MERCATOR, Rumold (1545-1599). Orbis Terrae Compendiosa Descriptio. [Duisburg:] 1587. Engraved twin-hemispherical world map, elaborate strapwork borders, armillary sphere, compass rose, galleon and sea monster, all hand-coloured by a contemporary hand, Latin text below in four columns, the first with 20 lines, verso blank. (Trimmed just into the left- and right-hand extremities of the plate mark just touching the western hemisphere and associated strapwork, lightly browned, lower right-hand edge with very minor chips, some minor repairs to verso, very light vertical stain to both hemispheres, some very small repairs to compass rose with associated small losses), 286 x 519mm (sheet 382 x 519mm). VERY RARE SEPARATE ISSUE OF RUMOLD MERCATOR'S STRIKING WORLD MAP. Gerard Mercator's great world map of 1569 was condensed into this double-hemisphere map by his son, Rumold. The present lot conforms with Koeman's Me 12 as being separately issued - it was later added to third part of the Atlas in 1595. 'The engraving is a model of clarity and neatness, with typical cursive flourishes to the lettering of the sea names' (Shirley). The North Pole is illustrated as a landmass surrounding a sea from which four rivers radiate, and there is a well depicted north west passage. A huge southern continent and the bulge in the south west coast of South America indicate the influence of Gerard Mercator. Koeman Me 12; Shirley 157. View on Christie's.com
