Anson, George

The following engravings -maps, charts and views- were used in the 1748 first edition of "A voyage round the world", either in the book or in the separate available atlas. They are wide margined copies in very good condition, except a faint browning in the folds ( due to the glue used).

Berckenrode, B.F. van

Ducatus Geldriae novissima descriptio

55 x 46 cm, modern hand colour, Amsterdam, engraved 1629, printed 1636. Regional map mainly of Gelderland and Utrecht compiled under the direction of Henricus Hondius (1597-1651) from the 1636 English language edition of the Mercator/Hondius Atlas, Or A Geographicke Description of the World.  Unquestionably the most famous cartographer of all time, Gerard Mercator (1512-1594) envisioned his Atlas even before his friend Abraham Ortelius began work on his Theatrum, but it was late to publish, limited in geographic coverage, and never achieved commercial success in his lifetime or under the administration of his sons.  However, with the addition of some 40 maps by the Hondius firm which purchased Mercator's plates from his heirs in 1604 an expanded and reissued "Mercator/Hondius" Atlas was published to great acclaim, eventually issued in nearly 50 editions in several languages. An scarce and important map.

Blaeu, W

Hollandia comitatus

63x53 cm, 1662 in the Latin edition of the Atlas Major. This map is a close copy of the 1629 map of Henricus Hondius (1597-1651) and was included in many editions of Blaeu atlases published subsequently by Blaeu's son and successor Joan Blaeu. This cartouche (which was copied by Blaeu but curiously without any text) credits Balthasar Berckenrode as the author of the map on the Hondius original. There are two tiny areas of paper loss from old repairs in centrefold area. In addition there a few small globules of what appears to be white paint in the blank cartouche and the lion rampant. Margins exhibit some browning and agetoning.
