Condición: Ottimo. Grande litografia stampata su carta speciale Estratta da una ristampa anastatica del 1992 Incisione del XVI secolo raffigurante il Brixiani Agri Typus, la carta del territorio di Brescia di Abraham Ortelius, tratta dal Theatrum Orbis Terrarum pubblicato ad Anversa tra il 1590 e il 1595. La mappa, basata sui rilevamenti del cartografo Cristoforo Sorte del 1560, mostra con grande precisione la città di Brescia, rappresentata con il simbolo del cigno ("Brixia, Cygnæa supposita in specula"), e i territori circostanti, includendo il Lago di Garda, il Lago d'Iseo, la Val Trompia e la pianura padana fino ai confini con Bergamo, Cremona, Verona e il Ducato di Milano. L'opera è curiosamente orientata con il nord a sinistra, scelta editoriale che consentiva una migliore impaginazione all'interno dell'atlante. Sono rappresentati numerosi centri urbani, castelli, monasteri e corsi d'acqua, tra cui l'Oglio e il Mella, che segnavano la geografia economica e politica del territorio. La carta riflette l'importanza del Bresciano nel XVI secolo come area strategica della Lombardia veneta, ricca di risorse agricole e manifatturiere, e crocevia tra pianura e Alpi. L'incisione è arricchita da un elegante cartiglio ornamentale e da iscrizioni latine che uniscono rigore scientifico e gusto artistico tipico della cartografia fiamminga. Ortelius, nato ad Anversa nel 1527, fu il primo cartografo a raccogliere e uniformare in un'unica opera le migliori carte disponibili, creando un atlante che offriva al lettore una visione sistematica e coerente del mondo conosciuto. Il Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, stampato per la prima volta nel 1570 e successivamente ampliato e ripubblicato fino agli inizi del XVII secolo, è considerato il primo atlante moderno perché per la prima volta le carte furono raccolte in un formato uniforme, corredate da testi esplicativi e organizzate in un corpus coerente. L'opera ebbe un successo straordinario, con oltre quaranta edizioni in diverse lingue, e divenne uno strumento fondamentale per studiosi, mercanti e viaggiatori dell'Europa moderna. Questa tavola, con la sua capacità di illustrare Brescia e il suo territorio come regione chiave della Lombardia veneta, è quindi non solo un documento cartografico di grande interesse ma anche una testimonianza diretta della rivoluzione culturale e scientifica che portò alla nascita della cartografia moderna, ideale per collezionisti, studiosi e bibliofili.

Grande litografia stampata su carta speciale Estratta da una ristampa anastatica del 1992 Incisione del XVI secolo raffigurante il Typus Orbis Terrarum, la celebre carta del mondo di Abraham Ortelius, tratta dal Theatrum Orbis Terrarum pubblicato ad Anversa nel 1595. La tavola mostra una rappresentazione del globo secondo le conoscenze geografiche dell'epoca, con i continenti delineati in modo ancora approssimativo ma già riconoscibile, arricchiti da cartigli decorativi, motti latini e figure allegoriche che sottolineano la dimensione umanistica e simbolica della geografia rinascimentale. Ortelius, cartografo fiammingo nato ad Anversa nel 1527, fu tra i primi a raccogliere e uniformare in un'unica opera le migliori carte disponibili, creando un atlante che offriva al lettore una visione sistematica e coerente del mondo conosciuto. Il Typus Orbis Terrarum è la carta introduttiva del volume e rappresenta la sintesi visiva del progetto orteliano: un teatro del mondo che unisce scienza, arte e cultura.

Original antique copper engraving, decorative hand colored in outline when published. A highly decorative map, which is ornated with a large decorative title cartouche at the bottom. On the top a large renaissance cartouche with the title. Johannes Janssonius (1588, Arnhem buried July 11, 1664, Amsterdam) (born Jan Janszoon, in English also Jan Jansson) was a Dutch cartographer and publisher who lived and worked in Amsterdam in the 17th century.Janssonius was born in Arnhem, the son of Jan Janszoon the Elder, a publisher and bookseller. In 1612 he married Elisabeth de Hondt, the daughter of Jodocus Hondius. He produced his first maps in 1616 of France and Italy. In 1623 Janssonius owned a bookstore in Frankfurt am Main, later also in Danzig, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Berlin, Königsberg, Geneva and Lyon. His wife Elisabeth died in 1627 and he married Elisabeth Carlier in 1629. He formed a partnership with his brother in law Henricus Hondius, and together they published atlases as Mercator/Hondius/Janssonius.Under the leadership of Janssonius the Hondius Atlas was steadily enlarged. Renamed Atlas Novus, it had three volumes in 1638, one fully dedicated to Italy. In 1646, a fourth volume came out with "English County Maps", a year after a similar issue by Joan Blaeu. Janssonius' maps are similar to those of Blaeu, and he is often accused of copying from his rival, but many of his maps predate those of Blaeu and/or covered different regions. By 1660, at which point the atlas bore the appropriate name "Atlas Major", there were 11 volumes, containing the work of about a hundred credited authors and engravers. It included a description of "most of the cities of the world" (Townatlas), of the waterworld (Atlas Maritimus in 33 maps), and of the Ancient World (60 maps). The eleventh volume was titled Atlas of the Heavens (a type of celestial cartography) by Andreas Cellarius. Editions were printed in Dutch, Latin, French, and a few times in German.After Janssonius's death, the publishing company was continued by his son-in law, Johannes van Waesbergen. The London bookseller Moses Pitt attempted publication of the Atlas Major in English, but ran out of resources after the fourth volume in 1683.

"Who can consider human affairs to be great, when he comprehends the eternity and vastness of the entire world?" (Cicero, legend in the border) Double-page engraved map, with contemporary hand colour in full, heightened in gold, and with the addition of repaired crack to plate at lower left, and waves and cloud swirls in manuscript. A beautiful example of Ortelius's first world map, created for his atlas 'Theatrum Orbis Terrarum', and therefore the first world map created for a uniform atlas. Printed from the first copper plate, of three, first published in 1570, it features a border of clouds running around the oval of the map, is signed by the engraver "Franciscus Hogenberg", a bulge appears in the west coast of South America. A number of legends appear in the vast southern continent, "Terra Australis Nondum Cognita", including: "Hanc continentem Australem, nonnulli Magellanicam regionem ab eius inuentore nuncupant", which explains that this Southern continent is also known as Magellanica, after its discoverer; and "Noua Guinea nuper inuentaquæ an sit insulaan pars continentis Australis incertû est", questions whether New Guinea is part of the Southern continent or an island. The mapmaker Abraham Ortelius (1527-1598) took an active interest in cartography from an early age. He began his career as a "kaarten afzetter" (illuminator of maps) purchasing single (generally wall) maps from booksellers and colouring them for re-sale. He travelled extensively in his search for new material and was a well-known face at the Frankfurt bookfairs. It was whilst travelling that Ortelius built up his unrivalled web of contacts, which included many of the leading historians, scientists, and cartographer's of the day. These contacts would prove invaluable in the compiling and completion of his 'Theatrum orbis Terrarum' first published in 1570. The work was "the first true atlas" (van der Broecke): all the maps were of a uniform size and style, with an engraved title, accompanying text, and - hitherto unheard of in cartographic publications - a list of the source material. With its comprehensive scope, the atlas was a huge step forward compared with the contemporary "Lafreri" atlases, which were bound up to order and so reflected the whims of the customer. Even though it was the most expensive work published at the time, it proved an instant success with four versions of the first edition being printed in 1570 alone. The work would go on to be published for 42 years, with some 31 editions being produced.

That is the question Double-page engraved map of the world, with fine hand-colour in full. An interesting hybrid double-hemisphere map of the world. The cartography is based mainly on Willem Janszoon Blaeu's wall map of the world of 1648, and reuses the plate for Claes Visscher's world map of 1614 (Shirley 288), although the hemispheres have been re-engraved to include the discoveries of Abel Tasman, and remove the northern coastline of a great southern landmass, which is still just visible. Nevertheless, the outlines of Australia and New Zealand, remain unfinished and are amongst the earliest on a world map to be based on the discoveries of Abel Tasman in 1642 and 1644. The coastlines of western America and eastern Asia and similarly open-ended, perhaps still allowing for the possibility that they are contiguous. California is shown as an island, and Alaska and the lakes of Canada do not appear at all. The very elaborate and decorative border is the same as that for Nicolas Visscher's 'Orbis Terrarum Nova et Accuratissima Tabula' (1657), by Nicolaes Berchem, a painter of pastoral landscapes. As with Visscher's map, there are two smaller hemispheres in the cusps of the larger one, but they are quite different. The map is unsigned, but an example has been found bound into an example of the 'Het Nieue Testament ofte alle Boeken des Nieuwen Verbondts onses Heeren Jusu Christi, (164?). A version of the map exists, but with a different border, bound into Dutch bibles published by Paulus van Ravesteyn, from 1657. Shirley writes: "the attribution of the original map to either Danckerts or Savry is still tentative, as is the provisional date. The double-hemispherical map was found in a 164[8]? Bible published by Theunis Jacobzs and Frederick Stam in company with five Holy Land maps either signed by Cornelis Danckerts, or dated 1648" (372A). The map is significant for its magnificent border by Nicolaes Berchem, and is amongst those early maps which set the precedent for the famously intricately decorated Dutch maps of the later seventeenth century. In the border of this map, Berchem weaves together classical mythology and the elements: the corners show the rape of Persephone (fire), Zeus enthroned (air), Demeter amongst the harvest (earth) and Neptune in his chariot (water). The whole is presided over by personifications of the elements supporting the two polar projections. The cycle also roughly corresponds to the passage of the seasons.

ONE OF THE FIRST MAPS TO SHOW THE DOUBLE HEMISPHERICAL FORM AFTER RUMOLD MERCATOR'S WORLD MAP OF 1587 AND THE FIRST MAP TO USE DECORATIVE PICTORIAL BORDERS Engraving: 17" x 23" References: Rodney W. Shirley, The Mapping of the World (London, 1983), n. 187. At the time of its publication, Plancius's large-scale, overwhelmingly detailed and decorative map of the world represented innovations in mapmaking on several levels. A minister of the Reformed Church in Holland, Plancius became an expert on navigation and on Dutch explorations to the Indies. He was one of the first to appreciate the significance of earlier Portuguese charts, and in 1602 was appointed official cartographer to the Dutch East India Company. As such, he had access to privileged information regarding the latest geographical discoveries, information not available to many of his competitors. This world map was first issued separately in 1594 or shortly thereafter, engraved by Jan van Doetecum, a craftsman of great skill whose signature appears in the lower left-hand corner and who was associated with a number of Plancius's maps. The two main terrestrial hemispheres are based on those in Plancius's earlier world map of 1590, updated by geographical details and with the addition of two celestial spheres. Korea is drawn as a peninsula for the first time ever on a map, and Japan is shown with an improved, if still not entirely correct, outline. New Guinea, which had previously been represented as a separate island, is now joined to the southern continent named "Magallanica". The elaborate pictorial borders were inspired by drawings in the works of Theodore de Bry, published a few years earlier, and were another of Plancius's innovations that established a pattern of cartographical decoration that lasted for over a century. Symbolical female figures, landscape vignettes, and highly animated illustrations of animals indigenous to each area represent the regions of the world. Included are elephants and camels, a giraffe, a unicorn, an ostrich, the footless bird of paradise, parrots, snakes, monkeys, a rhinoceros, a crocodile, and a giant armadillo. Plancius's map had a widespread influence on other mapmakers and is rarely available to collectors. Book.
