Ptolemy/Mercator, 1730 Tab. XII. Asiae, Taprobanam Repraesentans... This is a superb example of this Ptolemaic map of Sri Lanka. Ptolemy drew on the accounts of travelers and sailors and though the information was secondhand and often inaccurate it represented the most advanced account of the world`s geography at that time. This map depicts the island with the typical misconceptions of Ptolemy with the island straddling the Equator and nearly divided by a ridge of mountains. A small part of India is incorrectly shown in the northeast corner of the map. The stipple engraved sea is filled with an oriental ship and two great sea monsters. The handsome map is further embellished with a strapwork title cartouche. 13.6"" W x 13.1"" H Nice impression and color on watermarked paper with minor printer`s ink residue at top.

Only the outlines of the continents are depicted along with a few place names. 23.1"" W x 20.1"" H Issued folding on heavy, watermarked paper with moderate offsetting.

Munster, Sebastian 1540 Africa XVIII Nova Tabula This is one of the first modern maps of the whole continent. The Ptolemaic geography, with large rivers and convoluted mountains, is augmented from Portuguese and Arabic sources. From the Portuguese comes Caput Bonespei (Cape of Good Hope) and a small group of islands off the eastern coast named Zaphala Aurifodina that were supposedly the region from which King Solomon imported gold and silver. The Arab kingdoms of Quiola and Melinde appear in eastern Africa and Hamarich, the capital of the mythical Christian king Prester John, is shown at the confluence of the twin sources of the Nile. The island of Madagascar is strangely absent, even though its presence was known from the time of Marco Polo. The map is illustrated with crowns and scepters, forests, parrots, an elephant, a Cyclops (Monoculi) and a large galleon under full sail. The strapwork cartouche contains a text description of the continent. This is from the first edition, with the Latin title above the map and Latin text on verso. 13.6"" W x 10"" H A bright, clean example with a fine, early impression and wide, original margins. There is just a hint of toning along centerfold and remnants of hinge tape on verso.

Langenes, Barent 1598 Africa This map of Africa is interesting for its strange depiction of the Nile, which originates in a large lake south of the Equator. From this lake three large rivers flow to the seas: the Nile to the Mediterranean, the Congo to the Atlantic and what could be the Zambeze to the Indian Ocean. This map is based on the Gastaldi-Ortelius and Mercator models, although it includes the unique feature of a lake along the Equator into which both the two Ptolemaic lakes flow. The sea is engraved in a moiré pattern, and the map is further decorated with a strapwork title cartouche and three sea monsters, including a sea ""lion."" Though not signed, this map was likely engraved by either Jodocus Hondius or Petrus Kaerius, who engraved the majority of the maps of the Caert-thresoor (Map Treasury). This is the scarce first state without degrees of latitude in the borders, published by Cornelius Claesz and printed by Langenes. Dutch text on verso. 4.9"" W x 3.5"" H There is light soiling, minor show-through of text on verso, and a couple of minute worm holes only visible when held to light.

Quad, Matthias von Kinckelbach 1608 Aphrica Lovely continental map by Johan Bussemacher, an engineer and printer, who collaborated with Quad on this work. The map, largely based on Mercator, is covered with mountains and rivers, but in the south Vigiti Magna and the Rio de Infante are depicted with the absence of Monomotapa. Also in the south, an unnamed lake serves as the source for the major rivers flowing into the Indian Ocean, the Congo (Zaire Rio) flowing into the south Atlantic, and the Nile River. Stipple engraved sea with bold strapwork title cartouche and a panel of text beside the map. 11.7"" W x 8.3"" H A dark impression on watermarked paper with a hint of toning.

Bertius/Tavernier, 1627 Carte de l`Afrique... Although the title cartouche credits Petrus Bertius, this map was created by Melchoir Tavernier, and was derived from Hondius` influential maps from 1619 and 1623 (as was Bertius` map from 1624, hence the attribution). The geography is typical for the 17th century and is filled with spurious rivers, mountains and kingdoms. The map is embellished with a variety of exotic animals in the interior, including elephants, ostriches, lions, and even a dragon. The seas are filled with ships, Neptune with his consort, flying fish, and sea monsters. This map was published by Tavernier as part of a set of the four continents. This is the first state. 19.9"" W x 15"" H A fine impression with superb color on watermarked paper with a few light spots of foxing and a professionally repaired tear that just enters map border at bottom left. Very nearly an ""A"" example.

Wit, Frederick de 1665 Nova Africa Descriptio This is De Wit`s uncommon map of Africa, first published in 1660 in a set of maps of the four continents, each with decorative native figures at the sides and town views above. These were some of the earliest maps by De Wit, and also the last folio-sized maps with decorative borders to be issued in Amsterdam. This map shows views of Cairo (Alcair), Alexandria, Algiers (Alger), Tunis, Tangiers (Tanger), and Ceuta across the top, which are close copies from Jodocus Hondius` map of Africa from 1623. The figures at both sides of the map are nearly identical to those from Van den Keere`s Africa map of 1614, with the exception of the top two (Congensis and Mulier Abissinea). The geography on the map is based on Jodocus Hondius` Africae nova Tabula from 1623, which was copied from Willem Blaeu`s Africae nova Descriptio from 1617, although De Wit omits the engravings of animals in the interior. The Nile is shown according to Ptolemy with its sources arising in the lakes Zaire and Zaflan, the fictitious Lake Sachaf of Laurent Fries appears, as well as the R. de Spirito Santo. De Wit`s map of Africa was issued separately, as well as in composite Dutch atlases. This is the third state, with the addition of a woman and infant in the right-hand shield of the publisher cartouche at bottom. 21.9"" W x 17.3"" H A fine impression on watermarked paper with a few tiny spots in the Atlantic and a professionally repaired centerfold separation that enters 2"" into map at bottom.

Duval, Pierre 1682 Afrique Charming small map of the continent with typical mid-seventeenth century cartography. The Nile rises from large twin lakes below the equator. This is the third state, with the addition of several place names: the island of S. Helene la Nouvelle and Gothar just below the equator in central Africa. Pierre Duval was Nicolas Sanson`s nephew and pupil. He published a wide range of atlases and individual maps including a fine miniature world geography with many of the maps based on Sanson. 4.9"" W x 4.1"" H Attractive color on watermarked paper with light toning along the centerfold.

Sanson, Nicolas 1683 Afrique Attractive and detailed map of Africa that includes the Arabian Peninsula, the Canary and Cape Verde Islands, Madagascar, as well as several other islands and a little of the coastline of Brazil. The Nile originates in two, spurious large lakes just north of the fictional Monts de la Lune. The title is enclosed in a wreath style cartouche. Engraved by Antoine d` Winter. 10.9"" W x 7.8"" H A nice impression with minor soiling and a tiny centerfold separation and chip in top blank margin that have both been professionally repaired.

Sanson/Jaillot, 1685 L`Afrique Divisee Suivant l`Estendue de Ses Principales Parties, ou sont Distingues les uns des Autres les Empires, Monarchies, Royaumes, Estats, et Peuples... This striking map is Jaillot`s map of the continent and is a larger version of Sanson`s maps of 1650 and 1668. Engraved by Cordier, it is one of the early works in the collaboration between Sanson and Jaillot. The source of the Nile is shown emanating from two lakes below the equator. This map introduces a new depiction of the rivers south of these Ptolemaic lakes. The Zambeze River appears above the Zambere and Rio de Spiritu Santo, all of which flow into the Indian Ocean. A large section of South America is shown and two St. Helena islands appear - a common error in maps from this period. Six distance scales are presented on a drape-style cartouche. The very large and decorative title cartouche includes a tumult of figures, cornucopias, an elephant, a crocodile, a lion and an ostrich under the coat of arms of the Dauphin. Two sheets joined, as issued. This important map of the continent was copied by several other cartographers including Pieter Mortier and Marc Huguetan, who published their own edition of Jaillot`s Atlas Nouveau in 1692, with Jaillot`s imprint instead of their own. This is the second state, dated 1685. On two sheets, joined. 34.9"" W x 21.8"" H A fine impression on watermarked paper with a crease adjacent to joint and another crease in the Indian Ocean that has been professionally pressed and reinforced.

Heylin, Peter 1703 Africa ""This rare map of Africa depicts some unusual interior cartography. The Nile originates in Abyssinia but the large Ptolemaic lakes, Zaire and Zaflan, are retained. But instead of spawning the Nile River, the Zebee River flows into them from the north while the Zaire, Zembeze and several other rivers flow out to the west and south. Numerous kingdoms are located throughout. The title is contained is a small strapwork cartouche. Peter Heylin was a noted geographer and cosmographer who was also Chaplain to King Charles I of England. He wrote Microcosmus, or a Little Description of the World in 1621 which was later expanded into his Cosmographie, published from 1652 into the early 18th century."" 16.5"" W x 14"" H Watermarked paper with light toning along the centerfold and a printer`s crease at top. There are several worm tracks that have been professionally infilled and a few tiny wormholes only visible when held to light.

Brion de la Tour/Desnos, 1766 L`Afrique Dressee pour l`Etude de la Geographie... Handsome continental map decorated with a pictorial title cartouche and several ships under full sail. The interior of the map contains little geographical information, as is typical of the period. Large rivers are evident but the larger lakes are not marked. The Nile flows from two small lakes, located in the Mts. de la Lune above the equator. In the south there is a minimum of place names and a few tribal names. Brion was the former Geographer to the King of France, and Desnos was Geographer to the King of Denmark. This edition is exactly the same map as described by Norwich but has a slight variation on the highly decorative surrounding border. A separate plate was used to print the border. 12.3"" W x 11.1"" H A few light scattered spots and very minor toning along the centerfold.

Thomson, John 1817 North Africa [on sheet with] South Africa Two maps on one sheet detailing northern and southern Africa.

Both maps are filled with interesting details indicating the locations of caravan routes, cannibal tribes, cave paintings, ""good water,"" and historical events. 20.2"" W x 23.1"" H Original color with some light offsetting, a tiny abrasion in the upper map, and two small edge tears that do not enter map image.

Ptolemy/Fries, 1535 Libyae Interioris Pars [Title on Verso: Tabula III Aphricae] This stunning, Ptolemaic map covers eastern Libya, Egypt and the Nile Delta in considerable detail with the characteristic rope-like mountains and exaggerated rivers. The map is a slightly reduced version of Waldseemuller`s similar map of 1513. This edition was printed by Melchior and Gaspar Trechsel, and edited by Michael Servetus. The verso has Latin text with elaborate wood cut panels flanking it, which are said to be the work of Hans Holbein. 17.8"" W x 11.8"" H A dark impression with some light creasing along centerfold and archival repairs to several worm tracks along the centerfold, with a minute amount of image replaced in facsimile.

Blaeu based the map on Portuguese exploration and most detail is confined to the coastlines. There are two large lakes in the interior, one unnamed and the other called Zachef, which is the lake out of which the Zambere (Zambesi River) flows, probably based on reports of Lake Ngami, which was not conclusively discovered until the mid-19th century. The interior shows the mythical Mountains of the Moon or Lunae Montes. Indigenous animals including elephants and monkeys are illustrated, while large galleons sail the sea.

Ortelius, Abraham 1580 Tartariae sive Magni Chami Regni Typus ""This extremely decorative map is important for several reasons and therefore becomes a foundation map for a variety of collection subjects. It is the earliest printed map to focus on the North Pacific and the Stretto di Anian. Ortelius` depiction increased public awareness of Gastaldi`s theory of a strait between the continents of Asia and America. It also includes a very early depiction of Japan, which is shown as a huge group of islands taking up nearly the entire North Pacific and located equal distance from both Asia and America. A notation reveals that Japan, called Zipangri by Marco Polo and also Chryse, was once attacked by the great Khan. It is also one of the earliest (obtainable) maps to depict Northwestern America and to name California (C. Califormio). Six of the mythical Seven Cities of Cibola are located in the present-day Southwestern United States. This information was derived from reports of the ill-fated expedition of Francisco Vasquez de Coronado in 1541. The map was designed to illustrate the expansive Kingdom of the Great Khan in Asia, which according to Ortelius is bounded by the river Ob, Lake Kataia, the Volga, the Caspian Sea, the river Chesel, the mountains of Usson, the area of Tibet, the river Caromora and the Morning Ocean. The map was beautifully engraved by Frans Hogenberg and is filled with decoration including two encampments of Tartars, sailing ships, a flying fish and two elaborate strapwork cartouches. This is the second state with German text on verso, published between 1580-89."" 18.6"" W x 13.8"" H Original color on watermarked paper with light toning and soiling. There is one tiny worm track above the ""R"" in Septentrio, only visible when held to light.

Alaska is shown as an elongated island. In Asia, Kamchatka is fairly well formed but Japan is still quite misshapen. The bottom chart depicts the region per Kaempfer, with Japan nicely detailed, but the coasts of both Asia and North America very deformed. 14.9"" W x 11.7"" H Issued folding on a clean sheet, now pressed flat. There is some faint off-setting, one small spot, and a binding trim at lower left.

Cluver, Philipp 1694 [2 Volumes] Introductio in Omnem Geographiam Veterem Aeque… ""Cluver’s Introductio is considered the standard for 17th century geographical text books, as he is the father of modern historical geography. This edition of Cluver`s geography was published in 1694 by the heirs of Johann Buno in Wolfenbuttel, Germany. There are 37 copper-plate engravings including the world map, maps of the continents (America, Africa, Asia, and Europe), and many regional European maps. A few of the European maps have outline color. The map of America (9.8 x 8"""") was derived from the Nicolas Visscher map of 1658, with a Briggs type island of California and no Great Lakes in North America. The interior rivers of South America are all connected to a large, spurious lake labeled Lago de los Xarzyes. A depiction of the discoveries of Maarten Gerritsz de Vries` voyage appears in the waters north of Japan, and Abel Janszoon Tasman`s discoveries are shown in New Zealand. The map of Africa, Africa, Antiqua, et Nova (10.2 x 8.4""""), is an interesting continental map that is very similar to Sanson`s Africa Vetus.

Buchon, Jean Alexandre 1825 Atlas Geographique, Statistique, Historique et Chronologique des Deux Ameriques et des Iles Adjacentes...

Teguanyo ou Salo, freely runs through the Great Basin to its mouth at Monterrey. Etats-Unis d`Amerique (21.0 x 16.8"""").

Arbuckle Bros. Coffee Co., 1889 Arbuckles` Illustrated Atlas of the United States of America ""A nice example of this unusual atlas that was designed to advertise Arbuckle`s Coffee. The atlas is printed on loose pages held together with original twisted string tie. This oblong 4to atlas has 12 sheets, each with four beautiful chromolithographic maps, plus the covers.

Each of the 48 interior maps is surrounded by vignettes showing the beauty and commerce of the state, with text on the facing page describing the state or territory. Each of the 50 maps is beautifully lithographed in full color. Beginning in the mid-1880`s, the Arbuckle Bros. Coffee Company began to include advertising cards, commonly referred to as """"trade cards"""" in packages of their coffee. This was a common device used by companies of the time to tout the virtues of their products. But the Arbuckle company carried the concept a step further and created a series of very desirable images. They then encouraged their customers to collect the entire series of cards and to trade cards with their neighbors in order to complete their sets. Thus, """"trade"""" cards began to evolve into """"trading"""" cards. Arbuckle issued a great variety of cards including birds, animals, cooking, satire, sports and maps. The map series, U.S. States and Nations of the World, were extremely popular. Both series were reissued in album format, available from the company as a mail-order premium. These fascinating cards and albums are still actively collected today, more than 120 years after they were issued. The original Arbuckle Bros. Coffee Company, on the other hand, vanished from the scene over 60 years ago."" 11.2"" W x 7"" H The maps are near fine with very minor soil along the edges of the sheet and a few tiny creases in the blank margins.
