Important first map of Japan published in a European atlas based on Luis Teixeira that sent maps of China and Japan to Ortelius in 1592. From the Theatrum Orbis Terrarum published in Antwerp in 1612. Althought as early as 1617 a more accurate map of Japan by Blancus appeared on the market, this map retained influence more than 50 years. Korea appears as an island and all is embellished by three galleons in the sea and two elaborate cartouches. [cod.1236/15]
Stunning map of Sicily from “L’Isolario dell’Atlante Veneto” by Coronelli published in Venice in 1696. Vincenzo Maria Coronelli is widely recognised as one of Italy?s most famous and greatest cartographers. He received an ecclesiastical education at the convent of the Minor Conventuals and also studied theology in Rome. [cod.058/15]
A beautiful very decorative Japanese world map surrounded by nice illustrations featuring scenes of animals, people or important ancient and modern buildings from across the globe. The map shows only essential geographical information like capitals and names of the countries and continents because a second world map more detailed and marking the flight routes between major centres is printed on verso. A really nice uncommon map.
