1660KBQE72K0ZFOJAmsterdam 1660. Oblong 4to ca. 23 x 28 cm. Jacob Aertsz. Colom Contemporary vellum sewn on 4 supports laced through the joints with shelf mark labels of the Oudheidkamer Twente mounted on the spine and back board. With an engraved allegorical title page by Experiens Sillemans and 50 full-page numbered engraved plates 47 maps and 3 plates containing 117 portraits of the Counts of Brabant Flanders and Holland. 2 4 14 223 2 1 blank pp. Enlarged Dutch edition of an attractive atlas of the Seventeen Provinces roughly corresponding to present-day the Netherlands and Belgium containing all 50 maps and plates. The work was compiled and published by the ambitious Amsterdam map- and globe maker printer and publisher Jacob Aertsz. Colom 1600-1673. Like Willem Jansz. Blaeu Colom began his career by publishing pilot guides and maritime atlases a field in which few dared to compete with Blaeu before branching out into terrestrial atlases. The maps and portraits in this second Dutch edition were printed from the plates of the first Dutch edition 1635 but the accompanying text has been revised and expanded.The descriptions were derived from the text written by Reinier Telle for Abraham Gooss Nieuw Nederlandtsch Caertboeck 1616 which itself was largely based on Lodovico Guicciardinis classic Beschryvinghe van alle de Nederlanden 1612. In addition to general maps of the Netherlands depicting both the Roman period and the 17th century and of the Seventeen Provinces the work contains numerous detailed maps of individual regions and cities together with their surrounding areas. These include among others the Meierij of s-Hertogenbosch Bergen op Zoom Breda Valkenburg and Dalhem Mechelen the diocese of Liège Namur the Veluwe Zutphen the island of Dordrecht Delfland six maps of newly reclaimed polders Bijlmermeer Purmer Wormer Heerhugowaard Diemermeer and Zijpe the three historic regions of Frisia Eastergoa Westergoa and Zevenwouden and Walcheren.The engraved portrait plates comprise two sheets containing respectively 40 and 38 portraits of the Dukes of Brabant and the Forestiers of Flanders and a third with 39 portraits of the Counts of Holland.With the library stamp of the Oudheidkamer Twente on the front flyleaf. The work has been recased with the endpapers restored the vellum is slightly soiled and stained. Restored tears in the head and foot margins of the title page the maps have not been bound in order the margins of map 31 have been trimmed without affecting the image map 45 with a water stain in the lower outer corner.

169617550Amsterdam c1696. 550 by 635mm. 21.75 by 25 inches. Maps""Indiae Orientalis One of only three examples known Engraved map with contemporary hand-colour in full. Rare printing by Jacob de la Feuille 1668-1719 son of Daniel de la Feuille of Nicolas Visscher's 1670 map of Southeast Asia. The map extends to include India Ceylon the Maldives part of China the East Indies the Philippines southern Persia and the northern coast of Australia depicted as """"Hollandia Nova"""". Jacob de Feuille acquired a number of engraved cartographical plates through his marriage in 1696 to Maria de Ram the widow of Johannes de Ram 1648-93 and this map is clearly printed from the same plate as de Ram's map of the same title c1683 with Feuille's name substituted for de Ram's. It is also almost identical to De Wit's 1688 map of the same title. In his imprint de Wit describes the map as """"Editia"""" edited by him whereas both de Ram and Feuille in their imprints attest that the map is """"Auctore"""" authored by them implying that the de Ram / Feuille map precedes de Wit's. De Wit's 'Tabula Indiae Orientalis emendata' of the same area was published in 1662. However Jacob de la Feuille's honour cannot be depended upon. The year following his marriage """"he was already in trouble for he was brought to court accused of having raped his housemaid.

1607ABC_48580The Hague 1607. Folio ca. 37 x 27 cm. Mid-19th-century gold-tooled half faded red morocco and red cloth sides gilt edges marbled endpapers bound in 1840-ca. 1860 by the celebrated British bookbinder Robert Riviere 1808-1882 with his stamp "Bound by Riviere" in the bottom outer corner of the verso of the first flyleaf. With an engraved title page with at the head of the page the coat of arms of the dedicatee Prince Henry Frederick eldest son of King James I of England within a wreath of lilies and roses which - together with the title and the imprint were engraved on 3 separate slips of paper pasted over areas left blank for that purpose; and 117 including one repeat expertly engraved plates ca. 26 x 19 cm: 42 numbered plates in part 1 43 partly-numbered plates in part 2 and 32 numbered plates in part 3. All engravings including the engraved title-page are magnificently coloured and highlighted in gold and silver by a contemporary hand. The plates show exercises with the arquebus part 1 musket part 2 and pike part 3. 3 parts in 1 volume. 4; 2; 3 ll. Splendid copy of this very rare English edition of De Gheyn's illustrated major military manual with the plates in their first state before they were numbered and with some details added during the colouring stage instead of being engraved several puffs of smoke in the illustrations. The present copy is one of the three "presentation copies" of the first English edition New Hollstein The De Gheyn family II p. 159 1b.The history of the publication of the book is complex. It appears that Count Johann II of Nassau-Siegen 1561-1623 commissioned De Gheyn in about 1596 to publish the work together with or with the support of his nephew the great military commander and Stadtholder Prince Maurice who had re-organised the army of the Dutch Republic. Many copies have the engraved date 1607 on the title-page changed to 1608 suggesting that this may have been the true date of issue. The same title-border was used for the various early editions with the engraved texts on slips of paper to be pasted onto the places left blank on the engraved title-page. Different coats-of-arms were used for the different languages. The Dutch issues show for instance the coat-of-arms of Prince Maurice.This work is of the highest interest for military history regarding the early 17th century. It constitutes a simple transparent and well-illustrated manual for the instruction of recruits in the rapid and skilful handling of calivers an obsolete name for the arquebus muskets and pikes which had proven to be essential for the successful and revolutionary way of warfare introduced by Prince Maurice through reforming the Dutch army by introducing exercises and strict discipline in the past years. Fully coloured copies like the present were produced largely for princes and other important persons and were probably coloured by De Gheyn himself who was certainly responsible for the high standard of the colouring. In our copy the title is in the first undated state. All the early editions use the same main plate for the title-page so the text and arms for the editions in various languages and with various dedications were engraved on three separate slips of paper to be pasted over blank spaces: for the coat of arms above the engraved title centre and the imprint and privilege below. The book met immediate success and makes a considerable contribution to our knowledge of military history. The large format editions like the present were followed in 1609 and 1619 by smaller quarto editions with woodcut copies of the original engravings. The present copy varies slightly from other similar copies in that the compiler of this particular copy added plate 34 in part two twice unfortunately omitting part 2 plate 2 in that process and adding 2 plates with minor variants to this copy part 2 plates 29 and 35. Arguably this makes the present copy even rarer.The provenance of the present copy is impressive to say the least. It was most likely the presentation copy from De Gheyn for Robert Cecil first Earl of Salisbury 1563-1612 judging by the paper slip mounted on the recto of the second flyleaf which contains in early 17th-century manuscript the following text: "For my Lord ye Earle of Salisbury". This note is accompanied by a later more extensive annotation below the slip of paper reads: "This appears to have been a presentation copy to Robert Cecil Earl of Salisbury. The above inscription was on the fragment of a flyleaf and is probably the autograph of the author - De Gheyn. signature". Robert Cecil was Secretary of State to Queen Elisabeth I of England and King James I of England. In 1608 around the time the present work was published Cecil was appointed Lord Treasurer. Furthermore the splendour of the expert and strictly contemporary colouring of all engravings including the title-page prove that the present copy was made for a very important person like a nobleman or high statesman. Other bookplates show that the present work was at least part of two other collections. The first of the two is Christopher Turnor 1809-1886 with his bookplate on the front pastedown who was an English Conservative Party politician MP for South Lincolnshire between 1841 and 1847 founder of Stoke Rochford Hall and the son of English antiquarian author and politician Edmund Turnor 1755/56-1829. The second of the two is Hermann Marx 1881-1947 a famous German-born stockbroker and banker and a noted book and print collector. His "very choice and valuable library" was auctioned by Sotheby's in 1948.With the book plate of Christopher Turnor on the front pastedown the book plate of Hermann Marx on the recto of the first flyleaf and the paper slip with the 17th-century dedication to the Earl of Salisbury with the 19th-century note below on the recto of the second flyleaf. The numbers of the plates are added in a contemporary hand since the plates here appear in their first unnumbered state. The first plate of each part also contains Gheyns signature "J. De Gheyn. in." in manuscript instead of as part of the engraving. The binding shows some signs of wear some rubbing along the edges corners and the spine and fading of the leather and cloth on the front board and spine plate 2 in plate in part 2 has been replaced by a duplicate of plate 34 from the same part internally some minor marginal browning or staining but the coloured and highlighted engravings remain fine and clean.

Rare first edition published in Germany with woodcuts instead of engravings of a military manual known in English as The exercise of arms it was written and illustrated by Jacques de Gheyn and quickly became a famous pictorial army manual for use of officers to teach the young recruits how to handle their weapons: the arquebus part 1 musket part 2 and pike part 3. The text here in German and French gives a short explanation of the illustrations. It gives an excellent picture of the successful army of the Dutch Republic after its reform by Prince Maurits who reintroduced exercises and discipline. It also immortalizes Prince Maurits as a military thinker and commander of the most disciplined army of his age.Some faint browning throughout slightly more visible on a few leaves and some foxing on title-page.
