Two sheets joined, float mounted and framed (23 1/8 x 36 1/8 inches to the neat line, margins showing the plate-mark). Fine engraved map of the Southern Hemisphere, with six fine insets of plans of important port cities including Veracruz, Rio de Janeiro, and Havana, an exceptionally fine vignettes of Mexico City, and the Cape o…f Good Hope. A MAGNIFICENT LARGE SCALE 18TH CENTURY DUTCH MAP OF THE WORLD. Issued separately and EXCEPTIONALLY RARE. Based in part on de Fer's also extremely rare 1713 wall map, this is the third issue, with the inset city plans replacing a vignette of Niagara Falls and the publisher's imprint below the title. Hendrick de Leth began his cartographic career working for the foremost family printing company in 17th and 18th-century Amsterdam, the Visscher firm. The family of Visscher was one of the most distinguished of all 17th-century cartographic firms, and a major player in the era now considered the golden age of Dutch mapmaking. In the late 1600's, a period of great geographical discovery, Amsterdam became an international center of the arts and of cartography, with engravers and printers produced magnificent maps and charts of every kind. The fields of artistic production and mapmaking were arguably more seamlessly united during this era than any period before or since, as the strong competition among publishers meant that maps not only had to be scrupulously accurate, but also visually appealing. In this milieu, a number of venerable firms, including those established by Blaeu, Jansson, Hondius, as well as Visscher, competed for the ever-expanding market for maps and atlases. The firm founded by Nicholas Visscher set standards for exceptional quality that few others were able to equal, and Hendrick de Leth, who eventually rose to assume control of the Visscher publishing house in the 18th century, maintained the company's standards for excellence during a period when Amsterdam's cartographic preeminence was just beginning to be challenged by the French school of scientific cartography. Boasting advanced geographical information, fine engraving and coloring, and striking decoration, this map is one of de Leth's foremost works, and a fundamental example the best in 18th-century Dutch cartography. Encompassing much of the world, including all of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, it includes a wealth of geographical, historical, practical and anecdotal information, including commercial sea routes and the paths of famous explorers like Magellan, as well as inset plans of important port cities including Veracruz, Rio de Janeiro, and Havana. One cartouche at lower center is surmounted by a plan of Mexico City, while another, at lower right, shows an atmospheric view of the dramatic coast of the Cape of Good Hope. Decorative flourishes include cherubs bearing inscribed informational banners, magnificent strapwork designs, wild animals and allegorical figures. This is a magnificent and highly engaging map by one of the last prominent mapmakers from the golden age of Dutch cartography. McLaughlin 220; Norwich 320; Tooley (Amer) p. 133, 94; Tooley (MCC-23) 75. Catalogued by Kate Hunter.

PLAN TRES EXACT DE LA VILLE FAMEUSE MARCHANDE D'AMSTERDAM [very exact plan of the famous merchant city of Amsterdam]. Copper engraving printed on two sheets, made by Hendrik de Leth, published in 1783. Coloured by a later hand. Size: 57.5 × 88 cm. On 24 and 27 April 1734, the following advertisement appeared in the Amsterdamsche… Courant: "In Amsterdam, at the Beurssluys, Hendrik de Leth now publishes an entirely new and accurate plan of the city of Amsterdam, with many additions not found on any previous maps; adorned on either side with the coats of arms of the Honourable and Most Noble Gentlemen Burgomasters of this city, from the Reformation to the present day, carefully reviewed by notable connoisseurs." Buyers could choose between a luxurious versionflanked by coats of arms of the city's mayorsand a more modest version without these heraldic panels. This example concerns the latter, without coats of arms. Among many competitors (such as Covens & Mortier), Hendrik de Leth managed to produce a reliable map that was particularly useful within the city's administrative apparatus. Despite its elegant French title, likely intended for ceremonial or representative purposes, the rest of the print is entirely in Dutch, making it more accessible to professional and municipal users. Below the title appears the phrase: "Gravée et mis au jour Par Henry de Leth a l'enseigne du Pecheur" which translates as: "Engraved and brought to light by Hendrik de Leth under the sign of the Fisherman." This refers to the former publishing house of Nicolaes Visscher II, which retained that name even after his death in 1702. Both Hendrik de Leth and his father Andries had worked in Visscher's shop during his lifetime. After Visscher's passing, his widow Elisabeth Verseyl continued the business until 1726. Around 1720, however, Andries de Leth had already taken over its daily operations. When he died in 1731, his son Hendrik assumed control and continued using the well-established name. The map itself is exceptionally clear and legible, with only the principal buildings shown in elevation. De Leth based his city plan on an older model, but completely redesigned the decorative elements. One subtle innovation is the way he added cast shadows to the engraved buildings in elevation a feature not seen on earlier plans. The light falls from the left, consistent with the morning sun in the east. To the left of the decorative, open curtain, we see a "Caarte van Amstelland" (Map of Amstelland). In the legend block in the upper right corner, nine buildings are marked with the letter "I." A note explains: "NB: where an 'I' appears, it indicates Jansenists." Jansenism named after Cornelius Jansenius (15851638) was a religious and political movement of the 17th and 18th centuries, especially influential in France. It arose in reaction to developments within the Catholic Church and the absolutism of contemporary monarchs. Jansenists were known for their ascetic rejection of worldly life and their pessimistic ethics. Among other things, they also rejected papal infallibility. The fact that buildings associated with Jansenism are singled out on this map suggests that Hendrik de Leth, both engraver and publisher, may have been sympathetic to this political-religious current. The central cartouche beneath the map is tastefully and carefully designed. The title is integrated into a group of allegorical figures: the maiden of the city is flanked by the two lions of the Amsterdam coat of arms and by the river gods of the Amstel and the IJ, while Fortuna rises from the sea. The compass rose and scale bar are given a three-dimensional sculptural quality and are visually embedded within the scene. The city's seal and arms, shown at the top of the map, are held aloft by two putti. Literature: Marc Hameleers - Kaarten van Amsterdam 1538-1865, no. 114 p.228-231 Prijs: Euro 2.350,-.

"Wapen-kaart der Ed. Achtbare Heeren XXXVI Raaden der stad Amsterdam." [Armorial chart of the Honourable Lords XXXVI Councillors of the City of Amsterdam] Copper engraving by Hendrik de Leth, ca. 1730. With original hand colouring. Size: 50 × 50 cm. The print presents an overview of the coats of arms of the members of the so-cal…led Heeren XXXVI, the Vroedschap (Council) of Amsterdam. This college of 36 councillors formed, since 1578 (after the Alteratie, when Amsterdam shifted from Spanish allegiance to the rebel Protestant regime), the foundation of the city's power. The councillors met in the Vroedschapskamer [Council Chamber] of the Town Hall on the Dam, from which the burgomasters and aldermen were elected each year. On the left, putti carry the city seal with a cog ship (referring to shipping and trade), a sword and scales (justice), and a bundle with a halberd (symbol of civic power and defence). On the right, putti display the caduceus of Mercury (commerce and prosperity), the coat of arms of Amsterdam with the three Saint Andrew's crosses, and one appears in the guise of Minerva, goddess of wisdom and strategy, with helmet, shield, and spear. Together these allegories form a laud on Amsterdam as a city of trade, justice, power, and wise government. Below follows a strictly ordered grid of the family arms of the councillors, each accompanied by the name of the regent. This sheet shows theirs coats of arms from 1578 to 1650. Price: Euro 575,- (incl. frame).

Nieuwe Kaarte van het Dijkgraafschap van 't ooster Baljuwschap van West-Vriesland, genaamt Medenblick en de Vier Noorder Coggen. [New Map of the Dijkgraafschap of the Eastern Bailiwick of West Friesland, named Medemblik and the Four Northern Koggen]. Copper engraving made by Hendrik de Leth in Amsterdam in 1732, after the design… by cartographer Pieter Straat. Coloured by a later hand. Four mounted sheets together measuring 93 x 114 cm. In the Middle Ages, West Friesland was divided into four "ambachten " (administrative units above the local level) that likely existed before West Friesland was conquered by the Counts of Holland. These ambachten were further divided into several so-called "koggen," which were subdivided into "bannen" (villages). The "Four Northern Koggen" comprised the Hoogwouder Kogge, the Middelkogge, the Zeekogge or Medemblik Kogge, and the Wognumer Kogge. After the West Frisians were subdued by count count Floris V and finally by count John I, bailiwicks were established that had high jurisdiction and were tasked with overseeing the dikes. Together with Drechterland, the Four Northern Koggen formed the Eastern Bailiwick of West Friesland. However, this bailiwick was short-lived: in the early 15th century, much of the West Frisian countryside was divided into "rural towns" with city rights, with the remaining areas placed under the jurisdiction of existing cities. The section of the Westfriese Omringdijk (West Frisian Circular Dike) under the management of the Four Northern Koggen was overseen by the superintendents of the Four Northern Koggen. Initially, there were twelve, later six delegates from the Dutch cities of Haarlem, Amsterdam, Alkmaar, Hoorn, Enkhuizen, and Medemblik. The creation of the ambacht itself as a dike reeve district dates to 1503: in that year, the "Oosterdijkgraafschap" [Eastern Dike Reeve District] was split into the Four Northern Koggen and Drechterland, each with its own Dijkgraaf. Printer and publisher Hendrik de Leth advertised this map in the Amsterdamsche Courant on December 23 and 30, 1732. It described the map as "a new accurate Map of the Dijkgraafschap and Eastern Bailiwick of West Friesland, called Medemblik and the Four Northern Koggen, being the Ambacht most affected by the plague of worms." In the early 1730s, the West Frisian population was alarmed by the voracity of a mollusk 20 to 40 cm in length. This creature likely arrived in the hulls of ships and found an ideal habitat in the hundreds of thousands of wooden dike posts in the Netherlands. This shipworm attacked the wooden structures of the surrounding dike. In the decades before 1730, thousands of wooden posts had been driven into the ground to break the waves during storms. Coating them with tallow, resin, and printer's ink proved ineffective. To stop the shipworm's activities and reduce the risk of dike breaches, it was decided to replace the posts with stone cladding on the outer side of the dike. The many tons of stone were imported from Belgium, Germany, Denmark, and Norway. In Drenthe, even megalithic tombs (hunebedden) were destroyed for this purpose. Combating the shipworm was a massive undertaking, with stone transport continuing until about 1800. In the lower right corner, the map artistically depicts the daily concerns of the inhabitants. For example, it shows the Four Northern Koggen Dike, which could break during a wild sea. Neptune and King Aeolus, gods of the sea and winds, are shown causing trouble in the background with ships in distress. If the inhabitants are vigilant (symbolized by a rooster), diligent (beehives), cultivate their land (plow, pitchfork, spade), and care for their livestock (cow), they will reap a harvest (sheaf of wheat) and enjoy the "horn of plenty." Price: Euro 1.950,-.
