Rarissima ristampa della lastra anonima - attribuita ad Antonio Lafreri e databile al 1555/60. Esemplare nel terzo stato di quattro descritto e illustrato in Bifolco-Ronca, pagina 2377.In alto a sinistra l’iscrizione Urbis Rome totius olim orbis domitricis, situs: cum adhuc extantibus, sacrosancte vetustatis monumentis PIRRHO LIGORIO NEAP. INVENTOR. Orientazione nei quattro lati al centro con il nome dei punti cardinali SEPTENTRIO, MERIDIES, ORIENS, OCCIDENS, il nord a sinistra.Anonima pianta prospettica della città, basata sulla pianta di Pirro Ligorio, edita da Michele Tramezzini nel 1552. La pianta è inserita in alcuni esemplari dello Speculum Romanae Magnificentiae di Antonio Lafreri, al quale pertanto viene attribuita. Il grande interesse storico di questa pianta non è dato dall’opera stessa, una semplice copia del lavoro del Ligorio, ma è rappresentato dalle tirature successive di questa lastra. Il secondo stato, databile alla seconda metà del XVII secolo, è completamente emendato ed arricchito da toponomastica in lingua francese. Viene inserita anche una lunga descrizione della città, sempre in lingua francese. E’ noto che, alla morte di Antonio Lafreri (1577), i due terzi delle lastre furono divisi tra i nipoti Stefano e Claudio Duchetti. Il restante terzo venne suddiviso tra più editori. Questa lastra quindi potrebbe avere preso la via di Parigi, dove venne ristampata circa un secolo dopo. In alternativa la carta potrebbe essere stampata Roma ed emendata in lingua francese. Tale edizione viene descritta da Hülsen (1915), che la annovera tra le “Copie e ristampe”, come "Incisa nel sec. XVII ex.ovvero XVIII. Ne vidi una copia presso il sig. Lang nel 1914" (la libreria antiquaria Lang di Roma). Un altro esemplare, che tuttavia potrebbe essere lo stesso citato da Hülsen, è descritto nella biblioteca della British School of Rome, appartenuto alla celebre collezione di Thomas Ashby (1874-1931), direttore dell’accademia dal 1906 al 1925. Sempre Hülsen cataloga lo stato finale dell’opera, con l’indirizzo dell’editore francese Francois Jollain. Acquaforte e bulino, stampata su carta vergata coeva, in ottimo stato di conservazione.

A very rare map of the city, published in Paris in the mid-seventeenth century using the plate made in Rome by Antonio Lafreri.Example of the third state of four.The map is based on that of Pirro Ligorio, 1552, edited by Michele Tramezini in Rome, and its subsequent and numerous variants.The only example known today of this map is in the library of the British School of Rome, belonged to the famous collection of Thomas Ashby (1874-1931), director of the British School at Rome from 1906 to 1925.For the stile of type this work can be attributed to the French publisher Francois Jollain. The plate appears to be yet more ancient, even '500, to which were added numerous inscriptions in French, starting from the extensive description in the bottom right corner.Copper engraving, perfect condition.

Suite raffigurante i 4 continenti, finemente incisi ad acquaforte e bulino, databili al 1590/95 ca. La carta dell’Asia è firmata in lastra, in basso a sinistra. Magnifiche prove, ricche di toni, impresse su carta vergata coeva con filigrana “ancora in un cerchio sormontato da fiore” con relativa contromarca (Briquet 571, Woodward 178), ampi margini, in perfetto stato di conservazioneLe mappe, secondo Philip Burden e Richard Betz, sono databili al 1605 e derivano chiaramente da quelle pubblicate nella Universale Fabrica del Mondo di Giovanni Lorenzo Anania, Venezia 1582. Si differenziano principalmente per dimensione e per scala di gradazione. Tuttavia ci permettiamo di discordare dalla datazione attribuita da Burden e Betz, ritenendo queste opere del Rosaccio databili al periodo 1590/95. Le mappe erano infatti accompagnate dalla carta del mondo che Rodney Shirley include tra quelle aggiunte nella nuova ristampa di The Mapping of the World, elencandone un solo esemplare conosciuto, che si trova nella Biblioteca Municipale di Grenoble. Shirley data la mappa all’ultimo decennio del XVI secolo. A conclusione dello studio su questo inusuale gruppo cartografico, possiamo evidenziare che questo set rappresenta una prima stesura del Rosaccio per la realizzazione delle carte successivamente inserite nella sua Geografia ed anche nelle Relationi Universali del Botero. Le opere, probabilmente realizzate in pochissimi esemplari, non furono mai inserite in nessuna pubblicazione, e si presentano su fogli intonsi, a pieni margini, stampate su carta con filigrana che il Briquet indica fabbricata a Verona intorno al 1583, ed il Woodward riscontra in altre mappe del periodo 1580 e 1594. Diverse sono anche le dimensioni delle lastre, ma questo probabilmente perché gli studiosi si sono trovati ad esaminare esemplari rifilati all’interno del rame.Giuseppe Rosaccio, medico e geografo, è noto per alcune opere geografiche e cosmografiche, che, sebbene di non gran mole, gli procurarono qualche fama e furono più volte ristampate. Tra esse il Teatro del Cielo e della Terra (Venezia 1595), il Mondo e le sue parti, cioè Europa, Affrica, Asia et America (Verona 1596), il Microcosmo (Firenze 1600), il Mondo elementare e celeste (Treviso 1604), il Discorso sulla nobiltà ed eccellenza della Terra (Firenze, s. a.). Egli curò anche un'edizione della Geografia di Tolomeo, stampata a Venezia nel 1599, corredandola con alcuni Discorsi e 42 tavole nuove. Set omogeneo, di straordinaria rarità. - EARLY ISSUE, UNRECORDED - Suite depicting the 4 continents, finely etched with etching and engraving, dating to 1590/95 approx. The map of Asia is signed in the plate, lower left. Magnificent proofs, rich tones, printed on contemporary laid paper with watermark "still in a circle surmounted by flower" with the countermark (Briquet 571, 178 Woodward), wide margins, in perfect conditionThe maps, according to Philip Burden and Richard Betz, can be dated back to 1605 and are clearly derived from that published in the Universale Fabrica del Mondo by Giovanni Lorenzo Anania, Venice 1582. They differ mainly in size and scale of gradation. However, we would disagree on the dating attributed by Burden and Betz, considering these works of Rosaccio dating from the period 1590/95. The maps were in fact accompanied by a map of the world that includes Rodney Shirley among those added to the new reissue of The Mapping of the World, listing only known specimen, which is located in the Municipal Library of Grenoble. Shirley dated the map at the last decade of the sixteenth century. At the conclusion of the study of this unusual maps, we can that describe this set is a first issue of Rosaccio’s maps later incorporated in his "Geographia" and also in the Relationi Universali by Botero. The works, probably made in a few examples, were never included in any publication, and are on uncut sheets, with full margins, printed on paper with a watermark that indicates Briquet manufactured in Verona around 1583, and Woodward found in other maps of the period 1580 to 1594. There are also different sizes of plates, but this is probably because scholars have found to examine specimens trimmed in copper.Homogeneous set of extraordinary rarity. Burden, The Mapping of North America, 149; Shirley, The Mapping of the World, 174A, Betz, The Mapping of Africa, 51; Briquet, Les Filigranes, 571. Dimensioni circa 210x260 ognuna

Grande pianta della città, stampata su due fogli reali, copia di quella realizzata da Giovan Battista Falda nel 1667 per papa Alessandro VII. Pianta a proiezione mista, orientata con il nord a sinistra. Topograficamente la carta del Sandrart è fedele a quella del Falda; le modifiche sostanziali sono nei cartigli, con le scritte in tedesco, e nella dedica a papa Innocenzo XI. Il cartiglio di destra raffigura gli stemmi dei Rioni, mentre in basso al centro sono incise delle piccole vedute delle sette chiese giubilari. Incisa a quattro mani con Johannes Meyer, questa pianta risulta per l’eleganza del segno, più raffinata rispetto al Falda, intagliata dal francese Lhuiler. "Copia della pianta piccola del Falda incisa dal Meyer che si firma in basso a sinistra Iohann Meyer fecit Tiguri. IN alto a sinistra, in luogo della dedica fatta dal Falda ad Alessandro VII, compare quella ad Innocenzo XI (1676-89) con la data 1677 e più in basso il nome di Ioachini Sandrart. La pianta è probabilmente anche contenuta nell'opera del Sandrart Der Alten und neue, pubblicata a Norimberga nel 1768" (cfr. Marigliani p. 219). Acquaforte, con margini, in eccellente stato di conservazione. Rara. Large plan of the city, printed on two real sheets, copy of the one made by Giovan Battista Falda in 1667 for Pope Alexander VII. Mixed projection map, oriented with north on the left. Topographically, Sandrart's map is faithful to Falda's; the substantial changes are in the cartouches, with the German inscriptions, and in the dedication to Pope Innocezo XI. The right-hand cartouche depicts the coats of arms of the Rioni, while small views of the seven Jubilee churches are engraved in the bottom centre. Engraved by four hands with Johannes Meyer, this plan is more refined in the elegance of its sign than the Falda, carved by the Frenchman Lhuiler. "Copy of Falda's small plan engraved by Meyer, signed at lower left Iohann Meyer fecit Tiguri. In the upper left corner, instead of the dedication made by Falda to Alexander VII, the dedication to Innocent XI (1676-89) appears with the date 1677 and lower down the name of Ioachini Sandrart. The plan is probably also contained in Sandrart's work Der Alten und neue, published in Nuremberg in 1768' (cf. Marigliani p. 219). Sandrart carved this plan together with Johannes Meyer; the result is a far more refained work compared to that of Falda, carved by Lhuiler. Etching, with margins, in excellent condition. Rare.

7 colour printed maps. Scale 1:50,000 and 1:1,000,000. In English and Arabic. Folded. First edition. A set of exceedingly rare UAE topographic maps, compiled from 1:30,000 scale aerial photography taken during 1986 and 1987, presumably based on UK versions. The maps show international boundaries, tracks and paths, bridges, historical landmarks, schools, tree and date plantations, mangroves, oil and gas injection wells, mosques and cemeteries, emergency telephones, water pipelines and tanks, cliffs and rocky areas, as well as other details encountered in the vast desert. Occasionally the average relative height of the dunes is given, reaching up to 45 metres at certain points. - The 6 maps of the 1:50,000 series are sheets number NF-40-01-14, NF-40-01-22, NF-40-01-34, and NF-40-02-11, as well as NG-40-13-54, and NG-40-13-63. The maps of this series "were used extensively for UTM [Universal Transverse Mercator projection coordinate system] Zone 39 rectification. These maps have a local UAE national grid which is equivalent to the UTM grid if a bias of 2,150,000 m in the y-dimension and 150,000 m in the x-dimension are added" (Jensen). The single map of the 1:100,000 series, dating from 1992, is sheet number NG-40-136. - Some pencil marks and circles. The 1:50,000 scaled maps have a stamped six-digit number and a round stamp in Arabic type on the reverse; the 1:100,000 scaled map has a square stamp in Arabic type on the reverse. A few small tears and creases; occasional adhesive tape; paper variously pierced. No copies traceable in libraries internationally.

Der von Albert Camesina (1806-1881) lithographierte und in kleiner Auflage gedruckte Plan erschien über zwei Jahre in einzelnen Lieferungen, was - neben dem übergroßen Format der Wandkarte und der verhältnismäßig kleinen Auflage - einen der Hauptgründe für seine Seltenheit darstellt. Der Wienplan des Mitarbeiters Augustin Hirschvogels Bonifaz Wolmut “stellte eine Kombination von ausgeführten und projektierten Festungsanlagen zur Diskussion. Darüber hinaus ergeben die detaillierte Wiedergabe des Grundrisses der Innenstadt [...] und die in freier Perspektive festgehaltenen Vorstadtränder eine grundlegende Dokumentation Wiens (Wien im Mittelalter, Kat. des Historischen Museums der Stadt Wien, 1975/6, Nr. 364). - Nur zwei der neun Segmente unbedeutend fleckig, am rechten unteren Rand etwas bestoßen, im Ganzen aber von sehr ansprechender Erhaltung.
