BLAEU, WILLEM JANSZ.

An exceptional pair of Blaeu Table Globes

Amsterdam, Willem Jansz. Blaeu, 1602 (published after 1621). A very rare set of globes, 9 inch / 23cm, with an overall height of 38 cm, Amsterdam, dated 1602, but published after 1621. In their original stands with circular wooden horizon rings, covered with printed paper, supported by four legs and brass meridian rings supported by a single column. The terrestrial and celestial globes are made up of a set of 12 engraved gores, heightened in gold and Arctic ice caps, printed on paper and mounted on a plaster sphere of papier maché. Each sphere is mounted in a graduated brass meridian ring, with the production number stamped on the back of the ring. The hour circles are renewed. Both globes are mounted on four-legged ebonized oak Dutch stands, which support the horizon ring. The legs are connected by two crossbeams, which support a circular base plate with central support for the meridian ring. The horizon rings are covered with printed paper. With usual defects: paper equinoctial tables present gaps that are filled and restored; small splits along gores; several partially deleted entries; on the globe, the date 1602 and the text of the cartouche in America, are illegible ; small scattered spots, but in general in good condition for such an early globe pair, of which presently only 19 pairs are recorded. These 9-inch globes are among the rarest since very few copies of them are known to exist, in comparison with the smaller or larger globes of Blaeu (4, 6, 13.5, and 26 inches). Blaeu's terrestrial globes were highly valued and were much in demand, because of the care with which they had been prepared, because of the efforts to give the latest information on discoveries, and because of the loxodromic lines that made them of special value to navigators. Willem Janszoon Blaeu (1571–1638) started “one of the most successful publishing houses of the seventeenth century” (Dekker). Originally trained in astronomy, he quickly became a leading maker of maps, atlases and instruments. At the time the Low Countries hosted the best cartographers in Europe, and Blaeu produced ever more accurate and more beautiful globes, spurred by his rivalry with fellow Dutch cartographer and publisher Jodocus Hondius. Blaeu’s globes were luxury items for wealthy and intellectual merchants and nobility, who benefited from Blaeu’s access through the Dutch East India Company to the latest navigational discoveries and geographical information. Willem Jansz Blaeu collected information that Dutch mariners gathered from around world and brought back to Amsterdam. Crews were instructed to record information about the lands they visited and the skies they saw. Blaeu incorporated these observations in maps and globes. Through his web of contacts and assiduous research, he was also able to obtain the most recent information about the latest discoveries in the western hemisphere and the South Pacific, where Dutch explorers were particularly active at the time. Since the globe was published after 1618, Blaeu was able to include the discoveries made by Henry Hudson in his attempt to find a passage to the East Indies. He also included recent Pacific discoveries of the celebrated voyages of Willem Cornelis Schouten and Jacob Le Maire, who both traversed the South Pacific and the Atlantic. The findings of Schouten and Le Maire in the Tierra del Fuego region are also incorporated. The Strait of Le Maire is drawn and the hypothetical southern continent is labeled “Terra Australis Incognita Magalanica”. Olivier van Noort’s track is drawn and labelled. His route is indicated with a broken line and the words: “Navigationis Olivierij ductus” (several times). There are various decorative features, such as animals on the different continents, many ships on the high seas and allegorical and mythical figures around the cartouches. The nine-inch globe is not just a smaller version of the one published in 1599. Drawings of animals and people do often correspond to those on the earlier globe, but Blaeu made several significant changes. The west coast of North America is drawn differently, and the river system of Brazil is altered. The hypothetical southern continent is labelled: Terra Australis Incognita Magallanica. There are nine ocean names in handsome curling letters: Mare Congelatum, Mare Atlanticum, Oceanus Aethiopicus, Mare Arabicum et Indicum, Mare di India, Oceanus Chinensis, Mar del Zur, Mare Pacificum, Mar del Nort. Willem Blaeu, always eager to display the latest discoveries, traced the route of Van Noort’s route with a broken line. The findings of the voyage of Schouten and Le Maire in the Tierro del Fuego region are included, despite the 1602 date (names: Fr. Le Maire, Mauritius, Staten Landt, C.Hoorn, I.Barneveltij). Publication : According to Peter van der Krogt, the following states are known: Terrestrial, First state: 1602 (no known examples). Second state, c1618-1621 (no known examples). Third state: 1602, but c1621 (the present example). All the states are dated 1602 but the second state must have been published after 1618, since it includes the discoveries of Schouten and Le Maire (1615–1617), but not the name “Blaeu”. Elly Dekker makes no distinction between the different states. The third state can be divided into states 3a and 3b. All globes have a different production number, some of which are illegible today. This terrestrial nine-inch globe is marked with “fabr. nr. 4”. Celestial: First state: 1602 (known in a catalogue record but no known example surviving). Second state: presumably published after 1621. All 30 known celestial globes are in the second state, as is this one, which is marked with “fabr. no. 12”. Rare: there are 19 recorded pairs, of which 14 are in institutions.Bibliography: Van der Krogt, Globi Neerlandici BLA III. Dekker GLB0152, GLB0083 (terrestrial) and GLB0151 (celestial)..

CARL BAUER|POCKET GLOBE

‘Die Erde wie sie jezt bekant’ C.B. and J.C.B. in Nbg.

Nürnberg, C. Bauer, ca. 1840. Fine double pocket globe. [The Earth as it is now known]. A very desirable terrestrial and celestial Mother and Child, or double globe; the terrestrial globe with 12 beautiful original hand-coloured engraved paper gores over a plaster sphere. All are nicely housed within the celestial globe made of two wooden hemispheres, each covered with 12 glorious engraved paper half-gores, which are both varnished. The celestial globe is clearly marked with C. B. Nbg. ca 6.5 cm. both contained in an original marbled cardboard box, with a Swedish signature, in old ink, on the lid (Johan Wilhelm) and the year 1817 or 1827 inside (indistinct). The gores stretch from pole to pole. The equator ring is graduated, and the circles of declination are every 30 degrees. The Celestial Globe: The gores are separated and are varnished, as is usual. The stars and the constellations are projected externally and are depicted in black and white, in a delightfully refreshing matter-of-fact style, with the emphasis firmly on accuracy rather than decorative merit. All names are in Latin. This globe depicts the classical constellations (Orion, Canis Major, Centaurus...), and the twelve signs of the zodiac (Taurus, Aries, Gemini...) A celestial globe is a three-dimensional map of the stars and has been used since classical times. Celestial globes were first used by Greek astronomers, and later by the Islamic world, where the earliest known globes date from the eleventh century. The stars were thought to sit on the surface of a giant sphere around the earth, and the constant movement of the stars each night and throughout the year appeared to be caused by this giant sphere slowly turning overhead. In line with its counterpart, the terrestrial globe, celestial globes are mapped by a north and a south pole, an equator, and lines of latitude and longitude. The Terrestrial Globe: The globe is in fine original colours, in the main consisting of yellow, pink, and green. For ease of identification and for reference, each continent is coloured differently. The text is in German. Although a pocket globe by sheer necessity is small and compact, they still manage to impart and provide a wealth of cartographic and topographic information, and this lovely globe is no exception. The Pacific region covers an area that encompasses New Zealand, Tahiti, The Sandwich Islands, New Caledonia, the title of the globe, Friedrich Island, North Georgia, and the Marquesas Islands to name but a few. The Atlantic Ocean covers the coastlines of the Americas and Western Africa, and it also embraces the islands of the Azores, St. Helena, Cape Verde, and the Canaries. Interestingly, when you view Australia (Neu Holland), the coastline has been updated and the landmass is now complete and fully joined. Previously, this has not been the case, with Tasmania joined to the mainland, the eastern coastline was either represented, or indistinct at best, and in addition, Papua New Guinea was seen as part of the Australian continent. Van Diemen’s Land and New South Wales are identified. New Zealand is now fully mapped and shows two separate islands. The South Pole takes in the southern tips of South America, Australia and New Zealand, and Southern Africa. The North Pole covers swathes of northern Russia and Siberia, Greenland, Canadian North America, Iceland, The Aleutian Islands, northern Europe, and Scandinavia. North America is seen with the naming of Philadelphia, all the regions of Canada, Mexico, Florida, California, and N. Albion are all identified. The Mississippi River is seen, together with a few rivers running into the Gulf of Mexico from the southwest (today Texas). South America shows the regions of New Granada, Guiana, Chili, and Brazil. It names Quito, Lima, Paraibo, Porto Seguro, Rio de Janeiro, and Buenos Ayres. It shows the Galapagos Islands, it also names the mighty Amazon River and shows the Andes Mountain range. The continent of Asia identified many regions, and names some of the more significant of interesting place names. Regions include Persia, India, Tibet, Mongolia, Siberian Russia, China, Anatolia, Ceylon, Sumatra, the Philippines, and Arabia. Place names are Malabar and Peking. Africa highlights the areas of Egypt, the Sahara, the Barbary Coast, Senegal, Nubia, Guinea, Mozambique, Madagascar, and Zanzibar. There are some strange local names to content with: Hottentots (South Africa), Shaggas (Chaga, Tanzania), and Biafra ((Nigeria). The Nile River is drawn. Europe names only St. Petersburg but identifies ‘White Russia’, Great Britain, Spain, and France. Background Bauer information: Two generations of the Bauer family in Nuremberg acted as fine globemakers at the end of the eighteenth and the first half of the nineteenth centuries. Johann Bernard Bauer (1752-1839) is mentioned as the engraver of a celestial globe by J.G. Klinger in 1790 and as the author of a small terrestrial globe of 1791. His son, Carl Johann Sigmund Bauer (1780-1857) is probably the author of globes signed ‘C.B.’ – the addition of ‘Nbg’ on his celestial globes stands for Nuremberg. Another son, Peter Bauer (1783-1847) also signed his globes with his initials P.B. or with his full name. It may be entirely possible that the globemaker J.C.B. working in Nuremberg was also a member of the family – possibly a third son of Johann Bernard Bauer. Condition: Terrestrial: There has been some professional restoration undertaken to the North Pole region and northern Europe, which originally suffered some losses. Celestial: Some minor losses around the opening, which are still there, and have not been restored. Provenance: Baroness Wibeke Beck-Friis (1916-2008). Literature: Dekker, Elly. (1999).

CHAMBON, G.D.|WALLMAP

Wall map of the world in two hemispheres printed on two sheets,

Paris, Longchamps et Janvier, 1754. Wall map of the world in two hemispheres printed on two sheets, depicting the Eastern and Western hemispheres supported by two male figures, decorated at the bottom right and left with two celestial hemispheres (boreal and southern) and at the bottom in the middle with an armillary sphere, in addition. Size 115 x 145 cm. Copper engraving made by Gobert-Denis Chambon after the work of Guillaime De L’Isle, published in 1754 by Jean Janvier and S.G. Longschamps. This map is most notable for its depiction of the Sea of Japan labeled Mer de Corée and of Mer de L'Ouest or Sea of the West - a great sea, easily the size of the Mediterranean, to flow from the then-known Strait of Juan de Fuca. Australia and New Zealand are depicted in typical post-Tasman form, however, unlike other French cartographers at the time who tended to join New Guinea to Tasmania in a single and highly creative, imaginary coastline, Janvier leaves those undiscovered coastlines blank. Early Dutch discoveries are noted in Australia and New Zealand, as are other recent discoveries around the world. The tracks of Magellan, Vasco da Gama and Francis Drake are shown. According to Don McGuirk this map shows an early copy of a Buache type 1 Mer de l'Ouest. Four states of this map were found. - State 1 : Dated 1751. - State 2: Dated 1754. Under the title, engraved by Chambon. Lower left, A PARIS, chés les Sieurs Longchamps et Janvier, Geographes, rue St Jacques a l'Enseigne de la Place des Victoires. This state and later states is found surrounded by borders with biblical vignettes. - State 3: Dated 1788. Now chez Mondhare and Jean. - State 4: Dated An 8 (1799-1800). Now Paris Chez Jean rue Jean de Beauvois. Reference: McGuirk, The Last Great Cartographic Myth - Mer de l'Ouest, 30. Later coloured. Some parts are contemporarily underlaid with paper, for protective reasons. Repair of a split on the crossing of folds. Some paper discoloration. Some staining and folds. A good copy of a rare wall map..

COVENS, JOH. & MORTIER, CORN.|WALLMAP

Sedes Belli of De Stoel des Oorlogs in den Landen. Van Braband, Gelderlandt, Kleef en Luykerland &.

Amsterdam, Johannes Covens & Cornelis Mortier, 1740. The first wall map of the Seven Provinces of 1651, re-issued as 'Stoel des Oorlogs' by Covens & Mortier. Size 136,5 x 172 cm. The first issue of the present wall-map is known to be included in the Klencke Atlas in the British Library; the second edition, by son Dancker Danckerts, is present in the other two giant atlases: the Mecklenburg Atlas in Rostock and the Atlas des Grossen Kurfürsten in Berlin. After Nicolaas Visscher published a third state of this decorative piece it was the firm of Covens & Mortier who sold this fourth and final state of the map. Presumably commemorating the 1648 treaty and the Republic's independence, this map might be considered to be a peace-counterpart of the monumental 21-sheet world map that was published by Joan Blaeu in 1648. This historical context, also unveiled by the many decorative and symbolical references, hardly applied to the Covens & Mortier era. However, the new 'Stoel des Oorlogs' title and some minor changes were a poor attempt to bring it more or less up-to-date and fit it into the popular 'Théâtre de la guerre' category. This map, like those in the giant atlases, is a good example of the few surviving cartographic treasures..

Each globe consists of 12 hand-coloured copper engraved gores over a paper-maché hollow core, made up of two hemispheres joined at the equator and covered with a layer of plaster. There are paper horizon rings, made up of a series of concentric circles, displaying the months of the year, the signs of the zodiac, and wind directions. THE TERRESTRIAL GLOBE: The globe provides much detailed information, and was accurate up to the date of production, which in this case is the mid-19th century. It shows the latest discoveries and developments that have taken place. It displays names and territories that were once familiar to the people of the age, 150 years into the future! In Asia for example, there are places like ‘Little Bucharia’, ‘Little and Greater Tartary’, and ‘Russia in Asia.’ Undoubtedly, the continent has changed more than any other in Africa. So many African countries that we know and recognize now, had different, perhaps more ‘Colonial’ names more than a century and a half ago. There was ‘Nubia’ (Sudan/Egypt), ‘Abyssinia’ (Ethiopia), ‘Cape Colony’ (South Africa), and ‘Dahomey’ (Benin) to name a few. Australia was a little over 50 years away from its union via the ‘Federation’ in 1901. This brought about the Commonwealth of Australia. However, in 1850 there were six separate British self-serving colonies, ruled directly from England. In North America, both Los Angeles and San Francisco are incorporated as cities into California - as it becomes the 31st U.S. state. Much of the mid-western and western USA was known as ‘The Western Territory’ & ‘The Missouri Territory’, Florida was still referred to as ‘East & West Florida’. Canada was split into ‘Canada East’ & ‘Canada West.’ Canada East was primarily (for historical reasons) French-speaking, and Canada West was primarily English-speaking. Much of Western Canada remained unexplored and undeveloped. In Europe, there was still the ‘Russian Empire’, the ‘Ottoman Empire’, the ‘Austro-Hungarian Empire’, and the German-Prussian Empire.’ THE CELESTIAL GLOBE: The Celestial Globe displays the stars, constellations, clusters, and nebulae in a beautiful and well-thought-out manner. Mythical figures and signs of the zodiac are seen. The equinoctial and solstitial colures are graduated in degrees. Although the colour is somewhat muted, it takes nothing away from the overall beauty and the undoubted aesthetic qualities of the globe. Georges Frederick CRUCHLEY (active 1797-1880) was a London-based book and map seller, active in the mid-19th century. He worked with the Cary firm, and in 1850 he appended his name to the address 81 Fleet Street in London. This address is covered over the globe, as is often the case with the reseller's corporate name. Cruchley began his cartographic career as an apprentice in the venerable film Aaron Arrowsmith. Many of Cruchley's early maps have the words From Arrowsmith on the imprint. In 1844 Cruchley acquired the massive stock of the important early 19th century firm, John Cary. Cruchley published his maps as well as reissues of Cary's stock until the 1870s. He is best known for his detailed plans for London, which in recent years have become increasingly rare and desirable. Cruchley was based in London at 38 Ludgate Street until 1834 when he moved his office to 81 Fleet Street. Shortly before he died in 1880, Cruchley auctioned off (Hodgson's Auctions, January 16, 1877) all of his stock. Many of his map plates were thus acquired by Gall and Inglis who continued the Cruchley tradition until the early 20th century. Cruchley's son, also George Frederick (1837-1882), continued to work as a book and map seller until his death..

Geor. Puschnero Chalcographo Norib. A.C. 1730. Nuremberg, Johann Georg Puschner, 1730. Hand-colored copper engravings, papier-mâché, brass meridian ring, four-column turned wooden frame with octagonal or round horizon ring. Earth globe inscribed in a cartouche: «Meridianus primus per insulam Fer. quae inter Canarias occidentalissima, ductus est, à quo Parisiensis 20. Gradibus, Noribergensis autem 28. Grad. 40 Minutis distat.». H. 30, D. 20 cm. D. (with stand) 28 cm. The Nuremberg mathematician, physicist, and astronomer Johann Gabriel Doppelmayr (1677 - 1750), one of the most renowned natural scientists of his time, is the creator behind this pair of globes. In fact, no natural science collection of universal pretensions, such as a cabinet of curiosities or a magnificent baroque princely library, could be without such a pair of terrestrial and celestial globes. Towards the end of his studies at the University of Halle from 1700 to 1702, Doppelmayr had undertaken a study trip to England and the Netherlands, where he deepened his knowledge of astronomy and lens grinding. Through his mathematical and astronomical writings, but also through the terrestrial and celestial globes, which he published in collaboration with the engraver Johann Georg Puschner (1680 - 1749) between 1718 and 1736, he achieved great international fame. His scientific and publishing achievements were honored by memberships of the Royal Society in London and the Academies of Berlin and St. Petersburg. Condition: Original varnish on the two globes. Cleaned these though. Retouched the top round axle of the celestial globe. Refilled the place where the axles are in the globes. Removed the horizon rings from the seats and cleaned them completely. Through scans, we made a facsimile. On top of this print the remains of the original ring. The parts where the facsimile remained visible were further colored so that the difference was no longer visible. Then colored the hand-colored parts as Doppelmayer was originally colored. The pair of globes are original and in fine condition..

(28 inch.); TITLE (translated): Uranographia, showing a most accurate depiction of the constellations and the conspicuous stars in the individual constellations, which is adapted from the observations of the matchless astronomer Johannes Hevelius for the end of the year 1700. Moreover, by a new method invented by Lotharius Zumbach, Doctor of Medicine and a famous mathematician, the horizon at the meridian of Amsterdam is added, showing accurately for more than 200 years the syzygies of the moon, as well as the common years and the bissextiles. By the labour and enthusiasm of Gerard and Leonard Valk from Amsterdam, 1715. With privilege.

(Translation): To Johannes Trip, J.U.D. a man noteworthy for is most splendid deserts and for the brilliance of his virtues, the most eminent consul of the State of Amsterdam, the incorruptable director of the East India Company, most upright Lord of Berkenrode, etc. the Uranographia is given and dedicated with equal reverence, by Gerhard and Leonard Valk. Complete with the Equator, the tropics, the polar circles, a half equinoctal colure, a half circle of declination through 30 degrees. Ecliptic, circles and parallels of latitude every 5 degrees. The equator and ecliptic are graduated. The stars / constellations are represented as their figures, and their names are displayed in Latin. There is a legend that is crowned by the sun. There is an attractive “Sextans Uraniae” situated just below “Leo.” Established at the end of the previous century by Gerard Valk, and assisted by his son Leonard, the firm became the only publisher of globes in the Netherlands in the 18th century. In Amsterdam Gerard began his publishing firm producing maps and atlases in co-operation with Petrus Schenk about 1680. It was about 30 years later that he began to publish globes with his son. After the death of Leonard, the firm continued under the stewardship of his widow, Maria Schenk, and towards the end of the 18th century the globe factory came in to the possession of Cornelis Covens. The globe is in fine condition, cleaned and revarnished, the gold embossing has been supplemented in certain places. The colouring is fine and original, as has a lovely looking ‘aged patina’. The celestial figures are finely engraved and rendered in truly glorious and eye-catching detail, including gold embossing to the stars and some constellations, and to the decorative sextant. Provenance: private collector from The Netherlands..
