Show moreThis Detailed map example of the Turkish Empire at its height including territories in Balkans, Anatolia, Levant, North Africa, Extends from Sicily and Italy in the West to the Black & Caspian Seas in the North and the Gulf of Aden, Red Sea and Saudi Arabia peninsula in the South and centered on Cyprus. Willem Janszoon started the map publishing business of the Blaeu family in Amsterdam in 1599. With the Mercator plates he acquired, he published Atlantis Appendix in 1630 and Theatrum Orbis Terrarum in 1635. After his death, his son Joan Blaeu (1596 - 1673) published the Atlas Major which they have been working on. This Atlas is considered the most magnificent work of its kind. Relief shown pictorially. Bar scales given in "milliaria Germanica communia."

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.
