Tokyo, Japan ([Japanese Map of Tokyo]), Anon., ca. 1890. 20.3 x 28.5”. (HC) This impressive and highly detailed map of Tokyo displays roads, docks and waterways. It is surrounded by 33 scenes of important buildings and places around the Imperial city. Includes an inset and numerous tables. Japanese maps from the Meiji period incorporate western cartographic elements, such as the large compass rose, into the traditional Japanese cartographic style. The map was produced for the Japanese market with names and descriptions in Japanese characters. There are a few fold separations, a number of small wormholes in the image, and bleed-through of color on verso. Missing its protective covers. (B)

Southeast Asia (Indiae Orientalis Nova Descriptio), Jansson, Amsterdam, ca. 1633. 20 x 15.5”. (HC) Decorative chart of the region including Indochina, the Philippines and the East Indies. Includes the new discoveries in New Guinea made by the Dutch "Duyfkens" exploration. The map is embellished with rhumb lines, sailing ships, sea monsters, compass roses and three cartouches.

Southeast Asia (India quae Orientalis dicitur, et Insulae Adiacentes), Blaeu, Amsterdam, ca. 1635. 19.8 x 16.2”. (HC) This handsome chart of Southeast Asia includes one of the most detailed images of the sphere of operations of the trading empire of the Dutch East India Company. It extends from India to New Guinea and parts of northern Australia, and north to the southern coast of Japan with a portion of Korea, which is named as an island. This map was a vast improvement over Blaeu`s map of the Asian continent and was presented on Mercator`s projection in the style of navigational charts. Significantly, it delineates a more correct outline of New Guinea and is the first atlas map to include the discoveries made by the Dutch in the Gulf of Carpentaria -- thus the first recorded European contacts with Australia. Richly embellished with sailing ships, compass roses and three sumptuous cartouches. The cartouche at lower left features the coat of arms and dedication to Laurens Real, Governor General of the East Indies, 1616-18. French text on verso. Ref: Suarez (SEA) p. 201; MCC-60 Tooley (Australia) no.226. Attractive color with a few minor spots, professionally repaired centerfold separations, and marginal soiling. (+B)

Madagascar (Isle d`Auphine, Communement Nommee par les Europeens Madagascar, et St. Laurens, et par les Habitans du Pays Madecase), Sanson, Paris, 1697. 17.5 x 23”. (BW) This is a splendid, large-scale map of Madagascar and the surrounding islands in the Indian Ocean off the southeast coast of Africa. The map is filled with detail along the coasts and is decorated with an unusual compass rose, sailing ship and a figurative cartouche with native inhabitants. The map is based on the report from two early French accounts of the islands; Etienne de Flacourt, a French governor of Madagascar in 1648 and Francois Cauche, who voyaged to Madagascar in 1638. Extended margins and backed with old linen. The map is detached at corners from the extended margins, and the linen is also detached at the corners. There are a few small spots and light creasing throughout, and light damp stains in corners. (+C)

Northwest Africa (Barbariae et Guineae Maritimi a Freto Gibraltar ad Fluvium Gambiae cum Insulis Salfis Flandricis et Canaricis), Renard/De Wit, Amsterdam, ca. 1715. 22 x 19”. (HC) This decorative sea chart of the Barbary and Guinea coasts extends to include part of the coastline of Portugal and Spain. Two compass roses orient north to the left, and there is good detail of the Azores, Madeira, Canary, and Cape Verde Islands. Additional detail is confined to the coasts with numerous place names. The interior of Africa is filled with a decorative title cartouche depicting fat-tailed sheep, a lizard, and snakes in the foreground, with African pirates, merchants and slave-traders. The man at front right holds a scimitar in one hand and a decapitated head in the other hand. The map is further embellished by several sailing vessels, while others are engaged in battle. This is the Renard edition of the map that was first published by Frederick de Wit, circa 1675. Ref: cf Norwich no.252. There is some minor toning and small worm holes and tracks (primarily along centerfold) that have been professionally infilled, with a small amount of image in facsimile. (+B)

Southern Africa ([Lot of 2] Typus Orarum Maritimarum Guinea… [and] Delineatio Orarum Maritimarum…), Linschoten/Langren, Itinerario…, Amsterdam, ca. 1596. 21 x 15.5”. (HC) This matched pair of maps of the western and eastern coasts of Africa are two of the most richly ornamented maps in early cartography, superbly engraved in the Flemish style by Arnold Florent van Langren. The cartouches contain descriptions of the region in both Latin and Dutch that credit the source as "the very best Indian maps" - referring to maps that Linschoten had access to when he was Secretary to the Portuguese Archbishop of Goa in India. The western map covers the southwestern coast of Africa from the Gulf of Guinea to just beyond the Cape of Good Hope with excellent detail along the coastline. The fictitious cities of Vigiti Magna and Monomotapa are located and most place names and geographical features have Portuguese nomenclature. The mainland is embellished with snakes, an elephant, a rhinoceros, a lion and a pair of sirens in Lake Zaire. The balance of the sheet is filled with fabulous cartouches, the Portuguese arms, elaborate compass roses, sailing ships and a sea monster. The large bottom cartouche encloses views of Ascension and St. Helena Islands; important refueling ports in the route around Africa. The eastern map extends from R. do Infante to Doara, and includes Madagascar and the tip of the island of Ceylon. Typical geographical features of the time are shown, such as the Lunae Montes (Mountains of the Moon), and Zaflan Lacus depicted as one of the sources of the Nile River. The extensive coastal details are likely sourced from Portuguese portolan charts, especially those of Bartolomeu Lasso. The map is richly adorned with the Christian emperor Prestor John, elephants, and lions inhabiting Africa, as well as ships, sea monsters and elegant compass roses filling the Indian Ocean. Ref: Norwich no.239a & no.239b; Tooley (MCC-29) no.167 & no.168; Tooley et al [Landmarks] pp. 168-69. Issued folding on watermarked paper with expert repairs to several fold separations and a couple of minute worm holes. On the western map there are 1" and 2.5" tears at left that have been professionally repaired. On the eastern map there is a 1" tear at left that has also been skillfully repaired. (+B)

Robert Ballagh (b.1943) DOLLY MIXTURES 9, 1971 mixed media with collage signed in pencil on reverse; with typed David Hendriks Gallery exhibition label on reverse; with Compass Gallery, Glasgow, exhibition label on reverse; also with Gorry Gallery exhibition label on reverse 13.25 by 19in. (33.66 by 48.26cm) Provenance: David Hendriks Gallery, Dublin; Private collection; Exhibited: David Hendriks Gallery, Dublin, 1971; `Three-man Show (Cecil King, Patrick Collins & Robert Ballagh), Compass Gallery, Glasgow, until November 1971; `Robert Ballagh Works from the Studio 1959-2006`, Gorry Gallery, Dublin, in association with Damien Matthews Fine Art, 20 September - 5 October 2006, catalogue no. 20 Literature: The Gorry Gallery in association with Damien Matthews Fine Art, Robert Ballagh Works from the Studio 1959-2006, Damien Matthews Fine Art Publications, 2006, p. 40 (illustrated) Tea Cakes and Dolly Mixtures were part of a series commenting on mass culture and popular taste, using very sweet subject matter. Other subject from 1971 included gob stoppers, liquorice comfits, iced caramels, chocolate beans and liquorice allsorts, all painted as literal examples of monumental contemporary kitsch against patterned backgrounds. Although these works may now appear to have a `retro style`, at the time they were quite shocking in their vulgarity, using as they did materials not yet appreciated for their kitsch qualities. The quite hallucinatory intensity with which Ballagh has portrayed his sweet subject is both amusing and disquieting. From Robert Ballagh Works from the Studio 1959-2006, p.39 (£1,620-£2,430 approx)
