Aleppo. London, c.1702, engraving, 295 x 1030mm. Narrow left margin, strong impression. A good example.
A fine panoramic print of the city of Aleppo in Syria.

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.

Londinium Antiqua. This Plan shews the ancient extent of the famous cities of London and Westminster as it was near the begining of the Reign of Queen Elizabeth... London, George Vertue, 1737. Eight sheets printed from pewter plates, each c. 355 x 480mm.
Three examples of an anonymous woodcut map of London c.1570 exist, all now in institutions. Vertue, an antiquarian and publisher, saw an example in the possession of Sir Hans Sloane, and produced this facsimile in 1737. It was Vertue who first attributed it to Agas, a land surveyor. Agas published a map of Oxford that mentioned a companion map of London: this was enough evidence for Vertue to assign the map to Agas, an attribition that still survives. The style is much the same as Braun & Hogenberg, with the buildings shown in profile, and many of the details are shared. It is likely that that both were based on a common source, as the Agas extends further north and shows St Paul's Cathedral without the spire. London Bridge has buildings on it, and The Globe and the Bull-Baiting Ring can be seen on the south bank of the river. The Royal Arms top left are those of James I, 1603-1625, but it is believed that these are a later addition to the woodblock Vertue copied. HOWGEGO: 8, and the introduction pp.7 - 8.		 £3,800
