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.

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.

First edition thus stated “New Edition†which in actuality was an updated and revised edition with new engraved plates executed by W.G.

Burritt 1794-1838 an American astronomer and mathematician created his textbook and the later atlas as a low-cost alternative to celestial globes which were often too expensive for many schools in Jacksonian America. The atlas could be purchased for $ 1.25 at the time and the Geography of the Heavens textbooks and Atlases would prove immensely popular in classrooms up until 1876. Adapting most of his constellation figures from Alexander Jamieson’s A Celestial Atlas 1822 Burritt included a plan of the Solar System Celestial maps of the skies in January-March October-December April-June July-September South Pole North Pole and Planisphere of the Whole Heavens on Mercator’s Projection. This was the last decorative celestial reference in the 19th century and even served as inspiration of H.P. Lovecraft who notes it as prized possession in letter to Maurice Moe in 1915.

The work was sufficiently in demand to justify 37 legitimate editions from 1689 to 1794 and three pirated editions. All editions are rare. During the history of this title its charts underwent numerous changes. 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.

Printed softcovers stapled and paper reinforcement at gutter margin some minor toning & soiling to fore-edges edgewear to spine minor scuffing and a couple removed label ghosting still VG- bright copy. First edition of this remarkably scarce plat map atlas for the Matanuska coal fields and township sites surveyed by Walker & McDaniel during their surveys following those on the Kenai Peninsula. By 1912 with the act establishing Alaska as a U.S. Territory and in 1914 the authorization to construct an Alaska Railroad there became an increased need and demand for coal. The Matanuska mines located about 45 miles northeast of Anchorage first began production in 1916 and would stay in continuous production through both World War I and World War II and well into the 20th Century re-opening again in the 21st Century. Not only do these maps show available government lease sites for coal mines but also available Township sites for homesteaders as required by the original Homestead Acts of 1866 and the 1916 Act for Alaska requiring surveys and resurveys to accurately determine boundaries of unsold railroad lands and identify their boundaries.
