WORLD MAPS
1 “1752” Mappemonde ou Description du globe terrestre, by Robert de Vaugondy;

301⁄ 2 x 20 inches with original outline colour. Copper engraving on watermarked laid
paper.
A beautiful world map in two hemispheres from the 1757 first edition of Giles and Didier
Robert de Vaugondy’s famous “Atlas Universal”. The map shows the voyages of Anson in
1740, l’Aigle et la Marie, 1738-9, and Galion Na. Seignora - the galleon routes to and
from Acapulco - Manila, 1743. New Zealand is partially shown, and Nourvelle Hollande
(Australia) contains a very strange line on its east coast aptly labeled “Cotes conjectures.”
North America is open and empty in the north-west. Australia is shown with partially
undefined coastlines. Lavish ornamental cartouches.
Usual reinforced central fold and two other vertical folds towards edges. Printed
“MAPPE-MONDE” on verso of each side. Good to fine. Photo S$4,000-5,000

2 1766 Mappe-Monde Dressée pour l’Etude de la Géographie, rélativement aux Auteurs les
plus Modernes..., by Desnos; 20 x 151⁄ 4 inches, old colour.
On stout laid paper, this copper engraved double hemisphere world map is supported by
two Atlas (or Hercules) figures who are also holding a dedication banner. Unusual
cartographic aspects are oddly shaped Alaskan and Australian coasts, based on the
incomplete information available at the time, and a large body of water in northwestern
North America called “Mer de l’Ouest” (Sea of the West).
Usual central fold, some light age marks along the fold and at the very edges of this sheet.
Photo S$1,200-1,500
Desnos credits the revisions of the map to Louis Brion de la Tour, who also collaborated with
him on other maps. Little is known about Brion de la Tour except that he held the post of
Ingenieur-Geographe du Roi and published a wide range of statistical works and many
atlases
3 1779 A Map the World with the Latest Discoveries, by John Blair; 301⁄ 2 x 18 inches, hand-
coloured.
This large double hemisphere map was issued as an addendum to Blair’s famous tables of
chronology. It reflects the latest exploration discoveries, specially those made by James
Cook during his three expeditions on the Endeavour.
The first voyage in 1768-1771 led to the good delineation of the New Zealand isles and
of the Australian west coast, and the correct position of Otaheite (Tahiti).
The second voyage in 1772-1775 dispelled the existence of a large southern continent,
Cook crossing the polar circle could not locate any landmass.
The last voyage dispelled the myth of the straight of Anian (also linked to the fabled
northwest passage over and above Canada), and discovered the Sandwich Islands
(Hawaii), where he was killed by natives.
Interesting N.W. Coast of America is still based largely on the Russian discoveries and
includes Bering’s coast.
Central fold and two other vertical folds. There is some splitting in the margins. Good to
fine. Photo S$2,500-3,000

4 1579 Indiae Orientalis, Insularumque Adiacientium Typus, by Abraham Ortelius; 211⁄ 4 x

161⁄ 2 inches, hand-coloured.
Fine example of Ortelius’ map of S.E. Asia, Japan, and the Philippines, etc. The map
includes beach and other information drawn from Marco Polo. The map also includes a
portion of the West Coast of North America, including several mythical names in
California. Based upon Mercator’s world map of 1569. The difficulty of mapping this
archipelago was such, that for centuries to come maps of this area remain faulty. Sumatra
and Java are heavily oversized, and the Philippines are incomplete and without the
northern island of Luzon. The mermaids, who are beautifying themselves rather than
heeding the whales’ attack on nearby ships, are based on those occurring on Diego
Gutierrez map of America. From a French edition of the Atlas “Theatrum Orbis
Terrarum”. The privilegium is found in the lower right corner and with French text on
verso.
Usual reinforced centre fold, light overall ageing, nevertheless a fine example of this scarce
map. Photo S$7,000-8,000

ANTIQUE MAPS
5 1606 India Orientalis, by Jodocus Hondius with Latin text on the verso; 223⁄ 4 x 19 inches,
old coloured.
One of the finest early Dutch maps of the region, first published in 1606 as one of the 37
new maps engraved for Jodocus Hondius’ expanded Dutch edition of the “Mercator
Atlas”. Extending from India to the coasts of Southern China with the Pearl River
Estuary, Canton and Formosa, it also includes all of the Malay peninsula and Indochina,
northern Borneo and the Philippines. The decorative detail includes a large sea monster
and an oriental junk in the Bay of Bengal as well as fine scrollwork title and scale
cartouches. One of the most interesting and unusual features of the Southern Malay
peninsula is its dissection in two, the southern part becoming an island just south of
Malacca where it is separated from the rest of the peninsula by a large north-easterly
channel. With two sailing ships and a sea monster.
Reinforced central fold and some light ageing, mostly confined to the margins. Photo S$3,000-3,500

6 1690 (c.) Exactissima Asiae Delineatio In Praecipuas Regiones, by Allard bei Covens and
Mortier; 251⁄ 4 x 21 inches, old coloured.
Fine map of Asia and the and the Northern tip of Australia, called Hollandia Nova.
With a very decorative title cartouche lower left featuring camels, cockatoos and Eastern
merchants bartering their wares. Information was taken from Nicolas Witsen’s 6-sheet
map of Tartary from 1687 as noted above the bottom border.
Unfolded but the margin slightly reduced at foot. Photo S$2,000-2,500
7 1719 Nova Asiae Tabula e majori in minorem hanc formam reducta a Ioh. Bapt.
Homann, by Christopher Weigel Amsterdam; 171⁄ 2 x 141⁄ 4 inches, hand-coloured.
This map was reduced and revised from Homann’s original by Christopher Weigel for
inclusion in Johann David Kohler’s 1719 “Schuul und Reisen Atlas”. This map covers all
of Asia from the Black Sea to Japan and from Nova Zembla to New Guinea. There is an
elaborate allegorical title cartouche in the lower left quadrant illustrating several men
bowing to an Asiatic monarch. A leopard surmounts the title area. At the top right, there
are a list of major religious groups. It is likely that the intent was to colour code the map
by religious groups, but this apparently did not a happen.
Usual strengthened centre fold and light soiling, confined to the margins. Photo S$600-800
Cartographically there is much of interest, particularly in East Asia, which at the time was
largely unknown to European cartographers. Japan is attached to Hokkaido, here labeled
Yedso, which is itself much larger than a malformed but somewhat recognizable Honshu. Just
to the east of Yedso (Hokkaido), Homann maps the apocryphal Compagnie Landt. Often
called de Gamma Land or Gama, these islands were supposedly discovered in the 17th century
by a mysterious Spanish navigator known as Jean de Gama. Various subsequent navigators
claim to have seen this land, including Maerten de Vries and Cornelis Jansz Coen, but it was
left to Bering to finally debunk the myth. In 1729, he sailed for three days looking for Juan
de Gama land but never found it. Thought it may be little more than a mis-mapping of
Hokkaido or the Japanese Kuriles, Gama or Compagnie remained on maps for about 50
years following Bering’s voyages until the explorations of Cook confirmed the Bering findings.
Korea is labeled and appears in a vaguely identifiable peninsular form. New Guinea is only
tentatively rendered suggesting its largely unexplored shores. In the far north, beyond Japan,
Asia is truncated indicating that Siberia remained at this point fully unknown. Near the
center of the map the Capsian Sea (Mare Caspium) appears in circular form according to
the 13th century Kurdish geographer Abu’l Fida.

8 1754 1e Carte de l’Asie, by Jean Palairet; 23 x 203⁄ 4 inches, uncoloured.

On stout laid paper, this copper engraved map is adorned with an elegant, rococo style
cartouche. This is from Palairet’s greatest work, the “Atlas Méthodique”, a magnificent
cartographical demonstration.
Usual central fold with paper reinforcement in the lower margin, small corner crease and
a couple of minor wrinkles. Photo S$600-800
Jean Palairet was born in Montauban, France, but emigrated to England where he became
a French tutor to the children of George II. He later wrote several informative books on
arithmetic, language, arts and sciences, and geography
9 1755 El Asia con toda la Extension de sus Reinos y Provincias Segun el Sistema de Mr.
Hacio, by Pedro Gendron; 251⁄ 2 x 211⁄ 4 inches, original outline colour.
Rare separately printed map of Asia, published in Madrid. Unlike most 18th century maps
from Spain, which are based upon non-Spanish sources, this map is not based upon
French sources but is, instead, drawn from German sources, crediting “Mr. Hacio,
Profesor de Maematicas, En la Universidad de Wittemberga,” a reference to Johann
Matthias Haas, who made maps for the Homann Heirs publishing firm.
Usual reinforced centre fold, crease at upper left corner, some wrinkling in the margins
and light soiling. Photo S$1,200-1,400

of Asia through Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. A large island near Japan is named
Company’s Is. Further east is a large landmass defined by only by its southern shoreline
named De Gama’s Land after Jean de Gama, the Portuguese explorer who reported
sighting land in the North Pacific. The Sea of Japan is named the Sea of Korea.
The Carolines are called New Philippines and are located too far west. Compass rose and

18 1779 Indie Orientali di qua e di la dal Gange con il loro arcipelago, Venezia, by Antonio
Zatta. A set of four maps, each 191⁄ 2 x 151⁄ 4 inches with original colour.
The four maps cover a large part of Asia from the borders of Afghanistan to Formosa and
the edge of New Guinea. A fine and impressive group. (4). Photo S$800-1,000
Antonio Zatta was a leading European cartographer and publisher, and his “Atlante
Novissimo” (Venice, 1775-1785) was one of the most beautifully produced of all 18th Century
atlases, with much space devoted to the new discoveries of Captain Cook. Along with his
contemporary, Giovanni Battista Pasquali, Zatta was responsible for the revival of taste in
Venetian fine printing. Famous for his sardonic tone and as something of a controversialist,
he was also well known for producing lavish editions of Italian classics and raccolte
(collections of poems for special occasions).

eighteenth century and his maps were used for Millar’s “Popular Geography” in 1781.
Much detail is given, compiled from the best sources available in London at the time.

22 1783 (c.) l’Asie divisee en ses Principaux Etats ..., by Jean Janvier; 19 x 131⁄ 2 inches,
original outline colour.
This is a beautiful example of Jean Janvier’s 1762 map of Asia. It covers from Africa and
the Mediterranean east to Bering Strait and south as far as Java and New Guinea.
This map is most interesting in its rendering of the largely unexplored extreme north-west
of Asia. Yeco or Hokkaido is mapped only speculatively with its western borders
unknown. Shows Sakhalin Island in an embryonic state. A decorative title cartouche
displaying the riches of the continent appears in the lower right hand quadrant. A fine

31 1589 Chinae, olim Sinarum regionis, nova descriptio auctore Ludovico Georgio, by
Abraham Ortelius; 23 x 181⁄ 2 inches, old coloured.
This is the second or third state of this map taken from the first western map of China
and first published in Ortelius “Theatrum” in 1584. Based on reports of the Portuguese
map maker Luis de Baruda. With its three lushly designed cartouches and many
illustrations of indigenous shelters, modes of transportation and animals, this is one of
Ortelius’s richest engravings. Spanish text on verso.
Some light tone spotting in the margins. In very fine condition. Photo S$10,000-12,000
Ortelius’ map of China is taken directly from reports of the Portuguese mapmaker Luis Jorge
de Barbuda (Ludovicus Georgius) who made a manuscript map of China which reached
Ortelius via Arias Montanus. First published in 1584, Ortelius’ map of China is the earliest
printed map to focus on China and the first to illustrate the Great Wall of China. Tooley
referred to the map as the standard map of the interior of China for over sixty years.
When this map appeared, it was by far the most accurate representation of China to appear
on a printed map. Japan is shown on a curious curved projection reminiscent of Poruguese
charts of the period with Honshu dissected along the line of Lake Biwa. The Great Wall is
shown, but only a relatively small section, its length is significantly underestimated.
The Tartar “yurts” are dotted across the plains and steppes of Central and East Asia.
The Portuguese Jesuits established a mission in China in 1577. Although the map’s
Portuguese maker, Barbuda, was himself not a Jesuit, his sources for the map were Portuguese
Jesuits. The Chinese characters found in the text on the verso of the map were the first
introduction to Chinese language for many educated Europeans of the time.

Volume XI of Blaeu’s superb atlas is the first western atlas of Asia. This volume is based on
the remarkably accurate compilations of the Jesuit Father Martino Martini during his
travels between 1643 and 1650. On his return trip to Rome, Martini’s ship was blown off
course, forcing him to land in Norway. He subsequently made a stop in Amsterdam where he
met Johannes Blaeu, and agreed to assist in the production of the “Atlas Sinensis”. Martini
succeeded in producing very accurate maps of Japan, China, and their provinces, which may
be attributed to Martini’s skill as well as access to Chinese maps during his travels. His maps
were copied extensively for the next century. Of particular note, in Imperii Sinarum and
Iaponia Regnum, Korea is shown as a peninsula for the first time on a map produced outside
of China. The Jesuit missions are indicated throughout the maps by a cross above the letters
“IHS.” The atlas includes a general map of China, fifteen maps of individual Chinese
provinces

From the first Dutch description of the Empire of China and one of the few non-Jesuit sources
on China of this period. Nieuhoff was the official chronicler and draughtsman for the first
embassy to China by the Dutch East India Company, then at the height of its power. His
record of the trip became the most important source of information about China for Europe
in the 17th Century. The map reflects the limitations on Niehoff’s travels, with significant
detail along several rivers. The embassy travelled from Canton to Peking by way of rivers and
canals, and this route is filled with place names. Nieuhoff ccmpleted the map with vignettes
of the indigenous animals (although it is doubtful that elephants roamed the Gobi Desert as
pictured here).

forms the northern border and the important salt flats are graphically illustrated along the
coast; Beijing assumes the name Xuntien and Shanghai is named Sungkiang. The title
cartouche is in the very distinct auricular style favored in the Netherlands and is flanked
by Chinese Mandarins. The other cartouche, containing the scale of miles, is surrounded
by cherubs or putti. Three ships sail in the sea between China and Corea (Korea), which
is noted as being a peninsula, two are at battle with each other.

The map is based on the groundbreaking work of Martino Martini (1614-61), a legendary
Italian Jesuit missionary and scholar. Martini arrived in Peking in 1644 just as the Ming
Dynasty fell to the Manchurian rebels (who formed the Qing Dynasty). Following in the
footsteps of his fellow Italian Jesuit Mateo Ricci, Martini sought out the very best maps and
surveys of the Chinese Empire. He compiled a series of maps that were by far the most accurate
depictions of China to date. Martini’s suite of 17 maps was first published by Joan Blaeu as
the “Novus Atlas Sinensis”, which accounted for volume 10 of his Atlas Maior (Amsterdam
1655). The present edition of one of the most important maps was issued shortly thereafter by
Blaeu’s rival Jan Jansson.

Canton
68 1746 A Plan of the City of Canton on the River Ta Ho, by John Harris, London;
91⁄ 4 x 151⁄ 2 inches, uncoloured.
Attractive and detailed plan of Canton, just at the beginning of the China-trade era.
This map is one of the earliest European bird’s eye views of Canton at the time of the first
English East India voyages to the Pearl River estuary to trade in tea and later opium.
The view from the river shows the two forts off the harbour front with junks. There are
seven European galleons in the foreground, and the shoreline is bustling with people,
with the armoury and watergate entrances through the city walls. The Tartar quarter is
shown in the background with the Fort and Banqueting House. The number key appears
along the bottom. Published in John Harris’ “Navigantium atque Itinerantium

72 1638 engraved plan of “Xuntien alias Quinzay” by Matthaus Merian, Frankfurt; 10 x 7
inch on laid paper with three inch border, uncoloured.
Scarce early and unusual plan based upon the magnificent account given by Marco Polo
in the late 12th century of the great city of Quinzay. The name is derived from the
Chinese King-sze meaning “Capital” or great city. The actual name for Quinzay in this
period was Lin-ngan, now Hangchow on China’s East coast which was in the 12th
century the capital of the ruling Sung Dynasty. Marco Polo recounted perhaps with his
typical tendency for over-exaggeration its 12,000 bridges, its massive network of canals,
its paved roads and its large Lake (Si-hu or Western Lake) some 30 miles in diameter with
island pavilions and palaces upon it. Jansson reproduces this information with fanciful
embellishment.

First issued as one of the new maps in the extended “Mercator Hondius Atlas” of 1606.
With text on verso. One of the finest early Dutch maps of the region, the map is closely
modelled on the Ortelius-Teixeira outline of 1595 and includes Korea as an elongated
island and the three principal islands of Japan. Hondius notes that it was not yet certain
whether Korea was an island. The decoration to the map includes sea monsters, a Japanese
junk and a Dutch galleon. Considered a milestone in the cartography of Japan, it
remained the standard map of the region until Martini’s map of 1665.

used Dutch mariners’ charts as well as Jesuit sources. Honshu is depicted on the lines
adopted by Martini, but mountain ranges are delineated pictorially. In the Sea of Japan a
somewhat Italianate vessel with a large bank of twenty oars is afloat. It is described as
being used on the route from Nagasaki to Osaka, a distance which it is said to travel in
twelve days. An elaborate foliate title cartouche. The map exhibits the fine engraving style
of this coveted Venetian Atlas.

La Pérouse’s important chart depicting the discoveries he made in 1787 in the seas of
China and Tartary. The travels are charted from the Philippines to the south of Taiwan

to a passage between Korea and Japan. The Ryukyus are disproportionate. Engraved by
Bouclet and published in the Atlas volume that accompanied the important account of
1785 scientific expedition under the command of Comte de Jean Francois Galoup, la
Perouse set out with two ships, “Boussole” and “Astrolabe,” to circumnavigate the world.
The voyage turned out to be destined to an unfortunate fate. La Perouse stopped in
Botany Bay, Australia, where he left letters and his journals. The ships left for France and

115 1639 Magni Mogolis Imperium, by Jan Jansson; 231⁄ 2 x 183⁄ 4 inches, old coloured.
A fine example of Jan Jansson’s edition of William Baffin’s map of Mughal Empire, the
first broadly accurate map of Northern India. This revolutionary map embraces the entire
Mughal Empire, and extends from Afghanistan and Kashmir in the north, down south to
the middle of the Deccan, and from the mouths of the Indus in the east, to Burma in the
west. While far from scientific, and featuring some obvious inaccuracies (notably, areas in
the upper part of the map are placed way too far to the north), it is the first map of
Northern India to evince a rough level of planimetric accuracy. The original map on
which the present edition is predicated was devised by the great English adventurer
William Baffin, after information supplied to him by Sir Thomas Roe, England’s first
ambassador to the Mughal Empire.
The title cartouche, in the upper left, features the modified seal of the Emperor Jahangir
(reigned 1605-27), featuring roundels bearing his name and those of his eight dynastic
predecessors going back to the great Turco-Mongol ruler, Timur (Tamerlane the Great).
In the middle is the symbol of the Mughal Empire, featuring a lion at repose in front of
a rising sun. There are depictions of animals with a camel, elephants and large cats.
The reverse with text in German.
Large paper split in the upper margin and a few minor age marks. A good example of this

A highly decorative woodcut map by famous mapmaker Sebastian Münster published in
his Ptolemy edition 1552 in Basel at Heinrich Petri. The decorative woodcut borders
verso were probably cut by the famous 16th century woodcutter Hans Holbein.
Important early map of part of Northern India, Pakistan and the Indian Ocean, based
upon the work of Ptolemy. The map is unchanged from the 1540 edition. Munster’s
Geographia was a cartographic landmark, including not only Ptolemaic maps, but also a
number of landmark modern maps, including the first separate maps of the four
continents, the first map of England and the earliest obtainable map of Scandinavia.

Covers the subcontinent from the Bay of Bengal and the Gulf of Cambay to Ceylon (Sri
Lanka). Offers impressive detail given that the interior of India was largely unknown to
the west until the British survey’s of the late 18th century. The vast Mogul Empire sprawls
across the northern part of the map. Further south the kingdoms of Deccan, Malabar,
Bisnagar, and Golconda, among others, are noted. As an indicator of how just out of date
European knowledge of this region was, most of these kingdoms had fallen to ruin over
100 years prior to the publication of this map. The Portuguese enclave of Goa on India’s
west coast is noted. In the lower right quadrant there is an inset of the Malabar Coast.
The lower left hand quadrant features a curious and speculative depiction of the Maldives.

156 1742 Carte de Perse, by Covens & Mortier; 25 x 21 inches, original outline colour.
Also titled Nova et accurata imperii Persici delineatio ad usum Serenissimi Burgundiae
Ducis.
Covens and Mortier reissued a chart originally made by Guillaume de l’Isle showing the
Persian Empire. The depicted area stretching from Crimea to Kashmir and from the
Caspian Sea to the Persian Gulf. The detailed representation of towns, villages, rivers and
further regional conditions, in particular the mapping of the roads, leads to the
presumption that this chart was created for military purposes. French inscriptions, spread
all over the chart, e.g. that the Baloch, inhabitants of south-east Persia, were very militant
people. The famous flats of Bahrain, where legendary pearls grow, is clearly marked.
The title cartouche is in Rococo-style and is decorated with twisting and floral elements
and a royal coat of arms.
Usual reinforced centre fold with repaired split at foot, and other light folds, good to fine.

Arabia
157 1595 Turcici imperii descriptio, this map was published in Antwerp as part of the Latin
edition of “Theatrum Orbis Terrarum”; 211⁄ 2 x 163⁄ 4 inches, hand-coloured.
The map is based on Ortelius’ own map of Asia, which was derived from the work of
Italian mapmaker Giacomo Gastaldi of 1561. There is Latin text on verso for “Turquie”.
It shows a relatively accurate depiction of the Red Sea but a misshapen Persian Gulf and
Caspian Sea. While the coastline of the Arabian Peninsula is shown with great detail, many
of the inland place names and their locations are taken from antiquity and legend rather
than actual reports of exploration. The map is loaded with detail, showing mountains
chains, and river systems, as well as numerous villages and important cities, such as Rome,
Tripoli, Athens, Constantinople, Cairo, Jerusalem, and Mecca. Decorative elements
within the map include four sailing ships (two of which are engaged in battle), a sea
monster roaming the Black Sea and a strapwork title cartouche supported by two female,
winged sea creatures.
The central fold has been reinforced, light overall ageing and occasional trivial peripheral
damage on the edges. Photo S$2,000-2,500

164 1493 Serta Etas Mundi (Nuremberg Chronicle), folio CXXX by Anton Koberger; 23 x
Two sheets of incunabula with original woodcut engravings on the front and on the
reverse. At the top of the cards CXXIX / to and CXXX / recto text in Gothic characters
and in Latin; in the bottom half of the same facciateampia view of Constantinople in
woodcut; on the other two façades, gothic text in Latin, accompanied by 7 beautiful
silografate cartoons with images of the Empress Helena, the fathers of the Council of
Nicaea, heresiarch Arius and four emperors. The sheets are taken from a famous
incunabula, imprinted in Nuremberg in 1493 in the original text with Latin: in the same
year they released the impression with text in German, translated by Georg Alt. The fame
of the book is mainly linked to the accompanying illustrative over two thousand
woodcuts, some of which belong to the young Dürer. The magnificent view of
Constantinople, as representations of other cities in the volume, combines conventional
elements of fantasy and other topographic features with reference to reality. The image is
placed in evidence, with a caption, the church of Santa Sofia; interesting is the depiction
of a ship in the lower sinstra.

This page was removed from a book entitled Liber Chronicarum, or ‘Nuremberg Chronicle’,
published in 1493 by printer Anton Koberger. One of the most ambitious books produced in
the 15th century with over 1000 woodcut illustrations, the ‘Nuremberg Chronicle’ was also
one of the earliest books with illustrations designed by artists rather than blockcutters.
Koberger commissioned Michael Wolgemut, who ran a large art workshop, to design the
illustrations and layout between 1487 and 1491. Wolgemut was helped by his stepson Wilhelm
Pleydenwurff. Woodcut images could be printed on the same page as text because the type used
to print the words and the woodcut image were both in relief, so they could be set together in
the same frame (called a forme) and printed simultaneously. In common with practice at the
time, not all of the images in the Chronicle were original designs, some being copies after
artists like Martin Schongauer, and some being used more than once in the same book. But
where earlier woodcut book illustrations were simple outlines the use of light and tone shows
how differently an artist responded to the potential of the woodcut medium. Books like this led
to artists such as Albrecht Dürer considering the potential of the woodcut as a medium of
expression. Dürer trained under Wolgemut between 1486 and 1489 at around the time when
Wolgemut received the commission for this book.

A highly decorative map of the region from the Libyan Sea to the Red Sea, including
Babylon, Thebes, the Pillars of Hercules, Hanorum, Alexandria, Memphis, and many
other classical places. The Nile has its origin in Aetheopia Sub Aegypto. Interesting scene
at top of a man being swallowed by a sea monster. The map is based upon classical
Ptolemaic information. The map is unchanged from the 1540 edition. Munster’s
Geographia was a cartographic landmark, including not only Ptolemaic maps, but also a
number of landmark modern maps, including the first separate maps of the 4 continents,
the first map of England and the earliest obtainable map of Scandinavia. Munster is
generally regarded as one of the three most important map makers of the 16th Century,
along with Ortelius and Mercator. He issued his first mapping of Germany in 1529,
after which he issued a call for geographical information about Germany to scholars
throughout the country. The response was better than hoped for, and included substantial
foreign material, which supplied him with up to date, if not necessarily accurate maps for
the issuance of his Geographia in 1540.

27 x 201⁄ 2 inches with simple outline colour.
A seminal production, this is Guillaume de l’Isle’s 1721 map of the Caspian Sea according
to the surveys of van Verden and S. I. Soimonov. It is the first printed map of the Caspian
Sea based upon actual survey work. Although other cartographers also copied the work of
van Verden and Soimonov, de l’Isle was the first, and his mapping is the finest and truest
to the original manuscript. The map proper is surrounded by eight inset maps detail
various gulfs, bays, ports, and rivers. The upper sheet has two large cartouches, the left
bearing the title and dedication to van Verden and the right a description of the map.
The right hand cartouche also features two dragons.

In 1721 Peter presented the Paris Academie Royale des Sciences with a copy of S. I. Soimonov
and Carl Vanverden’s map of the Caspian region. Without further delay, De l’Isle redrew
the map (with great care), translated the inscriptions into French and printed it on separate
sheets in reduced size in the Travaux of the Academy. He also included the map in his Atlas.
In this way, the exact outline of the Caspian Sea, drawn on the Russian map of 1720, first

Iran, and Turkey. This is one of de l’Isle’s most important and misunderstood maps.
Knowledge of the Caucuses and Caspian Sea region was extremely limited in Western
europe and so de l’Isle composed this map from assortment of sources, many of whom he
lists in the title cartouche, including the Caspian Sea surveyor van Verden, Persian
diplomats, Georgian aristocratic and religious figures, and various Russian surveys.
The result is this remarkably accurate map, a major step forward in the cartographic
perspective of the region, and one of the finest maps de l’Isle ever produced. Engraved by

St. Helena
189 1596 “Vera effiies et delineatio Insulae Sancta Helena, qua Ortum Occasum, et
Septentrionem spectat, ... “by Ioannes Hugo a Linschoten; 183⁄ 4 x 121⁄ 4 inches,
uncoloured.
An incredibly decorative engraving of St. Helena on paper. Three elevations provide
perspective of the rugged topography. The ocean contains several Portuguese ships.
The sheet is then richly embellished with three beautiful compass roses, two elaborate
cartouches and angel holding armillary sphere. Beautifully engraved by Baptista a
Doetechum.
Light folding creases from insertion in the original book and paper reinforcement down
central fold; in remarkable condition. Photo S$500-600
This is Linschoten’s second map of St Helena island in the south Atlantic. St Helena was an
important re-supply point for the Portuguese starting from their earliest attempts, in the late
1400s, at rounding the Cape of Good Hope and discovering a sea route to the Indies.
The island’s later history included being Napoleon’s final place of imprisonment, after his
defeat at Waterloo. The map shows three detailed views of the island: the town, landing places,
etc. This was done as a guide to show how the island looked as approached from the sea; a
compass rose below each view provides sailing directions. The safe harbour was on the northern
side of the island. A ship in the harbour in bottom view flies the Portuguese standard. Text in
Latin and in Dutch. Jan Huygen van Linschoten (1562-1611) was employed as Secretary to
the Portuguese Archbishop of Goa in India from 1583. Here, he had access to many
Portuguese portolans as well as other valuable commercial information. Linschoten returned
to Holland in 1592 and there wrote a history of his years of travel, the Itinerario..., which
incorporated all that he had learned from the Portuguese. This book and the accompanying
maps provided precise information on the Portuguese sea routes to the East, their re-supply
points around Africa, and their trading stations in the East. The book had a tremendous
influence on Dutch expansion in the East and particularly in Java.

192 1784 Carte Générale du Canada, de la Louisiane, de la Floride, de la Caroline..., by P.

Santini and M. Remondini; 291⁄ 2 x 201⁄ 4 inches, uncoloured.
On stout paper, map of the eastern part of the United States and Canada. With inset map
of Hudson and Baffin bays in the lower right corner. This is the Venetian edition of
d’Anville’s map, from “Atlas Universel” printed in 1784. Noteworthy topographical detail
is shown, with particular focus on the Great Lakes. Lake Superior is attached to a
convoluted river system reaching across the continent reminiscent of the Riviere Longue
of Baron Lahontan’s memoirs. On the Gulf Coast the region of Tecas (Texas) is named
with a nearby note about the Atac-apa tribe of Indians, who are noted as Antrophages
(Cannibals) and Indiens errans. The map was prepared by the Venetian cartographer and
publisher François Santini and first published in Santini’s “Atlas Universel dresse sur les
meuilleures cartes modernes 1776.” Santini collaborated with Janvier and gives credit to
him on most of his maps. The atlas is effectively an Italian copy of the Robert de
Vaugondy “Atlas Universel”. In 1784 Santini sold the plates to M. Remondini, whose
name appears on this particular example - indicating that this is the second state of the
map.

LITERATURE
Malaya
204 1907, Malay Peninsular (Straits Settlements & Federated Malay States), Original Photos
.... by C.J. Kleingrothe, Medan, Deli. in original casing.
Cloth-bound portfolio measuring 460x365mm, with title ‘Malay Peninsula’ stamped on
front cover beneath a laid-down photogravure image of a tiger in a trap. The portfolio
contains a separate loose title page, a coloured map of the Straits Settlements and the
Federated Malay States dated 1907. Contains 72 lithogravure pages, unusually complete
as most examples, including that in the British Library, contain less. Contains Singapore
(18 pages), Penang (16 pages), F.M.S. (36 pages) and Malacca and others (2 pages).
Little biographical information has come to light about the elusive Charles J. Kleingrothe,
the photographer whose images of the Dutch East Indies and British Malaya are now
highly sought after collector’s items. In the late 1860s, Kleingrothe worked for G.R.
Lambert & Co., a leading photographer of Singapore whose prints had been compiled in
a similar though less sumptuous volume years ago. When the plantation economy of
Sumatra flourished in the latter half of the 19th century, G.R. Lambert opened a branch
of its studios in Medan in 1888, then part of the old Deli Sultanate, for which Kleingrothe
was put in charge. His pictorial record of Sumatra plantations of the day are unrivaled and
was probably one of the few sources on this largely-forgotten phase in the history of the
island. When the Medan branch declined and was subsequently wound up during the
Great War in 1916, Kleingrothe too seemed to have disappeared without a trace. Photo S$12,000-15,000

Singapore
207 1955, Colony of Singapore, Master Plan, Report of Survey; board covered with
photographs, maps, plans and an abundance of data.
The Master Plan was first formulated between 1952 and 1955. The colonial government
of the time saw the need for an overall plan to guide the rapid physical growth that
Singapore was experiencing. It had to solve the acute housing shortage, redevelop the city
which was known as the Central Area, and improve the living conditions there. The result
was the first Statutory Master Plan in 1958. It introduced regulated land use for the first
time, through zoning, density and plot ratio controls. It is a statutory instrument for
reserving land for schools, open spaces, infrastructural facilities and other essential
community uses. The Plan included a “green belt” to arrest the further expansion of the
city. It provided for the redevelopment of decaying properties in the Central Area and
designated new urban areas outside the city. New interconnected towns were also
planned. The first Master Plan laid the basis for comprehensive urban planning that has
taken place since then.
Some minor tone spotting on the first page of the index, otherwise in exceptional
condition. Very scarce and a most interesting historical document. Photo S$1,200-1,500
