1987ST20505-11Madison Wisconsin: The Juniper Press 1987. No. 116 OF 150 COPIES. 632 x 250 mm. 25 x 9 3/4". 2p.l. 19 1 pp. <br/> Black quarter buckram over maroon marbled paper boards spine lettered in gilt. In a custom maroon buckram clamshell box. WITH 24 FACSIMILE GLOBE GORES. Signed by Woodward on the limitation page. Just a hint of use to the box booklet corners just a touch rubbed otherwise as new.<br/> <br/> This sizable attractive publication reproduces one of the largest complete sets of 16th century globe gores. Dating from around 1574 the original gores which when assembled would make a globe measuring just under 70 centimeters in diameter have been attributed to brothers Livio and Giulio Sanuto Venetian cartographers and engravers. Little is known about the gores' origin; the accompanying essay suggests they may have never made it to the final stages of publication and production possibly stopped by an outbreak of plague. This facsimile was created from the only extant set in the collection of Arthur Holzheimer 1932-2025 and was produced by his research foundation along with the Newberry Library. The gores are accompanied by a booklet by noted cartography scholar David Woodward 1942-2004 which provides background and the evidence supporting the attribution of the gores to the Sanuto brothers.

ONE OF 89 COPIES in quarter vellum of a total edition of 115. 490 x 325 mm. 19 1/4 x 13". viii 23 1 pp. 1 leaf. <br/> Publisher's quarter vellum over gray paper boards covers with device in gilt smooth spine lettered in gilt. In just slightly chafed black buckram slipcase. WITH A MAP FROM THE ORIGINAL 1619 ATLAS bound in with period hand coloring. Map 293 "Tarvisina Marchia Et Tirolis Comitatus". De Hamel & Silver "Disbound and Dispersed" 186. One corner a bit bumped otherwise the main volume flawless; the map edges a bit browned and just slightly frayed a few light spots but still excellent with good color and strong general appeal.<br/> <br/> This attractive oversized production includes an original map of an important region of northeastern Italy taken from the 1619 edition of the Mercator-Hondius atlas. A pioneer in commercial cartography and a founder of the Netherlandish school of cartography and geography Mercator 1512-94 produced maps used around the world that were informed by his brilliant "Mercator Projection" which allowed the round Earth to be accurately depicted on a flat map. Near the end of his life he began work on an ambitious cosmography that would contain an account of the creation of the world a description of the universe descriptions of the countries and oceans of the world genealogies and political histories of the several countries and a chronology of the cosmos. Only the account of creation the chronology and maps of the known regions of the world came to fruition. Mercator having died before the work came to press it was completed by his heirs and published in 1595 with 107 maps. Leading Amsterdam map publisher Jodocus Hondius 1563-1612 acquired the plates in 1604 and issued the first Mercator-Hondius "Atlas" in 1606 with 37 maps he had engraved added to the original 107. Teacher and Hondius' brother-in-law Pieter van den Berg wrote the introduction and the descriptive text that appears on the versos of the maps. A 1611 edition increased the number of maps to 150 and another six were added in 1619. The hand-colored map included in our copy depicts the South Tyrol and Veneto regions including Lake Garda Verona Padua and Venice. It is accompanied with an essay by Norman J. W. Thrower 1919-2020 UCLA geography professor and cartographer describing the historical background of the atlas. Joel Silver in "Disbound and Dispersed" tells us that "the physical production of this leaf book is superb from the design by Vance Gerry to the presswork of Patrick Reagh.". Stone & Lorson unknown

19693792<p>A very uncommon map of the Sea of Tranquility area that would be the site of the first moon landing in 1969. According to a description of a related larger-scale map in a 2020 Bonham's auction "NASA mission planners created this internal Manned Spacecraft Center chart a few months before the flight in 1969."</p><p>The map encompasses the area from 14 degrees South to 14 degrees North Latitude and from 0 degrees to 42 degrees East Longitude. The coordinates of the Eagle's landing site were 0.675 degrees Latitude North and 23.47 degrees Longitude East – very near the center of the mapped area.</p><p>The map is numbered "MSC – 6238 – 69" in the lower right margin. As it was meant for internal use only the map appears to be significantly less common than the LAC Lunar Chart series and the USGS geologic chart series.
