Show moreWorld map from the 1840 General Atlas of the World published by Adam & Charles Black. The map is a good reflection of contemporary cartographic knowledge of the world. At this time the coastlines of the world with the exception of the polar regions had largely been explored. For this reason depiction of the polar regions are absent for the Antarctic and mostly unfinished in the case of the Arctic. The interiors of central Asia, South America, the western United States, Australia, and especially Africa are largely speculative. The continents are outlined in different colors. Later editions of this map in Blacks General Atlas used solid colors to define the continents. This map was engraved by George Aikman who also produced the illustrations for the 7th edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica also published by A & C Black. Publisher: Best known for publishing Whos Who and the seventh edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica, the Edinburgh based firm of Adam & Charles Black was founded in 1807 and also published a series of popular travel guides (Blacks Guides) as well as the General Atlas of the World from 1840-1898 for which this map was made. engd. by G.

Circular world map with Jersusalem at the center, based on a portolan chart by Pietro Vesconte which originally appeared in the Liber secretorum fidelium crucis super Terrae Sanctae recuperatione et conservatione, by Marino Sanudo. [World Sphere]. Map of the world placing Jerusalem, the centre and showing three continents namely; Europe, Asia and Africa. The map is roughly made and this is probably due to limited knowledge of the area. For example Africa is drawn like a shoe, there is much exageration at the south. Arabia is represented in rectangular shape, with Mecca as the centre of Arabian peninsula, two other towns are marked as Cede port (part of Jeddah) and St Catarina, this is placed not very far from Jeddah. There are lines from south, north, west and east making point of inter-section at Jerusalem. Size: 34 x 34.40 cm. Published in 1611. Coloured. Latin. From: Gesta Dei per Francos ... [Edited by Jacques Bongars]. Hanoviæ : typis Wechelianis, apud heredes I. Aubrii, 1611. Title supplied by cataloger.

Show moreDouble-page engraved twin-hemispherical world map, elaborate strap work borders, armillary sphere, compass rose, galleon and sea monster, all hand-colored by a contemporary hand, French text on verso, Rumold Mercator's world map condensed his father's great world map of 1569 into double hemispherical form. It first appeared in Isaac Casaubon's edition of Strabo's Geographia (Geneva, 1587), and was then incorporated into editions of Mercator's atlas from 1595 to 1630 with the plate unchanged, also this Map engraving is a model of clarity and neatness, with typical cursive flourishes to the lettering of the sea names' (Shirley). The North Pole is illustrated as a landmass surrounding a sea from which four rivers radiate, and there is a well depicted North West passage. A huge southern continent and the bulge in the south west coast of South America indicate the influence of Gerard Mercator. Relief shown pictorially. "Duysburghi Clivorum typis aeneis." Plate was engraved in 1587, this impression likely 1619 (note cracks at top edge and French text on verso, see R. Shirley, The mapping of the world, p. 179 #157) Decorative border. Hand colored.
