Single sheet (20 x 23 4/8 inches; 14 4/8 x 19 inches). Fine engraved map of Guyana, the title, scale and imprint within fine mannerist and allegorical cartouches, the ocean decorated with a large compass rose and three galleons, all with original hand-colour in outline. A fine and attractive map of Guyana, showing Lake Parime, a very small El Dorado, and a long Amazon River. Although Columbus sighted Guayan on his third voyage it was settled by the Dutch rather than the Spanish. Tales of the mythical city of gold, El Dorado, led Sir Walter Raleigh to modern Venezuela. Although the city was not found, Raleigh argued that Guiana had the potential to yield many riches, and be an advantageous English stronghold against the Spanish: "Guiana is a Country that hath yet her Maydenhead, never sackt, turned, nor wrought, the face of the earth hath not beene torne, not the virtue and salt of the soyule spent by manurance, the graves have not beene opened for gold, the mines not broken with sledges, nor their Images puld down out of their temples. It hath never been entered by any armie of strength, and never conquered or possessed by any Chrisitian Prince. It is besides so defensible, that if two fortes be builded in one of the provinces which I have seen, the flood setteth in so neere the banke, where the channel also lyeth, that no shippe can passé up, but with Pikes length of the Artillerie, first of the one, and afterwards of the other." (Raleigh pages 96-97). Shakespeare is believed to have obtained his knowledge of the "still vexed Bermoothes" for "The Tempest" from Raleigh's account of Guyana. Publication of Blaeu's New World Atlas, or "Atlas Novus" was originally begun by Joannes's father Willem Blaeu with the publication in 1635 of two volumes (consisting of The World, Europe, Arctic, Scandinavia, Russia, Eastern Europe, Germany and the Low Countries; and France, Spain, Asia, Africa and America), and published in four languages (German, Dutch, Latin and French). After succeeding his father, Joannes Blaeu progressively expanded the "Atlas Novus" to six volumes by 1655, and this formed the first half the "Atlas Maior," extending to 11 or 12 volumes by 1662.

A fine and attractive map of modern Panama and Columbia.

The first European to explore the Isthmus was the Spanish explorer Rodrigo de Galván Bastidas in 1501. The following year Christopher Columbus also landed on the northern coast.

Top edge trimmed to neat line. In very good condition. Outstanding view of a baroque pleasure palaces and garden from 'Theatrum Statuum Regiae Sabaudiae'. The series features maps, topographic views of Turin and cities and towns of Piedmont and Savoy. One of the most prolific Dutch mapmakers of his time, Willem Blaeu (1571-1638) started one of the most famous map publishing firms of the 17th century. It was at this time that the Dutch controlled the map trade, and their ornate and beautiful maps had immense popularity. Blaeu and his family worked out of Amsterdam and was instrumental in driving this dominance in his lifetime, and this legacy was continued by his sons. "Theatrum Statuum Regiae Sabaudiae" was published by his son Johannes (c. 1599-1673), who took over the business upon his father's death.

Fine engraved map of Venezuela the title and scale with fine mannerist and allegorical cartouches, the ocean decorated with two compass roses and a galleon, the land with birds and animals, all with original hand-colour in outline. It was on his third voyage in 1498 that Columbus discovered mainland America, exploring the coastline of what is now known as Venezuela: "Great signs are these of the Terrestrial Paradise, for the site conforms to the opinion of the holy and wise theologians whom I have mentioned. And likewise, the [other] signs conform very well, for I have never read or heard of such a large quantity of fresh water being inside and in such close proximity to salt water; the very mild temperateness also corroborates this; and if the water of which I speak does not proceed from Paradise then it is an even greater marvel, because I do not believe such a large and deep river has ever been known to exist in this world" (recorded by Zamora, Margarita (1993).

A splendidly decorative and striking map of the areas of Lothian and Linlithgow in Scotland by premier seventeenth century Dutch cartographer Joan Blaeu, from his wonderful multi-volume work entiled "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum" or "Novus Atlas". The map centres on Edinburgh, and takes in the outlying towns of Rosslyn, North Berwick, Haddington, Linlithgow and Dunbar. The map is enhanced by a number of decorative features; a compass rose in The Firth of Forth, scrolled title cartouche and mileage scale and a most attractive dedication. The Blaeu maps of Scotland are uncommon, as they were only produced between 1654, the date of their first printing, and 1672, the year of the fire that destroyed the Blaeu printing house. This is a much shorter period of time than for most of the other Blaeu maps. Size: 530 x 625 mm. Copperplate engraving with beautiful early hand colour. Dutch text on verso. Some water staining and mild damp stains to margins, small repaired tear to lower central margin, otherwise in very good condition.

Original hand-coloured, double-page engraved maps, blank on verso, fine impression. Slightly age toned. In 1694 Pieter Schenk acquired a number of copperplates from the Blaeu estate and published them together with maps from Janssonius and Visscher in his "Atlas Contractus". Schenk was an imminent Dutch publisher and cartographer. This is the 'New and Accurate Map of Brasil' from the atlas. This handsome map is interesting from the view point that there is next to no cartographic detail or information beyond the very edges of the coastline. Rhumb lines, a compass rose and a pair of galleons are engraved in the Atlantic ocean. The lower right corner is filled with a wonderfully elaborate title cartouche and assorted mileage scales.

Single sheet (20 x 23 4/8 inches; 14 4/8 x 18 4/8 inches). Fine engraved map of Virginia, the title, "Notarum explicato" and scale within mannerist strapwork cartouches, decorated with a vignette of Powhatan's Council upper left and a portrait of a Sasquesahanough Indian middle right after the drawings of John White, also with the Royal arms without motto, Latin text on verso (short marginal tear lower left, not affecting the image). Blaeu's issue of the "first and most important" (Burden) derivative of John Smith's map of Virginia originally published in 1612. The original plate was engraved for Jodocus Hondius Jr, and purchased by Willem Blaeu in 1629 whereafter it was published by his firm many times over the next forty-two years. This issue is from from Blaeu's "Theatrum orbis terrarum, sive atlas novus. Pars secunda" of 1655 (Burden 193). The Smith/Hondius/Blaeu map of Virginia is one of the most important printed maps of America ever produced and one of the greatest influence. "it became the prototype for the area for half a century until Augustine Herrman's map of 1673, it was seen widely and inspired much interest in the fledgling Virginia colony, influencing considerably its eventual success. Consequently the east coast of North America became dominated by the English. To this day the maps is still used by archeologists to locate native Indian villages. It records 166 of them, and is remarkably detailed" (Burden 164).
