1720200036AG1720. Nuremburg Homann c.1720. Original hand-coloured engraving. Plate Size: 57.2 cm x 48.4 cm. Sheet Size: 60.2 cm x 52.4 cm. Original map. In very good condition. Clean and crisp. Repaired tears to centre-fold. Slight hint of glue-staining along centre-fold. Faintest trace of browning to outer margins only. Heijden Nederlanden 245/1. Very interesting map of the Low Countries - the modern countries of Luxembourg Belgium and the Netherlands - in eye-catching detail. The region is dominated by the Seine River emptying into the 'Mare Britannicum' in the south the Rhine and Meuse in the centre and the River Ems discharging into the Dollart Bay in the right top corner of the map. The political subdivisions are clearly identified with the Provinces clearly outlined: from Comit Artesiae Artois in the south to Respublica Groningana Groningen in the North. Relief given pictorially and place names appear in Latin. The great Dutch trading ports of Amsterdam Rotterdam and Antwerp are all identifiable as are Brussels Louvain Maastricht and Liege. In the lower part of the map lies the north of France while the patchwork of the German duchies bishoprics electorates and statelets of the Holy Roman Empire lie to the east. Across the narrow 'Fretum Caletanum' Strait of Dover is Britain. The sandbars of the shallow Zuyder Zee are also shown on the map. A beautifully elaborate title cartouche with 17 coats of arms an ornate allegorical maritime scene featuring winged putti a reclining Neptune and Mercury pointing to a globe oriented to the 'Mare Pacificum das stille Sud Meer' Pacific Ocean and naming Japan the Philippines Nova Hollandia Australia Nova Zeelandia Molluca Spice Islands Java and Mexico and Peru. The nomenclature used is suggestive of Dutch influence in the region. The prized Java and the Spice Islands would remain part of the Dutch colonial empire until the 20th Century. A compass rose lies just off the well-described Dutch coastline. In the lower right corner of the map are three milliaria scale bars. Johann Baptist Homann 1663-1724 was a mapmaker who founded the famous Homann Heirs publishing company. He spent his life in Bavaria especially in Nuremberg. Initially Johann trained to become a priest before converting to Protestantism and working as a notary. In 1702 Homann founded a publishing house that specialized in engravings. The firm flourished becoming the leading map publisher in Germany and an important player in the European map market. In 1715 Johann was named Imperial Geographer to the Holy Roman Empire by Charles VI and made a member of the Prussian Academy of Sciences. Most significantly for his business his reputation and contacts gained him Imperial printing privileges which protected his publications and recommended him to customers. Johann is best known for this Grosser Atlas ueber die ganze Welt or the Grand Atlas of the World published in 1716. After Johann died in 1724 the business passed to his son Christoph 1703-1730. Upon Christophs early death the company passed to subsequent heirs with the name of the company changing to Homann Erben or Homann Heirs. The firm continued operating until 1848. unknown

A Map of the Island of St. John in the Gulf of St. Laurence; divided into Counties & Parishes and the Lots as granted by Government. to which are added The Soundings round the Coast & Harbours Improv'd from the late Survey of Captain Holland

1776324444London: Sayer and Bennett 1776. unbound. Map. Engraving with hand colored outline. Sheet measures 29" x 22". Image measures 27 1/4" x 14" A map of Prince Edward Island by Samuel Holland from Thomas Jeffreys' 1776"American Atlas". Holland arrived on Prince Edward Island in 1764 following the 1763 Treaty of Paris that ceded the territory to Britain. He spent two years mapping the island with his survey dividing the land into a series of townships known as "lots" parishes and counties. The map is extensively labeled with delicate hand-colored outline. A table in the upper left corner lists parishes and townships with their respective acreage. Another table in the top center of the map lists lots and proprietor's names. An inset map features the entire Gulf of St. Laurence extending from the river to New Foundland showing the northern coast of Nova Scotia the southern coast of Labrador and various islands in the gulf. This map is in excellent condition. Minor chips and tears to edges and a printers crease to lower margin not affecting the image. Otherwise clean and bright. Samuel Holland 1728-1801 was a Dutch-born surveyor who was appointed by the British government as Surveyor General of North America. Thomas Jefferys 1695 - 1771 was a leading mapmaker known for his detailed and influential maps of North America and the West Indies. Apprenticed to engraver Emmanuel Bowen in 1735 Jefferys began his career by engraving maps for "Gentleman's Magazine" before establishing his own business. In 1746 he was appointed Geographer to Frederick Prince of Wales and became Royal Cartographer to King George III in 1760. Despite facing financial difficulties and bankruptcy Jefferys' work was rescued and republished by Robert Sayer. His maps remained influential through posthumous editions by Sayer Bennet and others. Jefferys was succeeded by his son Thomas Jefferys Jr. and his plates eventually passed to William Faden. His contributions have had a lasting impact on cartographic history particularly in the mapping of North America. Sayer and Bennett unknown

He fled his hometown of Alkmaar in fear he would be captured by the Court of Holland. Initially the Van der Mieden family was a wealthy noble family with a good reputation. Jacob's father Aris was mayor of the city of Alkmaar Jacob was appointed bailiff of Nieuwburgen in 1731. Here one of his judicial officers ran a reign of terror. The people felt that bailiff Jacob was protecting his officer which made him very unpopular. Jacob was also lord of Callantsoog where he imprisoned the former bailiff Jan Harge in 1740 after Harge was being accused of abuse of office. The problem was that he did so under such bad conditions that the wife of Harge complained to the Court of Holland after which Harge was exonorated and the Court of Holland turned to Van der Mierde. Out of fear of being put behind bars he fled to Lent near Nijmegen. His wife Susanna Doubleth appealed the court and advocated that her husband would be tried by the local court in Alkmaar instead of the Court of Holland. These request are added in this collection. The last ordinance in the collection is the conviction of his younger brother Adriaan counselor of the Court of Holland who was accused of co-writing the requests with Susanna which were quite libel and defamatory undermining the Court of Holland as the highest judiciary institution of Holland. Adriaan was suspended from the court in 1747. The fate of Jacob van der Mieden remains unclear.With a manuscript annotation on the title page signed by G.J. van Persijn 1791.

DES BARRES, J F W (publisher) [and] SAMUEL HOLLANDBiblio.com

Untitled chart of Boston Bay

177634405London: J. F. W. Des Barres 1776. Engraved with color wash and outline color. Sheet: 31 x 42 1/4 inches. Expert restoration primarily at the upper margin. Two sheets joined both watermarked "J.Bates" and countermarked "JB". Fourth state of five. Among the earliest charts published by Des Barres were those relevant to the crisis in New England as the War of Independence broke out. This chart depicts the coast of Massachusetts from Salem to Scituate Harbor and includes the complicated hydrography of Boston Harbor and the confluent rivers. A considerable amount of coastal topography is included obviously relevant to warships. Fundamentally a chart for navigators it includes soundings and shoals with particularly strong detail along the Charles and Mystic Rivers as well as in Salem and Marblehead. Samuel Holland was the lead surveyor. In 1764 he was named Surveyor General of both the Province of Quebec and the Northern District of North America. He had a considerable staff and the British Navy assisted in providing soundings. From 1770 to 1774 his squad worked exclusively on northeastern colonies that soon became part of the United States. The surveys that derived from the industry of their work were the most accurate ever made to that time. They were sent to London where Des Barres supervised the engraving and publication. The charts were very soon put to use. Des Barres of Swiss-Huguenot extraction studied under the great mathematician Daniel Bernoulli at the University of Basel before continuing on to the Royal Military College at Woolwich. Upon the outbreak of hostilities with France in 1756 he joined the British Royal American Regiment as a military engineer. He came to the attention of General James Wolfe who appointed him to join his personal detail. During this period he also worked with the future legendary explorer James Cook on a monumental chart of the St. Lawrence River. From 1762 Des Barres was enlisted to survey the coastlines of Nova Scotia Newfoundland and the Gulf of St. Lawrence while his colleague Samuel Holland charted the New England coast. He also managed to gain access to some surveys of the American South Cuba and Jamaica. In 1774 Des Barres returned to England where he began work on The Neptune. His dedication to the project was so strong that often at his own expense he continually updated and added new charts and views up until 1784. That year he returned to Canada where he remained for a further forty years becoming a senior political figure and a wealthy land owner and living to the advanced age of 103.

ANATOMIA CORPORUM HUMANORUM

1739ST12883Leyden: Johann Arnold Langerak 1739. First Edition in Latin. 540 x 380 mm. 21 1/4 x 15". 70 leaves of text.Translated by William Dundass. Original red quarter vellum over marbled boards raised bands UNTRIMMED EDGES. Engraved printer's device on title large decorative initials and tailpieces EXTRA ENGRAVED TITLE AND 114 STRIKING PLATES OF ANATOMICAL FIGURES three folding. Wellcome II 401; Heirs of Hippocrates 468; Choulant-Frank pp. 252-3; Russell 213. ◆Vellum on spine rather worn with three one-and-one-half-inch pieces broken away revealing structure underneath paper boards quite chafed other minor problems externally but an entirely solid unrestored binding. A couple of plates with short closed marginal tears one folding plate with one-inch closed tear into image no loss untrimmed edges a little browned and brittle with isolated small chips occasional minor foxing or insignificant stains three plates lightly browned but still AN UNUSUALLY ATTRACTIVE COPY INTERNALLY with the broadest of margins with especially clean and fresh leaves and with rich impressions of the plates. With plates of notable visual impressiveness this was the finest anatomy book in England during the first half of the 18th century; it also was largely a plagiarism borrowing most of its engraved content from a work by the Dutch physician Govert Bidloo published in 1685. Bidloo's work was the first large-scale anatomical atlas to appear after Vesalius' epoch-making "De Humani Corporis Fabrica" and the plates which are highly praised by Norman and Garrison-Morton are characterized by startlingly detailed life-size depictions of the human body both adult and infant with figures flayed to reveal muscles opened to show organs and unfleshed to exhibit bones. According to Choulant-Frank Bidloo's publishers sold 300 impressions of these plates to Cowper probably to recoup some of their money after disappointing sales. Cowper took Bidloo's original 105 plates added nine of his own and produced an English translation of the original Latin text to accompany them. Discussing the original plates produced by Gerard de Lairesse 1641-1711 Norman says that the figures are displayed "in an emotional almost tender manner contrasting the raw dissected parts with the full soft surfaces of uncut flesh placing flayed bound figures in ordinary nightclothes or bedding setting ordinary household objects such as books jars or cabinets in the same scene as cut-up torsos or limbs. His illustrations brought the qualities of Dutch still-life painting into anatomical illustration and gave a new darker spiritual expression to the significance of the act of dissection." When Cowper's version of the atlas first appeared as "The Anatomy of Humane Bodies" in London in 1698 there was also a 1737 Leyden printing in English before our more scholarly Latin edition Bidloo complained to the Royal Society and accused Cowper of plagiarism and fraud resulting in much acrimony and heated pamphleteering between the two physicians. Notwithstanding this scandal Cowper's achievements and discoveries--including the pair of glands that bear his name--were considerable and his text improved significantly upon the original work. Unfortunately as the DNB notes "the notoriety of this case has served to obscure a true appreciation of Cowper and of his many original contributions to anatomical illustration." The atlases of Bidloo and Cowper appear on the market regularly but at 540 x 380 mm. the present copy is distinguished by its size which is significantly larger than what is typically seen with this edition--we have not been able to trace a copy larger than ours from marketplace or institutional records.

A plan of Fort Montgomery and Fort Clinton taken by His Majesty's forces under the command of Maj. Gen.l Sir Henry Clinton K.B: Survey'd by Major Holland Surv.r Gen.l &c. . With large inset titled: Part of Hudsons River shewing the position of Fort Montgomery and Fort Clinton with the Chevaux de Frieze cables chains &c to obstruct the passage of his Majesty's forces up the river. By Lieut. John Knight of the Royal Navy in 1777

177933200London 1779. Engraved and aquatint map period hand colouring. 14 lettered references large inset with title as above. Rare revolutionary chart of the Hudson River showing the American defenses on the eve of the Battle of Fort Montgomery. On October 6 1777 a British force led by Lieutenant General Sir Henry Clinton attacked Forts Montgomery and Clinton from the landward side where the American defenses were only partially completed. Support from cannon fire from British ships on the Hudson River that had passed through the chevaux de frise on the lower river. By the end of the day both forts had fallen to the British who burned the forts and tore down the stonework buildings. However the battle was a pyrrhic victory for the British. The campaign against the forts caused delays in reinforcing General John Burgoyne at Saratoga where Americans forced the British surrender ten days later at the Battle of Saratoga before Clinton's forces could arrive. The present map which depicts the Forts and the River defenses prior to the battle is from The Atlantic Neptune the finest large scale sea atlas of the United States and Canadian Atlantic coastline ever produced. The maps in the atlas were produced over a seven-year period 1775-82 and are well known for their accurate portrayal of various sounds bays bars harbors as well as navigational hazards. This atlas was used extensively by the Royal Navy during the American Revolution. Des Barres studied under the great mathematician Daniel Bernoulli at the University of Basel before continuing on to the Royal Military College at Woolwich. On the outbreak of the Seven Years war in 1756 he joined the British Royal American Regiment as a military engineer. He came to the attention of General James Wolfe who appointed him to be his aide-de-camp. From 1762 Des Barres was enlisted to survey the coastlines of Nova Scotia Newfoundland and the Gulf of St.Lawrence while his colleague Samuel Holland charted the New England coast and further south. In 1774 Des Barres returned to England where he began work on the Neptune. His dedication to the project was so strong that often at his own expense he continually updated and added new charts and views up until 1784. That year he returned to Canada where he remained for a further forty years becoming a senior political figure and a wealthy land owner and living to the advanced age of 103. The Atlantic Neptune was the first British sea atlas of her North American colonies and one of the most important achievements of eighteenth century cartography. With an official commission from the Royal Navy Des Barres published the first volume in London in 1775 which was soon followed by further volumes. Des Barres' monumental endeavor eventually featured over two-hundred charts and aquatint views many being found in several states. All of the charts were immensely detailed featuring both hydrographical and topographical information. The Neptune met with the highest acclaim from the beginning and is today widely regarded as superior to all other atlases produced during its time. Henry Stevens identified only a single state of this chart issued coloured or uncoloured which appeared in some examples volume four part two of the Atlantic Nepture; the map however is not listed in the engraved list of maps for that section and given the rarity was likely not issued in all copies.

Buzzards Bay and Vineyard Sound.

177633412London: J. F. W. Des Barres for The Atlantic Neptune 1776. Large engraved chart from Des Barres' Atlantic Neptune on two sheets of laid paper joined each bearing "J Bates" watermark. 43x31 inches sheet size nice margins; contemporary hand-color in outline; slightest offsetting a superior copy. State 4 of 7. Fine chart depicting the waters between New Bedford and Martha's Vineyard. Buzzards Bay and the Vineyard Sound including the Elizabeth Islands and the western half of Martha's Vineyard. Showing much more on-shore information than is typical for a Des Barres chart there are details of property boundaries structures even a road from Menemshaw Pond to Tisbury. Native names throughout remain largely unchanged today. Joseph Des Barres was born in Switzerland in 1721 and educated in Basel before emigrating to England and entering the Royal Military College where he learned engineering and the art of surveying. In 1756 Des Barres was commissioned a Lieutenant in the Royal American Regiment and dispatched to North America. He served in America during the Seven Years War under Colonel Bouquet Lord Howe and General Amherst and participated in the Quebec campaign as General Wolfe's engineer. Though Des Barres was responsible for the surveys done of Nova Scotia and the Isle of Sable the surveying of the coastline of what became the United States was undertaken by Major Samuel Holland a Dutchman who joined the British army during the French and Indian War as an engineer and became ultimately Surveyor General for North America. Holland was in charge of a rather large staff that included Charles Blaskowitz and George Gauld. They ultimately provided greatly improved charts for the entire coastline and the Gulf of Mexico. All this work was done prior to the Revolution which necessarily brought the surveys to an end. The publishing supervised by Des Barres continued throughout the war years. Des Barres compiled and edited the atlas maintaining a high standard throughout. His primary motive seems to have been the navigational usefulness of the charts. He clearly envisioned a navigator's needs in approaching a shoreline. The Atlantic Neptune was the first new survey of American coastlines in a century and the need was very great. The charts were plagiarized for the next thirty or forty years. Des Barres also had a flare for making charts aesthetically appealing so that they are invariably handsome as well as unfailingly interesting.
