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.
