The plates are spectacular. - Atlas to the English edition of the report of the famous voyage around the world. Cook Bougainville and La Pérouse contributed decisively to the exploration of the Pacific. <br /> On the unexpected publication of this famous voyage at Paris in the previous year 1797 there was considerable competition among English publishers to bring out the English translation. Three different translations were made and published during 1798-99 and different engravers were employed for making the plates. Stockdale's appeared first in June 1798. Robinson's edition of 1799 is the most esteemed edition in English later editions being usually based on it."

16525476Antwerp 1652. 4to 18 x 14.5 cm. Jan Huyssens Later 17th-century mottled calf sewn on 4 double cords gold-tooled spine and board edges. With a double-page letterpress title-page with a frame built up from typographic ornaments and 39 unnumbered double-page engraved maps of the northern and southern Low Countries by Jacob Aertsz. Colom each map coloured in outline. Interleaved with 38 blank leaves and with a manuscript table of contents 3 3 blank pp. at the end. Double-page title-page and 39 double-page maps. Second known copy of a pocket-atlas published at Antwerp but containing a selection of the maps of the Low Countries originally published by Jacob Aertsz. Colom at Amsterdam in 1635 with the title De Vyerighe Colom the title Colom had first used for his famous pilot guide in 1632 and the name he had given to his Amsterdam printing office where he worked from 1622 to his death in 1673 as a bookseller printer and mapmaker. The only other copy known is at the Royal Library in Brussels. The Vyerighe Colom with 47 maps and 3 plates and with extensive text in Dutch and French went through several editions in the 17th century but it was once thought that all editions before his death in 1673 had been published at Amsterdam by Colom himself. The Royal Library copy like the present one contains 39 maps but each contains one map not in the other so there are forty in total: the present copy includes Drentiae not in the Royal Library copy which includes Le terres entre la Meuse Vahal et Rhin not present here. The maps are also bound in a different order.The present edition is of great interest and gives cause to review Colom's activities. It is printed from Coloms plates so Colom may have licenced the Antwerp publisher to produce a variant edition of his Vyerighe Colom to broaden his market possibly reacting to the signing of the Peace of Münster in 1648 which finally ended the Eighty Years War and opened trade and communication between the northern and southern Low Countries. Jan Huyssens made an entirely new and practical atlas out of Colom's Vyerighe Colom. He omitted all text and the three plates that do not show maps and selected only maps of general interest leaving out the map of the ancient Low Countries and such typical Dutch maps as the separate maps of the polders De Zype Beemster Wormer Purmer Byllemermeer and Waterland also - at least in the present copy - completely rearranging the maps more in order of their geographical sequence. The title suggests that Huyssens originally planned to include a text so the present extremely rare edition may be the only surviving result of an abandoned project.l Koeman & Van der Krogt 365.23 IIIB pp. 644-645 2 copies: the present & Royal Library Brussels; UniCat 99095764 Royal Library Brussels only; cf.

A surprisingly rare pocket atlas illustrating the theatre of the "tegenwoordigen" present war probably meaning the War of the Austrian Succession 1740-1748 but possibly the Seven Years' War 1756-1763. The title-page notes that it is suited for officers travellers and lovers of geography to carry in a pocket. The text in Dutch gives a geographic description only of "Duytsland" Germany including Austria Bohemia and a few other areas whereas the maps also cover the Low Countries the English Channel northwest France and to the east as far as Warsaw Krakow and Belgrade. The 23 detail maps were designed so that they could be assembled with the key map to make a single wall map whose cartographic image would measure 53 x 90 cm.With a contemporary owner's bookplate embossed stamp and library labels. With the text leaves somewhat browned not affecting the maps or the plate with scales and the first 2 leaves slightly worn but generally in good condition.

This is one of the most beautiful works of its kind produced in the 16th century and is the ï¬rst to have maps engraved on copper rather than on woodblocks. "The popularity of Bordone's Isolario brought forth a successor which from both the cartographical and topographical point of view was far more distinguished. Porcacchi's description of the "most famous islands of the world" included the areas represented in the other atlas and devoted the third book to islands of the New World of the Pacific and the Indian Ocean. " "The ï¬rst world map is a ï¬nely-executed reduction of Camocio's large world map of 1567 one of the last in the long line of derivatives from Gastaldis prototype of 1546.

The maps are printed from the same plates with the exception of Ptolemy's map of the world for which Malomba had returned to the original conical projection of Ptolemy. Moreover one map is added: the map of "Territorio di Roma". In general the maps are enlarged copies of Gastaldi's maps from the edition of 1548 which came out in 8vo. The Ruscelli translation contains an important innovation namely the division of the world map into two parts one for the Old World and one for the New as seen on the plate "Tavola Universal" depicting the 2 hemispheres.

The first edition contained only 18 maps whereas this 1794 final edition contained 26.</p><p>"<em>The English Pilot</em> was the first major sea-atlas produced in England. In its final form it consisted of five separate books and <em>The Fourth Book</em> was the first wholly English sea-atlas of American waters. Although the idea originated with John Seller he was involved in producing only the first two books. William Fisher and John Thornton produced <em>The Fourth Book</em> in 1689 and their successors Mount and Page continued to print it for over 100 years Seller's proposal for a 'Sea Waggoner' resulted in the production of <em>The English Pilot</em> which consisted of five separate volumes with a common generic title. Book One included the southern navigation and Book Two the northern. Book Three was concerned with the Orient Book Four with America and Book Five contained Africa. Each book or volume has its own independent publishing history and appeared in numerous editions. The five separate books constitute a set only by virtue of the general title and under that title <em>The English Pilot</em> is the first great sea-atlas produced in England. Of the five books the fourth has the longest publication history and is the best known" Verner p. v.</p><p>Throughout its history <em>The Fourth Book</em> showed very few changes in textual matter and the content of the volume was established between the editions of 1706 and 1721.</p><p>The present example of the 1794 edition is complete and contains the following maps see Verner pp. xv-xx for full list of editions and charts from 1689 to 1794:</p><p>1.
