LOW COUNTRIES -- DELFT -- "AFBEELDING der Stad Delft" (also called: "Kaart figuratief van Delft"). Amst., P. Smith, n.d. (1703). Engr. wall plan of Delft, consisting of 28 parts, including the city plan printed on 4 conjoined sheets. The city plan is framed, glazed and under passepartout, the other prints loose as issued. (Partly browned/discold., partly w. traces of previous framing, plan & perspective view laid down on cardboard). NOTE: Dirck Evertsz. van Bleyswijck (1639-1681), was commissioned in 1675 to have a map made with accompanying images of buildings and cityscapes. Only 1 copy of the first edition from 1678 seems to have survived, now in the municipal archive of Delft. Of this second edition only 200 copies were made. The map consists of a city plan, a bird's eye view of Delft, Delfshaven seen from the Maas on top of four family crests of Delft mayors, 22 images of buildings, two maps of Overschie and Delfshaven, and finally a short text with a description of the city of Delft. This plan together with the border prints can be put together to form a monumental wall map of almost four square meters! The map's measurements were taken by surveyor Jacob Spoors, (1595–1677), who would become a particularly important individual in Johannes Vermeer’s network of friends and colleagues interested in exploring the natural world through art, science, mathematics, and optical devices. Johannes de Ram was engaged to engrave the map with five fine cartouches by Romeyn de Hooghe; Coenraet Decker engraved the surrounding pictorial panels.

NOTE: First unabridged edition in English of "one of the most important scientific expeditions ever undertaken to the Pacific and west coast of North America", this edition "usually considered to be the best one in English... now an extremely rare work" (Hill), preceded only by two abridged translations of 1798, following initial publication in French in 1797. The atlas volume contains magnificent maps of Russian Asia, Japan, the Pacific north-west coast, San Francisco, Monterey, and also Necker Island. The most significant results of La Pérouse's voyage are the charts of the then imperfectly known Asiatic side of the Pacific. The details of "the peculiarities he observed in the natives of the northwest coast of North America, are especially valuable" (Sabin). The abridged English editions which preceded this contained fewer plates and have long been recognized as less desirable; this edition contains copies of all the 69 plates in the French original. - Beautiful complete and clean set.

NOTE: Het Groote Tafereel der Dwaasheid (The Great Mirror of Folly) pertains to the speculative period of the "bubbles" in 1720 which bursted at about the same time: the 'South Sea Bubble', named after the British South Sea Company, lasted from January to September, 1720; the 'Mississippi Bubble', after the Mississippi Company in France, had begun in 1719 and the 'Dutch bubble' started in March 1720 and derived from the other two bubbles.
