ENGLISH VERSION OF
DECORATIVE BLEAU WORLD MAP
 PIETER
VAN DEN KEERE (AFTER W. BLEAU & J. JANSSON). NOVA TOTIUS
 TERRARUM
ORBIS GEOGRAPHCA AC HYDROGRAPHICA TABULA. MOSES PITT. OXFORD. 1680 (THE
ENGLISH ATLAS). OUTLINE HAND COLOR (ORIGINAL). COPPER ENGRAVING. Splendid example of one of the most
lavishly decorative world map from the "Golden Age" of cartography. Some of the
finest cartographers and engravers of all time had a hand in this paragon of
maps: Willem Bleau, Jan Jansson, Pieter Van Den Keere. This is the very scarce
English version by Moses Pitt of Oxford. The surround of 22 vignettes
represents an epitome of ancient European iconography: The Four Seasons and the
Four Elements (Earth, Air, Fire & Water) literally embodied, as well as seven
Romans gods, representing the sun,
 moon
Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. The Mercator projection map depicts
California as an island with no Pacific coastline above Cape Mendocino.
Strangely,
 this
alters the more geographically correct 1608 plate. Other geography is updated
(1608 to 1680) to reflect the discovery of Australia (Nova Hollandia). Tierra
del Fuego. Sea monsters had become endangered during the 17th C. only a token
one larger than the Falklands still guards the South Atlantic sea lanes. A ship
with all sails billowing keeps it's distance mid-Pacific. Minor centerfold
wrinkles, easily cured. Else an extremely good example. Shirley. Mapping World

  SANSON,
GUILLAUME/NICOLAS SANSON. ATLANTIS INSULA, a Nicolao Sanson antiquitati
restituta, nunc demum majori formas delineata, et in decem regna, iuxta decem
Neptuni filios distributa. Praeterea insulae, nostraeq. Continentis regiones
quibus Imperavere Atlantici Reges; aut quas armis tentavere. ex conatibus
geographicis Gulielmi Sanson Nicholai filii. [1669] Cum privilegio reno ad
viginti annos lutetiae Parisiorum. Apud autorem in Aedibus regiis 1690. SANSON
FILII. PARIS. 1690. OUTLINE HAND COLOR. COPPER ENGRAVING. (The words 'reni'
and 'in aedibus Regiis: 1690' added to the plate.) Third state (of five) of the
unusual map that purports to show the earth about 200,000 years ago before its
settlement by humans. The god Neptune had divided up the land masses among his
ten sons. The basic map had been the work of the father Nicolas Sanson
(1600-1667) and the names to parts of the Western Hemisphere after these
demigods being the work of his son Guillaume who died in 1703. Fascination with
the Atlantis legend caused the map to sell well from between 1669 and 1741.
Interest and scholarly respectibility in the "lost continent" or the "Atlantian
empire" continued unabated into the late 19th and 20th Centuries. Thule island
is shown, believed source of nordic races. The triumphant success of Heinrich
Schliemann as an archeologist, success that earned him wealth and lasting fame,
caused many to accept as fact ancient legends. Schliemann had taken Homer's
Iliad and Odyssey and their accounts of the Trojan Wars to be literal truth. He
then discovered ancient Troy in Asia Minor. Russian adventuress and telepath
Madame Helena Petrovna Blavatsky took up and defined the Atlantian concept,
(Atlantis was first described by Plato about 400 B.C.), and Austrian Guido von
List championed its racial implications. Englishman Sir James Churchward
contributed the land or island of Mu in the Indian Ocean. While having now lost
scholarly credibility, there are still those who defend the existence of
Atlantis. They think it now to have been an island in a lake in Bolivia. There
are also some who believe such theories as Hollow Earth, Ancient Astronauts, and
even Hoerbiger's World Ice Theory. While these may be fanciful, some mainstream
archeologists are accepting as fact the writings of the Greek historian
Herodotus. Television Xena stories are based on his history. Basic cartography
of the mid-Seventeenth Century with California as an island. The map appeals to
collectors because the Great Lakes are shown as a thematic version of the
prototype Sanson first published in 1650. Original outline color. Fine
condition. Tooley, California as an island, map 51; M.S. Pedley, Belle et utile,
