Published the year before the Armada, the work is dedicated to Sir Walter Raleigh, an apparent promotion for Hakluyt's cause. The Latin text is drawn from the 1530 edition of Martyr's text, the first to be published with all eight "Decades". The folding map, known as the Hakluyt-Martyr map, is a remarkable piece of cartography, exceedingly rare to find in its original situation. We cannot trace a copy appearing at auction with the map present in over a century. It covers North and South America, including part of Africa, Europe, and Pacific islands. New Guinea and Japan are shown partially blank. The overall shape of the coastline of America is greatly improved, eliminating the bulge to western South America commonly found in maps of the period. Most remarkable is the inclusion of "Virginea 1584", the first appearance of the name Virginia on a printed map. An area entitled "Nuevo Mexico" with a large inland lake is also the first use of this term on a printed map.Literature: Adams M753; Sabin 1552; Burden 63 for the Hakluyt-Martyr map. δ This lot is sold subject to Artists Resale Rights, details of which can be found in our Terms and Conditions.

Harding and W. H.

Popple lacked any formal training or experience as a mapmaker prior to this, his only known cartographic work. Accordingly, he made use of any available printed and manuscript maps he could get his hands on, consulting a variety of English and French sources; most notably Delisle's Carte de la Louisiane et du Cours du Mississippi, 1718, Guillaume Delisle's Carte du Canada, 1703 and the maps of Herman Moll. The resultant, monumental map - nearly eight feet squared when joined - bears witness to the rapidly growing knowledge of the interior of North America, with copies of Popple's map being sent to the governors of each English colony for official use."A fundamental centerpiece of any serious collection of North American maps" (Babinski, Henry Popple's 1733 Map, 1998, p. 151).
