2 sheets joined, float-mounted and framed (19 1/8 x 24 4/8 inches, full margins showing the plate mark). AN EXCEPTIONALLY FINE engraved detailed map of Africa and the Middle East, from the Mediterranean in the north-west, to Arabia and the Gulf of Hormuz in the east, showing all major place names, mountain ranges, rivers and lakes, the long dedication to Thomaso Ravenna within an elegant mannerist strapwork cartouche lower left, with a fine compass rose, and marking the Equator and Tropics. THE FIRST APPEARANCE IN PRINT OF THE MOST UP-TO-DATE DEPICTION OF AFRICA In 1546, the Venetian Council of Ten issued an order that a map of Africa be prepared for the "Sala del Scude" of the Palazzo Ducale (Doge's Palace). This task was entrusted to the foremost Italian cartographer of the sixteenth century, Giacomo Gastaldi. More than two-hundred years later, in the 1760s, Gastaldi's map of Africa, along with another of China that he executed several years later, was painted over and the original lost to posterity. It was preserved, however, in the form of this splendid map of Africa, finely engraved and published by Paolo Forlani in 1562. Gastaldi (fl. 1542-1565) was the principal cartographer of the Venetian school of mapmaking. He was a native of the Piedmont region who made his career in Venice, eventually becoming official Cosmographer to the Venetian Republic. One of the foremost authorities on sixteenth-century European mapmakers, Robert Karrow, has described him as "one of the most important cartographers of the sixteenth century. He was certainly the greatest Italian mapmaker of his age." Following in the footsteps of his great colleague Gastaldi, Paolo Forlani was a Venetian publisher of many important maps and charts in the Renaissance. It was in Italy, and particularly in Venice, that the map trade was most highly developed during the first half of the sixteenth century. Venice was the most active port in the world, and successful trading expeditions necessitated accurate maps. The city also had a thriving, cosmopolitan scholarly community that took a keen interest in geography and in following the expansion of world horizons brought about by the Age of Discovery. In the previous century Venice had already become a clearing-house for geographical information, and the development of cartography in the city was further impelled by the accomplishment of Venetian printers and engravers. Forlani was perhaps the most prolific producer of maps in the mid-sixteenth century, and largely responsible for diffusing advanced geographical information to other parts of Europe. He was much-sought after as an engraver and mapmaker, particularly as he was adept at the difficult art of engraving lettering. Consequently, he was employed by four of the leading publishers of the period to prepare maps for them -- Giovanni Francesco Camocio, Ferrando Bertelli, and Bolognini Zaltieri from Venice, as well as Claudio Duchetti from Rome. This map is a prime example of Forlani's finest work, characterized by crisp engraving, close attention to detail, and an elegant, linear aesthetic. Africa had long held the European popular imagination and, like the New World, was the target of many voyages of discovery. From the early fifteenth century, the nautical school of Henry the Navigator had been extending Portuguese knowledge of the African coastline. Beginning in the 1460s, the goal was to round that continent's southern extremity to gain easier access to the riches of India (mainly black pepper and other spices) through a reliable sea route. In 1482, Diogo Cão discovered the Congo River, reaching as far as Cape Santa Maria, and then in 1488 Bartolomeu Diaz rounded the Cape of Good Hope, proving that access to the Indian Ocean was possible. Finally, in 1497-8, Vasco da Gama culminated a generation of Portuguese sea exploration when he continued beyond Diaz's tracks up the east coast of Africa and successfully landed at the southwestern coast of the Indian su.

No Binding. Condición: Very Good. 13 sheets joined (12 map sheets and one title banner along the top edge) (41 x 55 4/8 inches; framed size 51 x 64 4/8 inches). Magnificent and extremely rare engraved wall-map, with traces of original hand-colour (expertly restored, with loss to the right hand part of the map, affecting the title, Europe and the North Atlantic, with loss in the area of Tierra del Fuego, the geographical detail for North America largely intact, relaid on modem linen on stretchers). VERY RARE WALL-MAP OF THE AMERICAS, DERIVED FROM GIACOMO GASTALDl'S LANDMARK MAP OF THE WORLD, PUBLISHED IN 1561. The early history of the plates is uncertain, as the map seems only to have existed in an early and incomplete proof form, of which but two examples are known (Museo Civico Correr, Venice, and the James Ford Bell Library, from the Harmsworth Collection). In the compilation of these earlier examples, the engraver seems to have omitted central North America, which would have been on the central sheet, and made the western sheet marry with the eastern sheet, thus conflating the continent west to east, which would certainly explain the limited circulation in this form. Burden believes that the map was first prepared by Giovanni Francesco Camocio, circa 1568, but the watermark on the Harmsworth copy is datable to the late 1580s, after Camocio's death, and therefore the printing is probably attributable to Donato Bertelli. It was not until the seventeenth century that the map seems to have been completed, as here, with the addition of additional sheets to complete the geographic coverage, particularly a central sheet for North America, and with titles inserted in the previously blank cartouche in the Pacific and along the upper border. In this form, attributed to the Venetian publisher Stefano Mozzo Scolari, the map is known in two states, each recorded in a single example. This example conforms with Burden's state 3, with the insertion of 'Stretto d'Anian' (modern Alaska), 'Nova Albion' (California) and 'Novo Amsterdam' for New York. The empty space in the Pacific Ocean contains a letterpress broadside description of the four continents, entitled "Dichiaratione delle qvattro parti del mondo di Giacomo Gastaldo raccolta da piv famosi cosmografi et historici". "The corrections and additions were certainly not made before the middle of the eighties of the 16th century, since we read the names La Florida and Virginia on the large new sheet. "The numerous legends, which are printed all over the map and give references to history of the discovery and the conditions of the various regions, have been discussed at length by Caraci, who found that they were derived from Ramusio. On the new sheet which presents the American South and Middlewest, are the following inscriptions (besides many interesting place names as S. Agustino, Chalaqua, Tastalifa, Xualatina, etc.): On the spot corresponding to New Mexico "La piu vicina provincia chiamata sette città secondo Marco Nizza, a buon paese, ma Francesco Vaschir riferisce che siano Luoghi di poco valore, et sono sotto la giurisditione della nova Granada". More to the right a strange quadruped is described as "Questa fiera bestia si chiama Suca rache la quale vedendosi seguita da cacciatore si piglia adosso i figli e fugge per salvarli" (Harry RAnson Center online). Burden refers to only two complete sets of the four continents, one in the University of Texas, and one in a private collection, dated 1662. THIS MAP, THE LARGEST MAP OF THE AMERICAS PUBLISHED BY A MEMBER OF THE 'LAFRERl' SCHOOL', IS THEREFORE OF THE GREATEST RARITY. This is a further example of the 1662 state. This map is THE LARGEST MAP OF ASIA PUBLISHED BY A MEMBER OF THE 'LAFRERI SCHOOL', and of the greatest rarity, POSSIBLY ONE OF TWO KNOWN COPIES. Catalogued by Kate Hunter.

13 sheets joined (12 map sheets and one title banner along the top edge) (map size: 42 x 57 4/8 inches; framed size: 48 x 83 4/8 inches). Magnificent and extremely rare engraved wall-map, with traces of original hand-colour (expertly restored with only minor loss to the image). VERY RARE WALL-MAP OF EUROPE, DERIVED FROM GIACOMO GASTALDl'S LANDMARK MAP OF THE WORLD, PUBLISHED IN 1561. Engraved by Stefano Scolari, "who lived in the Street San Zulian in Venice at the end of the 16th century. From other maps he is known to have worked for Donato Bertelli, but was apparently also a cartographical publisher for his own account. The only other large 16th century map of Europe mentioned as forming part of the set of the four continents in the Museo Correr in Venice is defective and does obviously not comprise the sheet where Scolari's signature appears on the present map. It may even be a variant edition, since Caraci speaks of a dedication which is not found here. "Europe is presented in Mercator's projection, but gives a fairly good idea of the form of the continent and is crowded with place names. Besides a great quantity of ships pictured on the surrounding seas, Scolari has embellished the space of the Atlantic with a beautiful representation of Philip II of Spain as ruler of the waves, driving in a chariot-like boat which is drawn by two horses" (Harry Ransom Center online). Caraci, Tab. Geog. Vet., II, pp. 37-38.

1st Edition. Single sheet (7 x 9 3/8 inches to the neat line), full margins, showing the plate-mark. A fine engraved map of the Gulf of Venice, centered on Venice and showing the coastal islands rivers, lakes, mountains, towns and cities (small marginal waterstain top right). A beautiful map of the Gulf of Venice from the first edition of Gioseppe Moleto's Latin re-translation of Ptolemy after Bilibald Pirckheymer, published by Valgrisi in Venice in 1562. The map is an enlarged copy of the Gastaldi's map from the Venice 1548 edition made by Giulio and Livio Sanuto, and first published as such in Girolamo Ruscelli's 1561 edition of Ptolemy. Giacomo Gastaldi (ca.1500-1565), was known as "Cosmographer to the Venetian Republic, then a powerhouse of commerce and trade. He sought the most up to date geographical information available, and became one of the greatest cartographers of the sixteenth century" (Burden). Gastaldi was, and styled himself, 'Piemontese', and this epithet appears often after his name. Born at the end of the fifteenth or the beginning of the sixteenth century, he does not appear in any records until 1539, when the Venetian Senate granted him a privilege for the printing of a perpetual calendar. His first dated map appeared in 1544, by which time he had become an accomplished engineer and cartographer. Karrow has argued that Gastaldi's early contact with the celebrated geographical editor, Giovanni Battista Ramusio, and his involvement with the latter's work, "Navigationi et Viaggi", prompted him to take to cartography as a full-time occupation. In any case Gastaldi was helped by Ramusio's connections with the Senate, to which he was secretary, and the favourable attitude towards geography and geographers in Venice at the time.
