"America Sive Novus Orbis Respectu Europaeorum Inferior Globi Terrestris Pars"
-Theodore De Bry
-Original Antique Print from 1596
-16x13 inches
-Very good condition. Professionally remargined.
Uncoloured. A few small repairs to rear.
Beautiful Original antique map of the Americas from Part 6 of De Bry's Grands Voyages and printed in 1596.
This large map depicts the Americas and Terra Australis, surrounded by full-length portraits of Columbus, Vespucci, Magellan and Pizarro. The map provides an accurate description of North and South America, which had only been discovered 100 years before this map was produced. The outlines of the continents are primarily derived from Plancius' 1594 map (which was included in Linschoten's Itinerario). The straits of Anian and an open North West Passage are depicted alongside the famed Terra Australis (named Magellanica on this map) which was presumed to exist at this time. The Solomon islands are shown, discovered in 1565 and an accurate depiction of Newfoundland, based on Claesz and Lasso. For the first time, the map includes information from White and Le Moyne's maps of Virginia and Florida (Parts 1 and 2 of De Bry's Grands Voyages).
De Bry's Grands Voyages was a 13 part compendium published from 1590 until the early 1600s. It was the first comprehensive work to describe the discovery Americas and remains a cornerstone of any collection of early Americana. Maps from the series are rare and highly desirable as they are some of the earliest available depictions of the Americas.
A beautiful, rare and highly detailed map of the Americas which would be a highlight of any collection of maps of the Americas or Pacific.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you would like further information or if you are interested in other plates, works or maps by De Bry.

To this is included a particular description of the improved state of the New Colony formed at Port Jackson and Norfolk Island, where the convicts are now settled, and an account of the excursions and discoveries made in the interior parts of New Holland. Altogether this is a gargantuan production with stunning plates and maps. Contemporary full calf, superbly rebacked with the original spine relaid. Photographs available on request.

New York, Richmond, Chicago, & Toledo: H. H. Hardesty, 1885. Original color lithographed map printed by Rand, McNally & Company, Engravers and published in HARDESTY'S HISTORICAL AND GEOGRAPHICAL ENCYCLOPEDIA: SPECIAL VIRGINIA EDITION. 19 3/8 inches by 13 1/4 inches on a 21" X 14 1/2" sheet. The map depicts the Territory of Utah in its final form--large areas had been removed and ceded to Nevada, Colorado, Wyoming, and Nebraska since Utah became a U. S. Territory in 1850. The issue of polygamy prevented statehood until it was finally granted in 1896. This map features railroads and topography and uses color to set off counties from each other. Unlike most atlas maps of the period, this map identifies most small towns. The map is guaranteed to be moe than 135 years old. The map is in about very good condition: generally clean and bright, with slight toning of paper and one faint water stain near the center-left edge of the map.. Original. Single Sheet. Very Good-.
