Show moreJodocus Hondius was a Flemish Dutch cartographer and publisher of maps and a central figure in the golden age of Dutch cartography. He was responsible for publishing the maps of Gerhard Mercator, the single most important cartographer of the age of discovery. The map depicts the realm of the legendary Christian Emperor Prester John in Abyssinia, an object of much speculation in the middle ages up to the early modern period. The map abounds in the fantasies of the time about the interior of Africa, in addition to Prester John there are the lands of the Amazons throughout the southern regions, a nearby lake named Zaire is inhabited by Tritons and Sirens and cannibals threaten the then recently Christianized kingdom of the Congo on the Atlantic coast of Africa, here called the Ethiopian Ocean (Oceanus Aethiopicus) and is shown in more detail in the inset map (possibly derived from Filippo Pigafettas map of the Congo itself derived from the reports of the Portuguese explorer Duarte Lopez). The map also depicts part of Arabia, up to Jeddah on the Red Sea, including Mecca to the north, the area of the Straits of Bab el-Mandeb and along the coast of Yemen up to the area of Dhofar in present day Oman. The modern day Gulf of Aden is here named the Arabian Gulf (Sinus Arabicus). Distances are given in German miles and Spanish leagues. This is a beautiful engraved map of Eastern Africa showing the legendary Kingdom of Prester John, who is said that he was ready to help the Crusaders in their campaign against Muslims. An interesting mistake depicting the deformation of lake Tanganyika and lake Victoria Being very small. The number of rivers is exegerrated.

Show moreFirst edition, first issue, of an extensively illustrated book devoted to hunting and falconry. It is charmingly designed, with rococo decorations, probably the main reason it has been described as a "well printed book" (Schwerdt), but the plates are skillfully engraved and lightly inked so that they reveal every detail of the engraving. The first part is devoted to the hunting of a wide variety of animals including the deer, boar, hare, wolf, fox, ermine, etc., while the second includes an extensive essay on falconry. The illustrations show hunting scenes, hunting dogs, traps, the various animals hunted and details of their horns, hooves, feces, etc., and in the second part 13 plates showing birds of prey, including a Eurasian eagle-owl and several species of falcon. The folding plate shows a deer-hunting scene. The engraver is erroneously identified by some bibliographers as "Hallou". "C'est à peu près le seul ouvrage cynégétigue illustré qui est été publié en France au XVIIIe siècle" (Souhart). The book was reissued with a new title-page in 1776. - In fine condition, with only occasional very slight foxing foxing. The binding very good, with a small tear repaired, a couple tiny worm holes and the corners bumped. Main Heritage Shelves General SK25 .G68 1769 Book Item-ID: i16828021 BIB-ID: 1508101 Show less
