162621912<p>London: Are to be sold in pops-head alley against the Exchange by G. Humble 1626 but 1627-1632. 400 by 510mm. 15.75 by 20 inches. The first English printed map of Asia Double-page engraved map with hand-colour. The first English printed map of the continent of Asia from the first atlas compiled and published by an Englishman Speed's 'Prospect'. The map is heavily influenced by Hondius' 1623 map and inherits the gaps in his geographical understanding of Asia: Korea is presented as a peninsula and an anonymous stretch of water separates Asia from America identified only as a blending of 'The Tartarian Sea' and 'The West Ocean'. In India one finds the mythical 'Lake Ciamay' a common feature of European maps of Asia from the 16th to the 18th c. the imagined source of the major rivers of south-east Asia. The map is not without topographical accuracy however. In China the Great Wall of China is depicted described as 'a bulwarke against the suddaine infall of ye Tartars on this side'. Vignettes in the border at the top of the map depict bird's-eye views of important towns among them 'Goa' and 'Aden'. Illustrated in the borders along the sides of the map are costumed figures. Accompanying text in English 'The Description of Asia' is printed on the reverse. John Speed 1552-1629 was the outstanding cartographer of his age. By trade a merchant tailor but by proclivity a historian it was the patronage of Sir Fulke Greville poet and statesman that allowed him to pursue this interest in earnest. His 'Theatre of Great Britain' first published in 1611 or 1612 was the first large-scale printed atlas of the British Isles. The 'Prospect of the Most Famous Parts of the World' from which the present work is drawn appeared in 1627 bound with the 'Theatre' and is the first world atlas compiled by an Englishman to be published in England. Engraved in Amsterdam many of the maps are anglicized versions of works by Dutch makers in distinctive carte-à-figure style featuring borders with figures in local costume and city views.

1627337000London: George Humble 1627. unbound. Map. Engraving with hand coloring. Image measures 15 3/8" x 20".<br/> <br/> This fascinating 1626 map of Asia by John Speed is the first British map of Asia. The map presents the entire continent from the Mediterranean east to include Japan and the East Indies. The map presents many speculations and common conventions found at a time when parts of Asia were largely unexplored by Europeans.<br> <br> Korea is presented as an elongated peninsula while the Kamchatka Peninsula is entirely absent. The map shows Japan and a fairly detailed depiction of the East Indies. Further west the Caspian Sea is presented along its East-West axis as per the practice at the time. The Great Wall of China is depicted in a grand style. Throughout several kingdoms important cities rivers lakes islands mountains and other topographical features are noted.<br> <br> One of the most interesting cartographic feature on this map is the appearance of Lake Ciamay or Lake Chiamay near northeast India. This mythical lake appeared on maps from the 16th to late 18th century and was believed to be the source of the great rivers of Southeast Asia.<br> <br> Illustrations of ships and sea monsters are included. The map is surrounded on the left and right with illustrations of the costumes and people from various parts of the continent. Along the top border eight city views are included detailing Candy Goa Damascus Jerusalem Ormus Bantam Aden and Macao.<br> <br> Engraved by Abraham Goos 1590 - 1643 a master engraver was the son of Pieter Goos and Margareta van den Keere which were both from map families. Appears in Speed's important "Prospect of the Most Famous Parts of the World". The map is in good condition. Archival repair to closed tear at lower margin near centerfold. Minor staining at edges not affecting the image. English text on verso.<br> <br> John Speed 1552-1629 is widely considered to be the most famous English cartographer of the 17th century.
