A New and Accurat Map of the World Drawne According to ye Truest Descriptions Latest Discoveries & Best Observations yt have beene Made by English or Strangers This desirable and beautiful double-hemispheric world is based on William Grent`s rare, separately issued map of 1625 (Shirley #313). It is considered one of the earliest published world maps to be printed in English, and is the first atlas map to show the cartographic curiosity of California as an island, which persisted for nearly 100 years. It was also one of the first to show the settlement of New Plymouth. The coastline in North America is blank east of California and swings wildly to the west in the northern regions of Canada and Alaska. The Straits of Magellan are inaccurately shown and Tierra de Fuego is left open to the west. The Southerne Unknowne Land shows the large conjectured continent covering much of the southern hemisphere. The map is beautifully engraved and highly detailed throughout. The engraver is unknown but Shirley acknowledges it was most likely Abraham Goos. This highly decorative production is surrounded by two celestial hemispheres, figural allegorical representations of Water, Earth, Air and Fire, plus portraits of Ferdinand Magellan, Oliver vander Noort, Thomas Cavendish and Sir Francis Drake. The corners are filled with an astronomical table, an armillary sphere, and eclipses of the sun and moon. With several lengthy notes including comments on the South Pole and the Straits of Magellan, Sir Francis Drake and others. Related English text on verso is ""The generall Description of the World."" Shirley says this map was not as widely disseminated as those from contemporary Dutch cartographers and was uncommon outside the UK. Consequently its ""rarity value"" continues to increase. This example carries the imprint of Roger Rea. The map is dated 1651 but it is believed to have been published in 1665. A dark impression on watermarked paper with good margins and an expertly repaired centerfold separation that enters 3.5"" into image at bottom. There are additional professional repairs to some small tears and chips confined to blank margins with light marginal soiling. 15.8 W x 20.5 H Speed, John 1651

Africa Secundum Legitimas Projectionis Stereographicae Regulas et Juxta Recentissimas Relationes et Observationes in Subsidium Vocatis Quoque Veterum Leonis AfricaniÂ… Johann Matthias Haas was a professor of mathematics at Wittenberg. For his map of Africa he used J.B. Homann`s 1715 map, augmented to include important cartographic developments after Guillaume Delisle and D`Anville. Thus, his map presents a fairly accurate picture without most of the fictitious lakes and rivers of previous cartography. It focuses on the known coastal regions of the continent, leaving the interior blank or marked Terra Incognito. Egypt, Nubia and Abyssinia are shown as distinct entities, Lake Nyasa is shown as Lac Marawi, and the Congo is located. The Dutch settlements of Castell Batov and Stellenbosch are shown at the Cape. Below the map is a legend identifying the location of various religious affiliations by color, including Catholics, Evangelicals, and Pagans. The most striking feature of the map is the large title cartouche that is framed by elephant tusks and a horned serpent. In the foreground is a scene of natives negotiating with European traders, surrounded by indigenous animals. In the background is a view of Table Bay and Table Mountain. Watermarked paper with original color in the map and later coloring in the cartouche. There is very light soiling and a few minor spots of foxing. 18.2 W x 21.8 H Haas/Homann Heirs, 1737

Comprehended in seventy four sheets and forming a series of one hundred and twenty two Maps Plans and Sections."" This is an attractive copy of this famous and highly sought after atlas, complete with 74 hand-colored maps of the world, North America and the other continents, Oceanica, the United States and its territories, and numerous city plans. The map of Texas, first issued in 1846 by Mitchell, depicts the new state boundaries that were determined by the Compromise of 1850 with the panhandle in an inset ""Texas North of Red River"" at lower left. San Patricio occupies the south tip while Milam and Robertson are long counties that begin at the Nacogdoches-San Antonio road and arc to the northwest all the way to the Red River. The comment in the panhandle claims that the area ""as far as North Canadian Fork was explored by Le Grand in 1833, [and] it is naturally fertile, well wooded, and with a fair proportion of water"" is from Arrowsmith`s 1841 map. The impressive map of the west has Oregon extending to the Continental Divide, the huge Utah territory extending from California to Indian Territory, and New Mexico occupying all of the Southwest with a pre-Gadsden Purchase border. The double-page map of the United States features the same borders depicted in the western map, plus it has a large inset ""Gold Region of California.""
