From the introduction: "We have made a selection that traces the birth and flowering of European cartography and exploration; from the Christian view of the world seen in the very first printed maps (item 1), to the state-sponsored scientific precision of the Ordnance Survey (item 25). The items within these pages include objects of fine art, such as a deluxe edition of Sebastian Münster's 'Cosmographia' (item 8), Dürer's iconic print of a rhinoceros (item 5), and a sumptuous set of sea charts from the Dutch Golden Age (item 15); as well as practical instruments like Seller's sundial (item 13) and Donn's analemma (item 22). The collection encompasses examples of the mapmaker's art from the global scale to the local; from Dürer's world map (item 6), and Drake's circumnavigation (item 11) to Georg Matthaus Vischer's sumptuous wall maps of upper and lower Austria (item 14); a pair of maps of such detail that, some 170 years after their publication, they were consulted by a young lieutenant colonel working on the new borders of Europe for the Treaty of Versailles."

Laminated illustrated wrappers with flaps, 4to, 27 cm, 207, [1] pp, ills (most in colour), price list bound in. 50 items. From the introduction: "For our second catalogue, we are proud to present a selection of rare and important atlases, sea atlases, wall maps, manuscript maps, and voyages.The catalogue begins at sea in 1380, with a portolan chart fragment. Attributed to the Catalan chartmaker Guillem Soler, it is a rare example of a functional sea chart (i.e. one that was used aboard ship) from the fourteenth century. The portolan's practical use would gradually be subsumed by the printed isolario, and then by the end of the sixteenth century by the printed sea-pilot. One of the pilot's greatest exponents was the Dutch explorer Willem Barentsz, whose 'Description de la Mer Mediterranee' of 1609 (item 14), 'set the standard for all future pilot guides' (Koeman). For the next century Barentsz's countrymen provided the benchmark for the publication of pilot guides and sea atlases, reaching their apogee in the atlases produced by the van Keulen firm. Item 23 is a sumptuous example of the firm's sea atlas output, here present in original full-wash colour. The following two centuries would see the emergence of Britain as the pre-eminent seafaring nation, with items such as Captain Williamson's rare chart of St George's Channel (item 27), Sayer's pilots of the English Channel (item 30) and Atlantic (item 31), and Yeates' fine chart of magnetic variation (item 42) bearing testament to her naval prowess. One should also mention the large chart of the Pacific (item 47), which was not only produced by the leading chartmaker of the day, William Norie, but also has a tantalizing link to Moby Dick. We continue our journey on dry land with a selection of early Ptolemaic atlases: from the 1490 Rome edition (item 2) bound for the library of Franz I of Austria and the Sylvanus edition of 1511 (item 4), one of the first examples of two-colour printing, to Martin Waldseemuller's seminal 'Geographiae' of 1513 (item 5), 'the most important of all the Ptolemy editions' (Streeter) and the atlas that would herald the birth of modern cartography. However, it would not be until the second half of the sixteenth century that the atlas would gain its modern form with the publication of Ortelius's 'Theatrum' (item 13). Ortelius's greatest rival in this endeavour was Gerard de Jode, whose rare 'Speculum' (item 10) is offered here in original hand-colour.". Fine.…
