TWO VOLUMES OF NAVIGANTIUM ATQUE ITINERANTIUM BIBLIOTHECA HARRIS, John (English c. 1666-1719) Navigantium Atque Itinerantium Bibliotheca, Or A Complete Collection of Voyages and Travels., London: T. Woodard, A. Ward, S. Birt, D. Brown (et al.), 1744-1748. Large folio (417 x 267 mm) each volume. 984 pages (volume I); 1056 pages (volume II). Second edition.

Royal privilege as frontispiece in volume one, engraved frontispiece in volume two. Containing 61 full-plate engravings, 39 of which featuring panoramas and landscape views, scenes from the life of locals depicting their customs and traditions; and 22 maps, most of them folding.LOT NOTESThis highly regarded work contains the first separate map of Australia, and one of the first maps of Georgia and the southeast United States-, along with valuable cartography on the Northwest Passage, North and South America, the Arctic regions, and more. It is the second edition, regarded as the best, notably by Hill who commented "This revised edition is the one collectors should seek. It is so expanded compared with the first edition that it is almost a new work." Particularly valuable is the inclusion of a printing of Tasman`s original map and two short articles printed on the map. One discusses Quiro`s voyage, while the other speculates about the possibility of the Australian continent being colonized. To the original extensive collection are added accounts of voyages completed since the first publication: Christopher Middleton to Hudson`s Bay in 1741-42; Bering to the Northeast in 1725-26; Woodes Rogers`s circumnavigation in 1708-11; Clipperton and Shelvocke`s circumnavigation, 1719-22; Roggeveen to the Pacific, 1721-33; and the various travels of Lord Anson, 1740-44. Rearranged to reflect the new English interest in the Pacific.PLEASE NOTEIf you will be bidding live on auction day, please note that Session I of the Auction (Asian and Russian Fine & Decorative Art), starts at 10:00 AM New York Time and goes from Lot 1 through Lot 254.
