Typus Orbis Terrarum

Map Maker: Abraham Ortelius

Place / Date: Antwerp / 1572

Large Image Size - http://www.raremaps....rge/0141ops.jpg

Description: First edition of Ortelius' famous world map, offered here in striking color.

Ortelius' world map is one of the most important and widely disseminated maps of the second half of the 16th Century, forming the base model for a number of other contemporary maps. The present example is from the earliest state of the map, which can be identifed by the signature of the engraver, Fransciscus Hogenbergus (Franz Hogenberg) below the Cicero quote (center right) and the lack of any evidence of cracking in the lower left part of hte plate.

The map is drawn from Gerard Mercator's 1569 wall map of the World, Gastaldi's 1561 world map and Diego Gutierrez' portolan map of the Atlantic. On the verso, Ortelius mentions in his Catalogus Auctorum that he also apparently had access to and drew upon the world maps by Peter ab Aggere from Mechelen, Sebastian Cabotus from Venice, Laurentius Fries from Antwerp, Jacobus Gastaldi, Gemma Frisius from Antwerp, Guicciardinus from Antwerp, Doco ab Hemminga Frisius, and Orontius Finæus from Paris.

Orbis Terrarum Descriptio Duobis Planis Hemisphaeriis Comprehesa

Map Maker: Nicholas Van Geelkercken

Place / Date: Amsterdam / 1617 (1632)

Large Image Size - http://www.raremaps....large/25848.jpg

Description:

Extremely rare decorative double hemipshere map of the World by Nicholas Van Geelkercken, first published in 1610.

The cartographic detail is based upon Van Geelckerken's map of 1610, with dramatic additional decorative embellishment. The cartography follow the work of Willem Blaeu's wall map, except for North America.

As noted in the text, Van Geelkercken's map was published shortly after Spilbergen's passage around the strait of Magellan (which took place in January 1616), although the year is incorrectly noted as 1615. While Shirley concluded that the map was first published in 1616, no example is known to have survived with this date and only 2 known examples of the 1617 edition have survived.

Nicolas Van Geelkercken was active as draughtsman and engraver, working in Leiden, Amsterdam and Antwerp. Van Geelkercken's work is highly coveted, with Shirley noting:

The signatures on thsi vividly decorative map indicate the author as Nicolaes Geelkercken and the publisher as Jan Jansson. Geographically, the map is little different from Geelkercken's [1610 world map] . . apart from a redrawn north-east coast of Asia and the omisssion of the lake in North America. However, the rich external decoration is quite new. In the corners there are rural scenes illustrating the four seasons, and, in the upper and lower center parts, panoramas of the Garden of Eden and the last Judgement. Some of the human details, milkmaids, reapers, skaters -- are particularly lively.

Shirley noted only 2 examples of the first state and 4 or 5 examples of the second state (1618). The 1632 edition is also an exceptional rarity, with only 2 examples having been noted in dealer catalogues in the past 30 years and none since 1989. Hondius re-issued the map with some significant decorative changes in 1639 and later editions with significant changes have been noted by Muller in an 1872 catalogue, describing a copy of the 1657 edition of Jansson's Waterwereldt, and an even later example (dated 1676) was identified by Lasor a Varea a reference work published in 1713.
