"Tasman sailed in command of an exploratory voyage 'for the discovery of the unknown Southland.,' commissioned by the government of the Dutch East India Company at Batavia. The expedition stopped for supplies at the island of Mauritius, and then sailed in a southeasterly direction until they sighted land - present-day Tasmania, which Tasman christened Anthonij van Diemens Landt, in honor of the governor-general of the Dutch East India Company. They dropped anchor on the east coast of Tasmania and made several charts and coastal surveys of the land. They then set sail for the Salamonis (Solomon) Islands, but came straight upon the west coast of New Zealand, calling it Staten Landt, and believing it to be the mainland coast of the 'unknown Southland.' As they sailed north up the coast, several surveys of the coast and a number of drawings were made; some of the drawings concerned the natives of the land and their unfriendly treatment of the Dutchmen. They sailed further to the northeast, and visited Tongatabu, which they called Amsterdam 'because of the abundance of refreshments we got there.' The natives were very friendly, and Tasman stayed three days there, bartering for many needed supplies, and making drawings of the island and the natives. The expedition sailed through the Fiji group and charted the islands of Ontong Java (Lord Howe Island), north of the Solomon Islands. On the last leg of their journey, they sailed along and made surveys of the north coast of New Guinea. The present work is a reproduction of the edition published at Amsterdam by F. Muller in 1898." Folio, with numerous textual illustrations, and five folding maps and charts housed in the rear pocket. Full green cloth binding, with gilt-stamped titles. The dust jacket is unevenly toned, with some minor dust staining; otherwise very good. Hill 1670.…

Aggiungi al carrelloSingle sheet (15 4/8 x 19 6/8 inches). A fine engraved map of "Hollandia Nova" - "Terra Australis" by Emanuel Bowen after Abel Tasman, showing most of the western and southern coastline of Australia, with the title within a fine asymmetrical rococo cartouche lower left, two panels of explanatory text to the left (a few discreet repaired tears, paper replacements to margins, center fold strengthened). THE FIRST MAP DEDICATED TO AUSTRALIA IN ENGLISH A bright and attractive copy of Tasman's "New Holland" "A Complete Map of the Southern Continent Surveyed by Capt. Abel Tasman & Depicted by Order of the East India Company in Holland in the Stadt House at Amsterdam", and as such is the first separate depiction of Australia in English. From the second edition of John Harris's "Navigantium atque Itinerantium Bibliotheca. Or, a Complete Collection of Voyages and Travels", first published without Bowen's maps in 1705. Abel Janszoon Tasman (1603?-1659), mariner, was born at Lutjegast, near Groningen, in the Netherlands. In 1642 he was "appointed to command two ships to explore southern and eastern waters. Sailing in August he discovered Van Diemen's Land, New Zealand, the Tonga Islands and some of the Fiji group, and re-explored part of the north coast of New Guinea. On his return to Batavia in June 1643 he was chosen to take part in an expedition to form a settlement in the Tonga Islands from which the Chilean coast was to be raided; while this expedition was preparing, he was ordered to find whether there was a passage into the South Sea between Carpentaria and De Witt's Land. For this purpose he set out with three vessels at the end of January 1644 and, following the coasts from Cape Valsche round to Cape Cloates, satisfied himself that, except perhaps at Endeavour Strait, there was no passage. He was rewarded after his return in August 1644 by confirmation in the grade of commandeur, with a substantial increase in pay dated back to the beginning of his voyage in 1642" (J. W. Forsyth for the Australian Dictionary of Biography). Tasman's map of New Holland was first published in Melchisedech Thevenot's "Relations de divers voyages curieux" in 1663 and then revised until 1696. "Thevenot ensured that his book included maps at every juncture. Of the many maps, plans and drawings in the work, the map of New Holland/Terra Australia is perhaps the most politically charged. The map shows 'Hollandia Nova, detecta 1644' (New Holland, revealed 1644), consigned to the western side of the continent. A vast undescribed expanse between New Guinea, New Zealand and Van Dieman's Land, is give the French appellation 'Terre Australe, decouverte l'an 1644' (Terra Australia, discovered 1644). Thevenot divided the continent in two at longitude 135 E. The line separating 'Hollandia Nova' and "Terre Australe' correlated to the western limit of Spanish claims in the South Pacific arising from the Treaty of Tordesillas of 1494. Thevenot was essentially reusing the Spanish boundary to open up the land east of New Holland to French interests. In effect, he was signalling what many in the French administration were then advocating : that France should emulate the Dutch in ensuring that the fledgling French East India Company had access to foreign markets. when the British government drew up the boundaries of the colony of New South Wales in 1788, it set the western limit at the meridian of 135 degrees east of Greenwich, just as it appeared o Thevenot's " (Martin Woods for "Mapping our World: Terra Incognita to Australia", National Library of Australia, page 143).
