L'Amerique Meridionale, L'Amerique Septentrionale, L'Asie, and L'Afrique, Amsterdam: Covens & Mortier, between 1735 & 1778, a set of 4 (of 5) hand-coloured engraved wooden jigsaw puzzles (lacking the map of Europe), each with title vignette, each defective: L'Amerique Meridionale lacking one small piece (Tierra Del Fuego); L'Amerique Septentrionale lacking a few pieces (Canada and part of North America); L'Asie lacking several pieces (portion of Indochina, part of Indonesia and Malaysia, Persia, Turkey, Korea); and L'Afrique lacking several pieces (Black Sea, Ethiopia, Eastern Egypt, Persian Gulf), and with loss of paper engraving to 2 pieces (Sudan and portion of South Atlantic), L'Afrique toned, L'Asie with some toning and foxing, each map loosely held in original rimmed oak tray (broken and some pieces detached), 22 x 29.8 cm, housed in original oak box with wooden runners to accommodate each jigsaw (32.5 x 25 x 8.5 cm)QTY: (1)NOTE:An exceedingly rare and early boxed set of educational map jigsaw puzzles; we have not seen any other similar.Covens & Mortier was one of the largest and most successful publishing firms in Dutch history. Established by Pierre Mortier (1661-1711) in the late 17th century, the company passed to his son, Cornelius Mortier (1699-1783), and traded for almost two centuries, becoming particularly known for its maps, atlases and globes. In 1721 Cornelius married the sister of Johannes Covens (1697-1774), and his brother-in-law joined him in business. The firm of Mortier and Covens continued until 1778 when it was renamed J. Covens and Son, becoming Mortier, Covens and Son in 1794. As well as publishing their own maps, the firm also purchased plates from other companies. For example, on the death of Dutch publisher Pieter Van Den Aa (1659-1733), Covens and Mortier reissued his much admired Nouvel Atlas, from which these four maps were taken.John Spilsbury is commonly credited with creating the first dissected map around the mid 1760s, although this claim has been disputed (there are earlier references to dissected maps made by French educator and author Madame de Beaumont). Covens and Mortier first advertised that they were sellers of such jigsaws in 1779, but we know from the imprint that this set must date from at least the year before, and possibly earlier, bearing in mind that the firm were in possession of the plates as early as 1733. We can certainly say, therefore, that these are some of the earliest dissected maps, possibly even pre-dating Spilsbury and de Beaumont. Furthermore, in issuing a set of maps Covens & Mortier were tapping into a new market, and undoubtedly aiming at the most affluent, who were surely the only clientele who could afford such a luxury for their children.
