Berckenrode, B. F. van
Ducatus Geldriae novissima descriptio
Amsterdam, engraved 1629, printed 1636
Map 46x55 cm, Centerfold as issued, hand colour, text on verso, repair in margin.
Regional map mainly of Gelderland and Utrecht compiled under the direction of Henricus Hondius (1597-1651) from the 1636 English language edition of the Mercator/Hondius Atlas, Or A Geographicke Description of the World. Unquestionably the most famous cartographer of all time, Gerard Mercator (1512-1594) envisioned his Atlas even before his friend Abraham Ortelius began work on his Theatrum, but it was late to publish, limited in geographic coverage, and never achieved commercial success in his lifetime or under the administration of his sons. However, with the addition of some 40 maps by the Hondius firm which purchased Mercator's plates from his heirs in 1604 an expanded and reissued "Mercator/Hondius" Atlas was published to great acclaim, eventually issued in nearly 50 editions in several languages. An scarce and important map.

Map 34x24 cm, 1851. Centerfold as issued. Original outline and later wash hand colouring to the vignettes.
The John Tallis company were prominent publishers in the mid-nineteenth century but are best known for producing "the last great decorative world atlas" when they issued 'The Illustrated Atlas' in 1851. This map, drawn by J. Rapkin has fine detail and includes the cities of Amsterdam, Utrecht, Arnhem, The Hague, and Groningen. There are three attractive vignettes: 'Rotterdam', 'On the Dort', and 'Dutch Peasants'. The map has a nice decorative border.

Novissima et accuratissima XVII Provinciarum
1680
Map 50x56 cm, 1680, Centerfold (misfolding) as issued, old colouring, unobtrusive blind stamp in plate, little soiling, recent framing.
Map of the XVII Provinces with the west on top. Decorative cartouche topped with a rampant lion with a sword. At the bottom of the cartouche there is the crest of Johan Munter. Munter was a wealthy merchant in Amsterdam and member of the governing body of the V.O.C. and finally became major of the city. This second state was published by Frederick De Wit in the 1680 edition of Atlas Major. The first state was published in 1672. De Wit was one of the most prominent and successful map engravers and publishers in Amsterdam in the period following the decline of the Blaeu and Jansson establishments, from which he acquired many copper plates when they were dispersed at auction.
