Dopo la morte del grande cartografo Johann Baptist Homann (1664 - 1724), la direzione dell'azienda passò al figlio Johann Christoph Homann (1703 - 1730).  J. C. Homann, forse rendendosi conto che non sarebbe sopravvissuto a lungo al padre, stabilì nel suo testamento che l'azienda sarebbe stata ereditata dai suoi due direttori, Johann Georg Ebersberger (1695 - 1760) e Johann Michael Franz (1700 - 1761), e che sarebbe stata pubblicata solo con il nome di "Eredi Homann".  Questa denominazione,   compare sulle mappe a partire dal 1731 circa.  L'azienda continuò a pubblicare mappe in quantità sempre minore fino alla morte dell'ultimo proprietario, Christoph Franz Fembo (1781 - 1848).  La Gumina n. 428.

Hand-Colored Original Copperplate Engraving by Homann Heirs, depicting Repraesentationem Circuli Saxonici Inferioris. Published Nürnberg, 1784. Sheet: 48.3 x 52 cm (19 x 20,5 inches). A fine and original hand-colored example of Homann Heirs's celebrated cartographic work, documenting this region of Germany with the precision and decorative artistry characteristic of the 17800s. Johann Baptist Homann (1664-1724) was the foremost map publisher of 18th-century Germany. Born in Bavaria, he founded his cartographic publishing house in Nuremberg in 1702 and within a decade had become the dominant force in German-language cartography. In 1715, Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI appointed him Imperial Cartographer -- a prestigious title that gave Homann access to the most current geographic data and exclusive publishing privileges. His maps are celebrated for their bold copper engraving, elaborate Baroque cartouches, and vivid original hand coloring. Following Homann's death in 1724, the firm continued under the imprint 'Homann Heirs' (Homannsche Erben). His maps are held in major collections worldwide, including the Library of Congress, the British Library, and the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek.This original copperplate engraving, with original hand coloring depicts the region of Repraesentationem Circuli Saxonici Inferioris, published in Nürnberg, 1784.

unbound. Atlas title page. Engraving with hand coloring. Image measures 16.25 x 10.25". Sheet measures 19.5 x 12.25". This lovely title page comes from Johann Baptist Homann's "Atlas mapparum geographicarum generalium & specialium," or "Atlas of specific and general maps," as published in the 18th century by his heirs. The title is printed in a combination of Latin block letters and script. Below it is a map of the northern hemisphere shown on a polar projection, notably displaying California as an island. A border visualizing the outer ring of an astrolabe surrounds the globe, and the sun and moon create pleasing shading on its surface. Above, a banner above reads "Nulla dies abeat, quin linea ducta supersit," which translates to "Let not a day pass without a drawn line remaining," possibly referring to the division between light and dark created by the movement of the Earth around the sun. Johann Baptist Homann (1664-1724) was a renowned German mapmaker of the late-17th and early-18th century who served as geographer to the Holy Roman Emperor. His business was carried on through the 18th century by the Homann Heirs, also prolific and popular mapmakers. Their continued success with maps such as this one proves the enduring value of Homann's work.…
