Description:
Augsburg: Seutter, 1740. VG+, copperplate engraving with original hand coloring (color similar to Homann, with whom Seutter apprenticed before going out on his own in about 1707). There is minimal right marginal soling, but the image and color are exceptionally bright. Decorative cartouche, as usual, probably an allegorical representation of imperial Russia. The map measures 19.25x22.5 inches. .

1687 Travels of Chardin in PERSIA Middle East Iraq Turkey Iran Voyages FrenchA rare French edition of Jean Chardin's "Travels into Persia and the East Indies". This book is regarded as one of the finest works of early Western scholarship on Persia and the Near East. This printing was published at the same time as other French edition, all are considered first editions. In this book Chardin discusses his journeys from Constantinople to the Black Sea, Persia, and throughout the Middle East (Kashan, Iraq; Armenia, Crimea, and Georgia). The end of his journey took him through the Cape of Good Hope, on his way home.
Upon his return, he was considered quite a celebrity in London; though, according to Evelyn he was 'not inclined to talke wonders". He met with famous members of the Royal Society, all of whom took great interest in his voyage. He told them of his witnessing of Abbas II's coronation, and the jewels and fine ornaments he had seen.
This second volume from the 1687 French edition was… Read More

Description:
1788 1st ed ARCTIC Voyages Johann Forster History of James Cook ATLAS Maps 2vJohann Reinhold Forster was an 18th-century Scottish naturalist who played an important role on James Cook's famous second Pacific voyage. Cook's second voyage was set to circumnavigate the world by means of going as far south as possible. This voyage, which is significantly less reported on than his third and final voyage, took Forster and crew to locations such as Easter Island, Tahiti, and the Arctic Circle. Perhaps the most important discovery from this voyage was proving that no continent existed between New Zealand and South America – a common theory amongst centuries of European navigators and historians.
Forster's 'History of Discoveries Made in the North' is one of the best accounts of voyages in the Arctic regions. He not only discusses his own experiences but covers expeditions made by Portuguese, English, French, and even Russian voyages into the Northwest Passage. He covers notable explorers such as Cabot,… Read More

Description:
Double-page hand colored engraved map, 350 x 445 mm (18" x 14", decorative cartouche. Coloring likely done at a later date, but attractively applied, wide margins, very minor aging; a bright and clear impression. Guillaume Delisle (1675-1726) was a French cartographer who was considered one of the best of his age. He has even been referred to as the father of modern geography, and was appointed Premier Geographer to Louis XV in 1718. According to Tooley and Bricker his 1700 map of Africa added a level of accuracy that would hold value for decades to come. This map of Africa is map number 84 in Norwich's Maps of Africa. The coloring was probably done at a later date, but there is an attractive cartouche with several figures, including a man spearing a crocodile. The map is from an Italian edition of Delisle’s Atlante Novissimo. Tooley & Bricker: Landmarks of Mapmaking. Norwich # 84.
