali Stati di Nuova Projezione. Venice, 1776. Original outline colour. 320 x 410mm.

88 [A Classic Map, showing California as an Island] HONDIUS, Henricus.
America Septentrionalis. Amsterdam: Heirs of Jan Jansson, 1666, Latin text. Original colour. 470 x 555mm. Small split in bottom centrefold margin.
A highly decorative map of North America, first issued 1636, this is the second state (of three) with Jansson's name in the cartouche lower left. Because of the prominence of the Hondius business this map did more to promote the misconception of California as an island than any other (Speed's map, although published a decade earlier, was only published with an English text). This example was published in the 'Atlas Contractus', a two-volume atlas, published two years after Jansson's death by his son-in-law, Jan Jansson van Waesbergen. McLAUGHLIN: 6; BURDEN: 245, 'beautifully engraved'; KOEMAN: Me 184 & 185.		 £3,500

90 [One of the earliest printed map of America] BORDONE, Benedetto.
Terra de Lavoratore; Norbegia. Venice, c.1534, woodcut set in a page of Italian text, 80 x 145mm.
An rare and early miniature map of North America stretching down to the tip of South America from Bordone's "Isolario". The name given to North America, "Terre de Lavoratore" derives from João Fernandés of the Azores, who landed at Cape Farewell, Greenland in 1500. The name "Stretto Pte del Modo Nuovo" corresponds to the position of the Caribbean. The fictitious islands of Brazil and Asmaide appear alongside the Azores. The Italian text above describes the discovery of America by the Spanish and Portuguese and then goes on to describe the size of the country and the habits and modes of dress of the Indian inhabitants, including their huts covered in fish skin.On the verso is a map of Scandinavia from Denmark up to Greenland, and from Norway over to Lapland, also with an Italian text describing the various lands and their inhabitants. Burden, No 8.		 £1,750

91 [One of the earliest map to concentrate on North America] QUAD, Matthias.

Engraved by  Johannes Bussemacher.  A close copy of Gerard De Jode’s rare map of North America published a few years before. It appeared in Matthias Quad’s  "Geographisch Handtbuch...". Thre is a detailed panel of text below describing the history of the region.  Quad was the most prolific of a small group of mapmakers/publishers active in Cologne at this time; his work shows a unique style and quite different from other prolific Dutch mapmakers of the time. BURDEN: 133		 £2,200

92 [English Colonies in America] MORTIER, Pieter.
Carte Nouvelle de L'Amerique Angloise Contenant La Virginie, Mary-Land, Caroline, Pensylvania Nouvelle Jorck, N.Jarsey N: France , et Les Terres Nouvellement Descouerte... Amsterdam, c.1705. Original colour. 605 x 920mm.
A large and decorative map of North America east of the Mississippi. Untranslated English phrases, like 'Copper Mine' and 'Mines of Iron', point to the map being based on the Morden-Brown map of 1695. Cumming states that it is not ususally found in Sanson/Jaillot atlases, but this example was bound in a Mortier issue of Jaillot's 'Atlas Nouveau'. KOEMAN: Mor 1; CUMMING: 129.		 £2,600

93 JAILLOT, Alexis-Hubert.
Amerique Septentrionale divisée en ses principales parties, ou sont distingués les uns des autres Les Estats suivant qu'ils appartiennebt presentemet aux François, Castillans, Anglois; Suedois, Danois, Hollandois. Amsterdam, Pieter Mortier, c.1705. Original colour. 565 x 870mm.
A large and decorative map of North America, with a large island of California, with Agubela de Gato a peninsula of the mainland; 'Terre de Jesso' fills the north Pacific; and the Great Lakes are open-ended in the west. This map has a complicated history: the heirs of Nicolas Sanson asked Jaillot to redraw Sanson's maps for a larger format atlas. This map is often taken to be a later state, but is in fact a completely new plate, pirated by Mortier. McLAUGHLIN: 55.		 £2,800

94 [Showing D'Iberville's Discoveries in the Gulf of Mexico and the Mississippi] DE L'ISLE, Guillaume.

99 [An important and early woodcut of Labrador and New France] RAMUSIO, Giovanni Battista.
La Nvova Francia. Venice, 1565, woodcut, 2nd State, 270 x 370mm.
This is the second state of this map, first issued in 1556 for the "Terzo Volume Delle Navigationi Et Viaggi" and cut by Matteo Pagano.
This is one of the first maps to depict New England and New France in detail. The cartography of this map is largely derived from the explorations of Verazzano, and references to this voyage can be seen in the river network which probably refers to the explorer's description of the Hudson. The region named "Angoulesme" in the East, corresponds to the upper bay of New York, the coast of "Flora" is supposed to represent the south of Long Island, "Port Real" is Newport Bay and "Port Du Refuge" is Narrangansett Bay.This map is filled with detail representing Native American life and Europeans fishing, as it was the plentiful fish stocks which attracted Europeans to the area. It has been suggested that the long line which runs around the map may be an early depiction of the Gulf Stream. Burden 35; Nordenskiõld p.115

Map of the Pacific north of the equator, showing the routes of the Spanish treasure ships and  Captain Cook's Third Voyage, 1778, completed by Captain Clarke in 1779. It is an important map as it pre-dates the official account: according to the text under the map it is based on one published in the Gentleman's Magazine in December 1780, while the official account was still being compiled. As such it is the first folio map to show Hawaii, where Cook was killed. 		£1,400

102 [Bering Straits] ZATTA, Antonio.

Carte des Nouvelles Découvertes au Nord de la Mer Du Sud, Tant à l'Est de la Sibérie et du Kamtchatka, Qu'à l'Ouest de la Nouvelle France. Venice, Santini & Remondini, 1784. Original outline colour. 470 x 650mm.
Joseph De L'Isle spent much of his career in Russia, producing the 'Atlas Russicus' (the first Russian atlas) with Ivan Kyrilov and founding the 'Academy of Sciences of St Petersburg'. He returned to Paris is 1747 with a large map collection, including (unfortunately for the reputation of French cartography) the manuscript of this map of the north Pacific. In 1750 he presented the map to a public assembly of the French Academy of Sciences. Showing Asia from Korea and the whole of North America, it marks out the supposed discoveries of Admiral de Fonte, including a vast inland sea, the 'Mer de L'Ouest', to the north of California, a waterway stretching from the Pacific almost to Baffin's Bay, and a large landmass in the middle of the Pacific. TOOLEY: French Mapping of America (MCC 33), Item 104.		 £1,200

104 [Lieut. Roberts's Chart of the Bering Straits] ROBERTS, Henry.
Chart of the N.W. Coast of America and the N.E. Coast of Asia, Explored in the Years 1778 and 1779. Prepared by Lieut.t Hen.y Roberts under the immediate Inspection of Capt. Cook. London, William Faden, 1794. Original colour. 430 x 700mm.
Lieut. Roberts was given the task of compiling the surveys taken by Captain Cook on his third voyage, which was to attempt to find the North West Passage from the North Pacific. Having sailed up the American coast they passed through the Bering Straits only to be cornered by ice. Having followed the ice wall from America to Asia they were forced to turn back. Cook sailed to his death on Hawaii (February 1779) after which his crew returned to map the Kamchatka coastline and make another attempt to break through the ice wall. Failing again, they then turned for home, arriving in London in October 1780. Without Cook in overall control the compilers of the official account became antagonistic and split into two factions. This chart of the Bering Straits, already engraved by W.Palmer, was dropped in favour of another version engraved by T.Harmer. However the plate was not destroyed, but passed into the hands of Faden, who put his name on it and issued it from 1784. A proof example was bought by the British Library in 1985. It is also the first published map to show the discoveries of Samuel Herne in Arctic Canada, 1771-2, when he reached the Beaufort Sea. This Second Edition has been extensively revised (according to an engraved note) by De La Rochette, from British, American and Russian sources: the coastlines of both Asia and America are far more defined, with added features including the Queen Charlotte and Aleutian Islands.

It shows from Nova Scotia south to 'C. of Feare', which is, however not Cape Fear but Cape Lookout.

However there had been no new sources of information about this region for many years, so he created an amalgam of the Ortelius/Chaves map of 1584 and the Hondius map of 1606.

In 1750 the Lords Commissioners of Trade and Plantatations ordered that each of the 13 Colonies should produce an accurate survey of their lands. As Fry & Jefferson were already surveying the border between Virginia and North Carolina they were chosen for this assignment. For the first time the interior regions beyond the tidewater were mapped, as was the complete Virginia river system.Completed in 1751, but not published until 1754, their map is now extremely rare, although there is a second edition of 1755, with many amendments. This French version predates the 2nd edition, so it is the earliest example of the Fry & Jefferson survey available to the collector. See CUMMING: 281 for the original. 		£2,000

Sailing up the St Lawrence River in 1534 Jacques Cartier reached the Huron-Iroquois settlement of Hochelaga, in an area he named Mont Real in tribute to the French king Francis 1. He descibed the settlement as about 50 bark-covered longhouses and tells that the Indians welcomed them, squatting in rows before them as if 'we were going to give a play.' Cartier was then called upon to heal the village's sick. Here the central plan is flanked top and bottom by diagrams of the balustrade showing the construction, with woods and cornfields around the village. The name Montreal makes its first appearance on a printed map. This is an example of the second of two blocks, cut in 1565 after the first block was destroyed by a fire in the printing house of Thomaso Guinti after only a year's use.
