• AN ANTIQUE MAP, "TOTIUS AMERICAE
  AN ANTIQUE MAP, "TOTIUS AMERICAE SEPTENTRIONALIS ET MER...AN ANTIQUE MAP, "Totius Americae Septentrionalis et Meridionalis," NUREMBERG, EARLY 18TH CENTURY, hand colored engraving on paper, published by Johann Baptist Homann (1664-1724), the figural title cartouche showing a North American Indian with Dutch windmills and settled farmland at his back and at left a South American Indian, and at center a scene of Trade between Indigenous and Explorers, duly noted are the personal weapons of war, and two types of armadillos. 20" x 23" Note: Johann Baptist Homann (March 20, 1664 - July 1, 1724) was the most prominent and prolific map publisher of the 18th century. Homann was born in Oberkammlach, a small town near Kammlach, Bavaria, Germany. As a young man Homann studied in a Jesuit school and nursed ambitions of becoming a Dominican priest before converting to Protestantism in 1687. Following his conversion, Homann moved to Nuremberg and found employment as a notary. Around 1693 Homan briefly relocated to Vienna, where he lived and studied printing and copper plate engraving until 1695. Afterwards he returned to Nuremberg where, in 1702, he founded the commercial publishing firm that would bear his name. In the next five years Homann produced hundreds of maps and developed a distinctive style characterized by heavy detailed engraving, elaborate allegorical cartouche work, and vivid hand color. The Homann firm, due to the lower cost of printing in Germany, was able to undercut the dominant French and Dutch publishing houses while matching the diversity and quality of their output. By 1715 Homann's rising star caught the attention of the Holy Roman Emperor Charles the VI, who appointed him Imperial Cartographer. In the same year he was also appointed a member of the Royal Academy of Sciences in Berlin. Homann's prestigious title came with a number of important advantages including access to the most up to date cartographic information as well as the "Privilege." The Privilege was a type of early copyright offered to a few individuals by the Holy Roman Emperor. Though not as sophisticated as modern copyright legislation, the Privilege did offer a kind of limited protection for several years. Most all J. B. Homann maps printed between 1715 and 1730 bear the inscription "Cum Priviligio" or some variation. Following Homann's death in 1726, the management of the firm passed to his son Johann Christoph Homann. The present map shows settlements, physical features, political divisions in North and South America and the West Indies; a portion of the coasts of Europe and Africa; islands in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and settlements. Includes notes, dates of discovery, and illustrations. Condition: Mild expected wear, but overall in very good condition, wear commensurate with age.

• 1730 ORIGINAL SEUTTER MAP NEW
  1730 ORIGINAL SEUTTER MAP NEW ENGLAND, NYOriginal 1730 hand-colored map in Latin and Dutch "Recens edita totius Novi Belgii in America Septentrionali," by Matthew Sutter (German), illustrating the north-eastern region of what is now the United States and a small part of Canada showing some towns and some poor cartography. A cartouche to the left of the title shows native Americans and gods bringing gifts to the King of England. Underneath the cartouche is a bird's-eye view of New York City ("Neu Jorck five Neu Amsterdam"). Dotted lines delineate some state boundaries. Scattered across the map are named locations of many Indian Tribes, some easily translated (Irocois= Iroquois, Mahikans= Mohicans, Sennecaas=Senecas.) Others are more mysterious: "Sequins, Minquaas, Tockwokhs, Kuscarawaoks,Conitttekocks." There exist current reproductions of this map, but of different size and garishly colored. The map has a band of southern Canada at top, and ends near the Virginia border at the bottom. It is 25-1/2" x 20-1/2" paper size with 21-3/4" x 18-3/4" image size. Unframed. Image shows plate edge depression in paper around perimeter. This is apparently the second state map missing the words "Chalcographie Augustani" at the bottom of the title with that area shaded in with vertical lines. Excellent condition, no foxing. The very edge of the paper shows some age darkening, otherwise it is evenly off-white. The map must have been folded into quarters; fold marks still show, but none are separating and they are barely visible. Hand coloring quite good. shipping info This item will need to be shipped by a packing company of your choice. We maintain a list of reliable shippers, or you may choose your own.
