Description

This is one of the later issues of this much respected and highly popular early geography that was first published in 1624. It contains 47 copper engraved folded or double page maps.
Some tables, a bold red and black title page with a small vignette and a beautifully engraved frontispice are also included. This difficult to find example includes the embellished double-hemisphere world map and America, which shows California as an island. Phillip Cluver founded the discipline of historical geography, and his posthumously-published six volume work remained the standard for more than a century. large 8vo (25x20cm). Complete.
Original vellum hardbound with gilt decorative touches on front and back of the city Amsterdam. (school prize binding) This atlas was given by a school to a student in 1773 (see photo)

In good condition, all maps with folds, and some with stains, the ties of the binding are missing.

Info

Do you want to sell your antique maps or atlases?

If you wish to offer us maps for sale, it is most helpful to provide a list of maps which includes the title of the map, the mapmaker, the size of the map (printed image only) and a brief condition report. Pictures are also very helpful. It is typically not necessary to send more than one picture per map, unless requested.
